So, I took the longest break from this site. I actually lost my love for websites over the summer. I’m slowly getting it back and will probably provide a real update during fall break (3 weeks or so from now).

I’ve been meaning to write this post a few days ago, but I haven’t had time. Don’t expect any real updates until after I’m home and settled (after finals). I’ll be home a week from tomorrow =].

Washington D.C. isn’t literally my backyard, but it practically is. However, have I ever appreciated having it literally 5 minutes away from me? Nope. When I was little, school field trips were going to D.C. (We, meaning the people in the D.C. metropolitan area call it “D.C.” versus “Washington D.C.”). I never thought D.C. was a special place because I’ve been there a million times and it’s always the same. Yesterday, I went to D.C. with my boyfriend. This was partly because I had to take pictures to paint for my Arts 205 class. This was also partly because we had nothing else to do and I have never gone to D.C. with my boyfriend and figured it would be a nice change.

It was a beautiful day. The weatherman lied to me; he said it was going to thunderstorm. The cherry blossoms were in bloom. Well, it was the Cherry Blossom Festival that was going on. I used to go every year, but stopped because it’s always the same. I love cherry blossoms though. I’m painting cherry blossoms and a bunch of other pictures I took for my Arts 205 class. It’s going to be a “collage” type painting. Well anyway, we spent some time at the cherry blossoms by the Washington Monument.

Afterwards, we walked to a hot dog and pretzel stand, which surprisingly wasn’t overpriced. He ate a hot dog and I ate a pretzel. Then I told him if he didn’t want to stay, we could go back and go somewhere else. He told me if I wanted to stay, we can stay. Of course I wanted to, I simply love being outside. We walked towards the Smithsonian’s Museum of Natural History. He called me a dork because I told him I loved visiting museums. But, at the exhibits, he would call to me and say, “Baby come look at this.” So who’s the real dork? Just kidding.

We had a really good time in D.C. He actually wants to go again to visit other places because he has never explored D.C. on his own before. Well, he only has lived in the area for roughly three years. I love these kinds of dates; they’re so much better than going to a movie and dinner in my opinion. Well, this weekend I’m going home again because I need to get my new debit card because the one I have right now is damaged and I also need to pick up my new glasses (I wear contacts, but just in case I need them.). We decided to finish exploring D.C. together and to have a little picnic by the Washington Monument if the weather permits us to for our one year anniversary.

I’ve included a few out of the 100 something random pictures I took and bothered to upload. I’ll eventually upload the rest to Flickr at some point.

WordPress 2.5 looks kind of weird to me. This is probably because I’m not used to it yet. Yesterday, I tried to upgrade it and for some reason, I kept getting an error. I tried fixing it again today and it worked. I think my connection yesterday was too weak and it interfered with my uploading. Anyway, I’m finally back from that unexpected break. I had “blogger’s block” and couldn’t think of anything to blog about. After a while, I became extremely busy with school work and started lagging on the web. I’ll write a “real” blog tomorrow or so. As for now, I have catching up to do on blogs.

So my boyfriend, Alex’s ex-girlfriend is psycho… Okay, that may be an exaggeration, but I think she needs help. She’s very obsessive and clingy. Sadly, I knew she was attached to him before, but I didn’t think it was this bad. I’m not threatened or intimidated by her, so that’s okay.

It has been about three years since they have broken up (I met him over a year ago.). She cheated on him with some guy she’s currently with. He was very hurt and began to hate her for what she has done. A little while after they broke up, he moved to the states from the Dominican Republic with his dad, sister, and brother to “get a better education.” She wrote him e-mails everyday and he wasn’t over her at that point, so he responded. All of her e-mails included “mi amor” and “te amo,” which means “my love” and “I love you” in Spanish. Keep in mind that, she is so very much in love with her current boyfriend (sarcasm). At one point he stopped talking to her because he began to get over her.

Fast forward a little bit and he’s over her. He met me at this point, but we weren’t together yet because I had a boyfriend at the time. Well, we started talking a lot more and developed feelings for one another. Then I broke up with my boyfriend because Alex was the one I wanted. Alex and I became an official couple and his psycho ex found out. She went crazy apparently. She whined to him and called me a “bitch” and she wished I would die. That’s the psycho-ness coming into play. Well anyway, she told him to break up with me and get back with her. He cussed her out and called her a whore because she basically is a whore. Then he deleted all of his contacts with her and blocked her from MSN Messenger.

She would continuously write him e-mails and he never responded. He showed the e-mails to me last night and they were in Spanish, but I understood enough Spanish to comprehend. She would take pictures with her boyfriend and tell Alex how much in love with him she was. I think she was trying to cover the fact that she lost something good and is never going to get it back. In every other e-mail to him, she would again write “te amo” and “mi amor.” In one of the e-mails, she wrote in Spanish, “I know you love me still hahahaha.” That’s when I came to the conclusion that she was psycho.

Oh I guess I should explain why he didn’t tell me how psycho she was until last night. He says he wanted to protect me. Protect me? I don’t need protection, but I’m glad I finally found out because I think this made us closer. Well, we also talked about my psycho ex-boyfriends, but that’s not important. So what do you think of unhealthy obsessions? I think extremely obsessed and clingy people need help. For example, my friend’s ex-boyfriend from three years ago told one of our friends that he still loves her. My ex-boyfriend from two years ago is “still [supposedly] in love” with me.

EDIT

I decided to ask Alex how their relationship was. He said that they were not together for very long and they did not keep in contact as much as she tries to now. I don’t understand her unhealthy obsession.
