That's how Joe referred to some of my May strips. The semester was finally ending, and what should have been happy times ended up being stressful, and angry times for me. Like I mentioned in April's page, my girlfriend had just broken up with me.

At the time, I wanted to be civil. She did ask if we could be friends, and I said yes, but one day around late April, as I was wondering how she was doing, I asked her if she wanted to come and eat lunch with me. She later admitted to me that night that she had been avoiding me because it was "too painful"

Now that's pure bullshit, if I ever heard it before. That, coupled with rumors of her being interested in that guy (and me seeing them together once) got my face slapped hard several times by reality: I got had, and after spending all that time, effort, and money, I had nothing to show for it. I had stopped talking to a LOT of people because of her jealousy (while she continued to hang with whoever she wanted, regardless of how I felt about it).

I think what made me even angrier was knowing that she had been going out while all the schoolwork I had, was keeping me home (capstone classes, man). I did a lot of drinking, a lot of it being alone in my room. And it was during one of these beer-ings that I stumbled over my keyboard, and bought mistersausage.com!

Hey, all's well that ends well, right? I'll find a nice girl. Sooner or later. Maybe I should stop working on this damned page and go out and get a life, huh?
