You know you are over somebody when...
On the weekend a friend of mine was over staying with us. Since we live in different cities, getting together always means an overnight visit. She is presently in a fairly complicated situation, and over the course of several hours and a couple of bottles of wine, we ended up composing a list...
Most points are less than serious, some are more so (I'll leave it to you to determine which is which ):
You know you are over somebody when....
1. The sound of their name does not:
(a) send you on a murderous rampage
(b) induce a flood of tears
(c) cause you to reach for that stiletto tucked in your belt
2. You no longer repeatedly phone up the authorities insisting that the said person be either committed or jailed.
3. The phrase "DNA testing," does not automatically send you scurrying to the nearest medical facility.
4. You successfully resist the urge to call their house posing as a nurse from the local STD clinic...while their new significant other is at home.
5. You refrain from spending your Friday nights calling every pizza joint in their area at 10 minute intervals, thus arranging for pizzas to be delivered to their doorstep throughout the evening.
6. In the dark hours of the night, you are able to think of the person purely as a friend, and be at peace with that.
7. You spend time with the person and laugh just because of the sheer pleasure of being (note: laugh *with* them, not 'at them')
8. You no longer fantasize about their public humiliation.
9. You stop researching legal cases involving "justifiable homicide."
10. You actually remember they still have breath resembling a dragon's the morning after the night before.
11. You start enjoying all of that extra space in your bed.
12. They no longer have to threaten you with restraining orders because of that telescope you had trained on their bedroom window
13. You successfully make it through Valentine's Day with your faculties intact...
14. Those happy couples foolish enough to cross your path on Valentine's Day survive with all limbs intact.
15. You finally refrain from putting up posters of his/her photo with the words "Wanted: Dead or Alive," near all local gang hangouts and crime syndicates.
16. You can sincerely say you have no regrets about the relationship and that you would do it again, knowing all you do now
17. Chopping wood ceases to be your favourite past time.
18. You enjoy spending time with them and can exchange a parting hug without hurt or fear.
19. You can listen to music you associate with that person and smile.
20. You stop feeding your dog raw steak wrapped in your former lover's old sock.
21. You have quit trying to sneak into their yard in an attempt to feed their dog chocolate-flavoured Exlax.
Feel free to add

HAHAHAH GOLD!!
Some of those are just petty, but some are good ones. Especially the music thing. There are definately songs I assosciate with girls I've been with.
As for the enjoying space in your bed feeling... hmm. Dunno. I like snuggling.

*nods* Certain places, songs, activities, things remind me of certain people, not to mention locations too. . .
Subway reminds me of my ex Cassie
Ani Difranco reminds me of Jenica
Painting reminds me of Jenica and Lina
Ice cubes remind me of Lori
Brooms remind me of this girl Stacy
The town Marion reminds me of someone named Tim
The town of Canandaigua reminds me of cheap vodka
Primer 55 (band) reminds me of Tim and my old roommate Chris
Knee pads make me think of Alexander Bay
Valentines day makes me think of dead friends
Well, I guess that's a good enough idea, just started rambling, that's kind of interesting to think about actually. Hmm, that might be fun to just make a list. Anyways, it's easy to have an attatchment, whether or not that is a good thing doesn't change that.
[QUOTE=hill1]27. You dont twitch whenever someone mentions the word chain. [/QUOTE]
That's a really hard one though. I mean, of all the things that are on the top list of things you say "I'll never forget...", just about anything involving chains outside of securing cargo at work is going to be pretty far up.

for you, it's never been "early"
there were good things but this one:

that is a BS IMO.. i mean i can say for a certainty that no matter how many millennium's pass i would never do it again..
although i might be the 0.0000000000000001% freaky exception though

I know this one all too well. After my ex broke my heart 3 weeks ago, there literally was nowhere I could go to escape the memories. Every part of my apartment was tainted, every show or movie I might watch, every computer game; I couldn't even drive anywhere without thinking about the fun times we had in my car (we held hands, pervs... okay, there was other stuff, too). And I got my job because I didn't want to appear as a lazy bum who mooched off his parents, so even my job isn't safe.
28.) When you forget their name, and/or forget all the good/bad times you had together.
29.) When everything on TV lately is about relationships and breaking up and reminds you you actually aren't over your ex.
I did that yesterday morning; it caught me by surprise actually. I know I have a bad memory, but mistaking their name for a food you don't eat is just bizarre. And quite frankly, the last few days, I've been hard-pressed to remember any moments, happy or not so, in the relationship, but I still get upset occasionally. Last night I was watching South Park and it was the episode with the little restaurant Raisins; I thought it was so sad how Stan was going through the break-up with Wendy (I sympathized severely), but the episode as a whole was so freaking funny.
30.) When you fool around with someone and don't scream your ex's name.

"How do I know I'm over someone? Well, pilgrim, I'm over 'em when they're lying flat on their back in my bunk and I'm straddling their quivering thighs, 'cause then I'm over them AND on top of them. That's right, mister, I'm back in the saddle and ridin' straight and tall just like the missionaries... wait a minute, why am I telling you this? Go on, get out of here, kid, and take all those whips and funny leather suits with you."

You left out the rest of the sentence. It should read:
When you try the female gender and discover DW is judge, jury, and executioner.

You know, I have a friend my age who's lonely, cute and single and that line would drive her just insane. She's quite obsessed with John Wayne. I don't know why, but...some things just don't make sense with me either.

And a few misguided people around here think *I'm* corrupt!
I never realised you had such an affinity for equestrian sports
