i can't stand it when people are too tone sensitive, when they think everything you say has an attitude. a single word starts a conflict. today, i'm helping dan with his shopping and then i have to come home and pack. my feelings about going away for six weeks are mixed. part of me is relieved and excited, hoping that this experience will have a positive effect on the relationships and situations outside of UB. but another part of me is scared that something will happen that will hurt my relationships and the people that are close to me. if anything, he'll be just like he was last year. jealous and territorial. i'm not sure if i'd prefer that to the lack of communication and indifference that i fear.
