<< In Case You've Forgotten (Alternate Title : I Totally Freaking Forgot) | Main | Thanks, Yo. Now With Footnotes! >>

Mmmm. Fishy.

I've always been pretty open about myself on this blog. While I don't use my real name, I never minded sharing pictures or true stories or the everyday happenings in my life.  As a matter of fact, I always felt sadness for the bloggers who said that they couldn't talk about...whatever it was they wanted to talk about.  I mean, that's the whole point of a blog, right?

Well, I now find myself staring up at the huge elephant in the living room, mouth agape, wanting to tell you guys how OH MY GOD THERE'S TOTALLY THIS ELEPHANT IN MY LIVING ROOM, PEOPLE.

But I can't.

As of a few weeks ago, I'm no longer with the person I was with for nearly four years.  It's been really hard and really strange...and I can't talk about it because one of the first things she said after the fall was "Please don't write about me on your blog." 

So, other than what I just said, I won't.

So, while I sort this stuff out, you'll just have to deal with all my crappy picture posts and "haha! Google is funny!", because, when I have nothing to say, I put up pictures and pretend I'm doing a good job a'blogging. 

It's my red herring for the situation. I hope you're in the mood for seafood.

 

Or pink. Whatever.

I'm sorry, Chase. That stuff always sucks.

I'm sorry... :( I was wondering how you guys were going to work the whole moving angle. That sucks. I'll keep my eye out for the pink herrings.

That's no good, man. I'll forgo platitudes about fish and how dark things are before dawn, etc. Just know you're awesome. We all think so. We get together at parties and talk about it and then say, "We should have invited Chase," but then we're so embarrassed we forgot in the first place that we don't. But the point is, you're awesome.

Sorry to hear it, Chase. Here's hoping that everything works out for the best!

Aw, I'm so sorry. Take care and good luck with the move.

Oh Chase, honey, I'm so sorry. Email me any time if you need to chat.

It would be killing me to not be able to unload in a safe place where the only people in the room are people who adore you. Or, er, me - in the analogy. I think it says a lot about you that you are respecting that. Big *HUGS* to you, and I'm really wishing now that we were closer so I could help. :-(

WE MISS YOU CHASE!! :-)

Hope you're doing okay - sorry to hear the news. Good luck with the move!

What they said... :( :) {{{}}}

Sorry for you both, kiddo. Extra tough having to remain in the same house together for a while. It'll be better for you both once you don't have to be reminded day after day.

I am so sorry and while I have no clue of the events that led to this, I know that one day you will see this as a good thing that let you grow...but for now, I am just sorry and wish both of you the best. And I have missed you too.

Sorry Chase, I know how hard it is to not be able to write about the one humongous thing on your mind. But you know...discretion. It's not just a bad thing. I'm rather proud of you in fact. Just know we're here waiting to laugh our asses off at your posts whenever you're ready to give them to us.

I'm so sorry to hear about this situation. I hope your move brings you good things and new friendships.
Posted by Karla at November 21, 2006 02:34 PM

Sorry. That sucks. Thinking of you.

I'm so sorry, Chasey poo poo head. I have been a crappy crappy bloggie friend lately. I wish I could call you right now but you are probably asleep, you old slutbag. You both were so sweet to me. I'm sorry it didn't work out. Oy. In the meantime, I need to call you so I can see you when I come into Dallas and we can find out WHO SHOT JR! Loves you, bitchface. XOXO

Chase, I'm really sorry. I admire your restraint, if that counts for anything.

Oh, darlin', I'm so very sorry to hear that, all the while understanding why she wants to remain un-blogtouched. Something's in the water. This breakup thing is contagious and going around and all people in the midst of breakups/separations/divorces need to get the fuck together and have red herring sushi. You're in my thoughts. A lot of big changes for you. Hope you're sleeping and taking care of yourself and getting picked up on by men at the gas station. That's always a mood lifter.

Aw, Chase...I'm sorry. :(
Posted by mamatulip at November 23, 2006 08:49 AM

bummer. so sorry to hear it, chase.
Posted by Dawn (webmiztris) at November 26, 2006 10:03 PM

Chase, I'm a bit late on this, but just wanted to say I'm sorry you're having a hard time. Breakups really just blow, no matter what the circumstances. Hang in there okay.
Posted by TB at November 27, 2006 07:59 PM

Sorry, Chase, it must be tough to be dealing with a breakup AND not to be able to vent about it! (But I'm so glad you're not-- it's the right thing to do since it's between the two of you, and I admire your restraint.) Hope things look up for you soon!
