--- Quote from: Barmymoo on 09 Jan 2013, 01:35 ---"Dating" isn't quite the same thing in the UK as it is in the US. People don't generally go on dates with lots of different people to see who they like best, although some probably do. It's generally used as a synonym for "going out", or "going steady" (that last one hasn't been said since about the 1970s though).

I certainly know when something almost certainly isn't going to last forever. Last time, there were two problems. The first one was that he wouldn't even say he was my boyfriend (massive red flag that I pretended would go away) and also he was violently atheist and couldn't deal with me being Christian. Not going to last. This time, the fact that he is 18 and I'm about to graduate and move away meant the odds were against us, and there were lots of little pinkish flags, if not one big red one, which meant I knew I liked him more than he liked me.

So I guess you can't know it will last forever. But you can know it won't, and so far I always have.

If anyone can sort out the bumps, lumps and rushes, you can. But then I also think you'll be prime minister.

Papersatan:
My State Senator (or someone in her office anyways) wrote me back.  I sent her a hand written letter last month about the various anti-abortion bills, and how they made Michigan a less apealing place for me to look for jobs after graduations.   I also emailed her a copy of the letter I sent to the governor last week.

While most of her reply was likely copied and pasted from her talking points on the issue, one of the first paragraphs indicates both letters were read and linked to me as their single author:


--- Quote ---I appreciate the time you took not only to share your personal perspective with me on this issue, but also to respond to Governor Snyder regarding his reasons for signing this bill. I am sorry to hear that recent events have made you question your decision to become a Michigander, but I hope that you will choose to stay and work with those of us who refuse to give up in our fight against this war on women.

That is nice, though I expect no such acknowledgement from the governor.

Barmymoo:
Haha I am not going to be prime minister! I would be terrible in politics, I'd always go for the decision that seemed nicest and then we'd run out of money.

I haven't a clue what the bumps, lumps and rushes are. But I would probably organise them, label them, categorise them and make a spreadsheet of them if I did.

I'm feeling less bad today (in that I only cried twice, and only had to physically prevent myself from crying a few times, instead of every couple of minutes). I ducked out of choir dinner, which almost everyone else has gone to, because I need some time where I can drop the front and be honest about how I'm feeling. I don't want to break down and cry in front of everyone, including the xBoy, because it would be embarassing and awkward and everyone would gossip about me when I left.

We spoke very briefly this afternoon when I returned some stuff he'd left in my room. Then I bumped into the chaplain who asked how my Christmas had been, and I started crying again. The chaplain suggested I should talk to xB about the breakup but I'm not really sure what needs to be said. I'm feeling sad, I knew he was going to break up with me and I think I know why, it's fairly amicable and hopefully soon I'll be able to speak to him without crying.

Welu:
Don't feel quite right tonight. Head's kind of light. Kind of feel like I'm about to cry and/or going to fall asleep any moment. Think it's anxiety but usually my stomach goes into knots if it's anxiety.

Bluesummers:
Have you eaten/drank fluids normally today?if that's not the cause, try some slow, deep breaths. Take your pulse if possible...if it's elevated or lowered more than about 30% from your normal resting rate, call your physician.
