"I'M the one who's just had a breakup"

It's perfectly natural and expected that after a breakup/death of a loved one/someone you care about converting to scientology you will feel sorry for yourself and mope around a fair bit. If you do so, I will offer understanding and sympathy.

What's not cool is using the title of this post as a way to imply that your feelings are somehow deeper or more valid than other people who have perhaps had more time to get over the breakup/death/scientology or never experienced it in the first place. If you do so, don't expect any extra sympathy from me. In fact, if you say it often enough then don't expect any sympathy from me at all. There's a difference between a natural mourning period, and using it as an excuse or constantly feeling the need to remind everyone that you're in pain.

some random thoughts for today:

1. You cannot protect someone who doesn't want to be protected. This particularly applies to trying to help people deal with their exes (and yes, this applies to several people i know, so no finger-pointing allowed)

2. I have a terrible phone manner. No matter how happy or enthusiastic i feel when i'm talking to someone i will invariably sound completely deadpan. I think my ex said it best when he asked me "did you know that when you answer the phone your voice drops two tones?". You'd think i would have learnt by now, after in Year 12 i answered the phone to talk to my SDD teacher at school, and she asked me whether i was alright.

3. Stupid mood swings.. yesterday i was by turns, hyper then pissed off/depressed until i managed to hyper myself again (took about an hour of me telling myself to stop being such an idiot and enjoy the time out with my friends). Now i am tired and somewhat out of it/depressed again, but its not a big problem since I am being antisocial and staying at home today.

Anyway, tomorrow is the zoo :) It's $5 entry for students for this month and by all accounts there'll be a few groups of us wandering around. Yay!
