Good days and bad days...

[vashti]

Really? Aren't you kind of young to have been an anchorman?

[Mathias]

Really? Aren't you kind of young to have been an anchorman?

Yes, and apparently I wasn't.

[Junket]

Yes, and apparently I wasn't.

Or maybe you were...and that's why they FIRED YOU!

[Mathias]

Or maybe you were...and that's why they FIRED YOU!

Hahahaha.

Actually, better stations wanted to hire me. I wanted to go to grad school.

Screw them.

[Mathias]

By the way, despite the things that are wrong with me right now...being single kind of kicks ass. I'm pretty close to having a FWB deal, and I've gotten three phone numbers in the past month, including a grade school teacher's. Seriously...that's been on the list for YEARS.

This is going to be a fun year.

Please remember that stands for ****ing Weird Bullshit.

Put down those matches, Mathias!

Hahahaha.

I've played with fire for four years, why stop now?

[Gigabitch]

If the black fingertips and roasting-Mathias smell isn't enough of an indication, you're not going to listen anyway, so

[Junket]

Be careful with those FWB's.

I stress.

BE CAREFUL WITH THOSE FWB'S.

[Mathias]

Yeah, Mathias is kind of edging backwards from that. Casual dating might be in action soon, though.

[Mathias]

Good days lately. Getting out, having fun...and not thinking about it.

Rehashing that story really got to me, though. That was intense...and I think it caused most of the emotion I've been feeling lately. Again, it's not about her...it's about me. I know that, and strangely, that helps. I know I can change myself.

Now, the question is how.

[Mathias]

So, why haven't I posted in a week?

I'm damn well near over it. I don't wake up upset anymore, I don't have trouble sleeping, and I rarely think about it.

It's amazing. The last long relationship I was in took me about 4-5 months to get to this point, and that only lasted a little more than a year. The difference? This time, I didn't sulk. I went out, I reconnected with friends, and I decided that I wasn't going to put up with being unhappy.

That's made every difference in the world.

[King Zarathu]

I love tits.

[Mathias]

I love tits.

You're ruining the moment, dick.

[Gigabitch]

::Looks polietly back to Mathias::

You were saying... oh, yes. About not sulking. I think it's a good thing to practice in general, and especially impressive to pull off during post-breakup. I don't know if I could pull it off.

You may be putting some of it aside to process later, which I think might be a good idea. You'll have a very different prespective next year, anyway. I predict the next time you fall in love with someone, some of this breakup crap might rise to the surface. It'll be a good time to throw it out.
