BEFORE I get into how sweet, funny, thoughtful and talented this cat is, I gotta put some things into perspective.

When do you draw the line, and when do you blend everyone into the background as “typical”??? It’s like…for over a year, I had my heart set aside for ONE person…EVERYONE came second to him, cause he was seemingly perfect…and continued to show and prove how untypical he was. As much as I cared about him, I never thought I was in love with him, or even uttered the “L” word to him. At the same time tho, outside of close friends and family, I was unable to “love”anyone else either. I made sure never to over commit myself, cause I knew that should the opportunity arise, I’d drop any and everything for dude. When HE did get around to wanting to be with me, distance and all, I was more than ready to push EVERYTHING aside. And I was HAPPY…I don’t think I’ve ever been more secure than when I was dating him–but nothing lasts forever, and he turned out to be one of the sorriest excuses for a man EVER. And yet…it took for another non-typical WONDERFUL person to help me see past the hurt and wasted time…and I’m here to tell you, I didn’t fall in love this time around…I got shoved. ;-) But, like I said, nothing lasts forever, and if you know me, then you know what became of that.

What I need to know is…what’s the difference between the average joe hurting someone, and someone you love doing the same thing? Are they not the same? (whether it be male or female) What is it about that person you love that gives them license to act a damn donkey, and have you STILL willing to wipe a slate clean? Or even if you don’t wipe it clean….you WANT to. WHY??? Why do we let some get away with malice, and others we don’t? Isn’t malice, malice, malice, malice??? I’m sittin here wondering how E can let a nigga hit on her, how I woulda’ got back with my hs sweetheart in a heartbeat, how my step mom and dad are still together…how I sit back and blow off shots at “What I always wanted” because I don’t wanna be “convenient”, and even though your world might not revolve around a certain person, you STILL find yourself feeling like nothing you do without them is ever right. That’s like Mo not knowing what to do after J, cause nobody else feels right. *Hmm* the hell is that about??? The world is just one big Lonely circle following…

Oh well. Jay is sweet, funny, thoughtful and talented and HANDSOME…HA-haaaaaaaa…and he STILL can’t get a break with me…I’m movin’ in slow-mo like a hurd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter. G’nite!

“Wow u sound like u put a lotta thought into that. But I don’t think that classifies me at all. But hey, if ur not willing to AT LEAST see what I’m about, then thats cool. I understand. Maybe u don’t see any oportunites at UNT because when a good opportunity attempts to get to know you, you look right past him because of otha fools u have met in ur past. You have a blessed day as well sweetheart!!!”

“:) I will. And know that I’m not bitter, andI’m not jaded…I just don’t like to risk wasting my time. (Not to say that you’rea waste, as I don’t know you). And, it’snot that I don’t know a good man when I meet one…cause in all honesty, I’m in love with one. But, I’m not in a relationship and I don’t have any use for new friendships or relationships, so, I blow off a lotof “opportunities”. Be Blessed!”

This is like my interaction with every new guy I meet. [Sidebar: the guy in this convo turned out to be a stand up guy...or at least deserved a "Hi" at the bus stop.]

But I hate meeting new guys. I’m shy around the overly cute ones, and belligerent towards the rest. If I don’t like being approached like that at the union, or the bus stop…then I don’t know why I was in Austin this weekend. The only people I “like” meeting are those with similar interests (Comedy, Track, Poetry) And even then I don’t slow down…they speed up.

Topic change!!!
Tell me why Jerrry Springer called me, and when I called back, they talkin bout someone submitted my info to be a guest on the show, but they “didn’t know why” my info had been submitted. I concluded it was a prank but…shiiiit…why? Who does that??? *Thinks about doing it*

Happenings…

Filed under: Uncategorized — Saela @ 7:47 am

Jeremy came to visit me today…that was super fun… We gave up on our bootleg trip to Texas Relays since Ms. Adrian “Couldn’t find anything to wear”. I’m not gon’ get started on here…it’s old news… We went to Target, and took pics of funny stuff…(Ike and me on the CandyLand box, “Blaine” with the bad haircut and a funny towelette wrapper. Went to Hooters and had a good time…

"Aces"

Filed under: Uncategorized — Saela @ 6:07 pm

Why it just popped in his head to ask about that, I don’t know…but he sucked the life outta me…

I just…tried to smile and answer the question politely…when I really should have just pretended my headphones were up louder than they were…

Or maybe if my headphones HAD been up that loud, I never would be feeling the way I’m feeling. That’s not salt on the wound, that’s picking the scab. It made me forget how good a day I was having, how much I love my shoes, how I was gonna hustle a ride to work and stay sober…how I’ve been without a phone since Monday, but I feel so…FREEEE…

Forgot my favorite color was pink, forgot my plans to order track spikes, forgot that Jesus loves me…

Forgot the lightness of my ponytail…and became heavy. So heavy I thought the bus should lean on one side with my weight.

I stammered over the words, “No…he’s just my best friend.” and fought hard against the inclination to whince when he hadn’t heard me, and asked me to repeat them.

He didn’t…hit a bad chord
He sung the whole song—
Wrong.
Sometimes, ex’s don’t get along,
Sometimes ex’s can’t move along
Sometimes, it takes a long…long…long…
Just a long long.

Word of the week, "Lackluster"

Filed under: Uncategorized — Saela @ 9:59 pm

Last night was…lackluster to say the least. Maybe the party was funner to people who didn’t have as much stuff on their mind…and half the people I was looking to see weren’t there. Those that were…I saw through.

The step show was okay…in my opinion not as good as last year, but I got to see FRIEND perform…I was like Will Ferrel in “Elf” “I know him! I know him!!!” Oooh, and our Ques put on a gooooode show. I was laughin’ cause half of last years Kerr Clique was on the stage. And, it’s always fun to watch the U of H Sigmas… I’ve seen that performance a couple of times before, and it’s still good to me.

Also, I ran into this cute guy I always slip and smile at…he seems…”friendly” which is usually not my type (we can’t BOTH be friendly, lol) and I just said Eff it, and gave him my number.

More profound blabs of indifference later…Flavor of Love is on.
