    Be Assertive - Stop Whining

    It's really sad when your friends don't even support your decisions and start calling you a dictator.
     
    They try to warn me: you know people are going to think your decision was unfair, right? AS FUCK i know people are gonna say it's unfair. Of course, there are ALWAYS gonna be people who don't agree with your decision. That's the problem with trying to please 44 people all at once, IT'S NOT POSSIBLE! This is the best decision I can make. I've even tried to be democratic about it, I even asked people about it. Yet, that just backfired cuz now everyone wants to be happy, and I can't get that. What my friends don't realize is that I've been torn by this decision for the last month and this is the best I can do. Of course I've conidered all the circumstances. Fine, I guess they thought they are doing this with my best interest at heart, but that just makes me feel like they think i'm incompetent.
     
    I talked to Ian... he said i need to be assertive. That is VERY true. I need to make better decisions so that I can say "this is why this is the best way to do this, you can criticize me all you want, but can you come up with a better way to resolve this? well? didn't think so....!"

    Read a book

    A friend recommended me to read an online Chinese romantic novel. Due to my inability to resist any excuse to not doing work, I started reading it.
     
    It's about a girl who started having a crush on this guy, but the guy can't let go of his ex-girlfriend, who has been dead for a while. And she tried to make the relationship work, but he just couldn't let go. so the story ended up really sad.
     
    I found CHinese people are really good at writing sentimental novels, and they express passion in a completely different way than the western people do. Chinese people are more indirect, like the author would show a woman's love for a man by her not wanting to take the medicine that he gave her just because she wanted to save it and she'd rather be sick than lose the one thing that her lover gave her. And the western people focus on a more physical expression of love and passion, which is a lot more direct.
     
    Last night is when many of the fraternity houses have their begin-of-the-term formal dinners, so there are a lot of dressed up guys and their dates and lots of alcohol was consumed. I was walking home at 12:30am, and this guy who was about to walk pass me suddenly stopped in his track and said to me "catch", i got confused and sorta just stood there. And he threw a rose at me. i got further confused, but he just walked on by. I am prettty sure he was drunk but it was still pretty nice.
     
    hum.... what could that mean??

    要放弃了吗?

    从小学二年级开始, 不知道为什么我就开始想被别人喜欢.
     
    六年级, 我告诉他我喜欢他, 他说他喜欢班上的那个漂亮的女孩.
    初二, 别人告诉他我喜欢他, 他说他喜欢班上漂亮的那个.
     
    没有人喜欢我. 我总结, 应该是因为自己太胖又不够漂亮. 对自己没有任何自信. 天天对镜子说: 怎么那么胖啊!! 怎么办啊!!!
     
    为什么啊? 不是天下每个人都有男朋友的啊? 为什么我就一定要有人喜欢呢? 没人喜欢就这么悲惨吗?
     
    当下各种媒体, 扑天盖地, 每一个故事里都有一个女孩, 一个男孩, 女孩的腰永远是象铅笔一样细, 男孩总是看她一眼就爱的五体投地.
     
    已经太长时间了. 也许不能继续因为没人喜欢而讨厌自己了.
     
    就放弃吧? 东西总是在你不找的时候自己跳出来. 真的吗?
