My most memorable moment playing my Vita was on an airplane flying across the country. I was doing my damndest to plat Hotline Miami when the flight attendant stopped by and looked over my shoulder at the screen full of blood and body parts. She asked me what I was playing before she fully focused on the screen. As I…

There was a time early in the season where us few Blazers fans were a bit conflicted about the season.

That’s some bullshit right there.

Jesus, you really want to be mad at me don’t you? Here’s what I actually said...

I elaborated on that one in a few other posts. This particular ex was the one she described as a supreme asshole who she never wanted to see again, but was in a band or some shit. It was a good read on my part. She ended up moving in with him again.

Oh no, I definitely wrapped it up. I know that’s not risk-free, but a hell of a lot less risky.

This is all pretty awesome until you see the North show up with a handful of Banshees and oh shit, two of your bases just dried up.

Yeah, lord forbid I should make any decisions about who I date based on how they behave. SO JUDGMENTAL OMGAWD.

DAAAAAMN that’s a lot of comas buddy.

I probably could have inserted the word “asshole” right before ex in my original post and it would have helped clarify a lot.

That’s a bit of fiction to believe that being able to break it off emotionally means it was never there to begin with. It sounds nice a poetic and all that, but it’s bullcrap. Being able to recognize when something just went south is important, and having some measure of understanding your emotions and how to respond…

I had 5+ year relationship drag on painfully. That had a LOT to do with how I changed, but I didn’t fully grasp it for some time after escaping that trap. Everyone should have a checklist and not be afraid to use it.

Eh hem... here is the clarification...

There definitely has to be some overlap in the venn diagram of interests. But at least some non-overlap as well. Space can be critical to one's sanity.

I am not the boyfriend in that story. That may or may not make me look less terrible, but it illustrates why I bailed on pursuing it further.

I thought the AaaaaAaarrrrgh painted a pretty clear picture of how that ended?

I should have probably included a few more words of background story on that one. It was totally legit. I swear.

With this particular girl it was very much a problem. This was the ex she had talked about the most while we were dating and she clearly painted him as no damn good. When she ran into him and didn’t immediately tell him to fuck off it was obviously a “She still wants something there”. And, she ended up moving in with…

Exactly. Being in the driver’s seat is awesome. It’s even more awesome when you meet someone else who is also in their driver’s seat. It’s great to have that ability yourself, and it’s super attractive when you see it in other people.

I know right? What an asshole!! ;)
