An update on my last update:
So, I decided that instead of keeping everything inside i should just go out on a limb and talk to dan about it. probably one of the best ideas i've had to date. i feel a lot better and we came to the conclusion that we are better off without certain people in our lives. for him, it's heather (below ex girlfriend), the singer of his old band (who pretty much prevented them from becoming celebrities by thinking he was already there), and other past relationships that taught him that you can't save the world. For me, it's natalie, who showed me that living your life "by the balls" is a pretty bad idea, fat laurie- showed me what real friends DON'T act like, and also heather, who even though i've never met her in real life (yeah, she tried to start with me over the INTERNET!! how awesome is she?), showed me that everyone gets what they deserve. i pretty much have everything i could ever want. Awesome friends, family, job, etc. i met the love of my life and if it weren't for heather and natalie we wouldn't be together right now. so thanks a lot ladies.
