You see Verybadcat, since I spent oh so much money on clothes, I can’t afford the booze. I’ve had a bit here and there, but drunken foolery? Nope.
Wow, I am totally with you there. Especially - datable clothes, working out and e-stalking. If you want to look 6 months beyond just the initial coping, though, I’d add “eating less to make yourself datable.” That seems to be the phase I’m going through now, as “eating my weight in blueberry muffins” added some unwanted pounds in all the wrong places.
Haha, that’s priceless. And I hear ya on the happy couples. Like, really, do they have to be so blatant about it ALL. THE. TIME?! Ugh. I’ve noticed that because it’s spring you see it a lot more, too.
Haha. I love the pie chart! I have a bit of an e-stalking habit myself. I’m glad I’m not the only one!! I’m also glad that facebook doesn’t notify people when you check their profiles many, many times in a short period of time. I may or may not have done that…
Add booze and replace muffins with freezy pops. And my poor mother. I swear I called her like four times a day for hours at a time. Also add a category for plotting their demise, heh.
\
Anyhoo, yeah that’s about right, although in my case we’ll replace John Cusack with Hugh Jackman and blueberry muffins with cheese and we’re there.

That reminds me, must go food shopping before i die of starvation
i’m just glad “consider batting for the other team” is such a small sliver of the pie….:)
\
oh and shouldn’t it be “blueberry muffins & cupcakes”? yeah, i think so.
You said it. I think it’s healthy to just lay it all out there Then you can see where you should focus more efforts. Working out, regardless, is so worth it for you relationship status good or bad. Now, if only I could follow my own advice!!
heh. i’m ON TOP OF that chart. except i refuse to engage in any estalking, because i firmly DO NOT CARE TO KNOW anything about him ever again. also, blueberry muffins are FAR too healthy a choice for this sort of situation.
ok i love you. this was just excellent. i felt myself nodding in agreement as i read every slice of that wheel of yours. the only difference? i eat my weight in peanut butter and chocolate. not a good idea.

Replace blueberry muffins with coconut-pineapple haagen daaz and that describes my last break-up perfectly.

Love it.
Where’s the booze, though? All my breakups had lots of booze.

I love the illustrated pie chart. It’s so accurate. Isn’t it wonderful being a girl? (I esp. love the letters to John Cusack part. Swoon.)

I agree that you need to add booze. And sleeping all day. And staying in your pajamas all day.

How to afford the booze: Wear your datable clothes after your datable work out and get guys at the bar to buy you free booze.

They’re just so damn happy together. Nobody has a right to be that happy when I’m not!
