ADVICE: Dwelling on Past Relationships
I was reading Stacey's comment about her ex and having broken up with him. I gave some advice.
Did you know that the Planet gave a Mathematical Defintion for Love?

it's been a long while since i've dwelled in the melancholy of being "broken up." however, as i was watching SNL tonight, james blunt was performing "goodbye my lover," and duh, i couldn't help but remember for a bit (guess that answers the question from High Fidelity: "do you listen to pop music cuz you're lonely, or are you lonely cuz you listen to pop music?").
anyway.
that caused me to click on ryan's name on my friends list. he and i are no longer speaking, yet i leave him on all my friends lists and on my cell phone. i guess i still want confirmation that he's alive.
he hasn't signed on in forever and his page remains baren. my attention was pulled towards the "children" category of his profile (probably due to the fact that there's hardly anything else filled out on his page), and i noticed that it says, "i don't want kids."
and i was struck.
when he and i were together, he did. without any prompting from me, he had brought up the subject of kids. for girl names, he preferred ones that ended with the long e sound because they sounded better with his last name. he didn't want a zillion kids, but he did want some with me.
did he just want that because he knew i wanted kids? has he just changed his mind since then?
i don't know why i care.

He probably changed it. However, does it really matter at this point what his reasons for changing it are and when if you're broken up?
That's kind of like wondering if the drink in your glass was above or below the half-way mark before it dropped on the ground and shattered into a million pieces.
(The glass being a metaphor for your relationship. Pretty deep, huh?)
Trying to figure out that question is like trying to lick up what remaining drink is on the floor with your tongue. Not only is it unhealthy, but you'll just get a lot of glass shards stuck in your tongue that will be painful to remove.
(Your tongue being a metaphor for your memories and your emotional taste buds attempting to savor the bittersweet memories that haunt you about your relationship that once existed.)
Okay, maybe that answer is kind of weird, but in my defense it's 2 am in the morning and I felt like being morbidly poetic :).

- 2081975 = 20-8/1975
- 20-8/1975 = Female(20/XX) Superman(8/H/Pisces/Fe-ET/IRon Alien/Man of Steel) 1975

Did you know that the Planet gave a Mathematical Defintion for Love?
- Valentine's Day falls on 2/14
- 2/14 = B/AD
- L/OVE = Bad(L/Non-7) Communication(OVE/SunSunSun/GeminiSun)
- L = Non-7 = Non-Good = Bad
- Gemini = Sign of Communication
- The Mathematical Definition of Love translates to "Bad Communication"
