I can't wait for another Colosseum...I don't know who else would understand except some of you on this board.

There's this guy. We had a Neptoonian relationship. In light of recent information, I've decided to amputate him. It is JUSTIFIED.

I found out today that he has met and decided to start dating a woman who happens to be the supervisor of my volunteer group - yes, the same one that I am supposed to start training with in June.

I need a shotgun and a shovel, NOW. This town isn't big enough for the two of us.

Sorry, I had to erase what I wrote.

Neptune, you know.

(((Jennifer)))  OUCH!

I've got a shovel...  ;)

don't forget the lime!  ::shoulders-the-sack::

This was the ONLY place in town to do the kind of work I wanted to do...I did my research.

:::smh:::

Ka-chunk.

Rule 4: Double tap.

That's my shotgun by the way. Kachunk.

Was that the sound of shit hitting the fan, right before it sprays?

Can you please explain Rule 4 (and 1, 2, and 3), if you don't mind? I didn't get the memo.

The Zombieland Rules (from wikipedia)

The rules: A running gag, and a central theme throughout the film, is the list of rules Columbus comes up with for surviving in the zombie-infested world. By the end of the film, his list has thirty-three rules; but only a few are mentioned. A series of promotional videos starring Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg expanded on the list presented in the film.

1 Cardio

2 Double tap

3 Beware of bathrooms

4 Wear seatbelts

6 Cast iron skillet

7 Travel light

8 Get a kickass partner

12 Bounty (brand) paper towels

15 Bowling Ball

17 Don't be a hero." Columbus changes the rule to "Be a hero" at the amusement park, facing his greatest fear, a clown-zombie, to save Wichita and Little Rock.

18 Limber up

21 Avoid strip clubs

22 When in doubt, know your way out

29 The buddy system

31 Check the back seat

32 Enjoy the little things

33 Swiss army knife

34 Clean socks

48 Hygiene

49 Always have backup

Thanks for the clarification Korellyn.

Double tap indeed, Shannon.

Lest anyone think otherwise, this wasn't some random meet and greet between him and her.  He scoped her out because of me; he knew about the volunteer position.  For all he knows, he thinks I'm in training this month!  I don't know her - yet.  But I'm supposed to get to know her professionally in June.

If I could only explain how I saw him and her connecting before it even happened...I'm in the wrong line of work...call me now for your free reading...my brain is just spinning right now, trying to comprehend.

My other clip has it as rule 4, I think somewhere in filming it changed.

This is gory, but comically so:  http://youtu.be/LDJedaxA2eU

OK seriously?  That's jacked up.  Really, truly, jacked up.   Sorry hon.  I don't even know what to tell you there.

Thanks Shannon, I'll check out the vid when I get home. 

I don't even know what to say/do at this point.  There are NO other groups down here that do this kind of work - this was my only choice.  I've waited years to work for this group...I couldn't when I initially moved out here because I didn't have a car and you need a car to do this. 

I postponed the training until June because of all the other changes I've been making in my life.  Lord knows how I'd feel if I found this out while working closely with this woman.

Zombie is an appropriate analogy.  I'm picturing him grabbing me by the heels as I attempt to flee.  He knows how to mind-fuck and cock-block like a champ, knock down, drag out dutty. 

The only astrology I can think of is Uranus transit conjunct my 5th house Moon and 6th house of service (Aries in both houses), opposing natal Pluto in Libra.

There's a meet-up tonight that I know she and he are going to.  He doesn't know that I know who she is...I put two and two together on my own.  I'm sure he's chortling, thinking he's pulled one over me. 

I'm wondering if I should send him a text:  "Have fun tonight.  Tell X I look forward to working with her in June."

OTOH I'm wondering if I should just amputate this volunteer project as well.  Baby, bathwater, bathtub.

What to do?

I'd hold on to it and keep it a secret. "If" she has him there in June to be trained.... be polite and learn your duties better than him. Above all else.... make it clear to her that you are there to learn , not to make a fight with an ex.

'Course this goes against everything my Scorp energies are screaming.... but you really don't want to be shoveling dirt at Midnight.

First of all, you have the advantage in that you have clocked his little game, and he doesn't know that yet. DON'T LET HIM KNOW

You have until June to prepare your mind for dealing with this. Who knows - by June there may be nothing to deal with. Will he have the patience? If he's only with her to fuck with you, will he hang around? I don't think so. If she is sharp and sassy, she may cotton on to him, esp if there's a lack of feeling, and not be with him anyway by June.

Try not to let it get to you - treat it as a game you are going to win. You may have to fight dirty - so what?   He has asked for trouble: you're prepared *not* to give it to him - except on your own terms.

For the rest, this is a Neptoonian 'blanking' situation: for you he ceases to exist...... unless he tries to tread on your toes. If he does - cut his legs off at the knees 

Don't ffs cut your own legs off by quitting! That way he wins without a fight, and you spend your life thinking 'What if?" - and probably never forgiving yourself

@BP & Glenn - Thank you so much for your insight.  You guys are right...I'm gonna hold my tongue, continue with amputation on schedule.  June will take care of itself.  My best wishes to the happy couple, there is NO reason for me to discuss my personal life with this lady. 

You ain't never gonna see a better volunteer than me...

Agree with Glenn and BP. You have Scorp. Don't show your cards! Play the game, play it better, beat him, don't fuck her up unless she gives you a reason to.

Living well is the best revenge and all that pablum.

I strongly agree with BP.

#1- you amputated him therefore he no longer exsists.

#2- he's only doing this because you amputated him, it's a lame move on his part

#3- give up NOTHING. This is the job/trainning that you have been waiting for and you will have it.

#4-if he tries to contact you get a restraining order,but I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of getting any type of  one on one response,thats what he is after,so don't engage with him on any level.

#5- he's trying to create drama using passive aggressive techniques..let him play by himself, and he can date who he wants, she will figure out his insincerity soon enough.

@Shannon & Emmanuelle - Thanks ladies. 

Did I mention he's a Taurus? 

a Taurus gone rogue? Oh God not a good look at all...just sounds like his ego is bruised because he got amputated..he wants to be in control and determine when things will be over and you took that away from him...oh well..he he has to live with that.

You win because he can't! - he's never going to get the one thing he wants - you!

And in the unlikely event he is still with this woman in June, you'l be long past caring anyway 

Oh, what an ******...I'd say just ignore what he's doing and keep preparing for training. If he's as crazy as he sounds, that supervisor will discover it soon enough!

No worries, Jennifer...don't let the douchebag ruin what you've been waiting for! I'm excited for you anyway.

You've gotten good advice.  He's history. Future interactions get a footnote reference, if that.

Thanks guys.  Yeah, he's been amputated, but it's taking time for the message to travel from his brain to his balls.

He called me yesterday and I didn't pick up.  Then he sent 2 texts:

Text 1:  "Hope you're ok..." 

*snorts* Why wouldn't I be?

Text 2:  "Guess you're busy..."

Damn straight.  NEXT!!!  I'm onto my next project:  cultivating - and maintaining - my creativity.  He ain't got nothing on this challenge.

Another text just a little while ago:

"U around?"

For you? HA! NO. DELETE.

This could take awhile. Like a lifetime. Thanks Neptoon.

Hmmm..... I'd still have my shovel handy.... and a nice place out back behind the hill picked out. Maybe a few Daisies in pots.... watered daily.

I'll help you bury him then you can help me bury mine :) He has started dating a woman in the small town I moved to after we divorced.. his way of going to my 2 favorite bars...

@Glenn & learningtoground - I like the way you 2 think!

This dude already stole my favourite fucking cafe and a restaurant, I can't go there no mo. Fortunately I found a new, albeit slightly less cool, cafe. No replacement on the restaurant as the cuisine is really special. :(

God, there's just so much more I could post here about him. Maybe I should, just to unload the extent of the Neptoon. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

@Jennifer. I'm so sorry :( it's a nasty feeling :(

Yesturday I realized that the best way to get him out of my places is to walk in like I own the place and displace him! It will be hard to handle emotionally for me but I will do it if the opportunity arises!

I wish you strength, peace and joy bundled with a warriors courage!

Thanks learningtoground, you too!  :) 

Yeah, if I get a hankering for the food badly enough, I can just go in and get it to go or something.  It just irks me that I took him to these places and now he's there all the time.  He gets a kick out of doing weird Neptoonian things to me, like he gloms on to everything I like.  Music, food, cafes.  It's like he has very rigid views about certain things, but then there are large swathes where he doesn't have an opinion of his own, can't think for himself.  I really think it has to do with his Sun and Venus in the 12th house.  

I read recently that Salman Rushdie's latest paramour nixed his marriage proposal (she would have been his 5th wife), saying he's "a [literary] genius with the emotions of a horny child." 

Damn.  She and I should drink tea together sometime.

ETA:  I have Sun in 1st house, he has it in 12th.  Composite puts it in 6th - one person can wind up serving the other.  Ideally we'd take turns, but we're not that evolved.

I would have been at the place you'd know he's be at acting all casual to see if he squirmed.  Then I would have acted indifferent and then refused his calls.  "It's me... really... I just don't think this will work out...

Can't blame the gal at this point as she had no idea.  It's not about her. 

Amputate and thank the universe for sending you a NO sign.
