Yeah, dang, that is LOW. The worst I had heard of before was when my brother and his girlfriend broke up (mutually, actually) WHILE HAVING SEX. But that is sad. However, as they all said, KARMA.

How the hell did that even work? Are you sure it was, you know, actively during sex, and not shortly after or some such?

Maybe it turned into a grudge fuck, which can be awesome.

Dude. Breaking up while fuck*ng? That is totally against the rules. I dunno... when I met my ex-fiance a few days after he broke it off, I made DAMN SURE that we met at a coffee shop. Otherwise things would not have ended so cleanly. Plus, meeting in public guaranteed that I couldn't get all violent on his bitch ass. *sigh*

The more that I think about these past few weeks, the more I appreciate the situation. I would much rather just never get married at all, rather than have to go through a divorce later. And obviously we were not meant for each other. And clearly, there is a better job out there somewhere for me.

I'm also really glad that it happened when it did. If I had gotten fired earlier, he might have been reluctant to break it off. *shrug* It was rough, but I'm glad that I'm getting on with it.

Yup. Certainly never broken up during.
Just before yes, but then when that happens it's never quite a breakup that lasts. Well, no it did, the breakup went on for a good few months...

Seriously though, it sounds like it could end up being quite liberating.
The way things have gone, and are going for me, recently... Well, everything's changing, going tits up, whatever, and there's not a lot I can do but roll with it and try and end up somewhere I'm content with.
Various friendships, and relationships seem to be trying to tear themselves apart at the moment, but I got my guitar and some more mics, and probably looking for a new place to live.

Bah, like Jough I'm rambling...

Yea...

As for on topic, my weight loss is going well. It's not supposed to be, but for the last  hours I have been completely unable to sleep, and for the last month I have been unable to eat properly.
So I ought to be incorporeal before you know it.

Yeah.. I know it's still unpleasant, but this guy sounds like someone who wouldn't exactly be conducive to a happy marriage anyway. It's probably best things ended then.

Best wishes for a new job and a new guy; you deserve both.

Jesus, Linnea, that's brutal.  You sound like you're dealing with it all very well, though, and that's pretty impressive.  Same goes for Slink, of course.  Glad I'm still in the halcyon adolescent bliss of entirely meaningless relationships.  (Not to say that that magisterium is entirely limited to those of my age, but you get the idea)

Yeah, I hear y'all. No, it was most definitely during. Like, they had broken up a week before, but had decided to "give it another try." So they went to a movie, went to dinner, had a real awkward time, came back to my brothers place and commenced to make it. About halfway through, my brother is like, "This isn't working." And the girl was like, "Yeah." And he pulled out and she got dressed and left.
Right now things seem to be fucked up all over right now, but I'm sure we'll all be in better places by, say, New Years?

Yep. My pa was a golf course architect at one point during his career. I used to caddy for him when I was a kid. I'm certainly no damn good at the particular game of golf, but I enjoy going to the driving range, and I'd like to have my own set of clubs.

Aw jeez.  Not that long, please?

Linnea, my miseries at the moment, which I thought were pretty bad, pale in comparison to yours, but I have one piece of advice:  Unemployment insurance.  I never got it before, and it's pretty cool.  Go get yourself some if you're eligible.  Not only do you get money for (almost) nothing, but I'm told it's just like regular insurance - your old company's payments into the system go up when they have more ex-employees making claims.  So you can feel a nice little bit of revenge with each check. It's a small thing but at this kind of time in your life you have to get what you can from the small things.

So yeah. To drag this thread, kicking and screaming, back on-topic.

Piccies! Yay weight loss!

I don't have any digital photos of me at my heaviest, which was 195 (DAMN).

Here is a picture of me gettin' pretty close, though. I would estimate that at the time of this photograph I was 180 pounds, size 16. The fuck*ng loser at my side is my ex-fiance, JT. That photo was taken in October 2002.



And here is a photograph that I took today. I got a really cute skirt and top (on sale, for cheap). Since Ms. Dunston posted such a fabulous photo of her in a red skirt, I thought I'd have to go that route. In this photograph I am 155 pounds and a size 12. Sorry for the blurriness and general shittitude of the photo. I was trying to take pictures of myself, and I had to turn off the flash.

For the record:

You're cute in both shots.

JT sort of looks like a knob, though that may just me speaking from what I know of him now.

Whoa, yeah. Knob City. Linnea, I don't want you to take this as an indirect stab at your Special Thoughts and Ideas regarding the opposite sex, but holy something we are like boxcar hobos stowed away on the express train to Squaresville here. Did this dude own any coffee table books that were just pages and pages of photographs of knives or something?

Also the new haircut makes all the difference, in my completely uninformed and unsolicited opinion.

UNINFORMED! UNSOLICITED! THESE ARE OPINIONS TOO HOT TO SHOW YOU IN THIS COMMERCIAL SO ORDER NOW
