Simply put, I need some drama in my life. Today, I got some.

Nate and Melissa broke up.

Wow.

They had been together for almost 3 and a half years, recently even living together. Ben and I had a bet going as to when Nate was going to pop the question and get engaged and all that fun stuff. Apparently, that's not going to happen.

It wasn't the result of an affair or a massive fight, and I'm actually pretty pleased at how they're handling it. As pleased as one can get in this situation.

As it is, Melissa had quit school for Nate a long time ago. She decided that he was most important at that moment and chose to stay with him instead of continuing her education. I respected her decision - we all did. It didn't matter our opinions on it, just that she was ultimately happy with her decision and that it was what she thought was right.

I guess, lately she's been thinking about returning to school. She wants to finish University and earn her diploma; get a career. She and Nate have occasionally brought it up, but neither has had the courage to bring it out and into the open for long discussion until a few days ago. They have been talking about it over the weekend, and the ultimatum was made by Nate. She could stay and they'd be together, or she could go, but there was no way in Hell he was going to have a long-distance relationship, ever. Her education took priority, and now she is at her friends house and Nate and her have broken off their relationship.

This is what I awoke to at 11 this morning. Melissa was crying downstairs, watching TLC and eating grape Popsicles with great fervour. Mum explained to me what had transpired.

I supposed I'm a little proud of her decision to follow her dreams, yet a little disappointed as well in the fact that after 3 years, she and Nate couldn't hold it together for a couple of months, weeks even, to try a long-distance relationship. Truthfully, I don't think it would have worked out, but I'm sure they could have at the very least given it a shot. Owell, that's all over now. She is going to move out of their shared house, gather her things (and her courage) and go back to TRU. It being so close to September already, there is not way for her to get in as such a close time, so I suspect she'll be applying for either the second semester courses or for next year. At the moment, she's staying with us and her friends. My grandparents are here still, but they are returning to Kamloops in the week and it's not said whether or not she will be departing with them to rent with our cousin there.

So, enough drama for me? I assure you, after all of that, it wasn't nearly enough. I'm beginning to think that I'm a bit of a drama-whore. I need something HAPPENING in my life. Sitting at home, eating granola bars, allowing myself to slouch through the day, wasting away in a computer chair is not what I call drama - not in one bit. If I was a book right now, I be dreadfully boring. You'd probably trade me for a Klondike bar.

+ Artist list is (again) on hold.

+ I've turned to the OUT-side. Sleeping in a tent is amazing.

+ Had a terrible craving for chips and dip today. When I caught a glimpse at a Philly Cream Cheese commercial I almost ate the T.V.

+ Grad gifts are getting closer to being completely conceived, yet so far away from being purchased. More news on that soon, promise.

+ You Are Remarkable!
+ Family photos! A whole new blogpost on that, I assure you. ;3
