"...breaking up is hard to do..."
"...breaking up is hard to do..."
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

I've been kinda depressed and mopey these last few days (hence the poetry outflow http://www.clumsymonkey.net/phpBB2/view ... 563#337563 , but I'm feeling a lot better now. Starting to get over it, moving on mentally and emotionally. Still a bit bummed though, kinda thought there mighta been a future there. I figured since you guys are some of my best friends (well, the best friends I've never actually met anyways) I should drop the scoop here.
*reorganizes brain, re-ups the Reno Effect, and goes on the prowl*
c'mon now son, that whole thing was just the kickoff. the game has just begun, go out there and hit somebody. (and what i mean is go out and whore yourself to the masses and masses of women)
*william wallace speech*
graduates of reno-rico, you know what it's like to have successful interaction with a girly girl. now go out like the hungry pack of men that you are and hunt! the fields are overflowing with hot single ladies. (and a few hot taken ones that are game) grab your bandaleros filled with ammo, and your guns, and bag you a girly girl!!!
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.
Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

yep.
ya know what it is?... time.
I can't even look at my ex yet; I saw her yesterday and I kinda had to look the other way and change directions. It's not that I'm angry at her, I'm just nowhere near to a place where I can see her; much less talk to her, without having all those feelings come bubbling back up to the surface.
Just give it time, and if you want some personal advice from me: write. Write like a fiend. It's the best way to get out all the emotion bubbling up inside of you.

you're right, I know, but I want her back so badly at times it's just, like I said, overpowering. I'm just like you, I can't even be in the same room as her without becoming upset.
I talked to her a little bit recently, and apparently she's still upset and needs more time, just like me though I didn't tell her as such, but we agreed we'd be friends again as soon as we're capable. which is nice, to be sure, but almost completely irrelevent. I'd give ANYTHING to just hold her again and be free of worry. but I won't get too sappy. see, breaking up wasn't hard to do, it's the getting over her that's hell. to speak nothing of just stopping thinking about her.
so do you know of any more immediate remedies than time? like, say, a good solid blow to the back of the head or something involving dynamite?

Just because I am sexy, naked, a bassist, and sporting a top hat doesn't make me Duncan Coutts!
staying away from her as much as possible. eventually you'll see a girl that peeks your interest, and slowly you'll forget about past times. because rule number one in meeting a new girl, never ever bring up your ex. so if you spend time talking and getting to know another, and you don't mention or even bring up the ex, your bound to forget about her.

The Grand Poobah makes some good points; it's gonna be a Hell of a lot harder to get over her if you keep her in your life; atleast for the first little while, anyways. Because everytime you see her, you're gonna have all that stuff you're trying to work through come flowing back ot the surface. So for now, the best advice I can give you is avoidance. I find now that I'm a bit happier when I haven't been around her a while; out of sight, outta mind.
