Well, I just spoke with Tracey and we brought closure to our relationship. We both feel that things weren’t working out, but I dont think we agree on the reasons. She sees that we are right for eachother but haven’t had the chance to be ourselves or accept eachother for who we were. I think it was more of a case of we were not right for eachother which led to our not being ourselves or acceptinge achother. Either way, we agreed that if we were right that our timing was off and things, for whatever reason, weren’t working out.

I am both happy to be out of the relationship and sad about it. It’s a sigh of relief and a bit of grief all bundled together… I try to stay optimistic… for Tracey and for myself.

Went to the oyster festival today with Dave and Kerry… We got there in the early afternoon and started walking around unaware that they changed things a bit since last year. We wandered the streets, “looking for the fair” for a good half hour. We figured that because it was rainy earlier that there weren’t that many people there. We decided to walk back towards the rides and carnival area when we saw the sign for the food pavillion ahead.

Previously, vendors and food shops set up in the streets of the town. Aparently they decided to set up by the docs in teh large parking area…. They had everything there including Hand-dipped Fried oreos. If you haven’t had these before, you HAVE to try them. Basically, they’re Oreo cookies dipped in Zepoli batter and then deep fried. The end result is a completely chewy/chocolaty/creamy cookie in zepoli batter with powdered sugar on top! So good! and I’m not an Oreo lover.

Also had some Hot Wings and what would an Oyster Festival be without seafood, so I got a dozen steamed clams… Yummm! They had lobster there too (my fav) which I passed up….

We had a great time. Next week is gonna be great. I’ll be at the 2003 Auto Expo… I’ll bring the camera and get some good pics.

Okay, so I called Dell and got through to their only sensible technician. Rather than have me reinstall windows after formatting (as the email techs recommended), he actually helped me correct the settings (Why Dell changed them in the first place is beyond me!)… All is well, with the video anyways! I should get the WiFi card on Monday!

Quite a bit P.O.’d at Dell again… I got the new laptop, but I’ve had two problems with it so far. One, the video doesn’t render properly, and two, the wifi card died.

Now, I’ve been emailing Dell Support for a week and they keep changing their mind about what I should do to fix the video problem. One email asked for information to schedule a service call, the next told me to reinstall windows.

Then with the WiFi card, they didn’t include the company name where I requested it be sent and UPS didn’t deliver it cuz they didn’t recognize the name??? (Maybe I’m pissed at UPS for that one, I don’t know.)

I don’t get women!

I’ve let her know that I need to deal with issues when they arise. Not deal with them a week later (or even an hour later)

While in the middle of a discussion, she had to switch phones cuz her cellphone died…. I waited for her to call and even tried calling her back. When I got a busy signal, I jumped online to see if she really had the nerve to log on instead of calling me back. She was online… Well, she was… and a good portion of our conversation was about how I hate it when she cant deal with a problem when it arises, She needs to wait anywhere from a few mins to a few hours to a few days to deal with it. This has always been my biggest pet peeve of women that I’ve dated…. I cant stand it!

At this point, I felt that our relationship should be over so I IM’d her to not bother calling back. Of course, she called back and when I refused to answer, called my mother’s line to have her tell me to call back…. so we’re arguing and she’s pissed because I’m angry that she decides to put our conversation to the side to take care of her errands (check email, call friends, feed the cats, etc..)…. and she hangs up on me.

I think it’s over between us…. I can’t take her bullshit anymore. We’re just not right for eachother… She doesn’t see things my way, I dont see things her way and we just don’t have the capacity to meet in the middle. Kinda sucks but I’d rather break up than put up with it all the time.
