Action and Reaction

As any person who went to school knows, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. I would say this is especially true for me. The more I am pushed to do something,  the more I want to do the opposite. For example, this weekend I went to NY for my bday, which is a post in and of itself, and I got there by train with one of my friends. We spent most of the ride chatting, but there were 2 things she would not stop pushing me on: my job and boys. For my job, I have always said that I will take the foreign service exam once I get closer to 30, because I figure by that point I will know whether or not I want to travel or stay in DC, and hopefully I will have changed jobs within the Dept or gov, and know if I am happy or not. I think this makes sense. She does not. She just kept pushing and pushing me about taking the test now and wouldn't let up. I wanted to tell her to stop talking, but I didn't want to be mean. Finally I managed to change the subject, but I swear, she made me want to put the test off another 5 years just to spite her. The other issue is that apparently she has been talking with her bf and they seem to think that I should sign up for jdate. I have already considered it and think I am going to do it. But when I do, it will be my decision. She kept talking about setting up my profile and and saying I needed to get on now, making me want to put it off another year. Once again, that push me and I'll push back was making me want to be super bitchy and respond in a not so nice way, but since it was my birthday, I decided to let it go. But seriously, how do you know me and not know to stop pushing me? Ugh. Happy freaking birthday to me.
