Was the invitation misplaced? Was this a message? Was this a sign? Perhaps there's nothing there, and I'm making this out to be larger than it really was. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe now, at this point, it's history now, but when reminders keep showing up, friends, talking about it, photos on FB, it's like rubbing salt into a wound (do not attempt that at home!). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm as even-keeled as the next fellow, perhaps too stoic, this still tries my patience. At this point, all I think about is damage control, how to react, how to diffuse my own 'upsettedness' (it's not about anger anymore, more annoyance). I just don't want to snap at anyone, but by god, I've beenthisclose to it a few times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alas, like all things, this shall pass, I'm hoping the big karma scoreboard in the sky helps me out.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5364713459443685803-8996676739871898016?l=yippiekiyeh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yippiekiyeh.blogspot.com/feeds/8996676739871898016/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5364713459443685803&amp;postID=8996676739871898016' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5364713459443685803/posts/default/8996676739871898016'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5364713459443685803/posts/default/8996676739871898016'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yippiekiyeh.blogspot.com/2009/08/to-be-bitter-or-not-to-be-bitter-that.html' title='To be bitter, or not to be bitter, that is the question.'/><author><name>yippiekiyeh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05724504042956024684</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://yippiekiyeh.com/roads.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364713459443685803.post-2688132063308067036</id><published>2009-01-27T17:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-03-05T17:06:06.167-08:00</updated><title type='text'>You're so toxic</title><content type='html'>You're toxic I'm slipping under&lt;br /&gt;With a taste of a poison paradise&lt;br /&gt;I’m addicted to you&lt;br /&gt;Don’t you know that you’re toxic&lt;br /&gt;And I love what you do&lt;br /&gt;Don’t you know that you’re toxic&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Nuff said.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5364713459443685803-2688132063308067036?l=yippiekiyeh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yippiekiyeh.blogspot.com/feeds/2688132063308067036/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5364713459443685803&amp;postID=2688132063308067036' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5364713459443685803/posts/default/2688132063308067036'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5364713459443685803/posts/default/2688132063308067036'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yippiekiyeh.blogspot.com/2009/01/your-so-toxic.html' title='You&apos;re so toxic'/><author><name>yippiekiyeh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05724504042956024684</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://yippiekiyeh.com/roads.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364713459443685803.post-4906608191796603560</id><published>2007-09-11T16:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-11T17:03:26.738-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Addicted to Smack.</title><content type='html'>There's this great reverse auction that has me addicted.
