 My head is fine
	My head is fineI've enjoyed a fun-packed weekend of drinking and sunshine and not broken up with anyone.
I'm a bit tired now, but I'm not going to let that bring me down.
Tell me about your happy lives and how a sunny weekend has enriched it.

	I don't think Stan's on air right now. And I'm too sad. Way too sad. This is the first time Ive ever been chucked Jeff. Even if it wasn't you know how much I liked her. I've never been this upset before. This may be the happy thread but I like to think I'm a part of this place now and I'm really sad and I need to let out the thoughts in my head or I'll go nuts. I don't even care if you or anyone else doesn't reply to this, I just need to vent. It helps I think. Fucking hell yes that was gay but I'm ridiculously camp and I don't care.

 She said she needed space cos of her ex.
	She said she needed space cos of her ex. If she told me I was a dickhead and didn't enjoy my company, fair enough. I am a dickhead. I wouldn't mind. But 'space' leaves room for interpretation. I don't know where I stand. I told her I think we have a good thing and I'm not gonna let a good thing just turn into nothing. I'll wait for her. She can take as long as she wants. I'll be here. But how do I maintain contact and give her space at the same time? I'm gonna leave her to think things over but I don't want her to forget about me. I don't know. All I know is that she may be using the 'space' thing as an excuse and I'm scared and upset. I wish I wasn't such a girl. But I am. This is me. It's who I am. I like being nice and I like being nice to girls. I just wish it didn't always make me sad in the end.
