Okay, so first of all, I took my girlfriend to the drive in movie theater last night, and we generally had a good time, but then, towards the end of the first movie, she was biting her fingers, and I was playing around, and told her to stop. She didn't so I went to "play hit" her, and accidently tapped her in the face. Nothing big, just a small tap. I still felt horrible about that. No girl deserves that. I literally apologized to her for about 15 minutes. I felt so bad. So, today comes, and I spent the whole day thinking about that. I felt absolutely horrible about it. Nothing could describe it. I stopped by her house on my way to work, just to say hi, but she was in the shower. I went up to her bathroom door, and called to her and told her that I had stopped to say hi, so she opened the door, (in her towell), and I gave her a couple kisses and then left. So, I get to work, and someone had thrown a balloon full of mustard at our window. It had exploded everywhere, and guess who had to clean it? Me. It smelled so bad, and I wanted to vomit. Anyways, I cleaned it up. Then, my boss asked me to decorate something, and I have no sense of artistic ability whatsoever, so that looked horrible. My boss made me tear it down, which kind of made me feel bad on the inside. Then, I got off work, and went to her house to meet her brother, because we were gonna go to a mutual friend of ours' house for his birthday party. On the way there, we stopped off at another friend's house to follow him, and my driving today was absolutely horrible. I ended up backing out of a narrow alley, and scratching the back end of my car up bad because I hit a concrete wall(hardee har, funny). Anyways, I had told my girlfriend that I'd try and be to her house by about 8:30. I get to the party, and completely lose track of time. I ended up finding a clock, and noticing it was 9:30. So I like ran out this kid's door (which made me feel bad to being with), and speeding to her house. She was mad because she was already in a bad mood because she was sick, and then, because I had "lied" to her, it put her in an even worse mood. By time I got to her house, she was pretty upset over the whole thing. Since I had to be home by 10:30 because my parents are nazis, I didn't get to spend much time over there. She didn't really say anything to me the whole time, and it upset me. Anyways, I left really upset, and by time I got home, she had realized (I think...especially after her family convinced her she was big time wrong) that she was in the wrong here, and she was pretty upset. I didn't get to talk to her though when I left, because my nazi parents grounded me for being fifteen minutes late last night, but now I feel absolutely horrible. I don't know what to do to apologize to her. I don't know what to do to make myself feel better. I doubt I'll get any sleep tonight, and I have school and work tomorrow. Before you respond, (if you've made it this far...) I know that I probably seem like some panzy pushover teenager, and that this whole thread probably seems like some sort of typical teen angst, but I just needed somewhere to talk to someone, and I don't know. As a disclaimer, I would just like to say that I don't care if any of you want to call me a girl, a wuss, or what have you, this girl is it. She's the one. It's a can't miss. so, who else had a bad day?
GOTO SLEEP and get a good nice rest. . .put it out of ya mind til the morning Address the issues then when your head is clearer Rocket River
I think you summed it up with "panzy pushover teenager". Man, looking back I would gladly accept those days if I knew then what I know now.
My last day of school is in approxiamtely 9 days. After that, my curfew will be 1 every night. Still sucks, but it's a tad better. Usually if I call and ask if I can come home at like 1:30 or something, they're okay with it.
Good sleep is underrated these days. It can make the difference between a good day or bad. For the things you described, it's mostly inside your head to decide what the day will be.
I hadn't talked to you in a while EWS. How is life up north other than your bad day? Bad days happen to everyone man, let that one slide and prepare to let the next one slide too.
Man, you're so lucky. That's the best worst day ever! And that's coming from someone who tends to think things are worse than they really are. I think the past year of full time work has taught me that teenage and college years, providing the right circumstances (such as ok funds, ok- ish parents) are the best. Sad, but true. I'm trying to find a way to make the rest of my life as enjoyable - one being trying to get back into University next year to keep going with my degree!
I'm sorry you had to bear the excruciating burden of cleaning up mustard. It's enough to make one question the very existence of God. I hope you can pick up the pieces and carry on with your life....
Eddie, my man, you don't even know the half of it yet. Assuming you go to college you are gonna hit days where you are much lower than you are feeling now, but on the good side - the highs are gonna be so much better. You'll have some independance and won't have to worry about curfews. And believe me, there will be more girls to come and go. You've got your whole life ahead of you! How can you know this girl is the one when you haven't even graduated high school! You don't have a "real job" and you haven't been faced with relocating your life because you can't pass over a fantastic job offer - leaving someone you may love behind because it is the best thing for your life. Girls will come and go and as much as you think this one may be the one in a few years you may look back on things and think how silly you were back then for thinking that (or I could be wrong!). Take a step back and look at the big picture for a second, there could be a million things worse than your girlfriend being mad at you for losing track of time at a friend's party. Keep your head up - you ain't seen nothin' yet! And as a disclaimer, I'm going to be a senior in college next year (turning 21 this upcoming Saturday). I know how you are feeling right now - I've been there too. But, now I look back on those times with a smile on my face and realize that situations back then weren't worth half the emotion that I put into it!
She is not the one. Do not get married. Do dump her when you go to college. Women change about 150 time between the ages of 18 and 23 and then another 10 or 20 times between the age of 23 and 26. Do not even consider marrying one until they have reached this age as it is like marrying a schizophrenic until then. Also for you, go out and date as many women as possible during this time period. Work hard and play even harder. Your loves and friends from high school will seem the distant past very soon and all of these problems you have will seem ridiculously trivial. Go have fun and I repeat, DO NOT GET MARRIED.
I say do what you think is best, if you really like the girl try your best to keep it working.. it could really pay off for you in the end, dont just stop trying because others tell you it's gonna be hard or girls come and go.. good women are worth the work and you should know if you have one on your hands.. or if you dont want to deal with the headache and are looking for something easy you could always go to one of them "24 hour SPAs"
