Being Used SUCKS!

Yeah, newsflash, right?! Like anyone wants to be used. Like anyone goes out there with the intention of being used. I dunno. Maybe some people do. It's a sure thing that some people go out with an intention to use people. I know not everyone had malicious intent, but when you seek someone out to "fulfill a need", you use people. I wish more people were just up front about things. Like, "Hey, I think you're really cool. Want to hang out?" And leave it there. Not everything has to be a budding romance. If you're not feeling it, this is one area not to fake it till you make it.

Doesn't anyone care that this is someone else's heart you're playing with?! My heart?! F*ck! Seriously. Do I wear a sign that says, "Nice girl. Fun. Smart, yet naive. Enjoy!"? Honestly, I am happy to be a friend. I have LOTS of guy friends. I enjoy my guy friends.

Today marks 20 months since I last had sex. And, yes, that was with my now ex-husband and it is by choice. With my latest choice of men, it almost happened. I am thankful it didn't work out, though. I have waited this long to be with someone who is deserving of all I have to offer and this one turned out not to be. Everything truly does happen for a reason and I suppose what I learned today explains the reason behind why I didn't share something so special and so intimate with someone who was not worthy of all it means to me.

  1. Sounds like Tuesday didn't treat you much better than Monday. I am sorry to read this. :-( Sounds like someone needs a good tripping and as always, I volunteer. Hugs. I am here if you need to talk.

  2. Yeah my Tuesday has caused me to retire before 10pm, to my empty bed, and my suffering heart. I guess it's hard knowing when it's worth it...right now, I just don't know. Even the nicest people can be over critical!! I know things will work out for the best, it's all in "his" plan. I'm sorry you suffered at my hands, I'll do my best to make it up to you....

  3. Thanks, Lo!
    And, passionate one, you are not to blame. You didn't make the choices...he did. And I blame no one. I don't think he had malicious intent. I just think he made a poor choice and wasn't honest. He disappointed me more than anything else because I thought he was better than the person he turned out to be.

Join the Navy, See the World!

There are things we want in life and make happen, but they don't always happen as we'd planned or imagined. My dad had gone to Ohio University in Athens, OH on a wrestling scholarship. I, too, wanted to go to OU, but since he'd dropped out and it had a reputation as a huge party school, it was going to be a tough sell. So, I did my homework and sell I did. At the time (1990), OU was one of the top 10 colleges for Communications in the U.S. That was the degree I wanted and I wanted to go to OU to get my degree. I graduated early and during the time between my acceptance to OU and the College of Communications and pre-college, I had become further enamored with marine life and sharks specifically and wanted to change my major to Marine Biology which at OU was actually a Zoology degree. The girl tried to talk me out of changing my major because it was so hard to get into the College of Communication and if I left, I would have to reapply and hope for the best in my junior year

Sometimes, Reality is Worse

What if I told you that Joseph/SAM was created to hurt me? Made up to be everything I'd ever want and more? What if I told you everything I believed and knew him to be was an enormous hoax? All because someone wanted to give me what she felt I had given her. All that she felt I had taken from her. I have to admit that while people have hurt me before with their actions and decisions it has been for their own personal and selfish reasons. Usually not with malicious intent.  There has to be a lot of pain and hurt within a person to invest so much into the creation of a fictional character. Someone who would really take the time to know me. Someone who would enlist others to make the ruse real. To call me on the phone, to send me cards from the web, to pick out a card and leave it at a bar where the bartender who gave it to me told me how cute my guy was, to create a Facebook account with pictures and friends, to bring an ex-wife into the mix, pictures from the desert and your trave

Struggles

Struggles. We all have them. My (latest) favorite saying is, "We all have our things." And for me, my "thing" is wanting to eat to fill the emptiness inside. And not like carrots and apples and good for you stuff. Oh, No! The really bad for you stuff. I crave sugary treats. I have been doing so well with my eating lately and have been exercising for the last few weeks as well, but last night nearly took me down. I was struggling with wanting to run--not walk--into the kitchen and make myself a bowl of cereal with some Craisins or a fruit smoothie or a PB&J. I prayed instead. Almost to the point of tears, I begged God for this to pass. I ate some carrots. I drank some more water. I contemplated some tea. I got out my swiss ball and did some wall squats as I watched TV. I had already been out for a walk earlier with ML, too, but I felt like I was coming out of my skin. OBSESSING about eating something. It wasn't food that I wanted, though. I wanted to feed t
