&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;OK.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;And&amp;#8230;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Do you have something you want to say to me?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don’t think so. What do you want to talk about?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;How about&amp;#8230;how much you love me.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That doesn’t really warrant a lot of discussion, but OK. I love you more than I’ve ever loved anyone. I can’t imagine loving anything or anyone more than you. That’s how much I love you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Aww. I love you too.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I didn’t say “I love you”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;No, but it’s obvious you do.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;True, but I didn’t say “I love you,” therefore your response of “I love you TOO” is in error.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Well, tell me you love me then so I can respond properly.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;What do you mean, no? You’re kidding.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No, I’m not kidding. You haven’t deposited enough in the account.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;What? We don’t have joint checking. YOU said you didn’t want it. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No, no, no. The account of this relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Oh boy.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You’ve been lax about making deposits and so there are no “I love you”s available for withdrawal at this time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;You’re ridiculous, you know that?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;That’s not helping.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Oh stop it. You just said how much you love me.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;So I did.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;So&amp;#8230;so I know you love me, so just say it.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;How do I know you love me?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Because I said it. I walked in, got my coffee, sat down and the first words out of my mouth were “I love you.” THAT’S how you know, dummy.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Right. Because words say it all, right? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;OK. Have I done something wrong?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;When was the last time you did something just for me?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Wow. So&amp;#8230;let me get this straight. You’re looking at our relationship based on the amount of selfless transactions between us? Are you fucking kidding me?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Well? When was the last time you did something just for me?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;OK. I’m going to play along here. Let me think&amp;#8230;OK. Last night. I didn’t want to go to that wine bar you love to go to, but I took you because YOU wanted to. No argument.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Hrm. I forgot about that. Well. What else?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jesus Chri-I brought you lunch. Thursday AND Wednesday I brought your ass lunch because you couldn’t leave the office. I took a long lunch and brought you tacos from my side of town. BOOM. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Shit. You’re right. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ha HA! So let me hear it. Give it to me. I’m all ears. Hrm? Hrm?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yes? Go ahead. I’m listening.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I’m breaking up with you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(gape mouthed silence)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;(awkward silence)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;What the fuck?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I’m sorry. I got a better offer and it’s going to take care of me and my interests better. I’ll have room to grow and really get out there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Are you fucking kidding me?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I’m not. I would never kid about something as serious as love.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;But you said you loved me.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I said how MUCH I love you. And that’s true, but&amp;#8230;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;But what?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;But this other offer comes with benefits.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Wow.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Yeah.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;OK.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I’m glad you’re taking this so well. There’s another relationship out there for you. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thanks for saying that. I appreciate it. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;We are offering a severance package.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Oh good, that’s great. Thank you.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Of course. We’ll go ahead and not mention the break up for two weeks and let you break it to your friends on your own time. Also, you’ll get a free pass on all drunken texts for the next fiscal quarter and one relapse of our physical relationship in the next month. Of course we’re willing to provide references for future relationships&amp;#8230;if you need them. All of this will be null and void if you tell lies about us of course, but it should tide you over until you get on your feet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Perfect. Thanks. Well&amp;#8230;I’m sorry this didn’t work out, but I appreciate you being somewhat honest with me.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Of course. Good luck out there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thanks. (pause) I love you.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I know you do.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.ridingiswriting.com/post/23811389059</link><guid>http://www.ridingiswriting.com/post/23811389059</guid><pubDate>Sat, 26 May 2012 12:04:44 -0700</pubDate><category>creativity</category><category>writing</category><category>love</category></item><item><title>Imani and Me (Taken with Instagram at Windsong Productions)</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4m3fu5WZo1qcuyozo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Imani and Me (Taken with &lt;a href="http://instagr.am" target="_blank"&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; at Windsong Productions)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.ridingiswriting.com/post/23777580865</link><guid>http://www.ridingiswriting.com/post/23777580865</guid><pubDate>Fri, 25 May 2012 21:07:06 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Me and My Wiener in a Movie (Taken with Instagram at Windsong...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4m1e5mJIm1qcuyozo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Me and My Wiener in a Movie (Taken with &lt;a href="http://instagr.am" target="_blank"&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; at Windsong Productions)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.ridingiswriting.com/post/23775004686</link><guid>http://www.ridingiswriting.com/post/23775004686</guid><pubDate>Fri, 25 May 2012 20:22:53 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Crazy Man On Set (Taken with Instagram at Windsong Productions)</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4lydkykj11qcuyozo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Crazy Man On Set (Taken with &lt;a href="http://instagr.am" target="_blank"&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; at Windsong Productions)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.ridingiswriting.com/post/23770934378</link><guid>http://www.ridingiswriting.com/post/23770934378</guid><pubDate>Fri, 25 May 2012 19:17:44 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Yummo!
