I can't believe this was only on the second page of private. Do we have nothing better to talk about that annoying newbies and my love life?
Anyway, I think today is the day I'm finally over the whole thing. I had a revelation today and I feel so good for it. It feels almost God sent.
Just to fill you in (Kendra will know all this already), for the past few months I've been occasionally getting drunk and being totally honest with Lou. And I mean, totally honest. Quite predictably (although I couldn't see it at the time) this has scared her off totally. In fact, I'd be surprised if she ever talks to me again (except she still talks to me on MSN). I've been besotted with her, and stupidly, I've let her know that.
Anyway, today something really odd happened and I totally came to my senses and realised that I was being so stupid. She's never going to like me back if I act like that. In fact, now I've done all this, I'll be very shocked if she ever likes me back at all. So I've just realised that it's not going to happen. And for some reason, I didn't understand this before, and I don't really get why. I just thought that if I let her see that I think she's the love of my life then somehow she would like me back. But that is quite obviously not the case, and I can just see it so clearly now.
It must have been a day of revelations for me, because I've also given up smoking, or at least I've given up buying cigarettes. I ran out mid-morning (I've been planning to give up for a while, so I was on ultra-low nicotine cigs). I went to get some more Mayfair Fines, which at the moment is my brand of choice, but they didn't have any. The only ultra-low nicotine brand they had was Silk-Cut Fine or whatever they're called. They were £5-25 a pack. I was about to buy some, when I thought, do I really need to spend that kind of money on cigarettes? Obviously no is the answer, so I decided I'm never going to spend another penny on fags again. I've scrounged a couple at the pub tonight, but I'm going to stick by my insistance never to buy any again. I might still be able to scrounge, but people will soon realise that I'm not going to spot back.
So that's been my day. It's been a really good day today. And I've not even told you where I've been or what I've done.
