Oh Indie Girl. » Blog Archive

After the break up with my boyfriend. I’ve just wanted to keep it on the down low. I just changed my status on Facebook to Single. I’m just nervous. I don’t want people to freak out and dish me whiney comments. “Oh my god, I’m so sorry. I thought you guys were meant to be. You were going to get married and have twenty babies. And then grow old and play bingo together. OH MY GAWD IT CAN’T BE TRUE”.

And luckily none of those comments are on Facebook yet. I did add some new photos and updated my profile on Facebook. Hoping that would distract people from typing on that little status box. But people sort have worked it out over the past week. On the weekend I had people giving me hugs and love. But to be honest, I am okay. It was a mutual breakup. It was just life, and life goes on. We will always remain friends. And who can predict what will happen in the future. But I feel we both need to be on our own now. I need to grow stronger as a person again. I feel so dependant on him these days. I don’t like that feeling at all. I prefer to rely on myself. I don’t rely on others. People will let you down and always break a promise. Stay true to yourself guys.

Had a nice quiet night with my Mother last night. We watched The Muppet Movie. I’ve come to the conclusion that I want to marry Kermit The Frog.

I had my coffee competition yesterday. It was a lot scarier than last years. I had 4 judges. Christ almighty. I had to make 4 coffees in 3 minutes. I made my coffees in a minute and twenty seconds. I thought that was pretty good. They really enjoyed my coffees, except for my espresso shot. Except they said it was too strong. I asked, you mean too bitter? But no they meant too strong. I had to raise my eyebrow. My overall score was 81%. Last year I scored 85%. But they told my boss judging is a lot harder and stricter this year. I was the last to be judged in my state. The judges told me that I was in a draw with another girl. We’re the top two. So in a month they’re going to work out who deserves to go to the National Comp in Melbourne.

To be honest, I really don’t want to win. I don’t even drink coffee.

I love your post!

I’m glad, at least, that the break up was mutual and that people are giving you your own space. I hate when people get all “*flaps I’M SO SORRY!” at you but I just don’t handle attention well anyway.

Good job on your coffee competition. They told you your espresso was too strong? Isn’t that the point? Lol.

I think that it’s a very mature thing for you to realize that you want to continue to be yourself, an individual. Not a lot of people realize that, even when they get older and they lose themselves more as individuals as time goes on.

Every time I see someone’s status on Facebook change from relationship to single… I NEVER COMMENT. I do not understand why any one would? They do not want their sadness on the public wall! Private message them if you want to give them love… randomly send them a sms…. but come one don’t mention it on their wall.

(can you tell it’s a pet hate?)

(I’m breaking my rule but saying I’m sorry… I know it was mutual breakup, but they still suck.)

Hey there, Belinda! After our wee reunion on Twitter, I decided to mosey on over to OIG and see what was up!

Although I feel a bit weird just popping back in and commenting as if I’ve been reading all along, I’m gonna go ahead and just comment anyway, LOL. xD;

Since I’ve never had a mutual break before — I’ve only broken up with guys because they turned out to be complete assholes, and thus I was extremely happy to get rid of them — I somehow know what you mean about simply not wanting to make a big deal about it. Breaking up doesn’t always have to be the end of the world/a massive drama fest/etcetera. Sometimes it just … Is. :)

And wow, four coffes in three minutes?! Impressive! Espeically when you don’t even drink coffee, LOL. May I ask why you don’t …? I’m only curious as I no longer drink it, either, nor consume anything else with so much as a touch of caffiene in it.

It’s a long story as to why, but basically I think I kinda ODed on caffiene and now my body can’t handle any of it. I’m not a hundred percent sure, though — I could try, like, having a Coke and seeing what happens — But really, my life’s a lot better without caffiene since I stopped having it … So for simplicity’s sake, I just say I’m allergic.

And wow, I’m rambling on wayyy too much, so I’ll end this comment here.

Glad you’re still kickin’ in the blogosphere, baby — I’ve missed you! ^.^

Whoops.

That question mark at the end of my comment was supposed to be a wee alt code heart. x_X;

I hate when people get up in your business when your relationship status changes. I understand that they care, but its just annoying to deal with.

Good luck figuring everything out, love.

I try not to rely too much on others as well but it’s hard. I tend to do so and end up getting hurt over and over again. At least when it comes to friends.

Congrats on the good score on the coffee competition, even if you don’t want to win. It’s pretty cool anyway. :)

I will be your boyfriend on facebook if you want. *hugs*

CONGRATZ! At least they’ll know your service is better than any here in Melbourne - 3mins? I had to wait 15mins for my hot chocolate at Starbucks!

Good luck with the rest of the coffee competition, that seems pretty awesome, and I don’t want to be one of those “awww i’m so sorry” people but breakups do suck. I’m not sure if ur ok with the breakup or not, but whatever it is, hope all is well =]

I admire your strength you have through this breakup. I remember back when Wesley and I broke up. I just did not handle it well at all. :( Fortunately, we got back together and my misery ended. :P It’s good that you guys can remain friends though. It’d be hard for me to just be friends with someone I was in love with though.

hi there. i just wanted to tell you that i love your blog. and i also want to be john lennon when i grow up. :)
