¿Uncalled for or Overly Dramatic?

Well, it's been almost 4 weeks since my last post. What's new? I started a second job at Wal-Mart as a cashier. The job isn't as hard as I thought it would be. Eric: "Hello, how are you?" Customer: "Fine thanks. You?" Eric: "I'm doing well, thank you." Beep, beep, beep . . . Eric: "Your total is blah-blah-blah" That's pretty much how my day goes (or should I say my nights).

It's a cool job, meet some interesting people, and others from the Rez that I never knew exisited. The pay is decent enough I suppose, for a second job anyway. I get home around 12 ish and fall right too sleep. The first week on the job was hell. I am not use to standing for 5+ hours. Now, I can handle it. I guess I through my body into shock.

Other than that, that's about the greast news I have . . .

Except for what happened today between myself and G. What happened can only be discribed as odd. We were talking well. We were saying how much we loved one another, etc., all that stuff couples do when they see/talk with each other. Well, somehow the conversation turned back to the Spanish Basketball team's photo (the one where they are doing slanted eyes.) G brought up the past conversation we had about the photo. Well, G started saying something new about it, how the American specktators were wearing Chinese outfights and those pointed hats, typical in all Chinese films by American producers. Well, G went on to say how what I said in the past about wearing such clothing would be more horrible than what the Spanish did in that photo.

I'm not sure what it was, but I took offense to this. First of all, I didn't mean it in the context G said it. Secondly, how dare G use what I said in a mocking manner toward me. It wasn't that G used my words against me it was that G used them jokingly, like it was nothing. Perhaps to G it was nothing, but I felt so betrayed, so disrespected and so belittled.

Even right now I feel so upset, I can't fully explain how and why I am upset. There are so many words and feelings running through my mind right now that I can't even think straight (no pun intended for those who know me.)

So, was it uncalled for or overly dramatic?
