Is Everyone's Ex Crazy?

So my best friend Peter just broke up with his boyfriend Travis, and it's been... well... interesting.

Okay, so here's a little back story: Peter and Travis got together last year (during Peter's freshman year of college) and they were really happy. For the past few months, however, things have been a little off between them. They worked on it, but finally Peter decided that the problem was not going to be fixed, and for the benefit of both people involved in the relationship, it was the best decision to break it off. Pretty much your standard breakup story, yea? Well... this is where it gets interesting.

So the day after they broke up, Peter got a call from Travis asking him if he wanted to hang out. A little weird, if you ask me, since Travis had just been dumped the night before, but I guess that's not for me to judge... and Peter apparently decided the same thing, so he accepted the invitation. So pretty much since then, Travis has been acting like he and Peter are still going out: calling Peter to hang out, inviting him and his friends out at night, etc. Peter called me several times to talk about it and the most I could manage on these occasions was a vague, "uhh... that's kind of weird... but I'm not sure what you should do... maybe throw some water on him? He might melt like that person in that movie?"

Anyways, Travis texted Peter last night to see if he wanted to hang out. Peter had a lot of homework and a few meetings to go to, so he told Travis that it probably wouldn't happen. Well, it turns out that Peter got done with his work a lot quicker than expected, but (being a normal person and remembering that he had just broken up with Travis) accepted an invitation to go see a movie from another friend. Whilst in said movie, Peter received a text from Travis asking if he could drop by Peter's apartment and hang out. Peter told Travis that he was in a movie, and they agreed to meet up afterwards.

So when Peter and Travis finally got together, Travis spent a good amount of time trying to convince Peter that they should get back together.... but abruptly after doing this said "I was going to punch you in the face earlier. I wanted to break your nose." Weird? Yea... I would say kind of weird. Not as weird as him later asking Peter if he would "just hold him."

I'm not sure exactly what was going on there, but these actions combined do not, to me, scream "I am a reliable person who would be able to mentally and emotionally handle a steady social relationship right now, would you like to join me?!" Instead, if I were Peter, I'd be more inclined to steer clear of further contact and avoid wearing bright colors in public for the near future.

I have to say, I am not one who should be giving anyone relationship advice seeing as how I often find myself sitting in the corner at a coffee shop frantically looking around to make sure nobody is staring at me and judging me for being alone in a coffee shop drinking my coffee. I may not be the best judge of intentions... so maybe I should ask people who read this to leave a comment and give their take on the situation: outrageously crazy, or something to be expected?

First Post... YAY!!!

So, I'm going to warn you now, this is not my first go around with this whole blog thinge. Yes, I'll admit it... I'm tarnished goods... I've been around the block as they say... I only hope you can forgive me and learn to love me anyways!

So I hear this post is the one where you're supposed to tell everyone about yourself, but I figure if I did that, then you would probably have no reason to read the rest of the posts I write, so I am punching custom in the face and walking over it's unconscious body and forging my own path.

I guess I can help you out a little, though... We can start with really simple stuff that some of you were probably too lazy to click around and find yourselves (don't worry... that wasn't an insult.. I'm just assuming that some of you are like me that way). My name is Kaiti and I live an entirely uninteresting life going to college in North Carolina. I do have some fun stories for you, though. I promise!

I decided to start my own blog because I enjoy reading other people's blogs. Especially funny people that make me pee myself I laugh so hard. I probably shouldn't have said that because I'm now realizing that I've probably just built a lot of people up for a blog that might just be pee-inducingly funny, and I'm not sure I can deliver such delight to you. Sorry, just being honest! I don't want to seem all hot-shot smarty-pants I-think-I'm-really-hilarious-but-I'm-probably-actually-a-lame-douche... so... just don't get your hopes up! Or do... but prepare to maybe possibly be disappointed.

Okay, so I've only managed to tell you a few things so far... let's try for one more... I love shiny things... and I don't mean shiny like bling bling or anything, but brand new things. Like my shiny new blog for instance!!! You may be wondering why I bring this up, but I just want to warn you of my obsession before it just jumps out from behind a corner and accosts you with it's overwhelming strength. It would have before long. I can promise you. I have the uncanny ability to rant and rave for hours on end about something I saw in a shop window that I have never tried before but I am sure must be the most exciting thing to ever enter my life... and if I do end up getting said shiny new object, then I will continue to support it's awesomeness even if evidence crops up that hints at the possibility it might not be as mind-blowingly fantastic as I once thought. It doesn't matter. I will love it anyways. This is mainly a warning so if I have opinions about a product that I write about that popular opinion hates, and I seem to love against all facts and logic, you know why. It's because I am crazy and obsessive. No big deal.

Alright, so I figure I've overloaded you with enough information and scared off the weak-hearted. For the rest of you who survived... YOU ARE THE NEXT LEADERS OF THE WORLD! Or maybe a few people that are weird enough to enjoy my ramblings about the strange things I notice in my life. Thanks for reading!
