i am on my way to my brother's graduation today. after 18 months of rehab, he has a bit of a break. he will enroll into another program in august for three months. i am so excited to see him.

then its atlanta pride this weekend so i'm headed to chris' house tonight to prepare for a huge cookout tomorrow.

monday is knee surgery, but i can handle it.

and...i got a job. summer (post-brooke) has been filled with one excitement after another--something that being with brooke would have dampered completely.

chris is here!!!!! woohoo. FUN!!

for some reason when i enter into relationships i lose track of myself. it sounds as though i become selfless, but that isn't accurate. i just change.

as you might have guessed, i am single again and it feels wonderful. i found out that brooke lied to me about something stupid. the lie catalyzed a mutual breakup. brooke was no good for me. so many people told me that...and i thought that it probably wasn't going anywhere, but i couldn't end it until i became sure. i am sure.

i have no desire to talk to brooke again, but will remain civil because i am over her. she kissed another girl the night after we broke up. that's what a dependent person does i guess. i knew that she'd have someone else within a week, just like she had me within a week after she and her ex of two years broke up. like clockwork.

i see her and her new girlfriend out a lot. i feel sorry for the new gf because i see the same stuff happening in their relationship as happened in mine and brooke's.

i am enjoying single life in chattanooga in the meantime...
