The B-Up

This is what everyone has been waiting for, the sequel to the blog about "long distance relationships". "B-Up" means break up, meaning that my girlfriend and I are no longer together. First, you need to know that I could possibly be one of the most care free guys around, whereas my ex-girlfriend is far from it, to put it mildly. The break up happened back on Halloween when I went to Birmingham to participate in a tennis tournament. I was expecting a great weekend because I was able to see my girlfriend and celebrate Halloween with her. Initially, things were alright between us, but as the weekend passed by I noticed that she was acting a bit strange and was not being herself. I tried shrugging it off at first, because I thought she was still stressed from all of her exams that week and I wanted to concentrate on my tournament. FAIL! However, somehow we managed to get through two days of us pretending that things were okay. Finally, on the night of Halloween, I decided that it was time for us to talk about why was she was acting so strange. The thing is, I’m notorious for having terrible timing, especially since she just got into her Halloween costume. Imagine how hard it was for me to be completely serious when I was looking at a pink themed cowgirl with two guns in holsters! It was so hard for me not laugh; every time she walked her spurs would click. Now this was our first real fight and my first real break up, so I had no idea what to expect. If only I could have read a handbook on the art of consoling a crying cowgirl. In the end, we decided that it was better for us to be separate. The tournament that I wanted to do well at ended in a DISASTER. All in all, that could have been the most unique weekend of my life.
