I just got dumped by the person I thought was “the one.” And no one’s around. No one’s on ICQ, no one’s on AIM, no one’s on MSN, and all the people I try to call are out. My life SUCKS…and he dumped me, and it’s the holidays and I have finals and I have to perform this weekend AND see my parents and I CAN’T BELIEVE HE DID THIS TO ME. ---

((((((((Nocturne)))))))) I’m so sorry, hon. That sucks whole bunches… If you need someone to talk to, I’ll probably be around the rest of the evening and you have my AIM name. ---

I gave it all up, there is no more love left. There is no one out there for me either, she does not exist. You are not the only one. The only one I ever loved has passed away. The rest I cannot be matched with. I’m no good at words of comfort, Bob Normal is, but he does not mean them. ---

{{{{Nocturne}}}} I too was dumped by ‘the one’. I sympathize with you more than you could know, but please let me say that things do indeed get better. I know it’s not what you want to hear, but please listen to all the advice people will give you… it rings true. I hope things cheer up soon… ☹ ---

Oh, sweetie… I am _so_ sorry. What is it with some guys and their impeccable timing? May I say, he’s the worse for not knowing enough to keep you. Some day he’s gonna wake up, bald and fat, with a dead-end job as a cashier at a fast-food place, totally miserable, and realize that the moment his life went terribly, terribly wrong was the moment he broke up with you. {{{{hugs}}}} hon. As soon as I get the pipe-fitting-glue off my hands and out of my hair, I’ll send ya an email (don’t ask). -BK ---

Instead I screwed the whole thing up. Nothing worse than KNOWING your the cause of all that was good and is not FUBAR. _sigh_ Osip ---

_hugs_☹ Why do people wait for the holidays to do this type of thing? I swear it increases a hundredfold during this time of year. ---
