Just an update...

All,

Given my mood in my last few updates, I thought it was best to post another, just to keep you up to date.

Tonight, I am back in action. I feel like me again – which is good for me, probably a reason to fear for all of you. But, it’ll be short lived, because my mood swings have been pretty extreme over the past few days, and I can’t predict anything about them. The one single issue still hangs over me like a dark cloud, ready to wash away any good feelings I might be having at that moment.

There are so many things I want to say, and finally I’m beginning to say them in a more coherent manner. Perhaps the crowning moment of the week was being accused of putting someone up to speaking to Claire. I mean, would I stir up such trouble? Well, yes I would. But not this long after the event, and not just one person. She doesn’t understand that I could have done so much more and much earlier than this if I was going to do something along this line. It aggravates me that no matter how many times I explained, she’d still accuse me again. And the more accusing, the more likely I am to go out and cause more trouble. In fact, because I keep telling people about this one little fact, it’s happening now, but all her own doing. **smirks** I love it when a good plan just forms without any effort of foreplanning.

Despite all the bad and bitter feelings inside me, they’re becoming more structured. The fact that she lied to me, and has maintained a single lie has become maddening in the way she won’t admit it. She said she wouldn’t decide anything until returning. Ha! Not only was the thinking done over the holiday, the decision was taken well before arriving, simply confirmed by how she acted on the first day back. So that’s straight in my head now.

Complementing this little gem is the fact that outwardly nothing has changed in her nature. OK, I can understand why and it’s only worked against her. People have seen me completely wiped, whilst she continues as they’ve always seen her and classed her as the bitch in all of this. Again, encouraging people to get involved in this without my encouragement.

Her complete lack of compromise throughout the past seven weeks has also been a prime annoyance and something impossible to work with. I haven’t handled it well, but how do you speak to someone who is focused on a completely different task and won’t even recognise the notion that you’re in the room with them? That riled me numerous times.

And now, after so many weeks of being friendly with me, she’s taken to blanking me completely. Not even a ‘hello’ or equivalent nod or eye contact. Nothing. I give my enemies more than that!

And still, after all of this, she doesn’t understand what she’s done to cause all of this. She can’t admit that the blame is with her and only her. I hold up my hands and say I have made things worse over the past two months than they could have been, but I did my best in a dire situation. She did practically nothing.

This has been overwhelmingly one sided, but these are the bits that form the argument in my mind. Especially as I carry the fact that I still love her despite this. This isn’t a life anymore, it’s a trial, a quest for survival and sanity. (OK, so I never had too much to lose, but at least it was almost coherent!)

Thanks for reading! See you all soon. I’m back on the December 6.

El Paulo...you really do have to stop getting all confused like this. Your arguments are coherent, they have been for the past few months but what has happened has, much like it would have done with anyone else, thrown you completely, like a rag doll even! Your feelings and worries don't seem to have been taken into consideration by the girl you say you still love and the lack of recognition of your presence would be hard to comprehend other than she doesn't know quite what else to do to show her annoyance. Don't take that to heart dude, you don't deserve it. Stay in that good mood and only slump into a bad mood if it's something completely unrelated... don't have your emotions shaped by one issue (easier said than done, I know)...

Hope my own confusing words help, can't wait to catch up over a drink!

"I give my enemies more than that!" yeah, i know, you even hug me...lol.

Just keep your chin up mate theres nothing you can do about this and just remember that you've tried to sort things out she hasn't and therefore all of this is her doing. You're above all that pettiness and i'm sure everyone else there sees it.

Ello Ello Ello!
Paul you should know even if she doesn't like you, i will always love you :)
I'm glad that you can be evil without even trying or intending it. That is really a evilness on my own special level, you have now joined a very elite club matey one where only Me, you and the Devil himself are allowed.
Your back on the 6th, well i myself do not arrive untill the 8th but a plan is in the pipeline do not worry.

So it comes to this... Bested by a James Freeman wannabe. It's not a happy time...

Friends, I thank you for being here for me, despite the uncalcuable distance between us. I am back in but three short days, and I want to see you, drink with you and bloody well be merry, because it's about time.

I'm so very close to being me again, but everytime I get knocked back into the depths once more of my own self-sympathy.

I'll see you soon

Paulo

YAY! Le retour de El Paulo!
Look forward to hanging out again dude and we'll try our very upmost to cheer you up, although after listening to the Ashes last night, I could do with a shoulder to cry on! Nightmare...
Guys, I think we should all stay up and watch the Ashes when they are on over Christmas, including a day's play on Boxing day...or so I am told! That'd be superb.
James Freeman? Arggh, bad memories of awful waistcoats! Don't listen to Clarkey either when he says he is hanging out with the devil, because that well might mean moi! lol

Look forward to being merry!

Heck, I can do hanging with the devil. He's so cool, and what a voice! Fit as hell, too, if you were interested. **smirks and chuckles**

Devil or no devil, it's clearly time for fun!
