The One Where Ross is Too Whiney... for JANICE
I've been off my meds for six whole days now - and while I've had a few rough moments, I am happy to report that my real self is shining through.
I smile more. I laugh more. I love more.
That being said, now that my brain isn't so fuzzy, I've been looking back at myself over the past few months and I hate to admit, I feel a little bit like Ross. And not just because Ross is my least favorite Friend.
Have you seen the Friends episode where Ross is going through a tough time after losing his job on account of his RAGE, and then he starts dating JANICE?
And then, at the end, JANICE breaks it off because Ross is too whiney and annoying... for JANICE.
Here's a transcript of the scene:
Up there is a clip of the last half of the episode. If you can't see it, go here.
And can I just say, if my brain is clear enough to figure out how to embed a freaking video? People, I am back. Although, I don't know how to make it show you just the clip I want. Cut me some slack.
Anyway, my point?
I've been self-centered. I've been whiney. I've been a huge Debbie Downer. And maybe not everyone who reads here or follows me on twitter noticed, but I'm pretty sure the people I whined to noticed.
*coughMeghancoughKimcoughMauracoughKellycough*
So I'm here to say, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not being the friend I'd like to be. I'm sorry for being whiney and annoying enough to make JANICE break up with me.
Forgive me?
I promise that if you do, the next time I have the opportunity, the first round's on me.
*wink*
oh, and? the fact that spellcheck wants me to change whiney to whitey makes me laugh. hard.

-------
Janice: You're a very sweet person Ross. Um, unfortunately I don't think I can take another second of you whining!
Ross: Let me make sure I'm hearing this right. You... you're ending this with me because I'm too whiney? So you're saying I've become so whiney that I annoy you--Janice.
Janice: Well, yeah.
Ross: OH... MY... GOD!
Janice: Well, I guess that's two out of three... Joey. Hahahahahahahaha.

No apology necessary here, babe. I never particularly considered it to be whining. But I am SO glad for you that you are feeling better!

Thrilled that you are feeling so well. I consider you adorable like Rachel, not whiney in the least.

Don't worry, I'm not breaking up with you. I didn't really think you were especially whiny either... does THAT mean I'm whiny, too, I wonder? Also, I see that you have excellent taste in reruns. I don't think there is an episode I haven't seen at least three (or twelve) times.

I had to stop taking mine too. I know I told you in the beginning how great I thought they were. How I felt like myself again. That was only during EXTREMELY stressful times. Like in the moment I needed them. The rest of the time, I felt like a zombie. I finally stopped. They help me feel like myself when something horrible happens, but those times are so few and far between that it wasn't worth it in the end. I'm glad you figured out what was best for you! (Those ARE the drugs we're talking about, right?)

You have NOT been whiney. At all.
And I'm always here to listen.
Love you.

*grin* I didn't think you were whiney. No more than other moms venting about their quotidian OMG-my-kids-are-crazy, anyhow.
*hugs*
