Third Time's the Charm
I was reluctant to mention it before on my blog, but Mr. Pilot and I got back together about two weeks ago. I approached a third try at our relationship with some trepidation, since the break-up in early May was so painfully gut-wrenching. After some consideration, however, I thought that it was worth giving it another shot. After all, as Ms. ADA pointed out, "Whatever happens, you'll at least know you gave it your all and more than its fair share of chances."
So for the last two weeks we've been back together as a couple. We spent the night at his place a couple of times, did the Virginia Wine Festival last weekend, went to the movies and a lecture this weekend, talked for hours every night, and in general dropped right back into the "relationship" mode.
It was perfect, and just enough time to loosen my guard before getting fucked over again with the "I'm sorry and I wish it were different, but I just don't see a future together" speech, which was delivered at precisely 2:53 p.m. this afternoon.
Unlike last time, dear reader, I will graciously spare you the emotional fallout from this break-up, since I feel it will have little therapeutic value for me (unlike kicking something, which is almost assuredly a more effective recovery method) and little entertainment value for you.
At the same time, please be by your phones for the next few days in case I need to commiserate. Or, more likely, need you to bail me out of jail for disorderly conduct. And vandalism. And possible felony assault.

Call me *anytime* --- though my bank account isn't large enough to absorb a hefty bail amount!?
And Mr. Pilot, congratulations on the death of your soul. May the fires of karmic hell keep you warm.
