POUR SOME SUGAR ON MEEEEEEEE !!!<\/p>\n

Woooo hoooo !!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I finally figured out what the dork was causing my exceptionally despondent mood recently …<\/p>\n

And figuring it out has made me feel soooo much better ! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

It’s been a struggle for me recently …<\/p>\n

Falling so many rungs so quickly …<\/p>\n

And just not being able to climb back up with any confidence.<\/p>\n

Despite efforts by Singer, Shaft, Hottie and others in my real life …<\/p>\n

I was getting nowhere,<\/p>\n

Fast.<\/p>\n

In fact, by last night …<\/p>\n

I was down another rung …<\/p>\n

Again.<\/p>\n

Hanging out around number 3.<\/p>\n

Mainly because for some reason …<\/p>\n

I was shutting people out.<\/p>\n

I was totally withdrawing …<\/p>\n

Talking with people just seemed to make me hurt all the more.<\/p>\n

But this morning, as I was on the road …<\/p>\n

Something Singer said to me yesterday while she was trying to help …<\/p>\n

Combined with something Shaft said last night when he was trying to help …<\/p>\n

And went off with a flash …<\/p>\n

Giving me the answer.
\n
\nI hate<\/i> Joe Hairdy.<\/p>\n

Yeah, I know, I know …<\/p>\n

Hate is a pretty strong word,<\/p>\n

To be used cautiously.<\/p>\n

But I hate the phucking bastard.<\/p>\n

And what’s worse …<\/p>\n

Is the reason why I hate him.<\/p>\n

It’s born of pure jealously.<\/p>\n

It’s all about Joe.<\/p>\n

In the last several weeks,<\/p>\n

It seems as if I’ve be innundated with people expressing …<\/p>\n

Mourning for Joe,<\/p>\n

Longing for Joe,<\/p>\n

Anticipated missing of Joe,<\/p>\n

Fun time memories of Joe.<\/p>\n

Seeing Joe whenever they look at me,<\/p>\n

Me always being Joe,<\/p>\n

And then if that’s not enough …<\/p>\n

I was getting hit with occasional knocks to Joe.<\/p>\n

I was taking it from all directions.<\/p>\n

And totally innocently too,<\/p>\n

No one saying anything meant to hurt my feelings …<\/p>\n

And not just one person said it …<\/p>\n

Each and every statement that started wearing on me was said multiple times by multiple parties.<\/p>\n

Joe is this great guy.<\/p>\n

And everyone was going to miss him,<\/p>\n

While no one really gave a rip about me.<\/p>\n

It totally blew.<\/p>\n

I became jealous of him.<\/p>\n

I wanted the friendships Joe had.<\/p>\n

I wanted the associations Joe experienced.<\/p>\n

I wanted the memories Joe created.<\/p>\n

I was jealous that people liked him,<\/p>\n

I wanted what he had,<\/p>\n

It was all about Joe.<\/p>\n

And being with anyone that reminded me of Joe became increasingly wearing on me …<\/p>\n

Which is why I think I withdrew …<\/p>\n

Isolated myself …<\/p>\n

From everyone for the most part.<\/p>\n

Had I moved away …<\/p>\n

Removed myself from the frequent Joe reminders …<\/p>\n

I don’t think I would have experienced what I experienced.<\/p>\n

And in some ways …<\/p>\n

I think that the reason this hit me as it has is because I’ve drawn out the dual life way too long …<\/p>\n

It is negatively affecting everyone at this point.<\/p>\n

But there’s a huge positive to this experience …<\/p>\n

It has allowed me to see …<\/p>\n

That I needed to bring closure to my own feelings for Joe Hairdy.<\/p>\n

I too was holding on …<\/p>\n

Refusing to let go …<\/p>\n

And it had become destructive to me.<\/p>\n

So anyways …<\/p>\n

Joe and I need to co-exist for a bit longer …<\/p>\n

But maybe now that he knows I hate him,<\/p>\n

He’ll just leave me alone ! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Editor’s Note: First of all, I’m not krazy … well, let me specify that … I’m not krazy just because I’m talking about Joe in the third person … it’s just easier that way. And secondly, I fully expect that my hatred for all things Joe will dissipate and I’ll like him once more … as soon as there’s a bit more distance between us. \ud83d\ude42 Lastly, I really do think that at some point … for those that know Joe … he’ll become a memory and it will be all about me, like it is supposed to be. Also, I’d like to thank the Academy and my wonderful viewers whose comments and e-mails helped make me smile and occupy my time while I was being tempted by the Dark Side. Thanks !!! \ud83d\ude42 I’ll reward you all with some boob pics someday !! \ud83d\ude42 Though, I guess that’s just a reward for the guys and lesbians in the amyvision audience. Oh well, it’s all I got. *shrug* \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
