Wampeters come and wampeters go

i-relish-your-wit:

Arg! If I have to watch one more Dr. Pepper “Ten” commercial, I’m gonna go on a fuckin’ rampage. Seriously, Dr. Pepper!?! You used to be cool and now you’re a jerk.

I know.  I used to LOVE Dr. Pepper.  The last couple years I haven’t really been into soda, but DP was still at the top.  And now I can’t drink it anymore, because I can’t support that bullshit.  This is also why I drink local beer and avoid a lot of popular liquor - pretty much any alcohol that has a tv ad has a tv ad that is offensive and sexist.

OK Cupid date.

So, I’m going out with this guy on Saturday.  He seems nice, and enthusiastic, though I’m already quite sure that even if we hit it off he has no long term potential, which is probably for the best for me at the moment.

I’m sure I’ve changed quite a bit in confidence and attitude after a year in a healthy relationship, but before that, I was pretty terrible at dating, and the thing with Mike happened in kind of a ridiculous way.  So, here goes nothin’, I guess?

And if he’s not intentionally ignoring my facebook message, maybe that guy that had a thing for me almost a year ago, whom I liked back but not enough to break things off with Mike right as it was becoming something just so I could go on a date with him (a decision I don’t regret in the least, but now I’d like to have my cake and eat it too), will get a beer with me, and I’ll have broken in my dating confidence with this OK Cupid guy.

The fashionableness of your body parts.

I read this terrible article today through Feministe, with the description “No matter what your breasts look like, they are not good enough”: “The Return of the Pert Knocker: Could Small Breasts Make a Comeback”

And then Feministing linked and contrasted it with this parody: “The Return of the Petite Prick: Could Small Cocks Make a Comeback”

I’ve only read the first paragraph of the second, and I already recommend the pair, in that order, for a sigh and a laugh.

How soon is too soon?

To start going on dates?  I think going out with cool dudes who are into me would be helpful for my healing process, help me grasp the reality that there really is bound to be someone way more suited to me out there.  But I have very limited experience with breakups and don’t know what is the healthy way for me to move on.  What has worked for you?

In the grand scheme.

My problems are small, they are almost all going away now or will do soon enough, and I am lucky and happy with my life.

I’m okay again.

I had a good day.  I like all my classes, and I test drove a great car and my parents confirmed that it would be a good decision to buy it and it seems perfect.  And it’s close enough to me that if I can’t get a ride, I can bike up there tomorrow afternoon to make my offer.  And then stuff my bike in the back because it’s a hatchback.  And while my foot still hurts, it’s not as bad as before.  And I’ve come to terms with the grade I got in Constitutional Law, even though it was lower than the mean and it was my best class and I definitely should have been capable of higher than the mean if not for my terrible illness.  Everyone says not to beat myself up because I was barely able to stay conscious for the whole exam, and I know, I was just upset about the unfairness of the thing, but I’ve decided it’s not the end of the world and that’ll be fine.

So when the Mike thing is the only real problem, it’s a bit easier to deal with.  But when it’s the car, and the health, and the grades, and him altogether, it seems so pointless.  Everything else is getting better so I can manage.  We talked tonight about the car because I texted wanting to take my bff Indie to the park when I have transportation and everything was okay, I didn’t get upset or anything.  I’ll probably take both this and the “this is the stupidest breakup ever” posts down in a couple of days over embarrassment about the painful introspection, so read and comment now.  I still think it’s stupid, but I can cope with it better now that the other things are working out or diminishing in perceived importance.

Oh and hey, check out the post below.  I don’t think my friend Luis is into me at all but if he was, I would jump his bones in a second.  I was only mostly kidding when I asked him to marry me this morning.  Can’t believe it was only his second proposal of the day.

This amazing, beautiful dude is in my small section (non-law people: that means all my classes this year, big and small).  I don’t think the fact that I’m a total emotional wreck right now is the only reason I burst into tears watching this video.
