It is silly, I guess, but it hurts my feelings that he doesn't say girlfriend.
Well, he may be one of those people who think that the words "boyfriend" and "girlfriend" are sort of silly. As one of those people, I can say that I probably introduced Tom as my friend about 90% of the time for almost 2 years, until I was able to introduce him as my fiance.
You're not a bad girlfriend at all, and if it bothers you, maybe bring it up (when you are not currently annoyed about it) and tell him you know it's silly, but...
and {askye} God, what a fucking sucktastic run you've been having. Hang in there though. It makes me relieved that I don't have to drive; when I do, lately, I've been so mega stressed about it (as with most things). I know I'd get in an accident if I were driving regularly.
I'm so sorry things are continuing to be hard at work. You're in my thoughts!

I guess the words are silly, but I like them anyway. I would rather him just say "This is Sarah" than "This is my friend Sarah" if he is uncomfortable saying girlfriend. I don't know why. The latter just bothers me.

Too late.
Too late.
Heh. I am sure y'all will get through it! perhaps he needed a bit of an eyeopener?

Not a bad girlfriend at all. It would hurt my feelings, too.
And, exactly what Nora said. All of it.
Hey, ChiKat, congrats on getting through the semester, you paper-writing FIEND!
I took a nice long lunch break which did wonders for my sanity, but not so much for my motivation. la la la...
Punctuation to askye, that is rough stuff to deal with. Hang in there.
In me news, I just had a weird experience. I feel like I had a logjam break in my head. I've felt low and depressed for ages and I was just having a good conversation about oldtime soccer with a friend/colleague and I went off to get coffee feeling really upbeat, enthusiastic and positive for no reason, like a load had lifted off my shoulders. No idea where this has come from, but I'm going to try to hold onto it.
Much punctuation, Askye. Did I tell you I wore the socks you gave me while I was in labor? Well, the early part. After that, it was too warm in my body for socks. But I wore them and they made me smile.

Awesome!! Good luck with that!

Yay!!
My office is weird, but fun. We just hooked up an iPod to some speakers so we could jam out to Neil Diamond for awhile.
Thanks, Nora and ChiKat!

Yikes, way way too much. Good for you for getting through that.
so we could jam out to Neil Diamond for awhile.
Yup, weird fun. I'm listening to Ella and Louis doing "I won't dance". Must be Friday afternoon or something.
