I just got out of a 2 and a half yr long relationship (my only longterm relationship ever), moved to a new city, and have my first real job. Lots of newness for me. But lets back up a little bit....Now, if you were fortunate (aka smart enough) not to attend law school, let me start by telling you that its a terrible place. Super not fun, filled with people who also are no fun. Thankfully, I managed to find a group of people to commiserate with (read: drink heavily and make bad decisions with) which made the experience bearable. Anyway, as a side effect of being in law school, the guy I dated was also in law school with me. Bottom line....FAIL. Note to self: Barbie’s dream man---certainly not an attorney. This of course eliminates half of D.C....Super. Anyway, we will call the ex boyfriend Law School Ken (even though he really isn’t a Ken but for ease of story telling I will call him that). Ken, for those of you not up on your Barbie terminology is Barbie’s perfect boyfriend. So boys that I date will be referred in some way or another as a type of Ken…just trying to be respectful of people’s privacy. Moving on.
So, I am not going to bore you with the unfortunate details of that awful relationship. But lets just say that shortly after graduating and moving to D.C. I broke up with Law School Ken pretty much the first chance I got. Honestly, it was a very messy break up and we are no longer speaking, which is sad and not what I would have wanted but it is what it is. He did not take it well. Probably because he is a self centered immature ass who always gets what he wants and can’t handle it when he doesn’t. Woah, sorry that just slipped out…Anyway, during the period where I was trying to gracefully end that relationship (complete disaster) I started dating someone who I thought/still think could be a potential boyfriend. We shall call him Workaholic Ken.
Obviously you can already see the issue with Workaholic Ken… he works ALL THE TIME. Now I know many of you may be thinking…hmmm she went from that looong relationship right into dating this guy, that sure doesn’t seem particularly healthy. But I think (aside from being funny, ambitious, and super sexy) Workaholic Ken was able to make me forget about the messiness of the break up with Law School Ken. Maybe I should have waited longer to jump into something else, but things happen when they happen. I didn’t go looking for Workaholic Ken he just kind of fell into my lap. Sooo anyway lets fast forward to 6 months later. AKA now. Oh yes. Workaholic Ken is still around. Oh and Law School Ken moved to D.C. FAIL. Soooo unnecessary. So far I have successfully avoided running into him (knock on wood) but I will keep you posted on that front. Next post I will tell you the story of meeting Workaholic Ken. I know you can’t wait.
