Boy it's been a while since I've been here. I fear that it could be quite some time before my next post. I've been meaning to post in here, but I just never seemed to get around to it. Hence the post title. I'm not sure if I can convert this into a semi-daily thing or if it'll just be once in a while (when I have nothing better to do).
Anyways, let's get to business.
In reality:
-reads last post to remember what was already mentioned-
So, to update from the last time:
The girlfriend: We're doing very well. We keep getting quite close and find that we have quite a bit in common. I think my favorite thing about her is that she always has to have music playing in the background. Like, if we're sitting around at home or driving somewhere, music has to be playing. I love that quite a lot, since I'm a huge music person. She has quite a different personality than the ex, but not something that's bad. She's quite stubborn, like me. At this time, we're a month and a half into a relationship. So far, so good. :]
The sister/friend: We hang out quite a bit a work. She's had a rough life and now she's at a point where she's comfortable with things. She describes herself as 'a hermit'. So she kind of just likes to be at home and not submerged in social situations. Which I find somewhat odd, as she's very friendly and outgoing. I often talk to her outside of work, but don't really get much of a responce. We were talking the other day and she was telling me about how much she dislikes clingy, co-dependant people. Which to me, is kind of a subtle hint that maybe I shouldn't smother her. So we talk once every couple of days and all's good. :]
I mean, I can tell she cares about me, but sometimes it's hard to get that feeling across, since I'm usually the one who has to start conversations outside of work. She does however approach me at work, so I believe it's just a matter of location. Sometimes she won't respond to my texts, which often makes me feel like I'm just plain annoying her, but she has warned me that she sleeps a lot and most likely if she doesn't respond, she's probably sleeping.
I had quite a dissappointement this past week, as we were supposed to get together and hang out, but plans changed as her mother needed her for something. This is the second time this year that my plans with friends backfired. I was quite distraught. One of the things I've been most excited about since leaving my ex was hanging out with friends. Both times I tried to plan something, parents came into the feild and plans changed.
I think we're gonna try again sometime next week. I'm also considering hanging out with a friend I've known since Kindergarten. Haven't seen him since atleast this past October, so that would be nice.
The Ex: Things have gotten quite a bit better with my ex and I. She says she's finally over me and doesn't view me as a lost love. She's kind of moved on, herself. She seems quite happy with our friendship as it is now, and we haven't faught for atleast 2 weeks. I guess it's also good that we only talk twice a week.
A couple of my coworkers are completely perplexed by my life. They seemed totally shocked that I A) hang out with my ex, B) my girlfriend is okay with my hanging out with my ex and C) that my ex is okay with my having a girlfriend.
Sometimes, I feel like something out of the twilight zone. I am the furthest thing from a typical male and a lot of people find me peculiar. I don't like nudity or porn, I don't like talking about sex, publicly, I'm not macho or male-esque in any way. Heck, I feel uncomfortable being in a room full of fully clothed women, not to mention I hate being at beaches or at swimming pools (chicks in bikinis! -rolls eyes-)
I'm kind of a girly-guy. I like talking about feelings and stuff. (Who does that?) >_>
I mean, I'm not gay in anymeans. I don't act gay. I don't sound gay. I don't look gay. I just grew up around women. I never had a father figure nor have I ever met my real father. So I just have my mothers example as a role model.
But back to the topic at hand: What's wrong with being friends with your ex girlfriend?
I know there's lots of things that can run through a persons mind but all of those thigns are traits of a typical guy. Which I am not.
I've run out of things to ramble about and it's getting kind of late. I work first thing int he morning, so I think it's about time I bail for the night.
Now, for my obscure quote for the day:
