Ugh. My GF for over the last year broke up with me last night.

We had been fighting (stupid little fights) but she said it was getting toxic.

I'm sad because we would typically trade text messages all day long so I keep checking my phone for one out of habit and then I get disappointed.

This was the same chick that I brought to Pearl Jam in MN, too!

great idea.

you said that you've got a cold? how does your voice sound?

i think a thinly veiled threat coming from a sickly person is just what this situation needs.

He won't say anything. He lost his voice so it will be a creepy whisper
