Hahahahaha! You know how sometimes life just gets really good and you don't even realise it at the time because you're sort of a moron? Well that just happened ...
Okay, to fully understand this (or to at least be able to decipher 1/7 of the drivel I'm about to dump on yo' asses), you'll need to check out all the previous posts regarding my hideous ex-friend and The Boy. Because BREAKING NEWS: Shit just got real.
See, the bitch ended our 12 year friendship in January this year. I was heading overseas, The Boy was moving interstate, so when I didn't hear from him after that, I figured she'd spewed poison in his ear about me and he'd either A) believed her and decided I was an awful person, or B) told her he'd cut off all contact with me so as to keep the peace with her (I know that seems like a shitty thing to do, but he's kind of lazy when it comes to stuff he perceives as being Girl Drama, and would placate her if he thought it was easier than getting in the middle of us.) Neither option made me deliriously happy as such, but seeing as we were both moving away/on, I thought I'd let it go - after all, one of the benefits of not being friends with Marta anymore is the marked decrease in dramatic bullshit my life is infused with.
So I went about my life assuming he was out of it, and was reasonably okay with that. He doesn't have a facebook, uses email only for work, and I couldn't contact him by phone because I got a new SIM card when I was overseas and forgot to transfer the numbers from the old one.
Then out of the blue, he calls me today! He tried to call me a few months ago but only had my old number. He heard though the grapevine that I was back in town, and decided to call me, because in 7 weeks, he'll be back too :) He's gotten a transfer from work, so he's moving back here and wanted to catch up with his old friends.
As it turns out, he had a gigantic fight with Marta about a week after I did, and hasn't spoken to her since. He even had to call the police on her at one stage, and she's going to be charged with harassment if she starts any of her shit with him again. He had no idea I wasn't friends with her anymore - I told him the only reason I hadn't contacted him was because I thought he was on her side of our fight, and I didn't want to put him in the middle even more than he already was. He thought she'd told me to never speak to him again. So as it turns out, we're both dumbasses.
Here's where it gets good. I'm looking to move out of my parents house really, really soon - I've been here for 2 months now, and I'm over it. He owns a house, and will be moving back into it once his tenants are gone. He thinks we'd be great roommates - we're good friends, we can stay out of each other's way, we can resume our fuck-buddy relationship when it suits us, but not be trapped by any kind of jealous relationship-style bullshit. It's not definite yet, I'm more the live-alone type ... but I'm considering it. I've missed our friendship, I've missed the sex (not that there haven't been others since he was gone, but he was convenient!), and now that Marta isn't an issue, we have even less complications to deal with than ever before.
And not that this is something that would make or break my decision, but ... Marta would be pissed off something ROYAL. The whole reason for her disgusting adultery on her husband is that she always has been, and always will be, totally in love with The Boy. He's never been interested in her like that, and now he absolutely HATES her. Like, enough that if she gives him any shit, he'll tell her husband about her extra-curriculars (after all, he used to be one of them, so it's not like he lacks credibility!!!!)
The only slight caveat - I'm not sure what the deal is with his "girlfriend". He didn't go into detail, but said something about her taking their daughter on holiday to Europe for a "long time". That sounds to me like Boy Code for "she got sick of my shit and left me but it would sound callous to admit that I'm not pining for her". Don't get me wrong - he's not the type of jerk to walk out on his daughter, even if he and her mother aren't together anymore, that little girl will want for NOTHING. He's not a deadbeat Dad, he's just not a great boyfriend.
Anyway, he's hella-excited to see me when he gets here, and we've promised to stay in contact between now and then too.
Suck shit Marta, you can't ruin everything you touch :)
Edit: I found some old photos today, and had forgotten just how AWFUL she looked at her wedding! She was SO fat!!!! Massive double chin, flabby arms, dowdy dress that was obviously home-made, and wide ass. Her skin was so blotchy that day, which is weird because she normally doesn't have a problem with that. Her hair looked terrible - very oily and stringy, and her makeup was done by her 14 year old sister. Her stomach bounced as she walked down the aisle. I shouldn't find it funny, but I do!!!

patch is an idiot,
