Oh, how I wish things between us would have worked out. I was falling in love with you and it was so exciting – a feeling I hadn’t had since I was 17. I was so happy I found you.
Life got crazy, you got incredibly busy, and you just didn’t have time for me in your life anymore. I really wish that wasn’t a case. I wish things were different. But, I refuse to make someone a priority when they make me an option. I have too much self-respect for that, no matter how much I cared for you.
In the time since we parted, I have spotted 13 padiddles (you’d be proud), you’ve crossed my mind about 1,988 times, and my heart has skipped a beat every time I heard sirens race down the street.
I have accepted a job offer out West. I’m leaving in about a month. I hope you can find the time in your busy schedule to say goodbye – I would really love it if you could. —The Best Kind of Cheese

I know what a padiddle is. Only 13?
Take a hint, OL: he’s just not that into you.
If he was, he’d MAKE time for you. Boys always do when they genuinely care about you.
…or haven’t gotten any in a while….
(generally speaking)
there are women out there that enjoy idiotic games like padiddle?
how I hate it so….
I know not what these javascript like and dislike buttons are for though it seems at the moment…. nothing.
it’s going to be interesting seeing the quantity they rack up….
thus showing how many are actually lurking out there.
(unless you have to log in to use them… in which case I would think them rather useless)
aah man, there over here too
These thumbs are the twit equivalent of the kids from Shelbyville painting “Springfield Sucks” on the cliff – so “now Springfield will know that they suck”.
I’ve heard of a kadiddle but not a padiddle. I don’t mind the thumbs-a mini popularity contest for comments though the math is a bit skewed. On the Bitch side, there was a comment where 3 of 12 “disliked” and when I pressed dislike, it refreshed to 2 of 8 “disliked”. So not statistically reliable.
it’s too much like facecrack, which so far, i have managed to avoid
what I really don’t like about the new makeover is the
‘click for more’
button.
Just show all the damn comments from the get-go like you used to.
cuz clicking a button is so hard
