For love: I was in a vulnerable position in my life. A combination of emotions and events over two years caused me to ignore red flags and to lose my reason entirely, I gave up my whole life, and moved across the country to be with her. She turned out to be a sociopath and 8 years later, I am still picking up the pieces from the shit that I went through. I feel like the reckless abandon with which I decided to move was monumentally stupid.
For lust: I could entertain you for an entire evening with stories of all the times I did mind-blowingly stupid things in the name of getting laid. My life is nothing but a black comedy. ;)
The most memorable (and expensive) mistake I made was getting involved with this crazy girl who was in love with my ex. I knew she was crazy and I knew she was just using me to make my ex jealous, but because I knew this, I thought I was one up on her and that I had the situation locked down. I was really bored in my life and in need of some distraction, so I decided to play with fire, especially since crazy girls seem to be wicked good in bed. Well, sadly, she was horrible in bed, like in my bottom two experiences ever, so it wasn’t even worth it.
She was wonderful sober, but was also totally an alcoholic who turned into Mr. Hyde when she got drunk. I was out at the bar with my best friend and she was there, wasted, celebrating her cousin’s birthday. I barely remember the details, but I think she got snarky with me and my best friend stood up for me and then they totally got into it. The crazy girl left not long after that. We left a couple of hours later and when I got in my car, I discovered she had stolen my ignition. Yeah, you heard me right.
HUGE F-ING, EXPENSIVE HASSLE, let me tell you. I got dicked around by the mechanic, too, until my friend’s husband called pretending to be my husband, then they straightened up.
Anyway… yeah.
