The ritual

Why is it that when we break up with someone, we always feel better by performing a sacrificial burning of our ex's things?. Last night my flat mate dan, and my friend dot (so cute) and i, went up to the lookout to burn a house warming gift her ex boyfriend had given her. It took a while for the flames to take hold, but once it was going we basked in the glow of the flames feeling righteous and justified. There is nothing like a good sacrifice to make you feel better about your last shitty relaionship. (since living in the house of gay, there has been 3 sacrificial burnings, one for each member. There are still scorch marks in the back yard from over a month ago). After we put out the remnents of the fire, we decided to head to the service station to vist louie,( the most awesome service attendent ever!!!). She was pretty happy to see us and we hung out till about midnight. When we finnaly decided to leave we got a lift with vic who was there before us, also visiting. When we got home we decided to cellebrate with a post ritual drink, and got completely plastered. I had to tuck dan into bed because he was sooooo drunk. Its experiences like these that bring friends together, and gives us something to laugh about later on when we are old and decrepid.
