The End of an Era and the (hopeful) Start of a New One
I have made a conscious decision that going forward from this moment on, the Era of Elena is officially over. Although she has been prevalent in this space pretty much since its inception oh so long ago on Blogger, it is time to finally close that chapter once and for all. The Era of Elena is over. Its time to hopefully start a new one, and I got a good feeling so far. Details below, a litte further down, but just read, its easier.
Jen and I hungout again last night, doing absolutely nothing exciting. I swear, I think its a world record for two people to reach a comfort zone. She came over last night, I did my laundry and ironed as much as I could stand, and she organized some stuff she needed to do for the railroad job she wants. No dinner, no movie, just sitting around the house, chilling. There was some chocolate cream pie my mom made in the fridge that we indulged on a little, but thats about it. But even doing that was OK. Good company, you know?
When I spoke to Jen yesterday before she came over she said she couldn't wait and that she already called Elena to tell her that she was hanging out with me. According to her, Elena thought it was hilarious, small world and all, and really talked me up, saying what a great guy I was, affectionate, kind... all that good stuff. So thanks for that. I realize that there really isn't anything bad she could say about me, because in the grand scheme of things, she did a lot worse to me than I ever did to her.
So just out of curiousity I called Elena earlier today and she said again how funny she thought the situation was and that she couldn't be happier for me because Jen is a great girl. Elena then said that we should all go out on a double date, as we're all friends now and that she is in fact seeing someone new. So good for her, but the double date? Bad idea if you ask me. I think, and I have agreement from a lot of people around me, that its finally time to stop talking to Elena. If Jen wasn't to rekindle a friendship with her, thats cool, but I'd like to be excluded from as much as that as possible. Its just too weird, way too weird, you know?
Here it is one last time. The Era of Elena is over and I shall try my best to never mention her name again in this space. If I do, feel free to yell at me. I'd deserve it. And here's to hoping that a new Era with a new girl is in fact beginning and that it will be good. I do have a good feeling.
