| | ...man, just when you think you have life figured out (and your conclusion is... it pretty much sucks) it goes and does something alltogether odd and amazing.
So, Internet, as you know, I've been upset about my birthday. Logan is working, Sterling is gone, Frank hasn't returned my calls, Ed is on the other side of the country, and visiting my parents makes the odds pretty good I'll spend the day in a -serious- fucking bummer.
However, I was facing that fact (okay okay I was facing it with poor grace and a half a plan), and was trying to salvage the weekend. I have Friday off, that's a good time to celebrate. However Logan had a camping trip... which he thought about bowing out on, and then decided (tonight) to go ahead anyway.
I took this with poor grace. In fact, my feelings were hurt really really badly. So I told him, which led to a fight (our first... yay?). But when I get mad, I get crazy verbal, and when Logan gets mad (apparently) he shuts down (over five minutes of silence)... which succeeded in making me -more- mad/crazy (rabias anyone?). Leading to him to signing off of AIM. So I called him, in hopes of releasing the anger, expecting fully to be thwarted by voicemail. I got -him- instead, and started voicing my feelings again.
Let's take a moment to think about how this conversation might have turned out.
(feel like Clue, this is the part where the title card says "Here's what -could- have happend")
...
Most of the likely solutions are pretty ugly, right?
(Here's what Really Happened)
He told me that he had planned to take the day (part of the day?) off work on my birthday to surprise me (and was, I think, upset at me for thinking he wouldn't do anything for my birthday). Hearing that really stopped all my rage right in it's tracks. I mean... that's a very sweet idea. Of course the only negative part about his plan is that it involves me feeling like crap all that weekend thinking he doesn't care/have time for me/whatever, intead of reveling in anticipation of spending my birthday with him. But, it's an incredibly sweet well intentioned -idea-, anyway.
