AMCerasoli,
I have received your communication. I have to ask you to cease and desist in your efforts to contact me. If you contact me again in any way, I will contact the authorities.(Almost word for word to her reply to me)

Do you know what I would have answer her?:

"You can do whatever you want Sara, but next time you see me coming, yhea you better run. ER"

Hahhahahahahahah!!!

Today is gonna be the day I finally get back to you.
It's only been 15 years since the last time I saw your face.
I don't believe anybody feels the way I do about my baby.

Backbeat the word is on the street I've totally creeped you out.
What's wrong dear?
What about me do you fear?
I don't believe anybody deserves you like I do.

And all the roads that led me to your front door are winding.
And all your porch lights are blinding.
And there are many things I'd like to say to you
But you won't open the door.

I said maybe you're just playing hard to get.
And just maybe, you'll never forget.

Today was supposed to be the day I felt your sweet embrace.
Instead you opened a can of whoop-ass, and sprayed me up with mace.
I don't understand why you don't feel the way I do about you now.

And all the roads that led me to your front door are winding.
And all your porch lights are blinding.
And there are many things I'd like to say to you but I'm sitting here in jail.

And just maybe, when I'm out on parole
I'll find you again … and again.

Recorded on my iPad. >:(

I like that you just hammered the words into the song, rather than trying to pick words to match the rhythm. It adds to the irony. It was wonder(aw/wall)ful.

The thing that I really don't understand is why everyone thinks there is so much implicit communication going on. That's not the way that I communicate. I don't use innuendo or imply anything (in my mind / as far as I am aware of). So why does everyone read so much into everything that I said? I do my best to say what I mean, and mean what I say without trying to hint / imply / what the f' ever else people think I was doing.

It's not about what you intended. It's about what she perceived. All these people who are telling you it's creepy, or that you seem like a stalker; they're all looking at it from her perspective. What they're saying is what she saw when she read your letters.

Do NOT contact her again. It doesn't matter how you contact her, or what you say, she's going to see it in the context of the creepiness she felt receiving your letters. Don't prolong this for her.

That said, don't feel too bad about it. You had good intentions, but you made a mistake in carrying them out. It happens. Don't prolong this for yourself, either. Move on with your life.

I thought it was hilarious.

I'm changing my advice: I think you should send one last Christmas card with Matthew's song recorded to vinyl as a gift.

That was awesome, Matthew. I'm jealous that in this time you've learned to play the keyboard and guitar^[1]. :-[

Albeit, it sounds like you've figured out how to only work for 3 months out of the year, so I guess I could too with that kind of time...

It only takes about one weekend of not getting drunk to reach my level of proficiency on both instruments.

Matthew, go and buy a drumset. After a sober weekend you could record the drum track to that Monday song we did some years ago. IIRC, a real drum track was the only thing missing from the whole project.

I really feel like shit today, so I took bambam's advice and decided to drink my way into a stupor and out of love.

Say hello to 750 ml of Jim Beam everyone, I think I'm already drunk, let me take another drink and make sure...

This stuff tastes like shit, but it's all I've got.

And I'm not within reach of stamps / a phone / er... but I could still email her...

Edit
Oh yeah, and I'm listening to the Hurley album by Weezer. In case you were wondering.

King Piccolo will make it so Then I could just flip it with some sweet, sweet matrix math. In either case, I’ll ride this wagon until the wheels fall off. Thanks to those that keep it running

Yes. I was wondering if you were listening to that album; and now I know. Thank you.

The Jim Beam would probably taste nicer if you mixed it with something. I'm not a great fan of it anyway, but still; mixing it is the way to go.

That said, I personally haven't had a lot of success in drinking away my troubles. I suspect that the key to success is not to try to block out the bad, but rather to try to experience something good.

Well, now I've moved on to the Siamese Dream album by the Smashing Pumpkins.

I've barely had a drink at all in 8 years, but she's^[1] a good reason to get drunk again. I quit smoking for her^[2] for two weeks, and the day I got that letter from her^[3] I went out to the bar and got drunk off of Fat Tire amber ale. Ever had Fat Tire? It's probably one of the best beers there are. And I started smoking again.

So, to keep this thread alive :

Which of your (ex)girlfriends would you like to be with again if you could, and why?
What is your favorite beer / lager / ale?

My answers :

I'll start : The woman I can't even talk to anymore, because I'm a goddamn idiot, because she has beautiful brown eyes and she kissed me with more passion than anyone I've ever known.
Fat Tire amber ale, of course

Go do something productive. Like coding or something.

Hey, here's an idea for SH: drunkenhack! Drink a bottle of vodka, then make a game. Repeat every 24 hours for 3 days.

Trying to forget about the love of my life by getting drunk doesn't count?
Also, I'm writing makefiles, does that count?
