Why not?

I'm really upset that he doesn't want to try to work it out. I'm willing to change to be a better girlfriend, I'm willing to make sacrifices. It's really heartbreaking to discover that your significant other of two years refuses to do the same. Do I mean nothing to him?

I want him to be the one who sweeps me off my feet.
I want to wake up next to him every morning.

But if he's not willing to change, then he can kick it with his lone misanthropic self while I travel the seven seas. I was fine before him, and I'll be fine without him. I deserve more than that.

Something Sandy can't do

It may come as no surprise to those of you reading this, but I don't see children in my future. Not now, not in ten years, not ever. I enjoy my life the way it is and I want it to myself. I don't want to share it with some pinsky little dipshits.

I don't want to rush home from work because Junior decided to pee his pants.
I don't want to waste tickets to the play because we couldn't find a nanny.
I don't want to worry about whether the kid is going to college and who's going to foot the bill.
I don't want to postpone my life and aspirations.

It's a bit of a shame too. I feel like as a woman I've got this great ability to make life, but because I've decided not to have children that I'm wasting it. Granted, it's not like I've got an IUD (Peaches is the best teacher), but I've made this choice and I will do what it takes to prevent becoming pregnant.

To the cutest little buckethead

I received a slick little MP3 player.

I can finally listen to Joanna Newsom at work without having my coworkers think I'm a total freak. And you know what else I can do? I can listen to Danse Macabre and no one in the gym can criticize my appreciation for the Faint.

This is a pretty awesome gift. When I first got the package, I was ready to write in big bold letters on the box: RETURN TO SENDER. I didn't want this piece of $%^&. I am perfectly content and I don't need these material objects to complicate my life. But when I heard Joanna Newsom's voice come in loud and clear through the earbuds, I convinced myself that I really did want-no, need this.

Thanks for all you've done with you know, complicating my life.
