When You Least Expect It

 

Everyone has someone they would rather not see.

And why does it always seem that when you aren’t thinking about them and totally don’t want to see them they walk back into your life?

really?

That happened to me the other day. I ran into my ex-boyfriend.

So I was headed to the movie theater to see the original Ghostbusters (1984) as it was being rereleased in theaters.

I was so excited that I even wore my ghostbusters costume.

Taking fandom to the EXTREME!

But then things went wrong. My theater app wasn’t working right so I had to print out my confirmation, but then of course the printer wouldn’t work.

Then I ended up getting stuck behind the theater security guy twice!

I then got stuck behind an old man complaining about the computer ticket window.

Just one thing after another

I finally reached the line and who should be in front of me? Michael.

Out of all the times in the past two years for me to run into him at the theater dressed in a Ghostbuster costume.

Sometimes I think my life could be a sitcom.

Now the last time I saw him was like two years ago and I was over him and the fact he cheated on me.

But because I don’t care doesn’t mean I want to see him. It’s like when you pass an area where a skunk has been, there is a bad stink that permeates the air and takes forever to get away from.

I had to wait behind him in line, but thankfully he was with his best friend. If he had been with the girl he cheated on me with (and later married) I don’t know if I could stop old hurts/my temper flaring up. I may have moved on, but in every path there are bumps in the road.

Anyways, I didn’t want to ruin the night, or taint it any further, so I just tried to ignore him.

Although I have to admit for a moment I felt pretty silly that after all this time I was dressed up in a costume.

But then that moment passed as I remembered how awesome I looked and how I totally rocked my costume.

And of course I saw that he noticed me and his reaction made me really upset. You see after he dumped me I went to talk to him and see if we could work it out. He acted cold and angry.

And angry after when I ran into him at the play.

what?

And angry at the theater when he saw me.

I’m like, excuse me?

What on earth do you have to be angry about? I’m the one that was cheated on! I’m the one that was dumped. I was the best girlfriend and you were the one who messed it up. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE ANGRY! I’M THE ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO BE!

It made me angry with him all over again.

What a horrible-

It really made me want to go up to him and just teach him a lesson.

But then after that moment of anger subsided, I remembered that if we hadn’t broken up I might have gone on longer dating a guy who didn’t appreciate me.

And I’m much happier as I am now then I ever was with him.

29) Things You Want to Say to an Ex

Sorry about the messy posting. I went out of town and didn’t have everything as prepared as I would have liked it. Oh well.

So I don’t really have anything to say to my current ex.

He was a jerk. And I don’t care about him anymore.

And that’s all I have to say on that. I’ve completely moved on.

Remember, Remember The 5th of November

So today is Guy Fawkes Day and you know what that means…

So this something I actually have to thank my ex-boyfriend for. He may have been a cheating scumbag that at times I really want to punch in the face (or kick in the junk)

But he did introduce me to some great music, V for Vendetta, and The Sandman Chronicles.

As it is the 5th of November, it is time to honor it and V. V is amazing. First of all he’s played by Hugo Weaving.

I know, what an amazing actor!!! He has some serious fighter skills!

This was my first date with my ex and all I could do was swoon over him. V, that is not my ex.

Besides being an epic fighter, he’s a man with a message and something to fight for.

Now do I agree with everything he does? No. He never should have cut Evey’s hair. A girl’s hair is more than hair, it is a part of their identity, a mark of their femininity. What he did was just wrong there.

See Hook agrees with me.

But you can’t help but be swayed by him. He is so eloquent!

In fact, I became so enthralled that I actually wrote a song about the film from V to Evey. I composed it as I was biking to school and was unable to write it down. Sadly, by the time I got to class I couldn’t remember much. This is about all I can recall:

“I cut off all your hair,

But I swear to you I care

Because I’ve got a vendetta to win your heart

(Win your heart) (Win your heart)”

Silly huh? But what’s a fangirl to do?

So today I have a proposition for you all. Now none of you under obligation:

So last year my friend Benita, who is also a huge V fan, and I were discussing the film. She suggested that we should tag walls with Vs on November 5th to honor him. I thought that was a great idea, but didn’t want to get in trouble for vandalism. I thought we should do it in chalk, as it washes off, but that’s when I came up with a better idea!

But I thought what could make this 5th of November really special would be if we would post this picture on our facebook walls.

And then on 5 of our friends’ walls asking them to do the same. If we all work together we can cover the world!!! Think about it!

The Animal I Have Become

*Note: I wrote this blog in October but couldn’t post it because of Horrorfest III. I am aware that things have changed on Supernatural, but I wanted to leave it the exact same way I wrote it.*

I thought this would be a great opening to a great song:

Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace

This song is amazing. It has these chords that constantly run through your mind. The music is almost like a pulse and so hypnotic. It bugs me that I can’t explain better how much I love this song.  I just LOVE IT!

This song was created by the extremely handsome Adam Gontier.

He’s so attractive that I can’t help flashing his picture every time I talk about his talents. Anyways he wrote the song while he was in rehab for his addiction to OxyContin (a pain medication). He wrote it as he felt that he was losing himself during the addiction. He stated that “he had become abusive and angry and had no idea who he was anymore.”

It was super popular when it came out, being number one for over 7 weeks. Some of you might recall from an earlier post that my ex-boyfriend had lent this CD to me. Well I knew of Three Days Grace long before that because of this song and Pain; the two most popular of the album.

The music video is also amazing. He has this crazy, wild, black beast that he is trying to fight and overcome. It’s crazy!!! And it reminds us:

And that “Wild Thing” isn’t always good.

I can’t escape this hell
So many times i’ve tried
But i’m still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal, this animal)

I can’t escape myself
(I can’t escape myself)
So many times i’ve lied
(So many times i’ve lied)
But there’s still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal

Somebody help me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
I can’t escape this hell

(This animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal)

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal I have become)

And now with Dean having become a Demon (sad I know) on Supernatural, the song makes me think of him.

Fashionably Postworthy

So a lot of people knock fashion down. They say that caring about how one looks is a waste of time and that one should only think about who they are on the inside. Now while it’s true that real beauty comes from within, you shouldn’t completely knock fashion.

It’s true. A cute article of clothing can brighten your day. You can feel more confident, more together, and just all around amazing.

And just because you are caring about how you look doesn’t mean you have to buy into the fashions of the day. You wear what you like. No matter what anyone else says.

I pretty much only shop at thrift stores and people love my finds. People might not like what you are wearing and call you crazy, but you know what? All people with great ideas are considered crazy at first.

It isn’t until afterwards that we recognize their genius and abilities.

Now the only thing to remember is to be careful when creating your own style that you still wear things appropiate to what you are taking part in.

Because you might find yourself in a situation that your clothes just don’t fit right.

But on a whole wear what you want, look good

And always remember that no matter what:
