I feel for you Eli. I broke up with my GF of 5 years this February, got into another relationship and got dumped in the summer. Now, after receiving a farily serious disciplinary report at work, I've decided to quit my job (not an easy decision). It sucks, but hey, what's life without a little excitement?
Where did you work? My job is looking for a replacement for my position, but it's a long shot (real long) that it's something you would be interested in.

You could be living in a van down by the river.
I may as well be.. 😛
Too much to explain.
Most of my stuff is in New Mexico. I came back to Portland to work for the summer and figure out what I wanted to do.
At the worst, I'd just go back to NM.
Everything I have with me fits in my Insight. I'm staying in a hotel. If I could get internet access at the place I usually camp, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Much cheaper.
lol
I do drink, but I mean.. it's most certainly not my poison of choice. It just doesn't agree with my body.
I had four cran and vods on Friday night and was toasted, ate about an hour later and ended up puking, even though I was winding down.
I was fine after throwing up, but I couldn't stop it from happening. Just doesn't do good things to me.. lol

Ridiculed by ATOT people?
So there's me and Amber, and we're all inseparable, right?
Just big time in love and then about four months down the road, the idiot gear kicks in, and I ask about the ex-boyfriend, which as we all know is a really dumb move but you know how it is , you don't really want to know but you just have to know, right? Stupid guy bullshit.
So anyway she starts telling me all about him, how they fell in love, and how they went out for a couple of years, how they lived together, her mother likes me better, blah, blah, blah and I'm okay.
But then she drops the bomb on me, and the bomb is this; it seems that a couple of times, while they were going out, he'd brought some people to bed with them, menage a trois I believe it's called. Now this just blows my mind, right?
I mean, I am not used to that sort of thing. I was raised catholic for God's sakes. So I'm totally weirded out by this, right? And I just start blasting her, like I don't know how to deal with what I'm feeling, so I figure the best way is by calling her slut, and tell her she was used, I'm out for blood.
I really wanted to hurt this girl and I'm like what the fuck is your problem, and she's just all calmly trying to tell me like, it was that time, it was that place, and she doesn't think she should apologize because she doesn't feel that she's done anything wrong.
And I'm like, oh, really? That's when I look her straight in the eye and tell her it's over, I walk. I wasn't disgusted with her, I was afraid. At that moment, I felt small, like...like I'd lacked experience, like I'd never be on her level, like I'd never be enough for her or something like that, you know what I'm saying?
But what I did not get...she didn't care. She wasn't looking for that guy anymore. She was...she was looking for me, for... for the Coke. But, uh, by the time I figured this all out, it was too late, she moved on, and all I had to show for it was some foolish pride, which then gave way to regret. She was the girl, I know that now. But I pushed her away.
🙂
new doors should be opening for you dude.
Hmm.
Thanks for the story.
This all happened because I lost my job. I had originally come back to Portland to work for the summer and figure out what I wanted to do. Without the job, I was a free spirit, free to do whatever I wanted. The original plan was to move back to New Mexico when the summer thing ended.
I told her this.
She felt like I was staying here because of her. Which I more or less was. But I feel that's reading into it too much. It's not like I was asking her to spend the rest of her life with me.. lol.
This caused her to feel extreme pressure, which I don't understand, but it's still her feelings. Shrug.
