I Did It & I'm Done!
So I bit the bullet Friday night, went to Guitar Center and walked out with my brand new electric guitar. A Fender American Stratocaster with a Fender Junior Blues tube amp, all paid for on my new Guitar Center credit card, that I won't have to pay interest on in 15 months. I think I can pay for everything in that time frame. I better, or there is something seriously wrong with me! I love the thing. I brought it home Friday night, plugged it all in and proceeded to just play and mess around for a good hour or more. Later in the evening I picked it up again and played minus the amplification for another half hour. Then again on Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, Saturday night, this afternoon, later this evening... you get the point. I love it, I love playing it, I'm so happy I got it.
Only downside is I couldn't bring my new toy to my lesson on Saturday, as it was canceled. My teacher called me up on Saturday morning and sounded like absolute crap. He said he caught some fever from a kid he was giving a lesson to and decided to keep his germs to himself. So lesson canceled. I'm off from work tomorrow, so I think I'm going to call, see if he's feeling better and if he's open and try to make a lesson for tomorrow sometime. We shall see.
In other news, I know I said I was done talking about her, but this is for final this time, I swear it. So I was at work Friday night, I go to leave and see I had two missed calls on my cell, mostly because I turned the ringer to silent, so it didn't even vibrate. First call was from Brett about going out that night or later in the weekend, which we did yesterday and had fun. The second was from Elena, asking for help in downloading TV because her tape or DVR screwed up. I was like, no thanks, and never returned the call. She called again yesterday, and although I heard the phone ring I didn't answer. Then she IM'd me again today and was asking how to download these shows. I was dreading talking to her because I knew I'd have to tell her that I couldn't be friends with her anymore, and I'm not good at confrontation to begin with. So I told her, call me and I'll explain it to you. I gave her just enough info to point her in the right direction, but she was like, can't you just explain it in further detail. I said no, she asked why and I said it wouldn't be fair, to me. I then went into that our friendship works much in the same way our relationship did, in a very one sided manner. I said that 9 times out of 10 the only reason she calls me is when she needs a favor or something from me. I said thats not fair to me, and that although I've tried my best to be her friend, its just too weird and uncomfortable for me, so I can't be her friend anymore.
You'd think after hearing all that, she'd have some kind of reaction or something to say, but nope. It just went in one ear and out the other. She said to take care of myself, I said the same thing, said goodbye and hung up. So now I'm officially done with her. Its a good feeling.
