You hurt me so badly. After 2 years of trying to make things work between us, even though we had our difference, I decided that was enough. Ya, I made the decision, but I was also the one putting in all the effort. Did I have regrets? Of course. Did I love you totally? Yes. But I couldn’t trust you for so many reasons… and we were just too different in the end. It ended badly. It was a mess. It tore us apart, hurt our friends, made us both move away and change jobs. Mess. I hated you for what you did to me, what you put me through and that was the end of it.
Now it’s been 8 months and there’s still that crazy connection. There’s no chance that there would ever be anything again, but once in a while, there’s something in the news or some mutual friend has a story that we know the other would appreciate, so I let my guard down. And once again, you act like a supreme asshole when I’m just trying to be nice back.
So fuck you. I’m not doing this. I’m in a much better place in my life and as much as I miss our talks, I don’t need this bullshit. I’m healthy, independent, and happy.
Have a nice life. Ya, I miss the connection, but I can find it elsewhere. I don’t miss the manipulation. —In a better head-space

Shut up. Move on finally.
There is too much resolve and not enough anger in this post! I am not ok with this.
Next!
Fat, it sounds like that’s what’s potentially going on…
I’ve lost count of the breakups now… I’m sure we’ve hit 25 by now though.
plenty of cheese slices out there. have at.
Where do these bitches come from? A psychologist’s office?
I wasn’t quite sure what your avatar was, and clicked on it to enlarge it, and I lol’ed. I am starting to like you very much Parasailing.
Awwwww shucks, you’re pretty kewl yourself NTH ;D
XD Thanks Parasailing, but Das Ivan would disagree with you that I am “pretty kewl”, because I just terrorized his brain with something very, very disturbing.
You’re hella kule Newt, my terrorized brain be damned.
I think the attempt to terrorize “Ivan the Terrible” Иван Грозный backfired. I can’t shake that image off my head now.
If you REALLY want to terrorize him, get him to watch Brüno. After seeing that, I will never be shocked by anything again … completely desensitized.
He has nice legs and looks great in short shorts.
ANOTHER SUCKER.
Summer brings out all the wet fuckers. Get a grip, around the neck of a Keiths preferably.
C,mon Para didn’t you just love his interview mit HARREEESON FO-ORD?
And Newt, pix of old Japanese ladies with phallic lollys is like using tactical nuclear weapons. Everybody loses.
i’m not that terrible, am i? 🙁

I trump your keiths with a stella.

Red Stripe – dot be some good beer, mon.
I see your red stripe and heineken… and would like to add a smithwhicks to the mix, please.
this is fun, but it’s making me really thirsty…a big can of fosters slammed down on the table
Just got back from the lake, cracking open my first MGD of the day, repairing to the balcony with a really cool new book about how naval power created the glory that was Athens, listening to the affectionate gurgling of corbie parents and watching airliner contrails lazily etch their way across an azure sky. For all my bitch buddies laboring at the coal face, I’m thinkin’ of ya. >: )
hey you’re on the lam this week, i forgot…too much inward thinking this past week. happy days are here again…salut to you commander^^
Glad to hear it Painey. You had me worried yesterday. Have you been doing the Spetsnaz vigilante thing again? >; ) Don’t incriminate yourself with an answer. Did the lads have a nice trip?
i wish i had gone all bat shit crazy, this has been hanging over me for a year. the lads had a grey’t time but i missed them, so did the critters^^
geez Ivan, do you ever work?
This is the second week of vacation AND sick time you’ve taken… you’ve barely done anything in the last month except increase your post count two-fold.
and that is a very good thing for us…take as much vacation as you want ivan^^
yes please, entertain me while I work oh-so-hard. But I have a 5 day weekend coming up myself. Bring on 430!!
Being a screwy old lifer with over 2 decades of loyal (hah-hah) service under my belt I get 5 weeks per annum. When I’m actually on the job I’ve perfected the art of stalking around the Dunder-Mifflin warehouse with a clipboard and serious expression on my face. Fools the higher-ups every time. Posting here is the only thing that makes sense anymore. How effed up is dat?
Oh and for those who might be considering it. Beer-Mocha Frappuchino is far better in concept than execution.
Get a room you guys! Hey Maude, how about a LTWWB chat for these types of things? Any possibility of something like that? Or threaded messages or something like that?
we already have a room q…don’t like it, there is an exit door
There is no button to shut off “total” love, only a bar all others must now rise to. The sooner you cut this person out of your daily life entirely the sooner you’ll feel better. You’ll never stop loving a person you’ve “totally” loved so stop trying r expecting to “get over” them. Best to know you loved someone then move on, stop thinking about them, on purpose even! You can’t go back.
