All emo today...
This was originally going to be an angry, drama-filled post. But sitting on a rock on the Tower trail at Sleeping Giant State Park listening to Miles Davis, I realized two things. First of all, angry drama serves no purpose. (I should know this, I've been friends with Thom for about 20 years.) Second of all, there's no reason for me to be all emo, since I should be looking at the good things that have come out of the last two months. So:
Carolyn: Thank you for giving me the courage and the excuse to finally take my life by the reins and stop living for everyone else. The month that we were together was wonderful, even if it ended the way it did. I'm sorry that I turned out to not be what you thought I should be, but that goes both ways. Hopefully, if nothing else, I can take some lessons from our relationship, and I certainly don't regret any of it in the slightest.
Jennifer: Thank you for continuing to be an amazing friend to have, even when I do stupid things to jeopardize our friendship. I am glad to know you, and glad that you are my friend, and thanks for all of the support that you've given me the last few weeks.
Erica: Thanks for putting me up, and putting up with me. I value your friendship because you're not afraid to tell me what I have to hear, even when I don't want to hear it, and because you're just a blast to be around, even when I'm stumbling around and falling over couches.
Thom: You're my boy. 'Nuff said.
Laurene: Even though you probably won't ever read this, it needs to be said. Thank you for 14 years. Even though we ended poorly, and even though I couldn't be what you wanted me to be, I still love you, and always will. Unfortunately, not the way you want to be loved, and not the way I want to love someone either, but nothing will change the time we had together. I can only hope that we can get to a level where we can communicate well so that Laura will be well taken care of.
Jill, Richard, Lara, Renard: Thanks for all of your advice, support, and putting up with my whiny emo self. You guys are awesome.
To anyone else reading this: If you know (or are) a 28-35 year old woman who doesn't mind geekyness and a guy with a kid, please, by all means, get in touch.
