Cleansing

At first, I thought I'd do it differently this time: I'd remember him, I'd accept him as part of my "past life," I'd accept him as a "figure with meaning." But now I think, if I keep remembering him, he will continue to be alive in my life ... through me.

I know I can't completely wipe him away from my life -- the shadows of him will live on -- but only as reminders of how far I've come. I want to cleanse the wound in my soul of his dirt. I'm going to have for him a funeral, so what remnants that substantiate his existence in my mind will forever rest in peace, dead and gone.

Lots ov choclate fer me to aaaet

I ate a lot of chocolate today (well, more than what I normally would anyway, which is none). Oh man, KevHav's Trader Joe's 73% dark chocolate was HEAVENLY!

I also ate a cold slice of pizza for snack, which I don't usually eat. That was good, too.

But -- trust me -- I am still being healthy. Good golly, do I look SO MUCH better now! Maybe happiness really does something to ya! (by the way, my abs, legs and arms are better now -- stronger) Oh, boy, am I gonna look and feel even better. Teeheehee! Now I just wish that I can ride Johnny soon ... if the weather and time permits. :)

As for my social activity of the day, I went to a sustainability event with a few friends, made a few more friends, and definitely met a fashion designer. I wasn't really there for the networking but my own interest on the topic, but dude, it's so cool to know people from all walks of life. Now I know people from manufacturing to construction to retail to politics, the film industry, music industry, and literary field ... and all the way back to the ivory tower!

And I read today. I have so many books (an even bigger collection now!), and I just can't wait to finish them all! I am craving new perspectives and new ways to be alive.

Tomorrow night, I might hang out with my attorneys after work and then go home and bake a cake for this weekend's potluck in Seattle. Oh-so-excited!

Ahhhh, life is so awesome. I am determined to make it even BETTER!!!

This Makes Me Angry

Tonight, I heard from my friend that my ex "still wants to be my friend."

"Friend?" You've gotta be kidding me. (Who do you think you are??) I mean, when is this gonna be over? Treat me like shit, and then expect me to befriend him? And when I don't budge, he gives me the "why do you hate me" and the "you're so immature"? If that's not laughable, I don't know what is.

Has he no concept of what friendship means? He didn't treat me like a friend. He treated me like I was less than a person -- nothing but a piece of ass. His so-called "honesty" was a lie. How does he think people should be treated? Whatever happened to courtesy, care, commitment, respect and loyalty? What makes him think that he can gain my friendship without earning it? In mathematical terms, he is definitely on the far side of the negative end on the number scale. He takes friendship for granted and definitely my friendship for granted.

Everything that I invested in him, every breath that I spent on him was wasteful. What I gave was quality: it was what anyone can ask for. Yet, he took all of it for granted -- and he doesn't recognize it. After everything, I'm done. He doesn't deserve the good in me -- not even half an ounce of it. He had his chance, and he blew it.

So don't come asking me for friendship now. I refuse to associate with negativity, which he is full of, amongst other things. I won't be losing sleep over not associating with him and not having him in my life ever again.

My care, love, loyalty, company and companionship, wit and two-cents, and much more, are reserved for other people that are actually worthwhile.

Oh, and please. He knew his news would get back to me somehow. I wish he would just stop doing this passive aggressive shit (first, the phone call on my parents' phone. Now, this.). He just needs to go away ... far far far far away. (But I guess the likelihood of that is quite low since

Wordscape

I love books. I love bookstores and libraries. I love I love I love I love!

I love words. I love music. I love movies. I love pictures and colors. I love movement. I love coffee and tea. I love everything that has to do with creative expression.

I love learning. I love growth. I love exploration. I love adventures. I love pleasant surprises. I love smiles and laughs. I love imagination. I love beliefs. I love everything that has to do with opening up an enormous world of intangibles in the confined space of our heads.

I'm excited for the four books I just bought.
