On rejection

Why rejection is awesome:

• Valuable external assessment of self-worth
• Prevents elephantiasis of the ego
• More free time to pursue hobbies, eat ice cream
  
• According to Buddhism desire leads to sorrow. Freedom to desire is the path to enlightenment. Apparently.
• Keeps things "real"
• Provides fodder for acerbic lists
• I was going to dump her anyway. No really, this is totally for the best.
• God, I'm such a shithead.
• Think it's too soon to call?
• Don't call, you'll look like an idiot.
• But what if she's waiting for me to call? Then I'm going to blow any chance of us getting back together.
• Not that I necessarily want to, I'm just saying. This isn't my fault.
  
• Why do I always do this? God, Harvey, can't you keep your mouth shut for just one Thanksgiving dinner?

I'll finish this off later.
