Let it go to voicemail...

Last night I didn't feel like interacting with the world. I put the cell phones on silent, made a nice snack for myself, and watched a few episodes of the first season of The OC. Around 11 or so, I got up to get a glass of water, noticing I had a couple missed calls. Caitlin, a girl I know, wanted to go to Dallas and didn't want to go on her own. I I reluctantly agreed to go. One thing about Caitlin, as sweet as she can be at times, drama and her go hand in hand. It requires a lot of energy to hang out with her.

So I go.

As soon as I arrive, friends of mine who were there, invited me to go downtown with them. But I had decided to go to the bar with Caitlin so I decline. I hang out there and let Caitlin do her thing.

Near the end of the night I see her and some friends of hers collecting their things and start heading for the front door. She was just going to leave me there, not even saying goodbye.

After she left, I stood at the bar, tilted back the Lonestar to my lips, and swallowed the last sip of cold beer and smiled.

That is what voicemail is for...

I am 21 years old and superficial to the bone. I would rather talk behind people's backs then have the courage to say the shit to their face. I have a heart...a big one actually....But do I really ever expose that part to anyone? I guess I could blame it on my parent's divorce or my awful two year relationship and recent breakup with that same guy....Or I could grow up and stop whinning about the past and move on.I am the Caitlin character from "Let it go to Voicemai.l" I am the person who screwed over another so I could drive to my ex-boyfriend's hotel and screw him. The truth hurts, but I have to set the score straight! This is my apology to John. You still had good things to say about me in your blog...even after I blew you off. I will make this up to you. I don't always go to class on time, or wake up with all my clothes on in the morning after partying, but I am true. And this will be resolved. For all who read this or the few that lay eyes on my confession please don't judge me for what I have done to JOhn. Like JOhn I have a heart, maybe not quite as big as his...but something is there I assure you. And Mr. Ferell don't let it go to voicemail!
