Dear self:

I know you miss your ex. A lot. And it's the friendship you miss most.

Ok, you miss the damned good sex too.

But it really is the friendship, sharing cool things you know they would like, and having conversations.

BUT

After a bottle of wine (AT LEAST) is not when you want to e-mail or text them.

ALSO, the dinner party group you have joined? DO NOT get crushes on the girls. Not the attached ones, and CERTAINLY not the one who is TOTALLY the type you normally go for. Yes, she's inteligent. YES, she's the age you keep dating (except recently). YES, she's goddamed cute and the type you normally go for, but STOP. DO NOT. Yes, you had a bottle of wine (at least) and wanted to pass her your card. You said something lame about her having the e-mail of she wanted to use it. Asshole, stop. Be good. Do you WANT to be invited back?

Yes, you are alone, lonely and crave being around people. Yes, she is fucking attractive. DO NOT. Just don't. Do you fucking hear me?

Girls don't want casual dating and seeing where it ends up. That is where you are for now. Just deal with it, and move the fuck on.

A still very tipsy Self.

It's amazing what music can do to us.

It can cause us to be happy, bouncy energetic...

It can cause us to remember the past, good or bad.

It can reduce us to sobbing piles on the floor.

Music is powerful. Music is life, art more powerful than my photography can ever be.

A special thank you to everyone who I know is musically inclined. You all are amazing.

I'll come back and edit this at some point. Some stuff I agree with, some I VERY MUCH disagree.

( So, there is this relationship assessment... )

How much of a geek do you have to be when you are trying to type T13 and your fingers AUTO TYPE YT1300
