Get Over It

During my travels of over 10 weeks, I've met a few interesting people and hung out with old friends and new friends.

One new person - L - I really connected with. Why? Cos we talked about nitty gritty stuff that people generally avoid.

L : So what's the most expensive gift you have received from a guy?
Me : Engagement ring
(and it was ME who changed the subject...till L brought it up hours later...)

L : So you were engaged? What happened?
Me : blah, blah, blah (it's now just a 2 minute spiel cos I can't remember much)
L : So are you over him? (See! I LIKE this straight-to-the-point bluntness!! why beat around the bush?? LOVE IT!)
Me : YES!!!!!!


I just love bluntness. What's the point of small mish-mash talk? Get to the deep stuff that really matters!!

Anyway, you know what the most annoying thing is though??

Although I am totally over it, some of my friends aren't!

I have been told by two brides AFTER THEIR WEDDING, that I could have been a bridesmaid but they didn't know if I could cope!! Like seriously, WTF is that about?? I LOVE WEDDINGS! I am ALWAYS happy to see people getting married and being in love. What did they think I was gonna do? Break down and cry and shoot the groom just cos I have a broken engagement?? PUH-LEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hello???

What pisses me off even more is....the fact they tell me AFTER the wedding! What is the point? Does it make me wanna thank them for saving me from wedding meltdown? HARDLY! Just gets me angry cos it means that they don't really know me at all! They couldn't have discussed it with me prior to the wedding??? Don't tell me after then!!!

GOSH, when will this broken engagement crap stop haunting me???

I also missed out on going to the ex's sister's wedding recently! I was invited and then I wasn't. I was raging! WTF? We're grown-up people here!!! Can't we be civilised to each other? That family are just weird!!


But it made ME look bad! EVERYONE was going and EVERYONE was invited.

People : Are you going to the wedding?
Me : No
People look at me like I'm the bitter ex-jilted-fiancee...aww, poor girl, can't cope with going to the wedding...blah blah blah...

(I could have explained why..sometimes I really wanted to...but then, I didn't cos I didn't wanna cause a scene or start some malicious rumours just before her wedding...see, I am CONSIDERATE that way!!)

Anyway, yeah, people get over it! Invite me to your weddings. Let me be the bridesmaid.

Let me catch the bouquet!
