It was difficult at first (It was only a few months ago that we found out it had been going on for a year) but I guess I've gotten used to being numb about it. About alot of things really... Can't get hurt if you can't feel the hurt.

I think I just rewound about six years of my life. I just ran into my ex girlfriend in a Wellesley dining hall. All of my friends were in class, so I was sitting alone. She had a table full of people around here.

I was honestly upset.

Excuse me while I go remember how to think like a grown up.

Don't feel bad, I'm 30 and still have issues with thinking like a grown person, especially when it comes to an ex. I run into my ex lady pretty often and it's okay if she's alone but when she's with mutual friends I am reduced to 3rd grade thinking. My thoughts are something like this - How dare she hang out with mutual friend! I'm never going to talk to mutual friend again! Mutual friend was my friend first! I always knew mutual friend liked my lady! Well guess what mutual friend, my lady never thought you were attractive and that's because you're not! My ex is doing this on purpose! Ugggg! Screw em!

I did not act on these thoughts thank goodness. I held it together and acted (or pretended to be) a grown up. I have to "fake it til I make it" sometimes.

For me, it's:

"Scurvy sucks! Eat a damn orange already! Tic-Tacs don't count!"
"You don't need clothes to look awesome as long as you have snazzy neckwear!"
"The LBD is the perfect garment for every woman, even if you look like a foot!"
"Remember: Tennis balls to the head are painful! Leave them on the ground next time!" and, of course,
"STEVIE NICKS. GODDAMN."

JTIS.

this is perfect. i never really analyzed my sig that much. that's frightening, considering i analyze everything else in my life. it's just a collection of some of my favorite things

Oh honey. Just be careful with that. I do that a lot - if something is messing with me and I don't feel equipped to deal with it at that particular moment, I pack it up in a mental cardboard box and promise myself I will come back to it later when I am able to deal. Of course, I never do, so my mind's warehouse is totally overflowing with random f*ckery, and I'm pretty sure that's why my inner monologue closely resembles the Bataan Death March.

Hey, when you remember how to think like a grown-up, can you tell me how to do it? I haven't figured that one out yet.

Also, I understand that feeling. When I break up with someone, it's like I think they should immediately cease to exist. Like, how dare they do other things now? Where I can see them? Perhaps with other people I know? Even if I met those other people through that person and they were all friends first?

It doesn't happen all the time and I'm completely aware it's ridiculous, even when I'm in the middle of having the thoughts, but there it is anyhow. The best part is that I will do it even when I have absolutely no desire to ever be with that person again. I'm pretty sure that means I'm terribly conceited or something.

I just wanted you to know I'd noticed you had all those things in your sig pic. I noticed it real hard.

For everyone having life issues, here's an uplifting song:



All together now, "Maybe you and I will get it together!"

Also, have I mentioned lately that I'm SO excited for the Grinderman show in November that I can barely stand it? Because I totally am. JTIS.

I'm used to it, unfortunately. I seem to have become a champion Bottler over the last few years. Just cork it up and put it on the shelf in my own little "warehouse". I tried a couple of times to talk to people on the outside world, but they just made me see that it just wasn't worth it in the end. They turned out not to be trustworthy. So I just don't talk about it anymore and just simply take my bad weather out on myself in unhealthy fashions. Shiny Happy Bee. That's me *Thumbs up and fake smile*. Maybe it's one of the reasons I like Fleetwood Mac so much. Their **** distracts from my ****, so to speak lol.

Annie's right I have no room to talk but bottling it up is not good. I turned to the internet to get me through my mum and dad's divorce, two friends dying and the likes and now I'm at a stage where I only wake up in a morning to see Debbie Harry's face and make sure she's okay, the Blondie gig the night before went well etc etc. I don't want to think that anyone else is feeling like I am because it upsets me, no matter who they are. I'm not expecting you to trust me straight away because that could be considered weird but if you want to PM me, I'm more than likely to always be here for a chat, college has installed free wi-fi for errywun now so I'll still be on through the day
