39 Cent Cheeseburgers & Peter Gray.

1. To be completely honest, when I think about tax season, I primarily think of really cheap cheeseburgers at McDonald's.  The idea that I am responsible, as an adult, to get things like forms and receipts together and organize my income and worth the way the government expects me to upsets me.  If it's so important to you, government, that these things be filed a certain way by a certain date - than YOU should do my taxes for me.

I'm not really all that torn up about this, but it is the 9th of April, and I am just now getting around to filing my extension paperwork so that I can get my taxes done at some point in the next few months.  I need the money that I should be getting back this year.  No doubt about that.  But its the last thing on my mind right now in the mist of everything else that is going on in my life.  And its unaccounted for money, so I am not dying without it right now.  Hence making the process of doing my taxes seem unnecessary.

2. I decided not to date you quite a few months ago.  I had a nice time with you for a minute.  It's one of the reason I was unsure about committing to the relationship I am currently in.  But that's the thing.  I am in another relationship now.  And even if I weren't, I still made a very conscience decision to no longer date you.  I guess it's fine that you persistently tell me how great I look every time you see me.  I do find it a bit unnecessary that you text me to say goodbye every day that you are here in the store, because you wanted to make sure that I know you want me to have a great week. I guess I am just a little confused by your motives.  I am aware that you too are now in a relationship.  So there is nothing to be gained by your attempts at communication with me because I will continue to feel guilty about blowing you off, and you'll continue to feel rejected.

3. There are some people in my life right now that I absolutely adore, and wish I were closer to.  The people that don't know me all that well, but care enough to try and figure me out.  I am blessed these people are around, and some day I will be together enough to figure them out to.  I hope they stick around long enough to learn that its not that I don't care, I just have some massively tall walls up around myself.  And it takes just as much effort for me to peak my head through to see them, as it does to tear them down and get to me. 


Lastly,
Peter Gray. Tag. You're it.
