I know I'm not a "regular" regular around here, so I won't recount the events of the past couple months (or, on a broader scale of beyond-relationship troubles, the past year), especially since it doesn't really have any interesting bits, like cheating or anything. ...But, suffice it to say that, much to my dismay (and a host of other positive and negative emotions), the relationship that I've spent the last three years orbiting my life around is officially over as of today. In short, my gorgeous, once-doting girlfriend went bye-bye.
This house is emptier than usual, with new naked spaces where her stuff once was... the silence just hangs there, even underneath any music or TV I have going... no one will go out to eat or shop or read my comics with me... the bed is empty... OK, sorry, pity party over.
I went out and got some pizza, a growler full of Scottish Ale from the local Skagit River Brewery (and a full case of Mike's Hard Lime at Costco, just for back-up ), and am determined to act on my right in this circumstance to drink heavily and alone for the night. ...Of course, I don't want to be totally alone, so will anyone hoist one for me tonight?
To start things off, I'm enjoying a nice 12 year single malt scotch, then (ok, I'm already there) it's the beer, then the Limes I have in the freezer if I have the fortitude.
Bottoms up, kids!
P.S.: Any girls in the Seattle area (which, because I do pay some attention here, I already know there are none), my aesthetic credentials (by which I mean, some so-so photos) are on display in the Men Show Yourselves thread. I work at Providence Hospital in Everett, WA, and I'm really sweet and cool. Take me home; amaze your friends and neighbors!
