Um, hi...you're driving me crazy...

So, I've got this friend who is going through a bit of a tough time right now. Probably teetering on a mini-nervous breakdown. This has been building for some time now and I've tried my best to be there to be supportive and understanding. She has also been very supportive and understanding with me and the changes and decisions I've had to make in my life. So far so good.

Its just that she's starting to drive me fucking crazy. "Let's go for a drink." "You're taking me for lunch today." "Who are you talking to on the phone?" "What are you meeting with him for?" "Why do we have to go for sushi at lunch?"

Holy crap. Leave me alone already. Do I look like your day husband?

I can see now, in my own life, over so many years that I've been needy and have smothered others with my need for friendship and companionship. I will try to be understanding and supportive and not flame out. I guess ultimately this gives me some perspective in how I deal with others.

I feel like in my life now, I'm standing at the entrance to an amusement park. I don't know which ride I want to go on first but I know I want to go on them all. However, there is not enough time for all of them. I suppose I'd better start making better and tough choices on how I want to live the rest of my days.

I think this is called balance. Interesting concept.

I'm so not going to Benihanna for lunch!!! That's final.
