Thanks.
I am really, really, really, really sorry for drawing a blank on who you were at Macado's. I was probably tired--related to the whole manic inability to sleep. This shows we need to hang out more. Consider yourself invited to wing night next Monday @ Macado's with the physics/math grads.
I read your note on facebook. I didn't read Brian's because I'm not friends with Brian on facebook because I've only met him ... three?-four? ... times and it just doesn't seem to be worth the effort. And now his note seems to be gone/hidden.
Some advice I heard awhile back is that in love, we must do what's in our own best interest. Given the shiny nature of the statement, that surprisingly turned out to be a rather painful set of ideas. BUT... this note seems to have a much happier ending than the one on facebook... so... I guess... that's good. Or at least a great sign. Best of luck to you.
I'm not sure if there is anything more personal I can say since it's been years since I've seen you. BUT... I've got this summer job in Boone NC for most of July and the very beginning of August. I have to work five days a week plus Saturday mornings, but I was hoping to make it to the Valley region one of those Sundays... care for lunch or coffee or ice cream?
Thank you. You're right both about your advice and about how hard it is to follow. The nature of love is to want to do what's in the other person's best interest until you end up in a no-win situation. I try to approach it more like a business deal, but in the end, I just wasn't willing to sign the contract.
Congratulations on the job! Boone is a really great town. I'd like to get down there to see it again sometime. If you're coming to the greater B'burg area anyway, ice cream might work.
I don't particularly want to know what the notes say, so I won't read them. But I will say this:
You're a lovely person. One of my favorites in the whole world. Every time I've tried to tell you this, you seem somewhat disinclined to accept it. If it's just modesty, I understand that--I'm also not very good at taking compliments. If it's not just modesty, I hope you'll take this new relationship as an opportunity to let someone convince you that you honestly are completely awesome.
(Again, nothing on Bryan. I'm not suggesting he didn't try, or didn't try hard enough--just saying that sometimes you need to hear such things from multiple people.)
That means a whole lot to me coming from you. I like to think that I'm doing the right thing, even if it's for the wrong reasons. Then again, "All of a man's ways are clean in his own eyes, but the LORD weigheth the spirits," not that I especially like quoting scripture as wisdom. Seriously, though, your opinion carries a lot of weight with me, so I hope it never changes.
Bryan was a great boyfriend and a great guy all-around. My reasons for ending things have more to do with who he is, who I am, and bad timing than anything either of us could have done.

Besides, it's good to know I have friends that could step on my enemies, that is, if Facebook/LJ diplomacy broke down.
It's also important to have friends who can give me Gene Simmons' perspective if needed. :-)
