Just finished checking out some videos on the The Daily Show site. Mark Your Calender for August had another great Samantha Bee quote: "For anyone torn between attending the Republican National Convention and the Burning Man Festival, here's a tip: you don't exist."

I sent an e-mail to Andrea earlier this week mentioning the upcoming Farscape mini-series since she doesn't to my recollection watch a lot of TV, but she really liked the first few eps we had watched together. In the short response she mentioned she was coming up to Seattle with friends and maybe we could visit.

Given that I think in the past three years this would be the fourth time she ever came up to Seattle, this is the first time such a thing has been proposed since we stopped dating two years ago. I've got plans most of the day Saturday, so I proposed brunch Sunday. I got a reply that she was leaving early Sunday and so "next time". I countered that I was in fact free until noonish Saturday, and that's where things stand in terms of 'planning'.

Frankly, the whole situation has me anxious for no good reason. She obviously is coming up to Seattle for reasons other than to visit with me, and I do appreciate the gesture of friendship. Call me strange, but I think it is healthy to try to remain friends with people you love if possible even if pursing a more serious relationships is no longer possible, although the whole situation with Kim clearly proves one can take such an ideal to the point of self-destruction.

Still, it stirs up a lot of feelings. I miss her. I miss her quirks and habits. I miss her company and her presence in my life. She said when she was breaking up with me on the phone, "You deserve someone to love you. I'm just not that person." What could one possible say in response to that? Add the excessive drama in the way she went about ending the relationship, the strange revisionist perspective on how we got to that point, the messy emotional state I was in at the time, the stress of starting over in a new town, and I just don't know what I should feel. I just know that I feel a combination of longing to see her, and rejection at not really being all that relevant to her.

Throw in a dose of feeling like an idiot being emotional about her in the first place and I'm definitely glad I have something mindless and distracting to watch on TV before going to bed a little early tonight.
