I could use my knees to figure out where it was sent from. Brent is the only one I know who would harass me at this time. I'm used to it. I almost just dreamed about the text message before I received it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said, "sorry I missed your event on Sunday. I would have liked to have been there."&lt;br /&gt;Finally he said sorry. But it wasn't enough to cover the truth of him being a real jerk! Without replying the message, I carried on sleeping. But my mind was far too busy to fall in sleep again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't expect him to be there at my Sunday screening. We had the cold war over a month now. He always had been selfish that he never committed to be there for me when I needed him. But I still picked up my best little green dress just for in case. Of course he didn't show up. During the 4 hours of waiting, there was nothing except a freezing rain. Of course i was gutted. Once again I made up my mind to dump him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately I have a weak mind. Today I missed him again. I hate myself for that!&lt;br /&gt;My body is loaded with desire. I couldn't hold back those erotic scenes in my mind of me being with him in bed. It felt so great. But it's wrong!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maggie said to me many times, "Don't ever think about casual sex with someone you want to have relationship with! You gotta hurt yourself." Perfectly true. So, I left the text message alone and threw the idea of sex with Brent into the bin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cold war goes on. I have no idea if we gonna meet again. Love and sex just seem so hard to balance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3262006915322666288-3934755842389036048?l=naomishao.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naomishao.blogspot.com/feeds/3934755842389036048/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3262006915322666288&amp;postID=3934755842389036048' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3262006915322666288/posts/default/3934755842389036048'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3262006915322666288/posts/default/3934755842389036048'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naomishao.blogspot.com/2007/03/text-message-and-cold-war.html' title='Text Message and the Cold War'/><author><name>Naomi Shao</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10198261253301743891</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='17766735016336398213'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
