WARNING: Another Pointless Rant About Women

[Karkull]

Maybe it's the weather, maybe it's because of I'm running on two hours sleep, maybe it's because I'm so swamped with work right now...I don't know.

I bumped into an ex-girlfriend -- one who I'm "on good terms" with (meaning that we no longer want each other killed) -- at the computer lab where I work and preceeded to overhear her talking about her love life with another girl (I was trying not to eavesdrop, but she was sitting right next to me so it's kinda hard). Then, before she left, she hung around my desk long enough to announce the news that she had a blind date tomorrow, then left.

Now, for those coming in late, keep in mind: even though I've mostly gotten over her (it's like AA -- one day at a time, :p), there's something about her that, on odd days, still makes my blood boil. At her worst, she's an aggravating, chaotic woman who I have the unfortunate honor of still sharing a College English Department with.

I don't know...it doesn't bother me like it did back in February and March, but maybe I'm still disturbed about this because she can still get to me. Or maybe it's because my dating has kinda dried up since the semester started, and I'm kind of lonely right now. Or maybe I miss automatically having someone to go to RennFest or to a movie with.

Any thoughts?

I was about to say that this was pointless...

Ah, why not? That was pointless. Maybe that's why I've never been on a date. But hey, you didn't take a swing at her, I guess that counts. :)

Later.

Sounds like a crappy incident, but I'm not sure where you want the advice at....

What are you asking now?

Uh...I don't know. It was a rant -- nothing more, nothing less. I figured that everyone else does a crappy day post once and a while, so why not me?

Don't worry Karkull, I'm with you. Obviously no one else realizes a.) this situation and how it feels, and b.) what a rant is all about.

No rant about women...is pointless.

What you need to do is this...kill her. Worked for my last relationship.







hahaha. Just kidding. But no, really. I've been in your spot. 100%. Then I just stopped caring, and even when I did see her, I wouldn't give her the time of day. And everything seems perfectly fine, now. She's going insane(r), and I could care less. :D

Find some buddies, see a movie or something and forget the whole bloody incident happened. Best of luck moving on, I know it's not easy.

It took me months to move on from my last relationship because I felt so used and dejected at the end. I wasn't dumped for another man, but for her career. I mean, come on, that's just insulting.

Anyhow, rant about women all you like. All guys need to now and again. Things will never heal completely, so as long as you can keep a lid on things nowadays (and she's not purposely trying to rub your nose in her blind date situations, etc) then I'd say this is as good as it gets.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go watch the game...all weekend. :)
