The lone mockingbird that has settled in the tree across the street.

...It starts its calls at 12:00AM and doesn't stop until 8AM.

you should go stare at it with the same intensity with which you avatar emits. That would do the trick I would hope, unless that bird is in fact no bird at all and just one tough cookie.

Atticus Finch: I remember when my daddy gave me that gun. He told me that I should never point it at anything in the house; and that he'd rather I'd shoot at tin cans in the backyard. But he said that sooner or later he supposed the temptation to go after birds would be too much, and that I could shoot all the blue jays I wanted - if I could hit 'em; but to remember it was a sin to kill a mockingbird.

Jem: Why?

Atticus Finch: Well, I reckon because mockingbirds don't do anything but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat people's gardens, don't nest in the corncrib, they don't do one thing but just sing their hearts out for us.

Referring to a past relationship as my ex.  Phonetically, it just sounds ugly, and the self-deluding sense of closure is seriously frustrating.  Just stop it, already.

Have you seen the movie My Super Ex-Girlfriend?

For another movie tie-in, it sounds like you need to find your Quantum of Solace.


But seriously, don't beat yourself up too much. Hang in there tiger.

Oops, hit modify when I meant to hit reply.

Anyway, haha, thanks.  I wasn't talking about me, but I appreciate it nonetheless!
