I Never Got Over It...

[Gigabitch]

Somebody stole my Specialized S-Works mountain bike in 1997 and I never got over it.

What did you never get over?

[misombra]

SWINE he is. mf'ing swine.

Leaving my tangerine tree my dad bought me for Christmas 5 years ago. We planted it in my backyard. I sold the house and we moved into an apartment, I had nowhere to put it.

I can't honestly think of anything I haven't gotten over that is similar to the kinds of things being posted.

crad to another customer at taverna opas last weekend.

Yeah, me too. I have things I can't get over, but these aren't very materialistic. Maybe only that I quit driving school after a while, I had paid great money for it...

The 'lil black punks that ran off with the stolen Sony PSP while I was working at GameStop. I almost had them, and they grabbed it and ran.

I would've loved to have gotten their asses handed to the police so that the cycle of hardship could begin.

Wow.. Giga.. really throwing the hard questions out there..

I know for sure one thing I never got over was my first ex.., no.. I don't love her or anything.. that's not what I mean.. I just never got over how things were and what I went through.. I guess it's interesting that most people who have been cheated on in the past are afraid of their new partner cheating on them.. but that's not at all what she left me with.. I never even thought about the people i've been with after her ever cheating on me.. It was more about how she was someone I would have done anything for.. how I had all that respect for her.. all that love for her.. and on top of using and abusing it just to see how much she could get me to do for her.. she actually went back to her ex.. showing zero respect for how I felt.. like it didn't even matter.. And I guess that till this day.. it's left me pretty cold.. not able to really allow myself to get that deeply involved with someone on such an emotional level again..

I was talking about this with Goose the other day actually.. it's funny how Giga started a thread on it.. I told him that I listen to Cat Stevens' "The First Cut is the Deepest" just before I go out to Ludlow Street for the night.. and he pointed out why he thinks that is.. and I think he's right.. It's almost like every night before I go out to meet someone new.. I have to remind myself of what I never got over.. "I would have given you all of my heart.. but there's someone who's torn it apart.. and i've given all that I have.. but if you want i'll try to love again.. baby i'll try to love again but I know.. the first cut is the deepest..".. I remember how great it felt like to actually be deeply in love with someone.. and now that I think about it.. I can't say that I ever felt anywhere close to that with anyone after what I went through with her.. It's one thing to have your bike taken away from you.. and it's one thing to have your ability to get emotionally involved with someone taken away from you..

Thanks Giga.. you've just given me something new to work on and put some serious thought into..

Best,

You got picked on?

What for?

[Gigabitch]

For being too adorable, I bet.

I never got over having to leave my Spirograph behind when we moved away from NY when I was five.

[bluesummer]

I'm with Shorty, I never have gotten over how I was treated in school.

So much so, that I'm not going to my 10 yr reunion this year. There's maybe one or two people I actually care about seeing, the rest are a bunch of assholes.

I was this awkward kid who liked the Beatles in 5th grade ... I had transferred to a new school and everyone knew each other for years ... kids are weak.
