CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!

so proud of my heels

My boyfriend and I talked on Friday and things are good now.  After a lot of thinking and talking with a lot of friends, I realized that I was kind of freaking out about being tied down and giving up opportunities for him.  I didn’t realize how much pressure I was putting on myself.  So, I told him all of this and he understood.  We both agreed that we need to spend less time together and make sure that our time together is quality time.  Living together in August is an option, not the plan anymore.  If I find a job far away, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Way back when Facebook first started allowing applications and Pieces of Flair became the new cool thing to annoy your “friends” with, I collected lots of these fake buttons.  I completely forgot about the app until now.  I still really like my pieces of flair and I feel like they say a lot about me.  Maybe I’ll add some later.  I used to collect real buttons (mostly from mushycat.com) and wear them all over my purse.

I have the best roommates ever!  They made me chocolate cupcakes with homemade cream cheese icing to cheer me up after yesterday’s events.

…currently my least favorite word in the English language.

We’re on a “break.”  I never thought I’d be in a relationship that needs a break, but here we are.  I’m just not happy enough with our relationship, so I told him all about it and he understood.  Seeing him cry for about three hours was the worst part.

We’re taking a few days of not talking so we can both think about things.  After that, we’re probably going to spend less time together, but more quality time together.  The ball is in my court…I have to call him when I’m ready to talk again.  I miss him already, but I know this is what we need to do.

Now I’m just drained and feeling kinda numb.  I have an exam tomorrow that I haven’t started studying for and a paper/project due that I also haven’t started.  I think I’m just going to go to bed now and study in the morning.

I wasn’t terrifed, but I always thought I was just another character in a book being read by someone out there.

I always thought that I was a doll in some child’s dollhouse and that the whole world was controlled by some kids playing house.  Which is weird because I never played with dollhouses.  I still sometimes think about this and it freaks me out that someone out there could be posing my arms right now.  But then I think about how the kid playing with the doll-me would have to be making me type this right now, and that’s just weird.

I have the best boyfriend ever.  When I called him crying and hyperventilating from work last night, he was drunk with his friends an hour and a half away.  I just wanted to hear his voice, so we talked for a few minutes.

The night got even worse after that and I was just wishing he was in town so I could see him when I got home.

At 10:27 this morning, I got woken up by a call.  He was at my front door.

He left his friends who he doesn’t get to see very often at 8:30am to drive an hour and a half to come comfort me.
