The Version for Public Consumption
I did have to work today, though it wasn't much; not too many courthouses are open on Veterans Day. However, I did stop at the used bookstore in Salem. SCORE! Dragged home a stupendous haul, because I am constitutionally incapable of ignoring the temptation of used bookstores. I count it as a moral failure on my part that I haven't been able to

I think the extremism of it all would amuse me if it wasn't hurting you so much.
How would you like to make fun of my silly crush to take your mind off it? I have seen a picture and it made it worse *g*

On some level, I do find it hilarious, but I also find it very frustrating because I know if I say anything about it, even with language greatly modified to "unwise" rather than "really fucking stupid", this is basically like inviting the Drama Llama to come sodomize me repeatedly.
I suppose, also, it's reinforcing what I should have already known: any kind of relationship would never have a snowball's chance in hell, because it's a bit like a badly scarred war veteran being married to an adorable bouncing princess who's never known a day's hardship in her life.
Honestly, I really want to defriend her right now, but I can't do that because I can't explain why to her, at least not in any way she can understand. I'm holding out in hopes that I will be able to get over it. (You are very glad you can't see the private entry that followed this one.)
In short, HAY U R PRETY PLZ B MY REBOUND RELASHUNSHIP. :D ♥
I would love to mock your silly crush. I am sure Jennifer Saunders feels cheated on. ;)

I think that's always the problem when people are in the first throes of such things. Any attempt to be remotely serious is countered with angst to the nth degree, which is not fun to be on the end of at any point in time.
Sometimes opposites attract, but they rarely work out in the long term, especially when the opposite part of thing is directly related to what you want out of life. This is a sad but true fact :(
You will get over it, simply because that's what we do in life. It chucks crap at us, the crap knocks us over for a while, but then we brush it off and go on with our lives. But keeping someone around is never inducive to getting over them, I find. Perhaps an altered reading filter is the best temporary move while you wait for things to go BOOM.
WHAT? ARE YOU SAYING OUR LOVE WASN'T SODOOMED ALL ALONG?????
Not only cheated on, but cheated on with a girl more than half her age!!

And I'm sure whatever sap 'n crap was included in the angst would just make me want to projectile vomit. I realize it is arrogant of me to speak for another person, and it's entirely possible that maybe, just maybe, the bottom might NOT fall out (in which case my anger would eventually magically transform into lots and lots of pity), but ODDS ARE it won't last till Thanksgiving.
And if it does, well, I'll just reset D-Day. ;)
I know I'll get over it, simply because I got over the others before her, and I don't really feel inclined to sit around and mope and not properly live my life. I'm still friendly with other people I've wanted to get over, but in one case we were out of contact for a few months (more out of life-in-general than for any other reason) and in the other, for three years.
WELL, YES, BUT IT NEVER SEEMED TO BE THE RIGHT TIME TO SAY ANYTHING AND I RATHER FIGURED YOU MIGHTN'T WANT TO GO OUT WITH ME!!!!1111
Oh, Tara, you cradle-robber!
