Exes are like cockroaches.

No, exes are like herpes.

It's true - you can't avoid exes, especially in small towns like Fairbanks. And it seems everyone comes out to play the night before Thanksgiving. Which is to say that my ex-boyfriend was all over the bar last night. We don't speak to each other, so it was awkward.

I ended up flirting with the guy I meant to have sex with last weekend. I ended up making out with his friend instead, which I don't think entirely rules out the possibility of having sex with guy #1 in the future. And I also got the phone number of a certain Norwegian I've been lusting after.
