there are times i astonish even myself with my own bad timing. just when i think that i feel as bad as i possibly could, i manage to unearth or experience something that makes me see how wrong i am. on my walk today the thought of how i had broken michael's heart was one of the few terrible things i had done that i was tormenting myself with. just a bit ago i found myself on facebook and thought i should check in to see how he was doing. well the good news is that the mortal wound i thought i had inflicted on him with breaking off our relationship was more of a paper cut. it appears he's been dating someone for about a month now (if you're keeping score at home that would be about two months after the break up) and if he's not in love he is certainly in deep like with him.
and fortunately for michael he's found someone much younger and better looking than me as well. the song "tapes" comes to mind at this time with the first lyric "i am someone easy to forget" being particularly accurate. and on this occasion, one good alanis song calls for another. in this case, the lyric "how to keep smiling when you're thinking of killing yourself" would be the most appropriate. i imagine i'll be getting plenty of additional practice at that one this week.
