What will it take?

My birthday is coming up. I'm a Halloween baby. I've been secretly dreading this particular birthday because of one reason-- my ex-boyfriend. In the five and a half years that we were together, I never got a birthday card, Christmas card, or Valentine's card.

What did I find in my mail box today? Eight months after I broke up with him?? I didn't open it, but I assume it was a birthday card. Here's the kicker-- it was taped to some old card I sent him back in 2000. Probably some twisted attempt to get me back. But I've been free of him for too long to go back now. Besides, why would I?

What will it take for him to leave me alone? How much longer do I have to worry everytime I hear a loud noise outside, or hear the door bell ring? How many more abusive/ suicidal e-mails will I have to get from him before he gets it?!? Christ, it's been 8 months!!!

I wasn't allowed to hang out with my own friends outside of school for the whole time I was with him. When I made really good friends, (such as Phuong and Lisa) after we broke up, I used to joke with them. Well, sort of. I used to say that if anything ever happened to me, if I ever just disappeared, that they should tell the police it was my ex-boyfriend. The sad thing was that I actually meant it.

Happy birthday hun! Ex stalkers are always a big bummer, I've had 2 and I thought it was cool till it actually happened. Then I had this girl that would always be at the other end of the bar giving the evil eye to whoever I was with. I told her one of my female friends had the hots for her and her homophobia kicked in and she wasn't around anymore (cough, cough, no names!! You know who you are!) Those were the days, heh.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, Sean! Only 3 days left. Eek! I'm hoping my ex will just take the hint and leave me alone.
