mental meandering

I started this a while back and never finshed, but I thought it was close enough to complete to just go ahead and post it.

There are some things that I will never understand. Look, I believe that I’m an intelligent person (I’m pretty sure you’ve guessed that about me already), but some things are just totally flying past me. Like, I don’t get why some people are always blindsided by the obvious. It’s not like there aren’t pretty blatant signs when something isn’t right. If someone has behaved a certain way for the entirety of your relationship, how in hades can you be surprised every time they do it? Why are you shocked that they keep saying or doing crazy sh*t, when they’ve been that way since day one? Acknowledge the elephant in the room and just be okay with whatever your version of normal is. I’m not telling you to settle for poor behavior, I’m telling you that if you like it and/or continuously accept it, they have no reason to stop doing it.

I will also never understand the complete nature of male / female friendships. And I have quite a few male friends. No matter what, there is always some interesting pathology there that I seem to be missing. I know the nature of the beast is different, but I have always been willing to accept way more crap from my male friends than I would from a boyfriend and my complaints about the two would be very similar. There is just some strange dichotomy that I am unable to completely explain. Now, maybe it boils down to a physical attraction / sexuality issue that, no matter how small it may be, skews the male / female dealings. Or maybe I’m just a hard woman to be friends with. LOL

I’m not saying that you should be a cynic. Contrary to popular belief I’m an optimist – A skeptical optimist, but still… I’m just saying, do you. And then, to quote Cool Breeze, watch for the hook.
