i didn't really pay attention to it here, i just hate David O Russell movies... lol you could say i walked into it wanting to hate it, but i don't consider myself that type of person at allllll :P
i love the cast though so i actually did want to like it.
i went out and got drunk with my roommates, and tequila is the devil i was suppose to hook up with one of my roommate's friends but i was too tired, poor guy was so excited but when i'm tired, i'm tired
I saw The Gatekeepers last night and that was pretty good. And I think Alan Alda was in the audience. Seeing Warm Bodies tonight with friends & looking forward to it because I ♥ zombies.
Watched Mirror Mirror this afternoon as I attempt to catch up on all the Oscar movies--pretty meh.

So I have a situation with two friends. They're starting to despise each other. One is way more outspoken about it than the other. The outspoken one is also the only one out of the three of us who is married.
So tonight, for example, my married friend invited only me over to her house. To watch tv. And eat food. But I have to wait until her husband is at work for me to even be able to go over. To top it off, she didn't invite our 3rd friend, because she said she "wasn't up for dealing with her." And then, lo and behold, 10 minutes later the uninvited friend texted me asking what I was doing tonight :(

I really was looking forward to going out tonight.. but then she was like "just come over, we'll get food and watch movies." and I was like, ok. But then she laid the whammy that I shouldn't come over until her husband goes to work, which is like 7:30ish. And that pissed me off.
And I don't know why she won't invite our 3rd friend. And I know if I try to change the plans, I'll somehow get made out to be the bad guy.

that is a tough situation. do what you want to do, and try to take their dislike for each other out of it. Judge them based on how they treat YOU and you should have your answer. I know its hard but you have to look out for yourself too

Your married friend sounds like kind of a jerk, tbh, only wanting you around when the husband isn't there.
Anyway, I would tell your uninvited friend you have plans and leave it at that.
You should also make it clear to both of them that even though they hate each other you're still going to be friends with them which means that they can't badmouth each other to you because you won't put up with it. And enforce that rule.
One of my really good friends is friends with this girl I hate, but we both know it's my problem so I arrange myself accordingly and I don't drag my hate into her friendship with that girl. If they keep trying to play games with you cut them both out.

My only advise is not to lie to either person and if it's starting to bother you that the married friend is being more outspoken and drawing lines in the sand, say something. ~The truth will set you free~

that's such an awkward situation! why do you have to wait for the husband to be gone to go over to the married friend's house? that's weird.
i usually take the coward's way out with stuff like that and don't text back haha. i wouldn't tell the 3rd friend that you're going to the married friend's house; i feel like only drama could come of that.
as for the friendship as a whole, i think it depends. no offense but the married friend sounds like a douche. if i were you, i'd be cooling the friendship w/her but if you don't want to, then just socialize with the friends separately, like never make plans with the two of them together. but don't get involved in their drama -- let them work out their own issues.
I worked all day and then I came home and ate Chinese food and relaxed. It was a fabulous evening tbqh.
Today I went to the bank and ended up stopping at Barnes and Noble on the way back and got two new books - The Dirty Girls Social Club and Girls of Riyadh. I also picked up the third Pirates when I went to Target so I'm going to watch that tonight I think.
mmm, i want chinese. my friend and i went to the movies last night and i asked her if she wanted to go to a chinese buffet before, but she said she'd already eaten...who the fuck cares? i am never too full for chinese
If Zombieland focused more on the romantic relationship between that guy and girl, maybe? Aside from zombies and humor they're not that much alike. But if you like Zombieland, or Shaun of the Dead, then you'll probably like Warm Bodies too.
Just came back from Silver Linings Playbook; I loved it. I also REALLY wanted to see Warm Bodies but I decided to go next week instead, so excited for that one too.
I was so confused when you commented on one of my posts with the next directions and then I tried to find the beginning but couldn't. But if you did another I'd do it.
A few weeks ago the guy I've been sleeping with for three years but won't date me (yes, it's one of THOSE awful situations) finally hit a threshold of being really cruel and ignoring me in public. It's one thing to not treat me like a legit girlfriend, but he wouldn't even talk to me. Last night (way after bar closing, mind you) he texted and called and tried to get me to come over. I hung up on him every time but I still feel unsure in that dumb way. I did the right thing, right?
absolutely you did the right thing. i am proud of you bb. take it as a compliment that he came back around (like you knew he would) but DONT take it as a ~sign that he has changed. you will find someone much better <3 <3
It's very hard because he has a very sweet nature...he just makes really lousy decisions. He has a way about him that makes people think he's nice even when he's being slimy. So this whole time I've always felt like I must have been the one doing something wrong because the guy seems like he would be a great boyfriend if he would just decide to be. But I guess that's the difference between being nice and being kind.
Hell Yeah you did! Don't let that piece of shit look through you when you guys have been in contact for three years. He's basically saying your his back up, he doesnt want to be seen with you but your there when he wants some. That shit could cause some emotional damage down the road.

No need to lie. If those two can't get along then they shouldn't be friends and you tell them they better not put you in the middle of their bullshit.
