Relevant points from today:

Mark has been declared my "content boy." He was also declared a web tease today. As he puts it, he's just a walking "Coming Soon" page. If that's not a tease, what is??

"Stir occasionally" means that you have to stay in the kitchen and stir more than once every 5 minutes. If you leave to clean up your apartment and turn on the computer, you will come back to stuff stuck to the bottom of your no-stick pot.

I get so friggin' lonely sometimes. I get all nostalgic and sad when I think back to the love, the friendship, the warmth I used to have that is gone now. These episodes don't last long and they're mercifully rare, but they're rather intense when they happen. Grrr. It doesn't help when you listen to this song over and over.

However, I find that the moods pass more quickly when I just immerse myself in them, let them wash over me, around me, and through me. Then I get something more than pain out of the experience.

So I'm reminiscing and feeling sorry for myself, hoping he's happy wherever he is, wishing he was here with me, but knowing at the same time that what happened had to happen. We weren't right for each other, but we had a good time trying.

It's a good thing these phases don't last long and don't happen often.

And doing laundry when you don't want to sucks. It sucks big time.
