Things that make you go ".... OHMYGOD!"
Placebo - [Meds (w/ Alison Mosshart)]--- It's time for another one of Uncle Wolven's Disturbingly Helpful Hints. Today's installment: "How To Refrain From Appearing As A Stalker."

Gentlemen. Ladies. If you've recently broken up with a significant other, and you find yourself to still be attracted to them, perhaps even hoping for reconciliation, do not, under any circumstances, tell them that you still think about them naked, imagine them while you're having sex with other people, or masturbate to pictures of your last picnic lunch together.

MDFMK - [Stare at the Sun]--- Even if you do.

Unless they ask for that kind of information, it is really in your Very Best Interest to keep it to yourself, and perhaps to go so far as to examine your levels of attachment to, nay, Obsession with the object of your desire.

And what if they do ask? Well then, if you were planning on telling them what is, in this context, very awkward and psychologically damaging information, anyway, and then they ask that very awkward and psychologically damaging question, then, well... maybe you shouldn't have separated, in the first place.

This has been another enlightening installment of Uncle Wolven's Disturbingly Helpful Hints. This episode was brought to you by contemplations of youth, while listening to Tom Waits' "Ruby's Arms."

Ye gods, this is so relevant to my life right now. So. Damn. Relevant.

You need an advice column, Uncle Wolven.

Encourage him. Please. Maybe it'll help if he gets paid for being angry. :)

I seem to be doing that, lately: being unintentionally relevant to people. When I actually try for it, it's no where to be found. Hmm...

If you can convince someone to pay me, for advice--perhaps the Onion, or The Creative Loafing-- then maybe I could, you know, Eat Food. That'd be nice.

I like eating.

Why do people seem to have so little...sense...when it comes to relationships and other people? Especially the connections that are iffy? People let things go to shit, want advice, and when I tell them things that seem perfectly logical to me in the same situation, they look surprised.

*headdesk*

People generally break, at least slightly, in these situations. They get hard of thinking and hearing.

you know the worst bit is when you KNOW what your doing is bad and you bloody well do it anyway. I used to call that evil... now I just call it hopeless.

Yeah. Generally in this kind of thing, the person doing it knows that it's... not exactly the best thing to do, but it just feels like if they say one more thing, something that Really lets the other person know how they feel, then it'll fix everything.

But it doesn't.

It makes things worse.

I've had friends who do this and I keep trying to tell them to stop. But they don't.

*sigh*

Oh Unrequited Love, you ARE a beast.

Believe me, I know.

Most people will be completely unable to deal with this kind of exposition, whilst sober. And when inebriated, most people have a tendency to regret the things they've done.

I, being SATAN HIMSELF, make it a point to never do anything I'll regret, and to never regret the things I do.

Works out Wonderfully, for me.

Unrequited love used to be my favourite pastime. But then I got over it.

I live in constant unrequited love.

It's the story of my love life.

We should have a conversation about pasts one day. It occurs to me that you know very little of mine. Hmm...

You mean the term 'MAY MESTER' doesn't accurately answer that? :)

Well, actually, it doesn't end in May.

I have a class Monday and a final on Wednesday. It will be over on the 6th.

Then I'll take the next few days to die and remind myself to stop being so masochistic about school.

damn OCD. I see it happening, but I can't stop it.

It's happening again tonight as well, with the vague excuse that I'm catching up from last week, and it has a limit ("it" being reading past friends' pages on LJ)
