Why did I break up with her the day before Valentine's?

Hopefully, it will result in a healthy decrease in expenses.

So you can go get rebound nooky from some lonely broad in a bar?

posted by jonmc 13 February | 19:51

I'd already made/purchased the gifts, wendell.

And, I'm woefully underage, jon.

I got served in a bar for the first time at 16, dude. (I didn't get any nooky till almost 3 years later and she was someone else's girlfriend, but that's beside the point). If you look to young, go hang with the gang drinking Electric Slurpees at the 7-11 and tell your tale of woe. Chicks eat that shit up, dude.

You made gifts? What did you make? How sweet.

I think I'd rather stay at home and eat the chocolates I'd bought her. *sigh* There's always liquor readily available in the cabinet here.

Would you not have felt worse doing it on Valentine's day. Would you have felt even worse if you had lied through Valentine's day and done it the day after?

I suppose you could have not said anything and just acted detached tomorrow. That might have been a big clue, but also pretty passive agressive, so I'd say what you did was fine.

I'd made her this notebook full of collages/notes/pictures on each page. It was entitled "A Journal of Us."

Get the scanner warmed up and let's dissect.

posted by furtive 13 February | 20:02

No scanner, but the note on the front page read-
"So I felt all of a sudden like I had to write to you, or reach out to you somehow, and I got scared, like you weren't with me all of a sudden. And somehow, that turned into this book. And I don't know if it will ever get finished. But oh, I have ideas. I love you so damn much."

And yeah, I finished it. All 32 pages.

So she's free tomorrow? Can I get digits?

I KID!

Buck up - you've got many more years to hook up with lots of other people unlike some washed up old fart like me.

posted by porpoise 13 February | 20:20

terrapin, unless you happen to be a queer chick, I don't think she'd be too interested. *grin*

Ahh, I just need to get my mind off it, I think.

Ouch. Been there a few times, brothaman.

*passes 40 to jaksemas*

Hi. Jonmc? Jaksemas isn't a bro, you drunk ho.

I'm not a queer chick but I play one on TV.

posted by loquacious 13 February | 20:42

Close enough, loquacious. Just make sure the wig's on snug and all. And don't go past second base.

posted by jaksemas 13 February | 20:43

Oh, sorry. Sympathies just the same.

posted by jonmc 13 February | 20:44

Hey, I can be one of the guys. My gender's very... flexible.

posted by jaksemas 13 February | 20:45

OK, let's pee our names in the snow!

posted by jonmc 13 February | 20:47

Interestingly enough, I have mastered the art of peeing standing up!

*puts on winter coat and hat* Let's go!

posted by jaksemas 13 February | 20:48

Ha! and jaksemas, here's some great breakup music from before you were born, but it'll still suit the mood. Hope it serves you well:

Derek & the Dominos - I Looked Away

Superb song choice, Jon.

posted by LarryC 13 February | 21:09

Ack! Clitsicles!

*runs*

Actually, that sounds like a Zappa song title. Don't eat the yellow clitsicles!

posted by loquacious 13 February | 21:36

Okay wait. Jaksemas is a girl?

I'm confused.

posted by mudpuppie 13 February | 21:56

Pup: yes

posted by nomis 13 February | 22:31

Thanks, nomis. I can always count on you.

posted by mudpuppie 14 February | 02:37

Awww, that's rough, (((jaksemas))). Every other thread seems to be a break-up thread. *sniff*
