Yeah.

It’s hard because I have no control. It’s all him. I want to blame myself because that’s simpler for me to accept and to get over, in ways, because I can change myself and become better. But it’s not my fault. It’s easier when things are my fault. I think, by being really scrappy about it, and confronting him a couple weeks ago, I was trying to make it my fault. But I still feel like fighting for it even though he’s expressed that he wants nothing right now (BUT WHY). How do you make something stop ripping you to shreds inside?

I don’t know, I don’t know, but it just is. It’s real. Cherish this. But in all honesty, I’m happy for you, you deserve this, this happiness.

I hope so! My instinct is still to doubt, though. Half of me says TRUST and the other says DOUBT. But that’s just life, right?

This is so perfect. I am so happy for you!

It’s crazy right! I can’t even make this shit up. I’m not that good.

YOU ARE THE SWAN QUEEN (AT MY FRIENDS HOUSE DRINKING HER WINE)

WHY ARENT MY PHOTO REPLIES WORKING!

UGH WHAT PHOTO REPLY DID YOU SEND ME, I MUST KNOW.

And while I may not be the Swan Queen, I might just be the Pizza Queen. Or Pesto Princess. I’d accept either.

HERO. Living vicariously through you, Pam. Sam. Sampam. Seriously can’t stop smiling, I’m so effing happy for you and so effing jealous, it’s confusing.

Ugh, I don’t even know, Elaine. I don’t even want to trust it or myself, it seems way too good to even be true. How can that be real?!

Oh my God, Sam. This quote. This quote. High school me highlighted this, copied this onto various scraps of paper to commit to memory…I love that last line. That last line is about me too.

I know. I know. Me too. 100%

There have been so many “green and strong” moments yesterday and today… ugh.

Elaine is my inspiration for posting the stories about Office Jim (which is a code-name, like in her own anecdotes) … and Amber is my constant companion throughout the day via gchat, helping me compose myself and proof-reading my banter, in today’s case.

Oh yeah, Jim and I emailed back and forth this afternoon. He initiated this, too, and I do take it to be flirting. (He also confirmed that he did indeed call me Liz Lemon this morning, so that’s something)

I must share this email dialogue because it’s priceless to me.

teaforonesvp replied to your post: Someone come get pizza with me?

MOI.

UGH, YES. E, I constantly daydream about us hanging out. I believe we’ve discussed this before. I think we’d always have an excellent time because we have similar tastes, and if we went anywhere together we’d be pretty fast in agreeing whether or not it was worth our time, and if it wasn’t we’d just go get some frozen yogurt or something and maybe watch a film and be so happy.

I love you guys too much.

I do NOT even know what to say to this numbnuts but he, of all people, has the audacity to call YOU immature and selfish and all those other things. Is he KIDDING? Go cry to mommy, asshole. And also I love you.

Is there any way you can move out? This whole thing sounds like a nightmare.

I’m stuck for about 6-8 weeks at least.

After I made the post, he knocked on my door to tell me that dinner was ready — we were fighting while he made baked manicotti. And by “fighting” I mean having a very level-headed sounding discussion that was actually the equivalent of an emotional fist-fight.

Anyway, I went out, said I wasn’t hungry (because how could I be), and proceeded to think outloud about getting my last bookshelf out of his room. “You don’t have to do that” he said, to which I replied, “You said you want it to be over. It can’t be over while my Harry Potter books are still in your room.”

This made both of us laugh and he started apologizing profusely.

So I guess now that we’ve had this emotional fist-fight and gotten out all of our nastiness, we can be nice to each other until I move out.

Boo-urns. Don’t regret…at least you took the initiative and went after something! You’re my hero.

I don’t regret what I did, I just regret that my awesome actions were wasted, haha.

Love you ladies :)

Seduce him. Seduce him with your nerdiness. I’m sure he’d dig it.

WHY DO YOU HAVE THE PERFECT DATE OMG THAT SOUNDS SO LOVELY. BUT UM NOW YOU GO OUT AGAIN. DINNER.

Elaine, of course you can live vicariously through me. This is an experiment in dating and I am reporting all of my findings to tumblr!

tracemo, I’m cautiously optimistic on the jerkface front… either way, I don’t plan on getting too invested so I should be safe.

Ian… of course you would jump right to the seducing. I don’t think my nerdiness is going to win this one over, but my random music knowledge might. He seemed impressed how much I knew about Broken Bells - “The High Road” came on in the car and he was like “I love this song!” and I was like, “oh yeah me too, James Mercer is the lead singer of The Shins and he’s great, so’s Danger Mouse, he’s the guy from Gnarls Barkley who isn’t Cee Lo” and he was like “what no way that’s so cool!”

Sarah, we might still be doing coffee tomorrow but he has to see what’s up during the day. We might have an evening of coffee and/or football, or do nothing, depending. Who knows.
