This is Me Getting On With My Life
by Scott Hardie on March 4, 2007
Any advice for a newly single guy? After five months, Denise and I are no longer seeing each other. I won't get into the causes out of respect for her point of view; let's just say she and I each wanted the other to behave differently and it wasn't going to happen. When the end came a week ago, I was terribly distraught over it, but now I know it's the right thing and I'm moving on. I wish her well.

I'm sorry to hear it. I'm glad it's something you can accept as the right thing though. I guess it's better to end things sooner rather than later if you know they're not going to work. Still painful though, I am sure.

Scott, sorry to hear about the terrible loss to my blog readership. :P Now who will read about my medical problems and mental issues?!
But, seriously, it's always hard to break up, but there is, I think, some consolation that it seems that it wasn't a horrible ugly break up. Or maybe it was...that would be not so good. I'm not good with words for occasions like this, so I will resort to my default reaction:
*warm fuzzies*

It was a horribly ugly break-up, but it has the upside of being over now. Thanks, everybody, for the kindness.

Aw, Scott, I'm sorry. That bites. Nothing more can be said, really. =(

"Stupid Bitch! What do you mean I can't commit? I've got my share of restraining orders!" - Steve after his last break-up.
Seriously, I have dicovered this about myself. Although I am mostly content by myself, I flourish when I am part of something. I'm one of those guys who loves being in love. And even the rockiest relationship I ever had was the best while it was happening. All that being said, you can compromise on almost anything in any relationship, but you cannot (must not) compromise yourself.

So sorry that I can't say much here without a good cry to go with, except... sorry, Scott.
(Except also that, Steve, you make me laugh an uneasy but/and empathetic laugh... And Erik, I'm not sure which is worse, either, but don't feel like you're missing out on too much, bro.)

Amen.
I don't intend to stay single for long, but I do want to give myself proper time to get over this.

Doppelgänger
I saw myself at the grocery. Tall, fat, shaved head, black collared shirt, black slacks, black leather shoes. I caught up to myself and muttered "I like the look" with a wink, and myself smiled, then myself's girlfriend saw us together and laughed. Go »Gothic Conclusion
Gothic Earth was played for the last time on April 14, finally completing a long campaign that I was worried at times would wind up abandoned before we could finish it. You can read the entire storyline now. I'll leave the website online through August 31. Go »Good Company and Busy Nights
Highlights from my last two weeks, in no particular order: - Miah Poisson, his fiancée Ines, and her friend Denise have always wanted to see The X Files, and it just so happens I have the complete series on DVD. We've started getting together every Monday night to watch a couple of episodes and eat sandwiches. I'm taking the opportunity to do something I wanted to do the first time I watched the series, which is keep a kill-count. Go »Trekkers Will Understand
The Netflix summary of Deep Space Nine (Season Two): "Commander Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) heads the crew of Deep Space Nine -- including Odo (Rene Auberjonois), Worf (Michael Dom), Dax (Terry Farrell) and others -- as it travels through space, trying to keep both the ship and the areas it travels safe, secure and free. One of the first (and greatest) challenges the intrepid voyagers face is the violence of the Dominion, a group composed partially of the shape-shifting Changelings." Gee, I wonder why fans call this the most misunderstood of all Star Trek series. Go »Twit
