And then there are some who get it right

Oh the thought processes of a break up!

I missed him horribly at first, and then I was on a more even keel…and then we spent some time together and it was as if I was back at square one. You know…where you pretend you’re ‘saying goodbye’ when you’re saying ‘hold me closer/let’s pretend this isn’t real’?

And when I started going through the missing him/questions/why are we doing this stuff again I slacked off on keeping in touch online and it felt like the only people online were weirdos.

I got a delightful email from a lovely man today, and sent one back. He asked if we could chat by MSN which I don’t have. He asked if we could chat by phone. I was nervous so stuck to emailing i.m on the site…then after we’d spent most of the morning talking he asked if he could call. I said yes and we had a good half hour chat about everything and nothing. Nice voice. Smart, funny, and really thinks about stuff. Seems on my level with most stuff. I snapped at him because I thought he was making a ‘joke’ about my friend who is transitioning from female to male and he clarified what he was saying which was not what I had thought. What do you know? I can do this stuff. There are decent people out there and I have good conversations with them.

That’s nice. Now I really *should* get down to that essay!
