Faith & Begorrah
There are a lot of Irish pubs and bars in Raleigh. And I have been to way too many of them. The PTP Ladies and I went out tonight to Tir Na Nog. Tir Na Nog has a fantastic menu. Grilled veggie sandwich and gingerbread w/ lemon curd. Yum. Not sure how Irish all those are, but delicious all the same.
My book is coming along swimmingly. I just need to find time to sleep...working at 6:30am is going to kill me. I fell asleep after work today at 2ish and was out cold until 6pm when my mom got home from work. I mean, the apocalypse could have happened and I wouldn't have known.
....from the ex (oh i know, I have no safe haven on the internet anymore.):
What I'm not understanding of is why you're so quick to write everything off, including the good times, as if they never happened. I agree, you're not a bitch. What I can't understand is that you could have this and more if you stayed with me, and you chose not to. For you, not having to pay rent or anything, living in DC in close proximity to NYC, and focus solely on acting isn't enough for you? If anything, it's about dreams. Mine was to marry you and have children and watch them grow, and watch you perform. Yours is to perform.
Spelling errors aside, he does not get that I didn't break up with him because I wanted to be an actor or because I wanted to move to NYC. Me moving to New York is a total byproduct of us breaking up because I don't want to be in NC forever. I broke up with him because he's jealous, manipulative, obsessive, possessive, insecure, and oh yeah ABUSIVE. And that was never going to change 100%. There would always be shades of gray.
Totally does not understand AT ALL.
I am at a loss of words.
I just want to laugh.
