Weirdo.
I seem to remember some meme for naming all the weird things about ourselves. It's late and I can't sleep (too hot!), so this is what I'll do.
1. Scared to look in a mirror at night, in the dark. Just don't know what I'll see. This draws from many many years of slumber party "Bloody Mary" incantations.
2. Have to sleep so the insides of my knees don't touch.
3. Obsessed with efficiency of motion while lathering up during the shower. Down one side, up the other, switch cloth to other hand, etc etc.
4. I hate $20 bills.
5. Used to have an OCD-style habit of clenching my teeth before and after every mailbox or street, while riding in the car.
6. When I smoke novelty cigarettes, have obsession with having too much spit in my mouth.
7. I never finish the crust, but always leave at least a very little piece.
8. One guys used to bite my heel and I loved it.
9. When I was in high school I had a medical thing called Geographic Tongue.
Cripes, is that all I can think of? I am certainly more of a weirdo than that.
10 Comments:
so, did the geography take any particular shape? you could've really had a little taste of italy.
Funny but novelty cigarettes tend to dry my mouth out.
I am afraid to WebMD the geographical tongue. Wonder what a google search would turn up?
I rarely if ever comment on blogs but here goes:
I ran across your blog while browsing blogs much like your own.I have read all the posts.I tend to ignore the comments by other readers because they almost always come from people who are in situations worse than the blogger or seem to enjoy promoting some type of behavior, and/or in some degree not in touch with reality.
I realize there are two sides to every story but you choose to tell yours. From it, I will comment the following:
I feel sorry for your son, ex-husband and yourself in that order. That a boy has lost contact with his father, sad a marriage broke up and sad that a person was cheated on.
Sad that if your ex knows about the cheating (or probably knows at some level) that his love and trust were utterly crushed by someone he loved.
Sad for him that in a second his world crashed and changed forever and he has to go through the process of recovery-maybe never to be the same.
Sad for you and your son that you may not actually care.
Sad that at some level your behavior and attidues will ooze out and effect your son as he grows up. "Once a cheater, always a cheater"--attitudes like this become generational. How will he treat women in the future?
Your husband: I do not like to quote sex and the City since I have seen two episodes only but at some point "he is just not into you". at some point for some reason he lost interest.I have no insight into your relationship--maybe he found out he was being cheated on-maybe in denial, maybe some other reason. Maybe he found someone else and made an emotional connection-maybe they were providing something you refused or could not.
Sad for the guy you will end up with--that he will always be thinking in the back of his mind--"am I being cheated on."
I realize marriages break up for many reasons- but I think every spouse deserves the respect not to be cheated on and lied to. Be honest, get divorced-go on with your life-but it is inhumane to torture a spouse with that behavior-not to mention your son. What do you think he is going to say when he finds out mommy cheated on daddy?
To end- I am sorry if you feel offended-I am not trying to judge--just my comments.
anonymous: I'm sad that you draw breath that you don't deserve. You don't know shit. Shut your fucking hole and listen to people, you might one day learn enough to actually have something worthwhile to say.
To recap: Do the world a favor and fucking go kill yourself.
Yeah . . . what Gadfly said . . .
For someone "not trying to judge," you're doing a pretty good job of it. For myself, I rarely if ever comment on anyone else's comment, especially one so uninformed and signed, gutlessly, "anonymous." I hope you never have to struggle through a relationship the way Wry and (unfortunately) so many others have had to, but until you do, it would be of much greater service to all, including yourself, if you keep your self-righteous "sadness" to yourself.
Sorry, Wry, but it wouldn't be vacation if we didn't come home to a bunch of crappy e-mails, now would it? All the best, girlfriend.
XOXO
Hi Mom! So glad you dropped by. Tell Dad I said hi.
Lol . . .
XO
By the way, I'll take your $20s, if you're not using them . . .

gad-advocating violence online is just not attractive and tends to come back and haunt you in the worst ways in the future.
Be quiet and listen to what? I do not think the message is a particularly happy one.
I do get it- bad relationship, bad person or persons, dysfunctional relationship, depression, hopeless feeling, people intentionally trying to emotionally harm another- so disturbing that eventually the pain of leaving is less than staying.
In more general terms I am "sad" to see this common scene play out time after time. In my line of work I see it all the time-although alcohol and drugs are usually involved.
Sad of seeing kids weeping in school or at friends house, people doing the same at work, turning to drugs and alcohol to kill the pain-while their personal lives spin out of control.
The worst suffers/victims are the children.
No easy solution-if we had it, we would not be writing about this.
I just wish that we all had more respect for the people in our lives--that could prevent many of our problems. Cheating is not respect nor is many of the things that happened to both in this case.
I hope everyone finds the peace they are seeking. Godspeed wrygirl and the bloggers here.
I leave you for good with a quote from Jerry Springer
"Take care of yourselves and each other"."
IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!
What a retarded, limp-wristed argument on the complexity of a breakup of two human beings.
Again, the guy who actually knows how to tell goat shit from cow shit -- he's one's up on you.
YOU
DON'T
KNOW
SHIT!
You have no knowledge, no wisdom, no reason to continue breathing the oxygen that could be used by actual sentient human beings, or other fauna with an actual purpose on this planet.
Seriously. Find a very high place. Jump off.
Destiny forgot to give you a reason. Sometimes things like you get lost in God's paperwork. It sucks, but just do the world a favor and lay on the train tracks. Be sure to dress in dark clothing.
