What's on Your Mind

Anybody on here into a solid Manhattan perverted with a twist of orange?

Me? I prefer a double with Knob Creek repeated as needed.

Is a double a full juice glass or a tea glass where you live?

Knob Creek is my backup when I can't get Bookers.

Wish I could have a drink but I'm one of those who dare not. Experience. Anyway, see the psychiatrist today about meds.

the realization that i made the right call by going back to college. it hasn't sunk in till just these last few days. i had my doubts about this whole thing and i wasn't sure i could switch back into the whole college environment and lifestyle...but it wasn't even half as bad as i'd imagined it to be. and i'm glad i did it. i'm not gonna throw away my studies.

On my mind is that my ex outed me to my brother and when I requested that I be the one to come out to the rest of my family she became quite angry with me.

I am sorry that happened Shannon...I am assuming the nature of your relationship with the ex has taken a turn? Are you still friends? (It's OK if you don't want to talk about it...I was just surprised.... and curious)

Yeah...me too. No drinks....bad idea

I have a guy who has convinced me to do a facebook page for my business coming this afternoon...

I hope I don't regret it. He is a very cool guy...I like him and his fiancé a lot...but I HATE Facebook with a passion so it is going to be interesting....I am not going to put my last name at all in the listing because I do not want anyone contacting me about anything other than the business.

Thank you for your interest East, I appreciate that. Things are tenuous between her and I from time to time. I've bent over backwards to give her exactly what she wants but things are not working out as she planned. As a result, not only does she blame me for our failed marriage (and rightfully so), but she also blames me for the things that aren't going her way. The latest issue revolves around the whole coming out issue. She believes that if she lets me come out on my own terms, she's making life easier for me. So telling people - if they ask her - is easier for her than telling them to ask me directly.

She moved back to the mainland in the beginning of August but the couple of months before that were amazing. I really felt that we reconnected and reinvented our relationship. I guess that wasn't the case. Either she was swallowing how she felt or her hurt was renewed as soon as she left. Regardless, we both recently agreed that we may have romanticized the type of friendship we wanted and have since accepted that it might not be as "Will and Grace" as we had hoped.

I know that type of a relationship wouldn't necessarily have been healthy, I know that it was wishful thinking, and I know it was birthed out of co-dependence (that was for any readers desiring to throw up a plethora of philosophical thoughts trying to "explain" things to me).

To sum it all up; no, the friendship isn't what I had hoped. But I'm confident that as time passes, we will learn to have an amicable friendship even though we won't be "besties".
