What joy is this ride

The first time on a roller coaster is always fun. The anticipation of what is to come, the excitement of up down around, to climb off feeling a little woozy and then... to have another go at it. :) After a while, even the best rides become too much. Sure, you can forsee what lies ahead and prepare for it but soon the 360° loops and the swooshing down lose its appeal. What you get instead is that sick feeling in your stomach.

And THAT is exactly what i've been going through these few weeks.. or is it months? No... i've not been to any theme parks and NO.. neither am i pregnant. (in case some of u DARE to suggest) :P What i'm experiencing is having too many things going on and being on my toes all the time.

Recently i asked Csu.. or was it Siryn.. see, i can't even remember...anyway, the question i asked was "When did my time became other people's lives? What happened to 'me' time?". Maybe it's because i don't like to say No. There's always this part of me that feels bad when i turn someone down...the nagging thought of "was i selfish to do so?". Where do i draw the line between meeting someone's need and being taken for granted? *sighs*

I'm grateful for good friends who've IM/called/sms-ed me on and off to see how i am or to steal me away for a meal or two. Even some who've exasperated me with their warped ideas have provided a good distraction. Hmm.. sounds like an oxymoron.. but nevermind. :D I'm just glad i have people around to keep me from going over the edge... or as one of them put it 'crazy..i am not. sane..i am in." Hahahaha...

*deep breath* Right, I think i'm ready to go on that roller coaster again... ;P
