Jon?

Dinner time.
Saturday. 8.4.12 11:24 am
I’ve taken quite a few losses recently. The whole choosing Virginia over Iowa and Oakland was a loss. Taking the job on the campaign trail was another one. Moving to a city that I hate to be with the woman who told me to come in the first place and go from her confessing her undying love and devotion to me with her head on my lap one night to one week later crying in the middle of a coffeeshop when she tells me she no longer loves me that way was a moderate loss as well.. but, I digress.

Trying to move on immediately was another one. In retrospect, there were many warning signs that this particular move-on girl wasn’t the right one. For instance, when she found out I was in D.C. after having quit my job, her first response was to tell me that I need to learn to bend my knee if I want to get anywhere in life. The second response was to compare me to Eddard Stark over dinner.

“If he had just learned to bend his knee, instead of trying to do follow the moral imperative, a lot of lvies would have been saved. Sometimes you have to do dirt, Jonathan.”

I shrug, not really seeing the connection. “See, the difference between me and Stark is that I’d never take a gig like that – one where I have to choose between my principles and my job.”

Before she could complete her incredulous eyebrow arch, I continued. “… Outside of the one I just quit with the campaign.”

“See, that’s what I mean, Jonathan. In this world, to be successful. You’ve got to sell yourself out a little bit every now and then.“

“So pragmatically, we’ve all got to be prostitutes in your world?”

“Pragmatically, we’re all prostitutes already.”

“Speak for yourself.”

“And that’s why you’re in your current predicament: alternating from couch to hostel, jumping from city to city like this.”

“… Touche.”


The evening didn’t really go well. She called me about five times in the span of thirty minutes before we met up, leaving two messages. When we actualy sat down for dinner, all she wanted to talk about was Batman or Superman and other escapism things and all I could think about was how I missed shewhoshallnotbenamed. The tattoos decorating every voltronic piece of her body – from calf to clavicle. The.. ah fuck it. I’m not doing this to myself right now. Where’s the Drake at? It hasn’t even been a week but these past five days are the longest we’ve gone without any contact in years.

Years.

I’m not sure when I’ll be able to talk to her again. I’m embarrassed that the last time she saw me, I was sort of this 6’3 man painfully clinging onto her with tears reluctantly falling from my face and onto her hair.



I wasn’t crying though.. I had just been chopping onions.

Poor Jonathan. I feel for you. Your date sounds lame. Mine was lame. I kept thinking about HIM.

Sucks cutting contact. I want to contact my ex to just talk. Tell him jokes, stories and what's been going on but can't. Just gotta be strong aka listen to Drake?

Ohman...Bret. Wonderful Gif. I totally forgot about that song.

I forgot to mention... I totally listened to Boyz II Men when I got dumped. It's only natural. Damn woman interrupting your Boyz II Men. Ugh.

you sounds like a romantic dater.

WHAT? Nasty?! You're cray... it's so good. Best burgers in Southern Cali. But if you don't like burgers than it makes sense. Shame.

The Miseduction of Jonathan? Is "miseduction" even a word? That aside.. Poor Jon... *hugs* I hate women like that, they ruin good men for other women. Hey, look on the bright side, you're now free from doing things that you don't like and dude, don't go back to her.

Re: Yes Cumberbatch! He's so hot!
I know with that book series.. I wasn't at a good place when I started reading (didn't want to say that because the person who put me there is lurking around my blog). So I got hooked and I kinda like staying there for a while.

Sounds like a horrible date, I'm sorry. I'm just sorry about all of it damn it. Life and love are so unfair. Try your best not to let it break you though, I've known so many guys who let women break them and they are always so much better then the girl who breaks them but it doesn't matter to them and it ends up messing up better things down the road.. you are way too smart to let that happen to you. I listen to a little drake when I feel the heartache too, he's good for that. I'm really into music to aide my emotions as a whole, maybe I'll send you some random songs to listen to if you'd like. We seem to have similar tastes in music.

RE
I'm thinking dental hygenist for a number of reasons. It's one of very few fields where women out earn men. It's got relatively low school time for it's earning potential. It has awesome job prospects and good pay. Also I've always been kind of obsessed with teeth and I have a lot of teeth issues so I think it would benefit me in the long run to be in that field.
