Dear Diary,

Wow, today was more dramatic than I thought it would be. I knew it would be because the standing tension between me and Jeff, but I didn't think the day would be like this. Ok, let me put it down.

Pre-drama. I see Eliza and Donald, we skip the class were suppose to go to and go and eat. *bad, I know, just spur of the moment* We talk and things seem a-ok. We head back on campus and see Jeff. He has to go to class. We talk and he acts like nothing ever happened.

Drama. He gets out of class and comes to the group. He is ok with me and then wants me to go buy headphones with him. SO I go. We start to talk. The talking turns to agruments. THat turns into him just getting mad and ignoring me before I'm done talking. So at that point I'm steamed. I was trying to get around to saying that I wanted to apologize and he never let me get that far. SO I gave up on him at that point. So I started to let my "dark side" out. I was hurting his feelings subtly and turning the group's opinion of him fast. He was getting very hurt. Some strange thing in me wanted him to get hurt. Let him feel some of it before I stopped it. So things continued until the next drama unfolded.

We're outside and Donald just starts to cry. He's balling his eyes out. VERY unlike him. Jeff went over there and talked to him. I wanted to go there, but at that point, I was mad at JEff. SO I waited awhile then finally approached him. Found out what was bugging him. Apprantly, he is still sad about his mom dying. *happened a couple years ago* Later, he went on to say that our bickering reminded him of his mom and dad. He then asked us to make up. We do. He then tells of some of the stuff that is going on in his life. Jeff then gets a ride from his sister and offers all of us rides. I turn down. Donald goes.

So I'm on campus with Ayumi, Romero and Alex. Alex is who I wanted to stay for. Me and him talked about how he felt about Eliza and stuff. Personally, I think the next drama will be between him and Eliza. He is hurt at her actions. She says he shouldn't try to tell her what she should and shouldn't do. Its just a matter of time before they meet up and the sparks fly.

Later, I get home. I call Jeff cause he asked me to. We don't talk much at that point. I then call Donald. He is happy I called. We talk for maybe 15 minutes and he get's off. After that, Alex called. I talked to him and he was telling even more stuff about him and Eliza. Ray called but I told him to call later. I get off the phone with Alex and then Jeff calls. Me and him talk long and things seem ok. We did start to slightly get into it over what happened, then I told him that I'd leave it in the past.

ALL in all, day turned out good. Though it was kinda hectic at times. I'm glad I'm Jeff's friend again. I don't know if were as close as we were but he's still my best friend. I'm just finding the balance in our friendship. Learned to do that thanks to a certain somebody. *you smiling Diane?* Anyways, tomorrow will also be interesting. Alex and Eliza will most likely meet up. Also, I know I can be open with Donald, and I can find out more about him. Not only all that, but I will have some PICS!!!!!!! Yup, Lindsey got some group photos and is gonna give them to me on disk. NOt everyone, but enough to match some faces with some names. Ok, that is all. ~END~

I am glad things turned out well for you. Just some wisdom from an old woman...Sometimes you have to argue long enough to find out what you are really fighting about. Take care.

Sometimes arguements can be a good thing and straighten out the conflicts that you have. I hope this is what happens with you and Jeff. I'm sure looking forward to seeing those pictures, hope you are planning to enter a few into your diary.

Yes, I am. However, getting your balance in friendships sometimes means taking back some of your balance. You've given a lot to Jeff, and I didn't want to say anything before, but I think it's time to test this friendship and put some limits on it.

So he can't spend any more money on you. Well, okay then. If that's the way it is then just agree to not spend money on each other. Each pays for their own. Doesn't mean you can't keep giving him time or an ear, or even gifts. It just means things are a little more fair.

Frankly it isn't right for him to expect you to do things for him. I'm still glad you've worked things out, but this friendship still has some growing to do.

>^..^<

P.S. Watch out for that dark side. It bites back.
