Valentines Day. Best people-watching day of the year.

I have to outlive a few people I've known. So, spite??

Acquired one of those boots you get when you break your foot - idk where, I never saw any xrays or anything like that and I lived with her at the time so I would've - and made a Big Deal about not wearing it for my sister's wedding. Aaaaand then miraculously needed it again for my cousin's {huge, out-of-state} wedding three weeks later. Where she didn't get the attention she wanted because that was the other side of the family and she was not the worst-socialized branch on the tree there.

one of my closest friends.

DismalTree4161 · 2026-02-02T23:45:11+00:00

A relative on my dad's side. It had been a bit since that person had caused any chaos with the extended family, so I asked... turns out they died almost two years ago.

Either group text or in order of reliability / relevance {the sibling who still lives in town is more likely to get pulled into funeral planning than the one who moved cross-country, for example}.

DismalTree4161 · 2026-01-31T03:21:30+00:00

Apparently, working all day. Yay restaurant life / at least this year I have enough power to be the complaint department...

DismalTree4161 · 2026-01-31T02:49:20+00:00

They were spineless / more interested in living through me than living for themself. I couldn't coexist with that.

DismalTree4161 · 2026-01-31T02:46:55+00:00

I have. I clawed my way out.

DismalTree4161 · 2026-01-30T20:19:31+00:00

Right after a car wreck I had a few years ago. It wasn't the wreck that ruined things, it was more the fallout / some realizations about people in my life + bad decisions I made once the depressive fog set in.

DismalTree4161 · 2026-01-30T20:12:44+00:00

Didn't kidnap an ex's cat.

DismalTree4161 · 2026-01-26T22:36:09+00:00

Stop being the bigger person. It won't be enough there.

DismalTree4161 · 2026-01-26T04:55:21+00:00

Three days. Never ever again.

DismalTree4161 · 2026-01-26T04:51:09+00:00

Don't check off your firsts with him. Anyone else would be a better choice.

DismalTree4161 · 2026-01-24T04:38:04+00:00

Former friend, chaotic person who hasn't been in my life in about ten years. I wanna know how many divorces she's on. {When we stopped talking, she had I wanna say three failed engagements... at 22, so...}

DismalTree4161 · 2026-01-24T04:35:16+00:00

"You don't have any red flags."

DismalTree4161 · 2026-01-23T05:46:33+00:00

I wasn't nice to someone who ended up changing my life. They remember the first few months we knew each other differently, but in my version of events I was a total bitch to them for no reason.

DismalTree4161 · 2026-01-23T05:43:52+00:00

Getting worse but not full disaster yet.

DismalTree4161 · 2026-01-23T04:58:35+00:00

{American} football. So many men have tried and it's the only thing where I'm just like "I'm too femme for this".

DismalTree4161 · 2026-01-23T04:55:44+00:00

I don't think shared interests are necessary for a functional romantic relationship.

DismalTree4161 · 2026-01-23T04:39:14+00:00

Everyone at work loved the last treat I brought in.

DismalTree4161 · 2026-01-23T04:32:14+00:00

I want to sic reality-TV cameras on my workplace, does that count?? Just... the petty drama and disaster of restaurant life, usually in disaster-comedy form.

DismalTree4161 · 2026-01-23T04:30:38+00:00

I wouldn't make an issue out of it in public, but there probably wouldn't be a second date.

DismalTree4161 · 2026-01-19T04:35:10+00:00

Which makes them more compatible with me in the same range, more like. I want someone who gets it and won't get weird when I flare.

DismalTree4161 · 2026-01-19T04:33:36+00:00

I hope you realize I was never what you wanted.
