People can be such...such...AAAAAAGH!!!!

Let me put it simply. I have a dear friend in another state that I've known since Jr. High, and while he can be very different at times, he's a sweet sweet guy that's probably one of the greatest friends I have or every will have.

Two "friends" of his basically said EXTREMELY HURTFUL THINGS behind his back, and he found out about it. Understandably, he is now very upset. As am I. How could they do this to him?!

My first gut reaction is go fly back there, visit these two, and hurt them severely, but of course, I can't do that. One, they wouldn't sit there and let me do that. Two, the law would be after me in a heartbeat. Three...yeah, God wouldn't be pleased with that reaction...

Why did these two false friends do this to him?! They were friends! Or, more accurately, they acted like his friends...

One of the most hurtful things that can happen is being attacked like that by people you called "friend"...I've been there, and I definitely don't wish that on others. It's very painful. I definitely wish that my dear friend didn't have to go through this...

Blast my wrists...

So, first of all, I love to crochet. I. LOVE. CROCHET. It's so much fun, and I love actually having something at the end of all my work that I can use! The problem is...my wrists.

Apparently I crocheted so much during the past summer that I injured my wrists. Both of them! Being on the computer much of the time didn't help. So now, I find that if I crochet for more than 30 minutes at a time and if I don't take breaks (as in at least a day in between), then one or both of my wrists start giving me havoc. So much PAIN!

Needless to say, this is happening at the moment. Currently my left wrist refuses to do anything but ache horribly especially if I happen to do anything like pick up my crochet hook. "But you're right-handed!" I hear you say. "Why is your LEFT wrist hurting?"

Believe me, I have no idea, but it's bad. I really want this to stop. One, because pain is not fun. Two, I want to go back to making things!

I'm worried that I'll develop severe arthritis, or carpal tunnel, or some other really bad condition in my wrists, and I'm only 20! This isn't good at all! It makes me want to do something like *headwall* repeatedly.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder....and lonely

There is that famous and clichéd saying that "absence makes the heart grow fonder" which can be true in many cases. I certainly felt that way when Nil went off to Malaysia for winter break, but...it also can make the heart colder and lonely.

Anyway, just a short thought.
