AIJ, the only kind of friendship with her that you should be putting any energy into is one where you can both enjoy being with your mutual friends at the same time. Any friendship on top of that is secondary for now. Once you have achieved the first, the better friendship will re-emerge or it won't and there's no forcing it.

Bad time of year for a breakup though, bad luck. I got dumped over the phone on Christmas Day when I was 16 or 17. I got over it, but what a bastard!

Yeh that sucks arse

Yeh try and up your friendship with mutual friends instead of going whole hog into a friendship. As Amph said above she may have tagged the friend thing (its so very stereotypical) on to soften the blow and youve agreed because you want the blow softened and still want her in your life. Another epic bit of advice from above (above all the 'dont sleep with her mum' stuff which is funny and also true) is be yourself not a shell of man. As someone put it in a very good way dont become a 'get AIJ into the light' project. Ive been both a 'project' and a 'bringer into the light' and nobody enjoys it, especially if your mutual friends see her having a good time and you as a 'project'. I know your hoping for a renewed friendship but if that doesnt work out properly, and it might not, some mutual friends may draw a 'us and them' line and pick sides is it gets messy. You especially dont want to be the moping project in that instance.

Messing with groove: went into work for 9. In work tomorrow not today but it turned out for the best.

I'm at work today and if my transit ride in was any indication EVERYONE ELSE HAS THE DAY OFF!

Fuck.

It's going to be boring and I can't leave until at LEAST mid-afternoon.

I couldn't get my truck to start this morning, and since I needed to get my daughter to her Nana's house, I had to call said Nana to come pick us up. This Nana is also my mother-in-law.

Gonna have to get a job for next semester. Which means that I'm gonna be getting a job for sometime in April, at the outside. Because that's how the job market is.

I wish, I'll probably just wait till my boss leaves early and take off after that. The problem being no one knows when that will be.

Further messing with my groove, is that eye-opening article Apt linked to in "Discussion" about the Mexican Drug War. Chilling.

I think I'm coming down with some sort of funk, and I have less than 4 days remaining on my holiday I don't want to spend them sick.

I'd say most animal rights groups do plenty for people too. It's really PETA, who have the highest profile and wield that power in the most mind-breakingly irresponsible manner possible, that should get the scorn. Most other entities of note I've encountered prefer a frank and honest perspective about the relationships between man and beast. If it's more helpful, think of PETA as the cloppers of the animal rights community.

They came with white hands and left with red hands.

All my friends who said they might be here for New Years Eve stayed with their family and the one friend that is here doesn't want me to come, because he's living right over the caretaker and he's afraid we might get to loud if there are to many people.

What's New Year's without having to call an ambulance!!! Though in a strange twist of events I'm not the one needing to go to hospital - it's a novel feeling.

Just came back from an otherwise night out, and found out I'm a colossal fuckwit! Fucking marvellous!

I spoke to a few people out tonight, and one was a friend of a friend who I offered to buy a drink for since she was pretty cool and all, and she declined. I asked why, since I was drunk and tactless, and (to a steadily increasing expression of horror on my face) she told me that last year around 4am she punched me in the face because I was making out with a friend of ours - the friend through which I knew her, in fact, one of the prettiest girls I actually know or have seen via the internet - who has a boyfriend and neither of us would stop snogging the other, so she punched the one she wasn't friends with and took her off home to sober up, and I presumably went home after that. That was the night I passed out against my front door while too drunk to get my key to open it, and changed out of my dirty suit into a clean suit to go to bed in, and woke up past four in the afternoon. That was the night I don't remember anything after 2am, and I assumed I only met a friend (who I don't remember meeting but have pictures with in that time frame) and was entertainingly drunk before going home, but nope! I was making out with a friend of mine who was in a relationship! Fucking wonderful, brain, you utter shitbag!

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Dude.

Atleast you have the class to be ashamed of your actions - that shows greater character than some. And now that you know you can set about redeeming yourself to those of your friends who recall your actions that night. Though what I don't get is why didn't any one mention it prior to now? Are you sure she was being honest and not just having you on? I only ask since it seems very much out of character for you to behave like that and the fact that noone else has mentioned it.

It's stinking hot and it's only going to get worse tomorrow, 40 degrees. Arrghhhh Melbourne.

Also, being struck by occasional bouts of quasi-depression: not too bad, but sometimes feel like there's no/little point to anything. But going to gym still holds appeal, so I reckon that'll be my medicine.
