I think I’m going to go! I just need to make a sign. If only I were clever …
What I do is, I wear the same pair of jeans for a week. Each day they get looser and looser, and I imagine it’s because my hips, thighs, and ass are getting narrower and narrower. Today it even seems like my belly is smaller!
And I am stunned that I have to pay in over $1000. I made only $12,000. I have never worked out a payment plan with the government before, and I’m so pissed that I have hard times and need to help fund wars I don’t believe in. If my money were going to get other poor people pap smears and STD tests, I’d feel a hell of a lot better about it.

It’s been seven years now since you left me in an apartment I couldn’t afford (even with three part time jobs) taking your health insurance and our car with you. I made mistakes, of course, and I hurt you. I’ve been apologizing for them for all these years, but you wanted out too. And you never said so, letting me be the one to take on all that guilt. You capitalized on that guilt by taking the car and what was left in the checking account. You capitalized on my guilt by taking all of our friends and making your mother take a vow of silence, just to punish me. (Of course, it hurts her too, I hope you know).
At first, I thought things were weird. I thought you were behaving out of grief. When we decided to split up, you moved to Wauwatosa when you worked in Oak Creek. They’re not close! I understood that you didn’t want to live in Oak Creek, but I didn’t understand, at first, why you wanted that kind of commute. You claimed you had found a short cut, but no matter how you got there, it’s still a half an hour in the best conditions. I also didn’t understand why you didn’t fight for our cat.
All of a sudden, it came to me. You wanted to live in Wauwatosa because she lived there. You didn’t fight for the cat because she had a cat (a mean, territorial cat who would have never accepted another feline in the house). Then when you moved to Tampa, it occurred to me that her parents lived in Tampa. And then I felt like an idiot.
I knew you had a cool friendship, a fondness for each other. She always laughed at everything you said. If you were screwing around while we were together, though, I never had a clue. Well done if that was the case!
I didn’t need anyone to verify what I already knew, but I got it anyway. I asked Nicole if there was something she wanted to tell me. She laughed and said, “I know you already know!”
You probably don’t know that I know. Nicole says she doesn’t talk to you anymore. And the fact that you’d allow me to wallow here, for seven years, without knowing that YOU wanted out of our relationship too shows that you’re not really that great of a person. You let all of our friends believe that I was a horrible hussy and you were the innocent victim. I didn’t behave well, but at least I was honest with you. (Eventually, yes, but I was honest. You never came clean).
But of all the friends you claimed in the breakup, what hurts the most is Jamie because now he’s dead. I don’t know if you asked him to ignore my letters, but I do know that you knew he was dying and you didn’t tell me. How in the world can you justify that— preventing me the chance to say goodbye to someone you knew I loved?
I gave everyone time, and I have since reconnected with all of our mutual friends that I want a relationship with, but I’ll never have the chance to reconnect with Jamie.
I can forgive you for taking the car. I can forgive you for dropping me from your health insurance. I can forgive you for divorcing me. I can forgive you for dragging me to Wisconsin and then leaving me here with no money to escape. But I cannot forgive you of the opportunity to say goodbye to Jamie.
I’ve reblogged this multiple times, but I continue to do so because it’s still cute.
I remember this episode! Its so wonderful =D
AWWW.
Realizing that I probably won’t keep in touch with my best girl friend from here after I move. She’s fun but our life’s goals are so different.
Magnolia!
