You know how I said it was no big thing?

I really meant it. I broke up with my "boyfriend" this afternoon. He is still awesome, but we just weren't quite compatible. To put it in HIMYM terms, I'm much more of a Robin and he's a Ted. There's a funny story there that I won't tell because he'd be embarrassed. But let's just say... he TOTALLY pulled a Ted.

After I broke up with him, using lots of cliches (It's not you, it's me. I'm trying to find myself right now and I can't do that with a BF. I'm really busy with work right now. [Also like Robin breaking up with the kindergartener, I think I was his first GF and therefore dumping]) I continued to have one of the most awkward afternoons. Ever. He insisted that not only we still go see G.I. Joe together, but that he pay for my ticket. It didn't get better as time passed, it just got more uncomfortable. It's really hard to explain. I did not dig it.

We will still be friends. I'm not worried about that so much. But I did notice us both trying desperately to avoid our inside jokes. Much like Ted and Robin. Obvi I've been watching 3rd season HIMYM lately. But only when I haven't been reading the TWILIGHT SAGA!!!!! I'm about half way through Breaking Dawn now. I started it last night after I drove to the nearest bookstore open till 10:00pm after I finished Eclipse at 9:30. I'm addicted. It's like my own personal brand of heroin. That I happen to share with millions of other 19 year old girls.


P.S. Happy Birthday, Steve Martin!!! You continue to be the creepiest old man in entertainment!

Was he trying to lock that down? I can't blame him, but yeah... not so much at age 19.

ps: I love you, and I would gladly steal a blue french horn for you and/or make it rain.
