Maybe I should convert to Christianity and start praying with these Unitarians. I mean “pray” in the Shakespearian sense, of course. ---

Ya don’t even need to convert to Christianity - they’re pretty open-minded that way. ---

what if we pretend your ex is a horcrux - so you must therefore destroy her? Well, but wait - she ripped apart your heart - did she rip a bit of your soul too? Because then you want to stay away from her and wish her only well so your soul can survive for your revenge. I’m silly, I know. It does get better - you’ll survive. And not all pussies are bad things. The emo thing reminds me too much of elmo - and that just gives me images of red furry things yelling “tickle me!” Enjoy the ride. The bumps along the way are cool. And if you are with the right partner, the bumps make her boobs bounce. ---

> [@AClockworkMelon](#): > > I’m not sure what’s nerdier: My hosting a Harry Potter server or your making this comment. :smack: Nerdy? I beg to differ - we are both the hawtness. 😉 Actually, it was my bf’s offhanded use of the word “muggles” in his OKC profile that first got my attention. Hence why I told him I wanted to “check him out like a Harry Potter novel.” Course - he pointed out that books can only be checked out for 3 weeks and he was looking for something a bit more, y’know, long term. 🆒 Anyway, I made the horcrux comment so you wouldn’t feel so ‘nerdy’ and alone. 😃 ---

It just so happened that there was some seriously awesome role play going on on this server and I wound up taking over the hosting/DMing responsibilities when the old host couldn’t anymore. Thanks for the thought, but I’m pretty confident that just about everyone on this message board is a nerd. :rolleyes: ---

I wouldn’t say I’m a mega-fan either - just that the word “muggles” gave my bf immediate geek cred - if he knew what a muggle was, he was on a good track with me. ---

My “girl” just came over after a night of binge drinking last night. In fact her friend I never spoke to was texting me on her phone saying she is afraid for her. Her friend had taken her phone because she texted me a whole sentence with only one actual word in it, which was “duck”
 So she comes over, tells me she just stopped by because she wanted me to know she is alive, is a total douche to me, and starts crying for no reason. It gets better though, in her nostril is fucking coke. Yup, she’s so far gone she comes over with cocaine still smeared in her nostril. Besides back away slowly, what the fuck should I do? ---

First is always the hardest, particularly in this case where it appears you were whipped so bad the cream actually liquefied. Long story short, you’ll never forget her, time heals all wounds, and just remember that you’ll forget the crap and only remember the good stuff. You should write down the crap now while it’s still fresh in your mind. ---

> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > It’s like if you have a car that’s kind of a piece of shit, but it’s a car, and then it dies and you don’t have a car for a while and it totally blows. You miss your car, but it isn’t really so much that you miss THAT car, you just miss HAVING a car. Once you get another car, you never even think about the old POS car anymore. **Dio** –who knew you were such a romantic? 😛 In essentials, **Dio** is right, even if he does think of the fairer sex in such terms. You’re young. IMO, your best strength is your perspective on your ex and the now defunct relationship. Get off the computer and go meet some Ginnys, Hermiones and Lavendars. I have no doubt you will. (and the woman who leaves her kid for a 17 year old is NOT someone you want to spend time with longterm. Longterm meaning more than a year of your life. You’re lucky you got THAT out of the way so early.)
