Choice II

I do know that... eh sometimes what looks like a choice, it's not really a choice at all.

-Raines

Is It Just Me...

or has it always been an existensial pack of lies?

Space, the Final Frontier

Together

In this life or next, we will be together.

-Lost

Thank the Lord, for Small Mercies

Well I'll be damned, that was actually far less painful than I'd anticipated.

Perspective

Just when I thought I couldn't possibly miss her more...

Whispers of our Muses

Started out as a small joke and turned into an enormous one.

Run... run like the wind!

She dropped you like a bad habit, sorry I didn't bring THAT up!

Lovely to see you, when will you be leaving.

Schadenfreude

"We were only 2 numbers away!"

That's what a well meaning co-worker uttered after the office pool did not win, again. I had to smile, my arrogant, disdainful "I'm glad I didn't put my money in the pot" smile.

I wasn't happy that they didn't win; I was glad that I hadn't lost my five bucks. Of course logic would dictate that had they won, I would have been none too pleased with my abstinence, so in essence I was rooting for them to lose.

I guess I kind of envy that misguided eternal hope, bordering on delusion. To have that much faith and optimism to decry being so close.

Maybe I'm just 2 numbers away too.

Hey, ... it's me

Put on the charm, he's got women issues.

No Se

That's just too many I don't know's.

-The Class

If only...

If only one could somehow capitalize on self-pity...
