Help. On Monday will be the three-year anniversary of two things. 1) Anakin and Padme splitting up and putting an end to that painful lack of chemistry on screen and 2) me having officially gotten the annulment from my psycho ex. That day's never fun to see come around again, so this year, since I have no obligations that day, I want to have some fun. So, if anyone would like to help brainstorm, here's the place.

A couple of caveats:

1) I don't drink or anything, so suggesting a bacchanal/orgy or something doesn't quite work.
2) There are a bunch of local laws and apartment rules that would keep me from burning an effigy.
3) Please don't use the thread to make fun of me. Really, I'm pathetic as it is on May 19 of every year. And other days, but that's beside the point.

You're a menace to society, because you're over 25 and unmarried.

Here's my suggestion... stop acknowledging this date, and work on creating some more positive days to celebrate.

In other words, move on...

Don't be a silly person. She obviously doesn't want to do that. So work with what she's willing to do. Baby steps.



My suggestion, call some girlfriends, get an angry girl movie (like the First Wives' Club or something), order some pizza, have lots of chocolate on hand, and just hang out.

Oh, buying an Avril Lavigne album might help, too.

Hey, Obi-Zahn, that only applies to men! happy

And um, it's kind of hard to ignore a date where I got out of there, saw Star Wars, my sister got married and I once got fired, all on that day. It's my bad karma day.

Make yourself forget it. Its been three years. Just... make the day unimportant. Don't do anything special to help remember it (unless you're celebrating with your sister, but I doubt that would happen.. she should be with her hubby. tongue )

Seriously, the best thing to do is forget the thing ever happened. (Or at least pretend it didn't tongue )

EDIT: But seriously, don't commemorate it. happy

Hmmm ... would the local laws prevent you from shooting an effigy with paintball guns, or is it just a burning ban?

Only because you call it that... it was three years ago...

Okay, here's my second suggestion... spend the day planning the next three years.
