I'm going to just let this one all out. It's something that needs to be said, but I'm still reeling in anger from it all so I'm sorry if it comes across as something other than what is intended, which is a lesson to be learned.
This past Sunday night I was at a party, *Brandon was there and meeting my friends for the first time. Things were going well until my friend's little sister's party got out of hand and my other friend's cell phone and my ipod speakers got stolen by one of the miscreants in that group. Let's just say that me saying I was furious is not even close to describing how I felt and still feel about it all!!!! Also, at the end of the night, things got physical with *Brandon, and not in a a good way either! There was pushing and kicking and screaming involved. I'm really happy my friends were around when it happened and that they were there to back me up! I mean I can for sure take care of myself, but having 10 of my best friends around to support me and protect me was the best possible scenario for it to all go down. Don't worry I'm not hurt and nothing is broken except his ego. He was drunk and I had moved him out of my way first, with plenty of warning that he needed to get out of my way and let me pass, all of which went unheeded..that isn't an excuse though and I know that, but has since said he was sorry for what he did. Sorry does not cut it in these situations! It just doesn't!!!!. ..I really do have the best friends that a girl could as for!!!!!! Things are done and over with this guy and I don't intend to see him again. For all you ladies out there reading this, just know that NO guy has a right to lay their hands on you and not that that gives you the right to touch them either, but under no circumstance should you ever feel like it was your fault that you got hit or pushed or whatever. We are stronger than that and we deserve better!!!!!!!..I really do love all my friends! Thanks for everything guys!!!!
Despite what has gone down, I'm not entirely turned off by the notion of online dating. I know a few people who have met really decent partners online and that have gone into serious relationships with the people behind the online profiles. I don't think it's a bad thing at all, I think it's just something that should not be entered into lightly. People should be aware of the possible dangers of online dating, as was I.
A few words of advice: 1)Always meet in public first, second, third times. After the third date or so, Make it a point to introduce them to your Friends. We all know that we value our friend's opinions but when it comes to online dating, seeing how they act around your friends and the people that you trust the most is important because they may be putting a front on for you and act differently when around others. 2)Trust your gut. If something feels wrong, ask questions. find out answers and never ever be afraid to stand up for yourself. 3) Don't let them pressure you into anything your don't want to do. if it feels right, do whatever you want. If it doesn't, then say good night and walk away. 4)With that being said, I don't regret sleeping with him because at the time things felt right. I don't regret anything that happened between us prior to this event. Shit happens and you have to learn to deal with it, but unless something tragic or life altering takes place, such as injury, death, pregnancy, etc., don't let things that you have done be regrets. take them as lessons to be learned and remember and know better for the next time. Nothing in life should be truly regret because there is always something to be learned from every experience.
On a few lighter notes, to be honest, I'm happy to be single right now:). I get to do what I want and possibly with whoever I want. i intend to go to concerts and on this upcoming trip to the UK and meet new people and expedience new things. I'm young and ready and willing to take what comes my way and take life by the horns! Also, I know I mentioned this before, but I am still trying to write a new Featured Band post.I'm been trying to get in contact with some bands that I want to feature and see if they'll answer my questions so that I can write a band writeup similar to the one that I was able to do for Your Favorite Ex. I'm hoping to have it up soon!
