Okay well I don't know if the title is the best, I suck at coming up with them.
I was talking to a friend of mine online. We're both trying to get into a more healthy lifestyle and lose some weight. Now, I mentioned once that I was considering looking into a gym/community centre place near me. Now she continually bugs me about checking it out, and today she told me I make too many excuses. Which is funny, because I hear way more excuses from her. She keeps complaining about not being able to exercise in her place, because it shakes when anyone jumps or even walks (it's a trailer), yet she won't go outside for a walk by herself because "the neighbours will think I'm weird" which really is the lamest excuse ever, mainly because she rarely even talks to her neighbours, and it's a frigging walk! It's not like she's doing jumping jacks in the middle of the road. Yet she gives me crap about not doing one thing, which I'm not doing right now because I simply can't afford to do it. I don't have a job right now, so I'm trying to find ways to work out at home, or go for walks and eat better.
It's just aggravating to hear from her "well just go do it, it's not that bad!" when she won't take the same damned advice! She complained about the whole walking thing, and I told her what she tells me "just go do it!" Yet she manages to come up with so many excuses why not, but it's not okay for me to have legit ones (such as money). And even if I'm not employed I still have stuff I need to do during the day, job hunting is a major part of that, and it does take up time, it should, when you're looking for a job you should treat it as a job until you find one. At least that's how I look at it. And yes, my job hunt requires me to be online a lot, that's simply how things in my field work, e-mails are much more appreciated than showing up at a firm/office and giving a resume.
I'm just annoyed that she seems to think she can order me around, but she can go on her merry way and do whatever the heck she wants. It's not like I actually follow her "orders" as we aren't even living in the same town, but it's annoying nontheless.
