I use to call the men
from my past that periodically pop up without notice “ghosts of relationships
past”, but after some thinking and some drinking I decided the proper term for
these men are “relationship zombies”. Let me explain.
First of all I really
like the mental image of instead of batting these men away like human
whack-a-moles I get to blow their zombie heads off with a .44. (Like I said I
was drinking when I came up with this theory.)
Second, it would
explain why these men pop up in the first place. I go out of my way to burn
bridges and hurt feelings when I break up with someone, it’s kind of my insurance
policy against them popping up in the future. But it never seems to work.
Why you ask? Because they’re zombies and everyone knows zombies don’t have
feelings.
Everyone always warns
you to be careful who you date and I always thought that was because you might
find yourself dating a rapist or a murderer but no, I was wrong. They tell you
to be careful because those failed relationship turn into flesh eating (or at
least flesh sucking) zombies that can pop up at any time without notice.
Where the hell was
that PSA growing up? “Kids make good choices or zombies are going to stalk you for
the rest of your life.” Would have been useful to know!
Or at least would
have given me a chance to stalk up on zombie survival gear. TV fails me again.
Anyways how would you
characterize your past relationships? And what do you think I was drinking when
I came up with this one? Let me know in the comment box below and as always
stay away from zombies.
Love,
The Honest Bitch
