derek: heres to you
we go out with someone, we get excited about them, and then they do something that midly disappoints us. then they keep doing a lot more things that disappoint us. then we go into hyper-excuse mode for weeks or possibly months, because the best thing we want to think is that this great man that we are so excited about is in the process of turning into an asshole. we try to come up with some explanation for why they're behaving that way, any explanation, no matter how rediculous than the one explanation that is the truth; he's just not that into me.
