everyone has their tales of heartbreak and pain and mine are no more noteworthy than the next.

someone once threw his house keys at me in an act of rabble-rousing. that little stunt rendered him homeless. his parents - PARENTS - showed up a few days later to pick up his things.

i also had someone break up with me over the phone, while i was at work. this happened on a wednesday. on the friday he called me up to see if i wanted to do something.

"you can't really do this." i kindly informed him.

"yeah? well maybe i'll call chris to see what he's up to."


recently, at my best friend's (with whom i usually incur spice girl tattoos after a breakup) family's dinner table, we were teasing his 13-year old niece on her impending boyfriends.

"i hope your first boyfriend looks like 50 cent." i said, truly hoping that her first boyfriend does, indeed, look like 50 cent.

"no thanks! i don't like furs."

"c'mon christina, he'll take you to the candyshop."

"ew! anyway, i already had to break up with my brother's girlfriend for him and that wasn't fun."

"what?"

"he didn't want to do it, so he made me pretend to be him. i typed "i had a really good time, but i don't see this going anywhere." ohmigod, she was sooooo sad! she seemed so nice."

"you did this by email or msn?"

"msn."

"did she use the little sad-face emoticon?"

"yes! she even put the one with the tears." she made the gesture of tears rolling down her face.

we felt her pain. there were minimal LOLs.
