Alright, say it, I've been boring. I didn't write during my trip, and have written mediocre, filler entries since I've been back.
I need to stop being such a bore-a-thon. I mean, WHO CARES about pseudo-philosophical, overly sentimental musings about my digital self. We need to start talking about all the BOYS to date in Man Jose.
Um, I think I need to get dressed and get out of the house first. This morning, I went running at 8:30, came back at 9:15, and... I haven't left the house since.
I've been totally avoiding the outside world, this is true. Instead, I spend my days on the evil internet (death to Facebook), and my nights are in front of my parent's huge tv. I've watched:
- Scoop, by Woody Allen (funny!)
- Funny Girl, with Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire (I want to dance with Astaire!!!)
- Marie Antoinette, by Sophia Coppola (eh, eye candy)
- Ugly Betty, season 2 (excellent!!!)
- Mad Men, season 1 (feeling it out)
- 2 Days in Paris by Julie Delpy (believable, totally not cheesy- reminiscent of my last relationship)
Speaking of my last relationship, my exbf has been contacting me lately. Whenever he does this, I wonder what's really going on. Communication was never our strong point, but I'm guessing his love life isn't so hot right now. We all do that, don't we? Reach out to our exes when all current matters of the heart turn sour?
My good friend is sleeping with her exbf at the moment. The dude she dated 10 years ago! In high school!!!! And you know what? Good for her. It's not the ideal situation, but fuck it (get it? get it?), we do it cause it's comfortable. We do it cause DATING BLOWS.
Watch 2 Days in Paris. It will remind you that relationships can suck, but sometimes you should just stick with it cause the ex situation is no less complicated than being in the relationship (did that just make sense??).
Moral of the story: you're probably gonna end up screwing your ex again down the line at some point, so just save yourself the trauma of the breakup. Remember, the Ex Files never end. NEVER!!!

ahahah, i remember seeing a preview of this movie! Oh gosh, I've NEVER slept with an ex and hope I won't EVER. I like to have a clean break, no calling no seeing no NOTHING. Does that make me sound like cold bitch? I tend to do that.... sound and act alike a cold bitch.
ReplyDeleteyeah i've never slept with any of my exes either. i will say though that cutting the guy off also tends to backfire- the exes always have a way of popping up at the most inopportune moments. they totally have radar and know to start contacting you the moment you start dating someone else.
ReplyDeletebut where would we be without them???
hmm, i've slept with more than one "ex". it's actually good closure in a way. I LOVED 2 Days in Paris, one of my favorite parts is when that guy on the subway just keeps staring at them and standing in their personal space. Julie Delpy is the female answer to Woody Allen.
ReplyDeleteHm. Really do not get the screwing the ex thing. Never wanted to do it, never have, and never will.
ReplyDeletedid you see the new york mag "live well, spend less" issue where they recommend recycling your exes over going out on new dates to spend $$$? god, i love new york.
ReplyDeleteoops, meant SAVE $$$.
ReplyDeleteomg i must read that article, stat.
ReplyDeleteit's just too good:
ReplyDelete"Booty-calling an ex, at least one you’re on good terms with, is a low-risk, high-yield investment"
