So your ex, with whom you thought things were unresolved, sends you an email to let you know he resolved them while you weren’t paying attention and he hopes the presence of his new girlfriend at his party won’t stop you from attending. Gmail apparently has no keywords that target ads to the “we’ll always be friends” boilerplate, and even if they did they’d be off to the side. However, my ex uses hotmail, so right under the last sentence where he makes some effort to pretend my feelings still matter, I’m informed that I can “Be the filmmaker you always wanted to be—learn how to burn a DVD with Windows®. Make your smash hit”
Actually, the absurdity is helping a little.
I sent this to my ex, thank you.
“He’s a dog. Let’s go dancing.”
-a friend of mine about six years ago when I was in a very similar situation and had fled up to New York for a weekend to visit her to take my mind off my woes
I have two friends on standby to tell me exactly what I want to hear, but this is a bit sudden and they have plans this weekend. Thank god for alcohol.
