ways and means
i dont care what anyone says i'm sticking with the trebuchet. arial is so last season. ahh yes, another halloween, another weekend, another daylights savings time all gone by. maybe next year i will get it into my head that it isnt neccessary to be friends with all my old boyfriends. because lets face it, sometimes they just creep me out. but yet, i found myself at one of their houses saturday night after the bar. (hootie and i went as pirates for halloween. so awesome) ninety percent of the time when i hang out with this person, i wish i was somewhere else but yet i still find myself in the prediciment that i was in saturday night. the minute i got there i knew it was a bad idea. scratch that, i knew before that. needless to say it ended in me walking out shaking my head while getting yelled at with the door locked behind me. typical behavior but yet here i still am trying to make a friendship out of a bad relationship that never worked in the first place. bahhh. i have the hardest time letting go of guys in my life that i have dated, but no problem at all ending relationships with friends who i feel have done me wrong. which is funny, because the guys i've dated treat me far worse than anyone else, but i stick around for as long as it takes for them to break up with me. and then once i am just finally sane again i open that door and let them back in because for some reason i feel i have something to prove. dont know if its to them or to myself, but it usually ends up messy again with the lines all blurry and even though i know i dont want to date them i know i dont want to not talk to them and go to outrageous efforts to include them in my life when most of the time they couldnt care less. dont get me wrong, i dont really give it too much thought other than it pisses me off. while writing this post, i am also msn-ing one of them.

I understand how you feel, wanting them to give a shit and trying to include them in your life. It sucks.
i think it's safe to say we've all been their atleast once. i lost my 4 closest friends from highschool this past august and i keep the ex-boyfriend from january around. you shouldn't let people treat you like shit, you deserve a whole lot more.
Shippy you are just being a proper human being. I mean being kind to people and giving them more chances. You just need to be a little more assertive with some people and also you need to tell yourself not to keep going back for more punishment. Just tell them that you know an insane Irish man, they will get the message, hehe. Take care.
its always hard to let go of the people that have meant something to you, and its easier with friends because that intamacy isnt there, but as hard as it is sometimes you just have to do it otherwise you are letting them hurt you and it becomes your own fault.
do you need to borrow my pirate flag for inspiration? hmmm, do you?
ps. gareth... you are scary.
msning with ex-boyfriends/girlfriends/partners/ casual encounters, etc is just bad news.
i understand shipster.
Just follow your heart and be true to yourself.
wow that was some quality generic advice 'i'm not touching you', perhaps you could go to teen crisis centres and help everyone.
i apologize in advance for this comment.
excellent post ship. you just typed out thoughts that have run through my mind so many times.
and well done on "couldn't care less" it is just a little pet peeve of mine when people say "could care less" because that's not what they mean, they mean they "could not care less" anyway...thanks for the correct usage.
and be strong. you are a kick ass girl but you already know that.
oh and listen to gareth, he's really wise. kind people get walked on all the time. welcome to the club. your VIP
