I don't think FT swings that way.

and these days, i'm pretty much willing to swing whatever way will get someone interested in me

no lady friend anymore dude?

she dumped me a little over a month ago, but then we agreed to start seeing each other "at a slowed pace" about a week later.

in retrospect, that was a poor decision, as things have never quite been the same since. at most, we see each other once a week, and there's little to no physical contact or affection. it's basically just watching tv together and maybe dinner. only once since then, a couple of weeks ago, was there really an instance of romantic rekindling.

in fact, more often than not, something comes up at the last minute and she ends up rescheduling for a later date (which itself has actually been postponed further more than once).

i know i should end it, but i just can't bring myself to do it. i have strong feelings for her, plus i'm not ever going to be able to do any better (at least in terms of attractiveness).

so, instead i just spend all my days and nights absolutely miserable and lonely, wishing she'd eventually come around and things would be like they were a couple of months ago.

rationally, i know this is ridiculous and stupid on every possible level. but my heart is a fucking dumbass.

Bitches.

no, i don't want to make her out to be some evil person - the situation just is what it is

It really wasn't meant to be an attack on her, but more of a statement that women aren't always easy to deal with for men.

come to think of it, i have spent an inordinate amount of cash at the fotomat this summer, especially given the fact that i don't even own a fuckin' camera

i have to say, it felt really good to type that out (as embarassing as it is)

internalizing this shit has been eating me alive the last couple of weeks

i wanna hug you dude, and then give you a friendly punch in the arm and tell you to snap out of it. she's not the only fish, trust me.

Leon, I have chosen my album, and will upload it this afternoon.

Cool, my first impulse was to post a cake album, but I'll take a look at my records and try to find something you'll like, but it'll be hard to find something that you haven't heard before. I'll try.

PopTodd · **Posted:** Thu Jun 30, 2011 8:38 am

OK, Shmoo...
I'll be looking through my iTunes today and will try to have something up by this afternoon.

This was one of three records I was thinking of posting and once I saw FT as my pairing, it was an easy choice. I know I had the option of posting any damn album from any year but I wanted to go with something from 2011, Shotgun Jimmie's Transistor Sister. It's one of my favourite records of the year and one I think he'll enjoy a lot.

90's powerpop, Pavement, GBV etc. He's an associate of Daniel Romano as well.

Wasn't sure what to pick so I choose this. Kool Keith is a pervert, so you might get a kick out of that.

Took me a while to make my pick. Didn't want to be (too) obvious, but I wanted to pick something that I thought would be appreciated. I think that this is a pretty good one.

Flying Rabbit! I'll think about this today and rummage around my CDs after work. Let's see if I can get this done efficiently (big retail weekend, but let's say by Saturday).

f4df · **Posted:** Thu Jun 30, 2011 10:12 am

Alright well just picked something-not-too-obvious-but-been-diggin. I'd cut the album in half tho.

right on dude. grabbing it now.

i will have your album uploaded tonight. thought i had it on the drive here, but it's not.

The idea here is to pick something the other hasn't heard, right? I know that my collection and nobody's overlap a lot, so I'm planning asking him if he has (or has heard) whatever I'm recommending before uploading. Kapish?

Dalen · **Posted:** Thu Jun 30, 2011 10:17 am

yeah, that's cool.
