“if i only could, i surely would”

Yesterday the coffee machine broke for good, it has been acting funny since the day the warranty ran out because it was electronic and must have been programmed to, aside from that when I went to pour the water in, it ALL came straight back out. I don’t know you’d think I’d have stopped pouring the water but I didn’t so basically twelve cups of water covered my kitchen floor [it needed to be cleaned anyway] and the water was headed for the living room and the REAL guitars are sort of right under there, anyway lots of bloody water was all over the bloody place.

Worst thing is that it was a wedding gift from Sarah and Jack, AND we know at LEAST three other couples MINIMUM who have the exact machine, not only does it work for them but they RAVE about it.

We knew it was going to go so we had decided that because the machine was fancy that we were going to go back to the cheapest coffee maker we could find. I bought one yesterday makes twelve pots, SUCKS it is white but it was twenty four dollars. It will probably last us fifteen years.

If only I had known that this was just the beginning.

I then got all bent out of shape over untagged photos on Facebook. Reason being, around the beginning of September Adam and I suffered the loss of a friend but it wasn’t just any loss, it was one of those complicated everyone and their mother [literally] was somehow forced into the situation and it wasn’t just drama it was on mine and Adam’s end, life altering. I have yet to ever blog about it until this very minute and to a lot of readers I am sure this is very wtf is she talking about? But although I know in many ways I should be over it all and have moved on it brings up many other things that I hate about myself such as problems with interpersonal relationships and women, jealously, as well as my blatant and over the top issues with feeling left out. The last couple months have been challenging to me in so many ways I can not even begin to explain. What happened yesterday over the untagged photos has happened in an inappropriate way since the whole ‘incident’ as I sometimes call it happened just in different ways but yesterday it got to me because I can’t take it anymore, but yet letting the WHOLE thing go when you know the WHOLE story and very, very few people do is not as easily said as done. Of course I talk about this in therapy and my therapist insists considering the severity of the situation that when I lose it the odd time that is not only normal but HOLY Corinna, it is not the end of the world. But to me it feels like it is, because in some regards I have handled the shit that happened better than I thought I was capable of dealing with anything but in others, the silliest thing will happen and I feel like it happened yesterday and all the trust I’ve had no choice but to put in people just flies out the window and my insecure side comes out and I FLIP and make a serious fool of myself.

I spent yesterday beating myself up mentally because I know what Adam and I did was right, I know the stuff written and said about me is not true. But part of the problem with taking the higher road and not saying a word about it until now and not asking what was said to A LOT of people about me or written to them even my father! [twice, and even there I only read one of the emails and it is the only one I have read sent by she who shall not be named to ANYONE] Some days I wish I did ask, some days I wish I did know, but that goes against all the learning I’m doing with my shrink and all that I have learned from the whole situation in general. I have always had issues with trust and the last couple months have been like stepping on eggshells trying to figure out who my real friends are without causing any triangle situations.

When I wrote this post here I meant every word, I just think the part about the stuff I was being avoidant of is starting to bite me in the ass and this is a problem I MUST address because in many other facets of my life I do this, which is harbor, even I find it strange because in some ways I am so open and very DON’T MESS WITH ME but then when it comes to people I genuinely care about I freeze and act like a five year old and everything comes out way after the fact and generally gets the response of “I was over that ages ago”, ya no shit I should have been too! I’m, NEWS FLASH, BIG SURPRISE, not perfect and even though on one hand I am seriously happy right now on the other side, remember I’m a Gemini, I’m having a tough time and since that tough time began I have not felt as comfortable blogging when I’m down and really depressed and yesterday it got to me in a big way. So big in fact that that I deleted myself off of everything, Twitter, MyBlogLog and Blogcatalog so if you would be so kind as to click the links and re-ad me that would be much appreciated.

    I bet in some way it takes some of the load off and aids in the healing. Hope you are doing well. Everything is easier said than done so I won’t offer any advise as you are doing th ebest you can! Cheers

    We have more in common than I realized–and even when you think you’re not really opening up about stuff, you’re doing a much better job than I ever have.

    And this is funny–*I* have a she-who-will-not-be-named too! I’m guessing not the same one, though. hehe (but wouldn’t that be BIZARRE??)

    I’m sorry you’ve been dealing with bad shit, but you can lean on us. :)

    I’m sorry about the coffee pot, which I think me and TSO also have (wedding gift) and love. And I’m really sorry to hear that you and Adam are going through, and have been going through a really rough time. Just continue to be there for one another. Things will get better. BUT, in terms of the loss of anyone important in your life, I never think anyone should “just get over it and move on”. Some things will never be forgotten or can ever be just gotten over. Take your time, mourn. Only you know how long that will take.

    thanks kindly, you guys are always great :)

    yes, funky you are one of the couples and we were just over at another couples place who have it and LOVE it, but it obviously hates us :P

    thanks for getting all the simon & garfunkel songs stuck in my head.

    sorry shit keeps resurfacing. it’s really quite ridiculous.

    i’m waiting patiently for my monkey :)

  6. Rhonda Says:

    Do you think the other couples that share the same coffee pot, use it all day or just once in the morning? you never did mention that :)

  7. gusgreeper Says:

    it is the sort of pot that you can use all day or something or it was… it has a timers and would shut itself off after one and a half hours. ok ok i get it i drink too much coffee or we do :P

    We’ve had the same cheap coffee machine for years and it’s still going strong. I had 3 of them at work that all broke after a few months.

    My parents had to replace their coffee machine today it just stopped working and they hadn’t had it long. My brother has the same brand as them and his still works.

    Who knows what it is with these coffee machines.

    I deleted all my details and deactivated my facebook account because it was adding everyone in my gmail as friends and freaking me out. I feel kinda lonely without it but I’m not going back to it. I want to know why you can’t delete a facebook account.. that’s kinda dodgy.

    I hope you work out some of that stuff that’s bothering you and stop beating yourself up xoxo

    I am not on Facebook precisely because I foresee lots of trouble using it. My social relationships are stronger precisely because I don’t use FB.

    Keep up the good work, Corinna

    now i feel a lot better about putting the frozen veg into the cupboard instead of the freezer. and chucking the cheese grater away.

    as to the rest, letting go is always easier said than done and i relate to holding on for too long. it’s a skill that can be learned but it’s tough. but you’ve done so much already, it’ll happen, im betting :)

    i hate that you can’t DELETE a fb account. it’s just not ok. “deactivate” and all your stuff is saved and now i have 100’s of “friends” of whom many I would like to remove. it’s creepy in a sense. maybe i’m just paranoid, God knows I am. sorry to read about all this….its’ troublesome and I’m not 100% on the facts/issues, but always remember my dear, that you are an amazing girl and people who try to hurt people ultimately in the end are only hurting themselves. peace. xo
