allisonjenna asked: I was just thinking about how I wish I could reply to one of your messages. Just want to say, DESTROY that cell phone plan! I don't know you, but I hope you're okay.
I just enabled the “Ask” feature if you’d ever like to ask any questions of me (or tell me to get it together already!). You can safely assume very little is off-limits since I already share WAY too much here about my personal life! :)

Remind me on my way home to stop at AT&T and end Nick and I’s family share plan.
You’ll have to remind me, maybe even pressure me a little bit, because it’s the last last last connection between us. It’s the only thing that still says “We exist.”
But we - Nick and I - don’t. The other day he even made the petty effort to untag himself in any and all...

Happy 3 Month Anniversary!
Yesterday marked the 3 month anniversary of getting my ass dumped. Here is what I have learned since that fateful night:
1. That stupid crap about “time healing all wounds” that everyone kept telling me? Totally true! I thought I would be broken forever but lo’ and behold, here I am: a whole person. But don’t be passive with this time - use it to take care of you, grieve,...
FYI
I also Tumblr here.
Ya know, in case you’re interested in knowing the less neurotic and less weepy side of me.
Yesterday a homeless man told me I looked...
I think I may be starved for affection.

The Kinds of People You Can Date « Thought Catalo →
You can date someone in the summertime when it’s too hot to have rules. This person might not make sense in February when you’re wearing thick coats and eating too much, but they’ll fit in nicely at a Fourth of July barbecue or a pool party…

I am done putting myself through the wringer.
I am tired of putting myself in no-win situations.
I am frustrated that I put my heart and soul into something that ended without a fighting chance.
I am disappointed in myself that I care that no one loves me. I am annoyed that it matters to me.
I am really really angry that I am so fixated on my appearance right now. I know there are much bigger things in this world to be concerned about but...

This evening I walked into Powell’s to pick up the next John Fante novel on my list. I got to the F section at the same time as another gentleman. He reached for the Fante book I just finished as I reached for the one next to it.
But this “meet cute” was quickly ruined when I said something to the effect of how brilliant I thought it was and he looked at me, sneered and walked...

I really truly must be naive.
Did you know grown men sometimes don’t call when they say they will? Anecdotally I know that this happens but I kind of assumed it just happens on sitcoms. I underestimated that it is apparently a very common dating thing and that it actually happens to very good normal people in every day life. Like me and most of my girlfriends who chuckle sympathetically at...

I Must Believe (A List from a Recovering...
When I look back on my life it will be one that was filled with love. I don’t know when, how or with whom but I know it will have been transformative to my life
I can be content with the love of my friends and family. Their love will sustain me when no other love is present and even when it is
I will never again accept love without passion
There are good and decent people deserving of...

Dear Ex,
I’m sorry you weren’t able to watch Dr. Who Season 7 this weekend. You see, when I said I was going to put the Netflix discs in the mail the next day (over a week ago), I was lying.
I mean, not lying like how you lied to me about breaking up with me to “be alone” and to “sort out your life outside of a relationship.” No, my lie had at least the...

I like-like you.
It occurs to me how funny it is to be so afraid to tell someone I like them.
I can think of all the times I have said mean things to other people: I’ve told a few people I didn’t like them. I’ve insulted people. I’ve told people their work isn’t good enough and it needs to be better. These were not my finest moments, but I have done those things and without a lot of...
Just got a text from Bar that says he is sick and dinner plans will have to be postponed.
Maybe a blow off, maybe not. At least he communicated.
I’m going out with friends tonight instead and I actually am more excited for that. We’re going to get some bomb carnitas and drink some Mexican beers. Muy bueno!

I had a spontaneous date last night. I was supposed to go out with Bar on Thursday but it started snowing unexpectedly Tuesday night. So he texted me “Let’s go sledding.”
You don’t say no to that - so I said yes. We met up and determined there was not enough snow for sledding but we could instead walk around campus. The campus was blanketed in snow and everything was still...

Ok, so I may not be 100% fine that he is dating again.
I know it is MY OWN FAULT for looking at his Tumblr and Facebook page but c’mon, that’s what any normal person would do with an ex, right?
Today he posted a picture of a heart someone (him? her?) doodled on a piece of notebook paper.
Yesterday it was some cryptic lovey message using only the pronoun “she.”
Then...

In other news, I have a date on Thursday. My friend and I have nicknamed him Bar because, like where all of history’s greatest romances began, that’s where I met him. He has his life together, my friends think he is handsome (he’s not my go-to type - too muscularly), he bested me at Seinfeld trivia and he texted me 4 minutes after midnight on New Years’. I thought that was...

E-Mail from the Ex.

Hahahahaha. Yeah, sure. I haven’t used Netflix in months because I’ve...
