umm, is that what u heard? cause that's not what i said...

let me start off by saying this is not the rant of a bitter woman lol. i am not bitter. i am confused.

*insert puzzled face*

i just got off the phone with a girlfriend, whom i called because i wasn't sure how to respond to a picture mail i had just received from a former (short-lived) beau. i didn't want to be mean, and since i knew i was already predisposed lol, i thought i would call for a fresh opinion. the message had no words, just a button-up-vest-and-tie-in-the-front-seat-of-his-car-complete-with-shades picture, sans a smile. albeit a nice (somewhat-posed) shot, my question was what was i supposed to do with it and how was i to reply? it was unsolicited and we hadn't spoken in quite a while. we ended, not on the friendliest of notes, and while we've conversed (uneasy small talk) here and there, i'd made it quite clear that i had no interests in rekindling anything. at least i thought i had. and even when i was (notice the italics) open to the thought, when asked what he could do to make it better, among the items discussed was no mention of a text-messaged picture of him in his sunday best...with no words.
