taking life six months at a time
so if anyone is wondering what's up with scøüpe, here it is. térèsa and i broke up last monday. the move to savannah has been post-poned and possibly canceled. i may still move somewhere sometime soon but for now i've sworn to work for crawdaddy for at least two months. and i'm looking for a one-bedroom loft apartment in the gainesville (possibly buford) area with a six month lease. now single, i can seek to achieve my long-sought dream of actually saving some of the money i earn.
on a side-note, térèsa and i are still talking and spending some time together. our longtime friendship may yet survive the wreckage of our recently ended relationship. (when you live like i do, four years is an extremely long friendship and one worth keeping -- even if it does hurt sometimes.)

Don't do it man.... history is hard to forget, but times like that I have always found it's just best to cut and run. Now, if I could only get good at doing that myself.... :D
i was once madly in Love w/my now best friend. (once again, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SCREW HER)
i don't think the odds are in favor of a "happy ending", though. on the other hand, the odds are just odds.
first, i have no desire to screw her - now i can't say that she won't want to get with scøüpe, i mean, she wouldn't be the first...
second, miracles do happen. why shouldn't they happen to us instead of all those people we meet or hear about?
Oh, you are taking the high road, eh? Way to make her beg... ;) But yeah, miracles don't exist in romance. Only flukes.
yeah, but the thing about miracles is that they're out of your control. i'm all for being nice and not hating teresa, but it usually gets really difficult being friends right after a tough break up.
give it some time, don't go out of your way to be around each other & i think it'll be easier when you do. just my opinion, having broken up with many a guy in my day, and having found this to be the general, albeit cynical-sounding, rule.
p.s.--other important thing learned from bad break-ups: don't accidentally get drunk in company of the ex.
you might, for example, end up spilling your guts about how hard the breakup has been for you, even months afterward, to someone (the ex) who really doesn't care all that much anymore & then feeling like a real idiot the next day, having completely eliminated the possibility of normal conversation with that person for at least a year to follow.
or something worse, who knows?
I say be her friend but guard your heart and know that falling into old routines can be so easy for some people even considering the circumstances. Everyone hopes for the miracle but don't sacrifice true happiness down the road for what you think you want now. I love you and Theresa both and I know that one way or the other it will work out...but I definately go with Jenna's advice--Drink with us not with Theresa!!
