I love bacon! I respect the people who don't, but seriously bacon is one of the greatest things ever! Aside from the fact that it is greasy and generally not very good for you, it's delicious. I love pork bacon the most, but I'll have turkey bacon every once and a while. I like my bacon crispy, not raw. It can't be too crispy though because then it doesn't taste right. I love eating bacon with maple syrup or regular pancake syrup poured on top when I'm craving sweets. If I'm in a salty mood, I use ketchup.
Boys are like bacon, some are really awesome and some not so awesome. Jeff, my fairly recent ex-boyfriend, was a really awesome piece of bacon. Ok, I'll stop with the bacon metaphors :P Well Jeff isn't his real name nor do I know any boy named Jeff. Jeff and I started officially dating about a little over 2 years ago now! We were extatic to be together, young and naïve. Jeff and I were and are truly good friends. We went to movies, hung out at each other's places, met each other's parents, the typical dating scenario. I was his first girlfriend and he was my first boyfriend. I have had another relationship with a good friend but it was never really on, we only made out once, he lives somewhere else but that doesn't matter at the moment. haha I swear I'm not a hormone crazy sult! (I meant to write it like that) Anyways! Jeff and I know a lot about each other and know probably most of each other's secrets. He is a really respectable person, I always felt privileged when he would open up and tell me stuff about him. I pretty much feel that with almost everyone, but with Jeff, it was different.
Jeff and I have so much in common, morals, sports (except wrestling), music, etc. We first broke-up 3 months after we started dating. I did the breaking up because I wasn't happy in the relationship nor was he. It was easy to tell we weren't connecting and I was the one with the guts to do it. I actually HAD to be the one with the guts to do it because I knew he didn't want to hurt me which was nice but when it comes to this stuff where you're both miserable, it's not nice. We got back together on his birthday that same year. I realized how much I had actually missed hanging out with him. Before we did get back together, it made me mad seeing him sometimes because he couldn't even look at me and say ''Hey'' or smile at me in the halls at school. Now I didn't expect him to look at me and be happy with me, but the fact he didn't even try to acknowledge me. I looked like the bad guy too! Jeff was pretty popular at our school and I came to that school only knowing one person. (Not Jeff, though) So of course I've made a good reputation for myself but I felt even around my family and friends that I was the bad guy for breaking us up. Everyone always told me how cute we were together and how we'd have the cutest kids if we got married. I agree with those things, but it's not fun being the bad guy. Now Jeff took the break-up REALLY hard, I felt awful because I couldn't say it to his face. This is going to sound TOTALLY lame but I broke-up with him over MSN Messenger.
It's not as bad as it sounds though! You can write as much as you want on MSN! Jeff and I ''chatted'' for a solid 30 minutes and we said what was needed to be said. Jeff is quiet and didn't always put in the effort needed to keep up the relationship. Now I know women bug men about this ALL the time, but I think that our relationship was really laid back because I didn't ask him for anything, except to pick me up when we went out. He didn't ask me for anything either. I always have had a hard time bringing up issues with him because he doesn't like to talk about issues because he doesn't want to change things about those issues. I think that it would've been helpful if I had brought up the issues that I wanted to talk about with him. I was always afraid to talk about issues with him because I didn't want him to be mad at me. I'm sure he wouldn't have because he's not an angry person and he's careful with how he treats me.
After we started to date again, things rose up to be really awesome! We had our 1 year anniversary and things seemed swell. Then things started to die down sort of like they had before. I waited 3 months to see improvement with his non-talkativeness and non-texting or calling me or saying at school ''Hey! Wanna hang out?'' Our second Valentine's Day pushed me over the edge. We weren't able to got out on Valentine's Day because he had wrestling practice. He has wrestling practice everyday except Sunday, which also created part of the issue. Since we couldn't go out then, I told him that he has to make the plans for the day that we can go out together. Well, we planned for the Friday of that week. As Friday got closer, I grew more and more anxious, knowing that he most likely hasn't even thought about it but also telling myself that he's going to pick up the attitude and he'll make plans. I asked him in Biology class what time he was going to pick me up at and the first thing he said was ''Uhh...I dunno, like 7?'' I was all ok, great! But in my head I was all oh siht! are you kidding me?
When Friday came around, I was all excited because we were finally going to go out and I was all dressed up and we get into his car when he picked me up and I asked "So, what are we doing?" Jeff said, "I dunno, what do you wanna do?" So it was clear that he actually hadn't made any plans which only surprised me a bit. So we went to the coffee shop that we normally went to and then we order our drinks and he's going to pay, like usual, and then he realizes that he forgot his wallet. Really?! I was so upset but I paid and things were fine. He didn't completely slip-up because he did buy me a necklace, from Wal-Mart :P, at least it's pretty. And a box full of cinnamon hearts. With a card. Now, Jeff is a sensitive guy so I don't want his feelings to be hurt, and I was really grateful for what he got me, yeah it's from Wal-Mart, but it's nice. I got him chocolates, a heart-felt card that I wrote an essay in. (Just a long note) And a big priced iTunes card. He felt bad that he didn't get me much but still, and I even felt bad for him. He dropped me off afterwards and once I walked into my house and told my mom and sister about it, it hurt later because I had finally realized how I had been hijacked. And I'm not talking about the gifts.
