Right now I am missing you and the phone call you are supposed to be returning to me tonite. Again, I am left here to contemplate the possible motives for my being stood up. The misery is in the wondering... Here are a few possibilities I have dreamt up for tonite's communication blackout:
- You are with Peter (Puffer).
- You are with some other guy.
- You are really buried with homework (unlikely as you would still call to say you can't talk)
- It is a mind game you are playing to make me call you again and again. These repetitive calls make me appear pathetic. In appearing pathetic, you get to have the security that I do still care about you quite a bit, while you don't even care enough to give me a call back. This scenario repeated, gives you a sense of having the upper hand.
- You truly do not like talking to me.
- You truly do not want to like talking to me, since it could lead other previously explored avenues.
- You do not care what I have been up to.
- You care too much to hear about anything that I have been up to.
- You don't believe that any good can come from talking to me ever again.
- You don't believe that any good can come from talking to me right now.
- You don't believe that any good can come from talking to me under current circumstances because you think that the topic is going to turn heavy and you do not and will not ever have anything to say that you think I would want to hear in a heavy conversation.
- You don't believe that any good can come from talking to me under current circumstances because you think that the topic is going to turn heavy and you do not have anything you can say right now that you wouldn't consider damaging to possible options in the future.
- You can't handle talking to me yet.
- You'll never be able to handle talking to me.
- You asked your friends if it was a good idea to call me back and they said "no."
- You know that when you don't call back I sit and think of things like this and become irritated and you are therefore using the lack of communication to settle a score with me by passively letting me know that you do not care about me anymore.
- You would really like to talk to me, but refuse to send a false message that you still harbor feelings. You feel as though calling me back would send me that false message and you don't want to hurt me anymore.
- You still love me and are scared that I don't love you anymore and you are scared to find out about it if that is the case.
- Talking to me makes you sad.
- Talking to me makes you mad.
- Talking to me makes you happy, but you don't want to be happy as a result of me anymore.
- Talking to me usually results in something coming up that makes you nauseous.
- There is nothing to say.
- There is so much to say that you could not even begin to get the energy together to start talking about it. (this assumes conversation gets heavy)
- You don't want to call and risk conversation getting heavy.
- You don't want to call and not have a heavy conversation because you believe that anything less than heavy is bullshit.
- You think that I am trying to play mind games with you and you aren't having it.
- You fear that I might ask you how your romantic life is going. That question drives you up a wall because you don't know what to say because:
o It is wonderful
o It is horrible
o It is nonexistent
o You don't want me to know because you think that if you told me how wonderful it was, it would upset me.
o You don't want me to know because you think that if you told me how shitty it was, I would be given some sort of upper hand.
o You don't want me to know because you don't know if you might ever want to try us again and my knowing about things now will complicate the possibility of that option in the future. (taking into account my reaction to discovering that Peter slept over sometimes, this stance is justifiable, at least in a historical sense)
- You really don't know why. You just don't want to talk to me.
- You want me to take the hint and leave you alone.
- You want me to pursue you despite difficulty and therefore satisfy your desire to be pursued (something you said I did not do for you the first time around.)
- You don't think we can ever get back together or ever be friends, so why even try?
- Your boyfriend gets pissed.
- You're in jail.
- You have been kidnapped by an armed band calling themselves "The descendents of the Spanish Conquistadores."
- You went Amish and Uncle Jeb told you that phones are evil.
- You're dead.
- This list could go on forever since there are a million others...............
-------this is from summer of 2003 and a very nasty breakup with a very lovely girl we'll call DD. Interestingly enough, I am currently going through a similar situation with another lovely young lady. I knew this was on my hard drive. I opened it to read it. I decided to put it on here.

Caul, I take it back. It doesn't suck to be you nearly as much as it sucks to be this guy.

I am always embarrassed by any past bitterness. You look back at it and think 'Christ, am I really that whiney?'
I don't know that bitterness is the right word, but I think I understand what you are getting at. It IS embarassing revisiting mindsets like this one. I'm fascinated that I was thinking some similar things last night. Reading this was really helpful, as the voice I wrote it in ground on me like nails on a chalkboard. Having the situation that this email refers to behind me (and concluded well) makes me realize how ridiculous it is to drive myself up a wall with anxious thought-patterns.
I didn't think this would get ripped open quite as badly as it has, as I thought maybe someone would appreciate the fact that I didn't write it for Uber. I'm not going to defend it as some marvel of literary prowess. That's never what it was supposed to be.

She obviously doesn't want to be with someone who is emotionally beneath her. Either that or she was distracted by something shiny. In any case, it's safe to assume that you mean nothing to this person, which in turn can only really be looked at as a reflection on your own worthlesness.
Perhaps now would be a good time to think about hobbies for a single person.

I saw this on Faggy Fag theatre.
Not that I WATCH Faggy Fag theatre.
I was just channel surfing, and I saw an ad for this real cool razor, and when it was over, they went right back to Faggy Fag theatre without any teaser or warning or "New at 11" thing or anything like that.
DON'T JUDGE ME!

It was good.
And where the fuck in the "ubersite rules" does it say you shouldnt post sentimental stuff?
If you dont like reading that type of stuff then just move on to another article, you knew what this article was after the first line. If its not in your Genra then fuck off... dont post it as sucky because its not what you like....man that shits starting to piss me off about ubersite, people that like comedy will post shitty remarks on sentimental/short storys, and people that like sentimental/short storys will post shitty remarks on comedy.
Stick to your Genra and dont be biased about other Genras. If it is in your Genra and you didnt like it for certian reason then by all means, go ahead and rate it.

Sentiment is fine. But this truly is not the place for it.

I think she's not calling because she just read this...
HINT HINT!
(Seriously... stop thinking about it so much. The more you terrorise yourself with your own thoughts, the more likely they are to come true. The mind has a way of pointing you in the right direction when you believe a particular outcome to be the most likely. So believe something nice, K? )
