Valendoom's Day. Don't care. Never really had a good Valentine's
Day in my life, so I don't think anything of it. Doesn't depress
me because I don't know what I'm missing.
I HOPE you're smart enough to notice the hair and clothes.
I HOPE you realize that this conversation with Mike is the
same exact conversation as last episode. This happens a lot
this season, so please pay attention.
Panty-droppers. Doesn't offend me, never has because I don't
care. I was a little pissed that the storyboard to didn't
point out that I didn't care at all. Anyway, when the panty-droppers
came over, I don't know WHY the other girls wanted to leave
the house. I just didn't know why anyone gave a shit. Is it
really a feminist issue?
Coral is right that it is fucked up for Mike to call him
these things behind their backs on TV. If my friend called
me that on TV, I'd be really pissed. It's true. But I don't
care if other people call each other that.
To be honest here, I don't think it was fair for the girls
to make fun of Mike's friends. If you think it's so mean that
Mike calls those girls names, then why are you contributing
and calling them names as well? I just don't understand it.
Why didn't I speak up and confront anyone on this? Again,
didn't care enough to make a big stink about it. However,
I agree with Mike. The girls DID make Mike's friends uncomfortable,
whether they meant to or not. You don't talk shit about another
person's friends, that's my personal rule. Rachel and Coral
were calling the girls ho's when the girls walked away. I
mean, they weren't my friends, so I didn't care all that much,
but I imagined what it would be like if it were my friends,
and if so, there would have been trouble. If anyone said that
about my friends, I'd fucking kill them because no one does
that to my friends.
Stevie B. Whatever, so dumb, not worthy of TV at all. There
was a cute bartender that I did not want to go out with, just
noticed he was cute. Blown out of proportion.
Mike goes out with a panty-dropper. Boring. Moving on
House meeting. Ugh. I hesitate to even talk about this. I
don't enjoy disagreeing with Coral because I love her, but
the truth is, I disagree with her sometimes. It's not my place
to jump in and say, "I don't agree with you," when
I'm not involved, but it is what I think. I think that Coral
was harsh on Mike in this scene. I think Coral agrees now
that she was harsh. Again, I agreed with Mike that it was
not fair that we didn't make his guests feel more welcomed
in our home. I did agree with Coral that Mike should not have
called his friends sluts, basically, on TV. Coral does say
"peace" as hello, which she sometimes says very
friendly, and sometimes she says it coldly. Mike doesn't really
get a word in this fight, and that's not fair. I don't agree
that it's fair for Coral to tell Mike how to act and then
yell at him for telling her how to act because she's an adult.
Coral is an extremely mature and beautiful woman. I know this
because she and I are very close. However, I don't think it's
a mature move to yell at someone and claim you are allowed
to say whatever you want because you are mature. She didn't
like Mike at this point anyway, so the anger and anxiety was
caused by more than this issue. She was hurt from before,
and when someone hurts you, you end up trying to hurt them
back. This can be subconscious, but it happens. So, it's not
that she was just being mean.
Okay, next scene is another one of my favorites. This is
important here: Coral and I were inseparable for most of the
season with the exception of the three weeks between Outkast
and Morocco. She and I were SURE that part of the plotline
of the season would be our friendship because it was so strong
and important to both of us. The only friendships they really
ever showed was the boys, and this severely aggravates me.
It's not fair. This confessional with us in our towels makes
me so happy because we had just gotten drunk together at Bar
& Books, and now we dancing and making fun of each other.
Coral is was right about me. I do dive into a relationship
once it is presented to me. That's just me, I guess.
Anyway, what was frustrating was that Stevie B. gave me those
chocolates and I thought it was nice. THAT IS IT. I thought
it was NICE. I didn't think anything more of it, I swear,
but everyone kept making it seem like I was making a big deal
of it. I wasn't. "Isn't it nice?" I asked. "No,"
everyone responds. I think that's really weird, and I got
frustrated that no one would agree with me. Also, I was drunk.
What's weird is right before that confessional scene when
I was in the shower, I sat on the floor and I sobbed. No one
could be hear me because of the running water, but I cried
my eyes out. Yeah, I was drunk, but I was also frustrated
with Coral. At this point, I already knew that I loved her,
but I had a hard time communicating with her. When friends
are made that might not have had the opportunity to be made
without some outside force putting you together, it is common
that you don't speak the same language. You know what I mean
by that. You just can't get your point across, can't find
the right words to make that person understand what you mean.
Well, Coral was trying to tell me that I'm an amazing person
and should not let something small like those chocolates make
me feel attractive. She believed that I should feel attractive
on my own, and that I deserve the very best in life. Her intentions
were gold, but she told me in a way that hurt me, that made
me feel stupid. I guess I got over it and then we had the
confessional when we laughed. I don't know if it was that
night or another night that we got into bed and I confronted
her. I told her that I was upset with her because she thinks
I'm stupid and I know I'm not. She realized that she may have
told me the wrong way, and that she didn't know that I was
upset. She realized that it's not always your intentions that
matter, you have to be careful how your phrase things to others
because words can hurt. I realized what she really meant,
and my love for her grew enormously that evening because I
knew she was a true friend.
Back to Valentines Day. Those vases were SO sweet that Mike
made. They were the nicest things ever. When you see my face
when I read the note, you can see that I've been crying. Well,
I was PMSing hard core that week, and I had planned to wake
up early on Valentines Day to get everyone flowers and leave
it on their beds for when they woke up. I didn't hear my alarm,
so I missed it. When I saw Mike's vases, I realized that I
couldn't go get flowers because it would look like I was stealing
his thunder, and I didn't want to do that to him. So, I called
my friend Mike and cried to him about over the phone.
The girls had a girl day. We went out shopping, then we went
to MAC for like three hours and got our make up done. We had
already made plans to go out, just the girls. We got a lot
of grief for not bringing Mike along, but no one gave Malik
and Kevin shit for going upstate without Mike. Mike had plans
that night, we thought. I did feel weird about leaving Mike
home alone. I can't defend myself much for doing that because
it's sad and fucked up, especially after watching the episode
and seeing him type that he was lonely. It was sad. I do feel
really bad.
