Well hello again old friend...

I was talking to a friend at work today about some randomness in my life and she suggested I should put it in my blog ---which reminded me I had a blog!! [I will post the conversation in a separate entry] I was just reading my old 2007 posts and seeing where I left off...

Well...yes, I did get dumped the night before my birthday in 2007 and the morning after a semi-truck backed into my car at a gas station. It was a great birthday. Well, being the smart girl that I am [insert sarcasm here], I ended up back with the same guy up until about February of 2008. From about October-February it wasn't really a relationship --it was obvious it was coming to an end. My aunt died of breast cancer in September of 2008 and it was really really tough on me --he was nice enough to keep his cheating ways hidden until I was in better shape to take it. He decided to make the decision on ending our relationship for me by finding a Japanese girl on a website, cheat on me, and about a year after finding her on the site --I hear they are now engaged. Whoopdy-doo!

After you go back and forth with the same relationship numerous times and realize you've finally had ENOUGH --it's easy to let go. It doesn't hurt to think of the Japanese girl to make you curse the guy either. So...enough about that --here's what came of that: Single Life. For real this time!!

You have two options after a break-up: (1) whore it up!!!!! or (2) focus on yourself

First I thought the first option might be a good one for a little while --I met a guy that I thought was sexy, funny, amazing at an ex-boyfriend's party (an old ex, not the recent one) --wait, did I mention I was mildly drunk? He said something nice, I liked the attention...as they say "yada yada yada." I was so excited to have met this new awesome guy, so we decided to hang out again, minus the alcohol --I wore a super cute outfit that day and met up at his place after work to decide what to do. Well...let's just say that this made me go back to my original idea I had had after the break-up: "NO RELATIONSHIPS OR SEX FOR ONE FULL YEAR!!!"

To sum it up, (1) me dressed super cute --heels and all (2) boy --NOT as cute as I remembered him after 5 beers playing video games sitting on the couch:

me: "so where do you want to go eat?"
him: "well...I went out for lunch...let's just eat here...I have some cereal above the fridge"
me: "oh...."

So I whored it up one last time, of course after finishing my Captain Crunch, and left. That night, for once (ok maybe the 4th time) in my life, I decided to make the right decision.: Focus on myself. I decided that I wouldn't date anyone for a year --no dating, no sex, no deep relationships with the opposite sex. For one full year.

That was February of 2008.
