Ok, I have to admit something - I have secretly been mad at Hal since February. About two weeks after Hal and I started dating, he went down to Jacksonville for a weekend. Mike went with him. While in Jacksonville, Mike accompanied Hal to the beach. Caitlin Weather was also there. When I found out about this, I was pissed, to say the very least. I used this situation as an excuse to hold a grudge against Hal, and as a petty reason to hate someone I haven't exactly ever met. 

I discussed this anger with Hal's knife-weilding best friend and deranged roomy, both of whom agreed that the anger was indeed justified. I never talked to Hal about it directly... I didn't want to start unneccesary drama.

While driving home from Walmart tonight, my mind somehow wandered to Hal's promise to come up here and Sasha's desire to meet Hal. I formed a theoretical situation in my mind that involved the three of us flying over the Sunsphere. (Author's note: I'm not entirely sure if this is possible, but if it is, that would certainly be cool.) That imagines scenario led me to question why I always picture myself hanging out with Hal with someone else. I decided that it must be because I am going out with someone else, and it would be weird for me to hang out with an ex in a one-on-one situation. This is part of the reason why I dragged Mel to the beach with me instead of just going to hang out with Hal by myself - I was going out with Ray at the time, and out of respect for him, I wasn't going to hang out one-on-one with an ex.  

I can't be mad at Hal for this anymore. It's just stupid. True, he could have gone about telling me in a better way, instead of letting me find out that he was at the beach with his ex through his roomy's photo documentation of the weekend. But he didn't do anything wrong. I owe an apology to him, and also to Caitlin Weather. (Author's note: There is a reason this entry is not friend locked.) Maybe I was stupid for not talking to Hal about this, maybe not. But it would definitely be stupid to still be mad.
