Unbelievably Past-Due Update - by Kitty
Topper’s totally right. We have been quite remiss in posting. Yes, holidays holiday holidays and winter blahs have contributed. But also: laziness! So in Monday morning ESPN-style wrap-up, let me get you up to speed. When I last left off the T.P. story I had predicted the Facebook “In a Relationship” status would be changing in a week. My timing was off. But my instincts were right fucking on. We agreed to see each other over the holiday while the poor, unknowing Paperbag Head was out of state. Yes, I felt shitty about that. As LOML (love of my life) and I were breaking up, I said the words, “I don’t know how woman could knowingly do that to another woman.” God, women suck. Because the simple answer is: I cared more about me than I cared about her.
We’ve been sleeping together and stealing moments together when we can. And I have to admit, having him every once in a while is kinda nice. She is the one who has to have him as The Boyfriend and I get to be the one that has him as it suits us both. It’s like getting to eat the icing off the cupcake with no one telling you you have to eat the cake, too. But the creeping feeling of, “Oh, shit. What if he actually breaks up with her and wants to be with me again?” has been omnipresent. Do I want him back? Or do I just like the competition? Do I just want to win? All those things I said about him being annoying are still true. He didn’t get any smarter or fitter or…anything. He still is who he is. And I am who I am. Nothing important has changed. Is it just winter and do I just want a warm, snuggly thing in my bed? What the fuck am I doing here? Ultimately, I just don’t know.
And then tonight, I took a look at his Facebook page. You may have guessed it: His relationship status is now gone. There’s no hot-link connecting him to her anymore. Shit.
