Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about it. ~Jacques Prevert
I am that calm, cool and collected girl that I was a few months ago. I am fascinated by the way that one changes in the course of a relationship. I would consider myself the sort that is happy to be me. It is amazing the simple things that change along the way with someone else. Nothing really major. Small, tiny little things that I have missed. I went up to the canyon with B and her family this weekend. It was absolutely gorgeous and so much fun. Why had it been so long since I have gone anywhere with my second family? I am not blaming Philly, I put the entire blame on myself. I changed, I didn't even realize it and really neither did anyone else. Least of all him. Or perhaps he did? Who really knows and the origin is not the important part. The important part is that I have noticed it and hope that it won't happen again.
My Mother and I have a constant battle going. Nothing real big, just a difference in opinion. I tell her that I won't settle. She says that I have too in order to be in a relationship. She thinks that settling and compromising are the same thing. I will compromise, I will not settle. To me there is a huge difference.
A few of my friends are waiting for me to have a break down. I just don't feel like it. I really mean that, I am just not feeling sad about being dumped. Even though to my and T's knowledge this is the first time it has happen. D5 is sure that I have a heart of solid ice and that I will have a melt down soon. (BTW He and I are much, much better as just friends.) He texts everyday to see if I am alright. Seriously I am.
T and R are trying to set me up with this new guy in town, RC. I have been trying to tell them that unlike them I am actually just fine on my own for a while, or longer. RC is cute as hell, but my state of mind right now is nothing serious an I would more than likely have a good time with him and then toss him aside. Not tooting my own horn or anything I just know me. I'm good to be just me.-V

I prefer dogs. They never leave and sometimes they'll even hump your leg if you treat them nice.

The sad thing is that I used to have a dog. The thing that didn't work for me is that they he needed constant attention. I finally gave him away because I felt bad that I was never home. Maybe that is my problem with men too?-V
