So I thought I would mention "The Breakup" since I just talked about the worst first date ever... and although I went out with this guy a few more times... it didn't last long though and we broke up in a weird way.
So- in high school "being facebook official" is a big thing... it probably still is. I remember people celebrating where their anniversaries are when they became facebook official instead of when they actually first went out... I don't know. We had sort of talked about this second date and if it meant we were boyfriend or girlfriend... and in my mind- he was kind of giving me the control with what to do with that. So I didn't really discuss it before putting up that I was in a relationship on facebook without really consulting with him... and this freaked him out because all of a sudden he was like "I just broke up with someone and I'm not ready to be in a relationship yet."
Seriously? I gave him a month after the first horrible trainwreck of a date. This time it was going okay... and it was really only a few months before I was going to college... and yes I didn't go that far away from college if I really wanted to visit him... but I didn't necessarily want to wait that long to be in an official relationship with him...and people had seen us together already- so I wanted to be like "Hey, everyone knew this already... but here!" So that was a bad choice on my part... but whatever. I wasn't really thinking of it all that seriously, I didn't think we'd be together forever... I just wanted people to understand that we were a thing. Sooooo... yeah.
Anyway that wasn't even the part of the breakup I really wanted to talk about... I just kind of wanted to be slightly unbiased and give the story of what I did wrong... because Kids: Don't do That... but also it made sense why I did that. Lol. But the real thing I want to talk about is the aftermath. So this happened when I was at a mall. So everyone was like "WHAT SHANNON'S IN A RELATIONSHIP?????" And everyone was happy for that and saying things about that and I don't think I could update my relationship status on my phone... but I did get to tell them "It's back to single... sorry guys." So... it was kind of like that. And that's embarrassing. So like I said- don't do that.
Anyway I was at a mall- it was via text message... so I just kind of wondered the mall and bought things and food. I remember I went to American Eagle and bought a necklace and a pair of earrings. At the time American Eagle was a little more expensive than I typically liked to spend on jewelry and stuff... But I really needed a pick me up and that was just what was right. It was sparkly and anytime I got a complement on them I would say "Oh thank you- They're my I Hate (Blank) Earrings! And everyone would laugh and remember that (Blank) is a big jerk.
I remember getting hash browns from Dunkin Donuts and I ended up not really wanting them because I was kind of full from lunch. And then I realized I should have considered the hashbrown's feelings if I ate them when I was already full from other food... and I also realized that I was the hashbrowns and that's why I felt bad. And then on my blog I used to have I actually wrote a blog about that and that's one of the earliest blogs I remember writing and probably the realest metaphor I ever wrote... so yeah! That's cool!
So that's about it. I feel like I sound pretty harsh on this guy... if he's reading this now I just kind of look back on this as a funny memory... so no harsh feelings. It's all good. I just look back on the past fondly I guess. I think of this more as a fun day with friends and a memory from High School that I can share and warn other people about... so yeah? I don't even really associate this with him- it's just an event that happened and he was there. So its not like I'm thinking of him- its not like I'm still hurt by him... but this is a thing that happened that I wanted to share cause maybe it will help someone. I don't know! This is what happens when you date a writer!
Bye!
