Wasted Emotions [Writing #6]

Words: 506

Andrew looked at Samantha. He was pacing back and forth in the kitchen of their apartment. “I really can’t believe you, right now. I really can’t.” He shook his head and brushed his hair back. Andrew and Samantha’s marriage had been rocky since he found her in bed with another man.
“I...do you understand that you cheated on me. You threw ten years out the window!”
“Yes. I understand that. And I’m sorry, Andy, but I still think you were wrong for snapping at me like you did at the restaurant.” She remained calm, but Andy was losing his mind.
“After everything you did, are you really asking me to apologize for snapping at you once? You’ve been sleeping with the same guy for almost a year! You- you-” He shook his head. “I think I have a right for reacting the way I did. I...I wanted to make things work, Sam! I did! But you...you wanted to have brunch with the guy you’re fucking? You disgust me! We have been married for ten years! Ten fucking years, Sam!”
“I know, Andy.” The fact that she was so calm only upset him more.
“And I have stayed so faithful. I could never imagine cheating on you. Even now, when you would deserve it the most. I can’t imagine doing that to you, because believe it or not, I love you.”
“Andy-”
“Oh no! Don’t you dare ‘Andy’ me! What the fuck did I ever do to you? What did I do to deserve this? Please inform me.”
“Nothing!” She took a deep breath and looked at him. “You didn’t do anything. Don’t give yourself credit for that. Sleeping with Brett was my decision. And you know why I did? Because he’s hot. No that you’re not hot. You’re always been hot, but...we just don’t have the magic we used to have anymore.”
“What the hell does that even mean?” He asked.
“I am not in love with you anymore! I’m not. I’m being honest.” She seemed so apathetic, and it pissed him off. “I don’t love you anymore This marriage...it was a mistake on my part. I knew we were jumping in too quickly. We were both so young and look how well it turned out.”
“You fucking bitch!” He pulled off his wedding ring and threw it at her.
“Fine.” She shrugged.
“Fuck you.” He didn’t want to be there anymore.
“I’m sorry that it happened this way, but-”
“Fuck you! Fuck this!” He grabbed his coat.
“Where the hell are you going, Andrew?” She asked.
“I am going to talk to my lawyer. I can’t do this anymore, Samantha. We are finished. Over. Ten years down the drain!” He put his coat on.
“Seriously?”
“And don’t worry. It won’t be a messy divorce. You can keep your shit and the fucking apartment. I just want you out of my life. I don’t care what it takes. I just..” He left the apartment without finishing his sentence. They were finished.

Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are Basically the Same Person

I, a 21-year-old adult, is still a HUGE fan of the High School Musical franchise. In high school, had I been a better planner, I would have asked Lucas Grabeel to be my prom date. And even though I was older than most viewers, I did love Teen Beach Movie when it came out. In this post, I am going to explain how Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are basically the same person. Let's start at the beginning. You may know Zac Efron as Troy Bolton in the Disney Channel Original Movie (or DCOM), High School Musical and it's franchise. He is the attractive blue-eyed, protagonist of all three HSM movies. And I will admit that I was a huge fangirl for him in my youth. Honestly, now I can't stand him. But that's for another post. Zac portrayed Troy in all three HSM films, but he only sang in the last two. That's right. Zac Efron did not sing in the first HSM movie. That was the amazingly talented Drew Seeley whom I will love till the day I die. Similarly, Garrett Clayton pl...

Is Marvin from Falsettos Abusive? And Why is He Such an Easy Character to Hate?

Is Marvin abusive? Short answer: yes. Long answer: You've come to the right place. "I love my tight-knit family. I love the way they cook linguine." Let's get this out of the way, this blog, as all of my blog posts are, is 100% my opinion. Unless stated directly that it is fact, this is all what's going on in my mind. Thoughts from a fangirl, if you will. Also I have to use Spotify to link the songs, because the entire 2016 revival cast album is not on YouTube and I know the revival album better than the original albums. Also this post is going to be long because I'm actually going through actual lines from the musical. I am going to try to sprinkle some photos into this post. "Lovers come and lovers go." Listen to "Marvin Hits Trina" on Spotify. Let's start with the most obvious: Marvin hits Trina after learning that she's going to marry Mendel. Where can you find this scene? In "Marvin Hits Trina". It'...

That Time A President Conducted Meetings from the Toilet

Happy Monday! Another week ahead. This week's weird moment from history is how President Lyndon B. Johnson conducted meetings and interviews while on the toilet. I learned way too much about LBJ while doing research for this post and it is going to be a LONG time before I write another weird history post about him. But there will be at least another one in the future. Man was weird. Quick history lesson for my non-Americans who may not know who LBJ is. Lyndon Baines Johnson was the 36th President of the United States. He assumed the position following the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He was president from 1963 til 1969. NOW if you're like me and you grew up with the rewatching the movie Forrest Gump over and over again your first introduction to LBJ might be when Forrest was being honored with the Medal of Honor and showed the president where he was "shot in the buttocks" during the Vietnam War.  I haven't watched Forrest Gump in years, but if you haven't...
