giving up on some things, moving onto others.

UPDATES:

Poll Of The Moment removed due to possible bandwidth usage and adware problems

Well, firstly, I guess I should extend my sincerest apology for the site being down for the past while. I somehow managed to exceed my bandwidth limit for the month (which is quite large, I can assure you!), so the site went down for a few days. My bandwidth limit is renewed every month, so if this happens again, just wait till the end of the month, and the website will be working again.
Once again, sorry about this!

In other news, I'm sure some of you are curious as to what has been happening in our latest instalment of what I not-so-affectionately dub, "The Ex Files." Basically, I've given up on him. I'm fed up with putting up with his shit, and I'm pretty sure he's fed up with mine. I have let myself be hurt by him too much. It's making me unhealthy; physically, mentally, and emotionally. I don't want to have to deal with that anymore. I want to be back to the way I was before my life was cursed by him. Now the curse has been lifted - and I can move on. Simple, eh?
Yes, it's hard. But life is hard sometimes. And if there's anything I've learned from this, it's that it's definitely not fair.

When we met up the day we split, he asked me if I wanted to punch him. To tell you the truth, had I possessed a bit more strength in me at the time, I would have whacked him so hard his nose would have come out of the back of his head in a shower of blood. But, you want my honest thoughts? I'm not a violent person these days. I prefer not to vent my anger by physically hurting other people. Oh no, I am a gentle soul.

I do it with words.
It's harsh, I know, but I enjoyed it. Now I can move on, hmm?

Starting with my friends. It's been ages since I've even seen some of their faces. Figured it was about time I swallowed my pride, picked up the phone and gave some of them a ring. So Abi and I are meeting up in town, and after that, I'm going to my friend Adam's house to visit him. :) On Thursday, me, Adam and Michelle are hopefully goin' into town, and on Friday, I'm doing a "dinner date" with Annika. My friends are awesome. The ones who haven't decided to drop off the face of the earth, anyway - you know who you are. *glares*

My family, too. Once you've shunned your family, you truly have nothing - why lose what little excuse for a family I have, anyway?! I've pretty much ignored them since my life became troubled with the trials and tribulations of this past relationship. Now I can start spending more time with them. Starting with talking to my mother when she gets home from work tonight/when I get back from Adam's (depending on what happens, and how late I stay - we have a LOT to catch up on!) and today I'm meeting my brother in town for a little while to give him the dog to take for a walk. She needs one. She's looking at me with sad, brown puppy Labrador eyes. Can you resist that?!

Oh, and I have nothing to fear on the man front. Seems I've already got tons of interest... ...but I'm gonna try take things slow. ;)
