I've just spent an afternoon with a group of new acquaintances, watching the bloke I thought I really had some chemistry with for the past two months holding hand swith his brand-new girlfriend. And I can't even hate her, because she"s nice and funny not too different from me. Except that she's not a complete weirdo.

Now I'm at home in my cupcake jim jams, wolfing down a questionable tub of Mousse au Chocolait from teh very back of my fridge, secretly hoping for salmonella infection's sweet release as I weep into my grad school applications.

Maybe later, I'll pop in Pride and Prejudice to provoke a cleansing cry.

Like a boss.

You couldn't make this shit up. Except they frequently do.

That Grad School Application had better work out. It's high time that I skip this town.

Like how I'm catching up on journals? That's what I do--let crap pile up then SWOOP in like a... like a very late on the uptake person.

I just want to say--
I too mouth along and do the drum kick with my foot for that scene. I think we all do.

Fucking Bridget and her goddamn accuracy. Seeing INTO MY SOUL.

Been there, done that. It could not suck more. At least you have Colin Firth to console you, he always makes me feel better.

it's all good--I still think you're fabulous. Which means you have an international fan base. What does he have? Nothing. Nothing at all.

Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them... or canaries.
Honestly, sometimes they are just too dense for their own good. We've all been there unfortunately and its never pleasant.
Good way to go though, Pride and Prejudice, Bridget Jones. What do they have in common? Colin Firth. Ergo my conclusion is you will find your Colin Firth.

Ohhh and there is nothing wrong with being weird. Better than being a mindless sheep. So anyway, I drew you a little something... your very own Mr Darcy. :aww:

AND IT'S THE FRESH-FROM-THE-POND VERSION, TOO!

You're the best :)

Also, trufax: I just came home from killing some white wine with friends in our old favourite pub, we were playing hot-tub-time-machine and the following exchange happened:

Me:"Colin Firth."
Friend#1: "Surely the 1995 version."
Me: "Oh yeah."
Friend#1, Friend#2 and me in unison: "IN costume."

At which point friend#2 started quoting the first wedding proposal. Good times were had by all. We blamed the second bottle of wine.

The best bit obviously! You can blame the wine all you want, being a scientist I can tell you that wine chemically displays similar properties to that of truth serum. It releases chemicals into your synaptic cleft which have a similar structure to that of the neurotransmitter responsible for stopping the electrical signals in the brain allowing a person to lie. The chemicals released in wine bind to the active site on the post-synaptic membrane, temporarily causing a conformational change so the neurotransmitter can no longer bind, the electrical signals are not blocked therefore making it impossible to lie. This then brings me to the my final point that although you can blame the wine, what you said is the frickin' truth.

I would also like to point out that what I wrote above is utter bullshit. I've got science on the brains.
Seriously though have a major urge to watch P&P now...

Boys/men are stupid. End of story.

(And Pride and Prejudice is an amazing movie in situations like that :hug: )

Life gets better though! So...just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming! :fish:

Wow. That is not a good place to be, man. Not a good place. Give yourself 24 hours, mourn over this relationship, (one that was still technically a friendship so there's nothing to beat yourself up about being rejected) and get your butt up and back to the happier side of life.

But then again, I'm just a random girl on the internet. :shrug:
