friendship breakup

do guys even understand the significance of a friendship break-up.  you know. where you say to a friend "i don't think we should be friends anymore".  similar to a break up where you say to the person you're dating "i don't think we should see each other anymore."

i've never actually done the formal friendship breakup before, (to be honest, i'm not sure i've ever dealt with a proper actual breakup before either, but that's not the point here) but i am considering one at the moment.

i've let go of friends and acquaintances that deserve to be let go.  and sometimes, i've even allowed them to come back, but never in the same capacity.

however the would-be dumpee in this example is a Y chromo, so i'm thinking the impact of the actual breakup would be completely lost on him.  i think i might just revert to "avoidance" and see what happens.  maybe he'll get the hint. 

while i think the breakup would be a good thing on one hand.  i think i'll be really sad.  i think sometimes it hurts more to lose a friend than a relationship. 

 

bonnawho?? Bonna-you!

so here's my bonnaroo recap. I've been postponing it since right after i got back i was havign some excessively harsh feelings about the people i went with, and i didn't want to write a bunch of stuf i didn't mean, and would have to edit later. let's just say that by the end of the trip, after 5 days of not showering, i hated everyone, and no one was my friend.

overall the trip was really fun. 3 girls (me, JS and SP) and 2 boys (AD and bird). i will have to say that for a lot of it i did feel 3rd wheelish since JS and SP are current roommates, so that was a little peevish. the music was really good. and i realized how naive i am about drugs. like what are mollies? and why is that hippie asking me if i want chocolate? well mollies are ecstasy, and the "chocolate" is made with mushrooms. stay away from the chocolate!!

blogapalooza

so yesterday was really eventful, (considering i was at work) so i'm dividing this blog into subsections:

WHY I LOVE LANNY

so, lan's one of my best guy friends from undergrad. i've been kinda sad lately so i email him yesterday with this:

"i'm broken. send a hug and something funny"

he responds with:

"HUG!! If this doens't cheer you up, i don't know what will" and the rest of the email is a bunch of michigan jokes.

it was great. i only wish that the "hug" had been for real. i miss having a really good guyfriend around. especially one that understands that sometimes all i need is a hug and a laugh to feel better.

PETE YORN IS F-ING SEXY

ok, seriously, pete's hot. and he's going on tour. he's got a show in cleveland and in columbus in july.

so I message AD about it since he does concert reviews and can usually score free tickets and bring a guest. anyways, he's all "pete yorn is lame". so that was a no go. but thinking about it anyways, i would hate to see a band/concert i really like with AD since he's such a prick about music. he's a music snob. he's like the pretensious record store guy that makes fun of you for buying an album that gets played on the radio. plus it looks like AD's back into his "i'm a dick" phase. but that's a whole different story.

then i emailed emily about it, and she wants to go, so it looks like its going to be columbus for pete. at the newport. where i first saw him 3 years ago. yay!! with me and emily together at the show - there's always potential for mad fun and a chance to meet pete!

last time em and i saw pete, em puked in the sink, i almost got into a fight with some butch lesbians, and i called RK's little brother to pick us up to take us to a party only to have him drive to emily's house and grab us water from the kitchen cuz we ddn't feel like moving.

BASEBALL IS SUPER-COOL

So I drive home from work, and literally as i pull into my town, j.doug calls me. turns out BE (who's also in cleveland for the summer) got 4 tickets to the indians game from her firm. game's at 7. do i want to go? Hell yeah i tell him.

so 15 minutes later, j.doug picks me up, and we head back downtown (where we both work) on the rapid. we meet up with BE and her fiance and find out that the seats are awesome. they were next to the bull pen, 3 rows from the field. AND j.doug has a friend who managers all the concessions in the jake. so we got free food and beer!

so not only did i see 11 innings of a fantastic game for only $3 (rapid fare) but i also got the bullpen catcher to toss me a ball in the bottom of the ninth.

why its fun to work at city hall...

its fun to work at city hall because while waiting outside to meet a friend for lunch you can watch a protestor drive up in an old station wagon, with billboards attached to it, argue with a police officer who wants him to move his car. you can also watch said protestor pull into a free space a few yards ahead, and listen to him rant and rave about the 28 new cameras to be installed at red lights.
