Was it appropriate to reply this way??

[In Limbo]

I had to take her call.I just finished performing the last song, where i put in every bit of myself at vocals & esp the cathartic guitar climax..& off the blue at 00:30 hours, my ex rings me & i hesitatingly picked it up.I know its bad but somehow, i don't hold grudges and refuse calls, thats just not my nature.

 

She wished me a gr8 year and blah..

I was speaking slowly, was almost shivering & my voice was quivering as well.Random conversation went on for a while..Then she said what do i expect this time,to which i replied "its gonna be gr8, cuz its '09 and 09 is my number.I was born on Aug 9, & this no has always been special for me.

 

She then said "I dunno , what my special number is"

I said" It will be the day your birthday arrives in the month.When is it March or April .."

She cut me...& spoke " Why would you remember my birthday??"

I said "Yeah..I don't need to anyways..c ya bbye...and end"

I think i did the right thing..What d'u think??

You did. No harm in answering as long as you play it cool.

I don't see why it wouldn't be ok to just say you were together and you remember. It's not like your physco for it. IMO maybe a little over the top.

I was just not in the mood , to speak of anything that reminded me of that horrible past.

Honestly , i think i should not have picked her call..but then , i never cancel calls..thats psych perhaps.

 

That question reminded me of the constant nagging that pulled me down, when i was with her.It was a surge of anger & i donno how, but till that point, i had , had enough.

 

After the call,I was frozen for atleast 20 minutes in that spot..& felt distracted thereafter.

 

I danced a bit then , drunk some wine , chatted people up and returned home by 3:30 a.m.Couldn't sleep much ...

You remembered the b'day of someone you used to date. Not a big deal.

 

As for answering her call, there's no right or wrong anyway. As long as you feel OK, then cool!

 

Thanks ..may be you are right...

[julioiglesia]

you should have said.

"oh snap.. everyday is my birthday because i get to live life without you. you know what? your fav number is 08 because you are so so so so 2008 " lolz

[julioiglesia]

better yet...

 

you should call her by another name like Stella! and hang up.. wrong number

 

or my fav is "chinese take out? i am sorry i don't deliver my wonton soup to a rotten person like you"

 

or just hand our phone to a girl and pay that girl to make up some stuff to make your ex jealous.

 

or order like 100 pizza to her address

Someday,i'll try that stella trick..Her name starts with an 'S' too...so Stella would fit..

I agree w/ mouse_potato, you remember it bc you used to date that person... ppl remember things like that from ppl they used to care for, and just because you aren't together, doesn't mean you automatically forget it all! Anyway, you did the right thing. In the future though, I would avoid picking up calls from her, and don't feel badly about not answering the call. Look how it made you feel for the rest of your night after talking to her...you should have been happy for the rest of the night after playing what I assume was a stellar performance! Not answering the call prevents you from feeling all those bad feelings again.
