The lowdown on the DL in the ATL

First and foremost, Subway salads SUUUUUUUUCK.  I'm eating one now, and I am not having a good time.  It's watery and flavourless and just all-around crap.   But I was completely starving and I figured this would be better than any other junky shit I would cook up.  Hmm that bite just had a banana pepper in it--salad taste just improved 9000%.
 
So I had my dad in town over the weekend.  It was cool, and I very much enjoy having him around, but the emotionally stunted part of me begins to nic and DT out late night and I found myself ducking out not once, but twice to meet my smoky and drunky friends.  It made me feel like shit, but I did it anyway.  What is my problem?  I'm so effing lame.
 
Anyway, dropped my pop off at the airport and cried like a baby all the way back to the car.  Made the ditching him twice make me feel even more guilty.  Sometimes I think I may be a mental masochist.
 
So I ran into a boy I met a couple of years ago this weekend.  He is very nice and handsome and fun to hang out with.  I made out with him once when on a break with Kev, then got back together and never called him.  Because I am an asshole.  What, how could I be a bigger asshole?  Why, I'll tell you!  He has a kid.  And this is perhaps the most effective Eleanor-repellant around.  Because instead of being a fucking dick and ditching his responsibility, he owned up to his actions and has an active, mature role in his child's life.  And the fucking dick option frightens me less.  I don't know what to do, I had a really good time with him--but have since noticed that I have already thought up 83 reasons why it probably won't work.  K pointed out how difficult it must be for a single parent to date successfully.  So true.  I'm living proof.  God!  Why am I such a jerk?  Why do you even read this shit?
