Keep rollin` rollin` rollin` rollin`.

Wendi says I seem rather upbeat. I guess I am. After everything that’s happened, the fighting, the bickering, the make-up sex, there just reaches a point where I don’t want to be with somebody that doesn’t want to be with me. She doesn’t like things about me. Sharon left a private note once saying that you won’t want to change a thing about the person you marry. Paige wants a boyfriend with higher hygiene than me. She also doesn’t want a boyfriend who wears his hoodie constantly. … She never did really understand my sense of humor, or my way of thinking. It’s easier to let her go when I agree with her on how different we are. I may accept her as she is, but I guess she’d rather not futz around with somebody she knows she ultimately won’t want to be with.

It is as I said to Paige a couple days ago. Unlike times in the past, I have friends who care about me. They will look after me and tell me what I need to hear. It’s nice having that safety net. Much easier going through life when you know people give a shit about you.

I feel like buying a sex toy for myself. Or going to a strip club. Never really had the urge to go, before. Probably won’t. I think it’s disassociative. Feel like doing something for myself.

After the chili we had last night, I feel like making my own. Find a recipe and tweaking it to my tastes.

All my possessions are back in that tiny room, again. I will have to allocate some space in the closet for my clothes. I just have so much! It was a pain packing, this morning. I had all my things in the van that I was bringing to Indiana, and I had to stuff all the things I had in Arlington into there.

It’s kind of relaxing to have it over. I don’t have to stress over us anymore.

I’ve already masturbated, twice. As much as physical pleasure with a partner is nice, I must admit that I miss taking matters into my own hands. I remember talking to Cliff about how I think sex is overrated. He said to me that all guys think that. I laughed. Ah, and we also talked about how we lacked decent male role models. He said how he guessed at what a male should be and tried to be that. I said I knew what a male was and tried to not be that. I’m amused at how we’ve ended up being similar despite opposite approaches.

glad to see you can handle all of this with such an upbeat attitude hun and you will find the person out there that is the perfect match for you and wouldnt ask you to change a damn thing!

I’ve gotten so confused over this by now — and if I’m confused, it has to be even more confusing to actually live it. Are you together, or broken up, or sorta in between? I’ve totally lost track.

October 20, 2004

So you guys did break up after all? Oh my.

My baby says he doesn’t think it’s overrated 😛

This seems to be a good you. I’m liking it. Funny how people go at things completely different ways and ultimately end up in the same point. 🙂

I’m so glad you’re back home. What did the parents say about your hair?

October 20, 2004

You seem to be taking this well. It seems like you have a huge weight lifted off of your shoulders (and no, hun, I am not talking about your hair, lol). I think that you made the right decision and good luck in the future. Enjoy your alone time. 🙂

Well as much as sex is not commonly talked about within my circle of buddies. They couldn’t agree more that as soon as you do it with your girlfriend, masturbation immediately goes to second place. I guess that’s just a matter of choice, some people like to do it on their own, and some, not. You think?

So you’re broken up? Being in a relationship, to me, is accepting differences and deciding on whether or not you are willing to live with the niggly annoyances. It’s impossible to not want to change something about someone … impossible! P.S. I missed the black on red – glad it’s back. Will we be seeing pichers anytime soon?

I’m itching to see your hair. Just so you know.

So, if you guys are broken up, then where are you going to end up living?

*blinks at colors* dude you went all… Evilll

There’s literally a million and a half things I’d change about Tim if I could. There’s also very little that would convince me we don’t need to be together. But I’m glad you’re doing what’s good for you. I just find your expectations for relationships a little baffling.

Wow….so…just like that. No tearful goodbyes described? Or were there any?
