Teacher's Pet Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Wow.. It's been a while since I made a long post. The last few weeks have been pretty rough for me, emotionally. It's really been the proverbial "rollercoaster ride". I joined an area "networking group" (thanks to Jennifer), and have made a whole bunch of great new friends (it turns out, one of them is a poster here!). I've gone out with my new "clique" several times now, and have had lots of fun.... we go bowling, out to eat, karaoke... ...and tonight we shot pool. Thinking back to tonight's "event", I realized that I've found another small piece of the "closure" that I've been so desperately looking for. Those of you who have been following my "soap opera" know Thursdays were when B and I would shoot pool. It was always a fun night..we'd hang out, shoot pool..and go back to her place for a "nightcap". Since our breakup, every Thursday night, I've sat around wondering if she's still shooting pool like she did...or with whom.....and if he's better than me...better looking..... better in bed...... Tonight, I shot pool with REAL friends. I had a lot of laughs, got rubbed up against MANY times by a very cute friend of mine, who even tried to flash me to make me miss (it worked).....and got squeezed and spanked a few times, too. (I play to win, people!) Suddenly, Pool = B was not a valid equation. It was another reminder that I have GOOD, REAL people in my life again (hi Jenn!) that care about me, and want me in their lives. It's a great feeling. As I was telling Jennifer just a little while ago... I'll take 1 real friend like her over 100 B's any day. B gave me lots (ok, and lots AND LOTS....AND LOTS) of sex. My friends give me lots of happiness and hope. Which would you choose? I chose hope. -tp 4 months, 19 days not of loneliness....but of NEW memories. 4 months, 22 days of self-gratification.
allina Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 I'm happy for you tp. I think realizing that there is closeness and fun out there is key. Keep it up
KittenMoon Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Real friends are a wonderful thing, better, at least in my opinion, than sex. Even good sex. If we're lucky, we get to have sex with our best friend. THAT'S the jackpot, but until then, good friends can help fill in the time wonderfully.
silentcharon Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Sex and Friends don't mix, in my experience
Ssheena Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Choose life! (sorry, got a Trainspotting moment there). Seriously, that's great TP. It's those brief moments of gee, life isn't so bad and I'm not actually thinking about that big pink elephant in the corner - oh I mean my X, that do make it easier to go forward. It sounds like you had a really great time! Keep up the good work.
