Based off true events.
[Most of this actually did happen, but some parts are stretched for dramatic effect ;] ]
For the purposes of this story, I will be naming myself "Randy." Though that is not my real name.
'Twas the fall of 2010. I had been struggling for a while (about 11 months, to be specific) to get over my ex-girlfriend...I had tried everything, but she would not return to me, and, thanks to marching band, I was frequently around her.
I had gotten to the point where I literally was left with nothing in my heart, and around then was when I decided to stop wasting my life, and get over her by returning to my life as a gamer. The real world wasn't fit for me - a world full of video games and yelling and things of that nature was.
Within two weeks, I was completely distracted - I almost forgot what a girl was. I would go to school, come home, do my homework, and immediately grind 10-20 ladder games in the 4 hours that I had to play. (My games lasted a while)
Then came the day of the annual Trumpet end-of-Marching-Band-season party, where I was kind of obligated to attend. But before that I had gone to a Halo: Reach tournament, where I was kind of destroyed. ><
My ex-girlfriend happened to be there...great...so I avoided her as best I could and just hung outside with some of the other people there. I was getting really sad, when I noticed two girls just sitting on the balcony just talking, so I decided to join them.
They weren't quite welcome at first, but instead decided to make fun of me about everything they could possibly come up with, but after some story telling and some really awful jokes, they began to open up to me. We began sharing stories, me about my endeavors and idiocy throughout High School, and them about how crazy their parents were.
Eventually, they got all of their friends to join around the firepit, where we roasted marshmallows and all shared our life stories...and we bonded.
I told them about Starcraft, and they were somehow fascinated by it - especially Jamie. She thought it was cool how I had a different passion than most people, and was really intrigued about the proscene and things. I told her that I wanted to learn Korean, so that I could someday go to Korea to be in the heart of eSports, and she agreed to help me learn (since Jamie was Korean and I wasn't)
So then Jamie and I began hanging out - but I wanted to ladder, so she would come over and do her homework while I laddered. She enjoyed dominating the music that played in the room, and that was when I started listening to Kpop.
So football somehow made CIF champs that year (not division I, of course ^_^), so then we agreed to sit next to each other on the bus. It was a 3 hour bus ride there...and a 3 hour bus ride back. We basically talked about everything, and I helped her out with a bit of her homework while we were at it. We were separated during the game since she played Flute and I played Trumpet.
On the way home, however, the bus ride was a lot more pleasant. It was around 11 when the bus left, and since Jamie was a big sleepyhead, she wanted to sleep the second 2/3rds of the bus ride. So I watched Brood War VODS on my phone while she slept...and then about halfway into the 2set of the Jaedong vs Flash that I was watching, I noticed that her head was drooping on my shoulder, and I could feel her breathing. I smiled.
I eventually fell asleep, and, being the heavy sleeper that I am, I did not wake up - not even when they turned the lights on and yelled at us to get off. Jamie had window seat, so she needed me awake to get out, so she devised a clever solution. She gets the water that I was drinking and keeps dripping it on my face until I woke up...and it took a bit, so I woke up drenched, and she was laughing her ass off -_-
When we got back to school, it was around 2 am, and I hugged her goodbye, as she was about to walk home (she didn't live far.) When I asked why she had to walk home, she said her parents and her brother were out of town, so I offered to walk her home. She accepted.
So we walk home together, making silly jokes at each other, and laughing about the dumbest things (because that tends to happen around 2 in the morning for us High Schoolers), and then I get to her house, and she asks if I want to spend the night there. I agree to that.
So I fell asleep on her chair (it was pretty comfy, to be honest), and I woke up before she did. So what did I do? WATCH MORE BW VODS ON HER COMPUTER >
I had to use a new toothbrush, and borrow some of her brother's clothes (I had to wear her gym shorts because even with a belt, her brother's jeans wouldn't stay on  ), and use her shower, and then we decided to hang out that day too. We went to the mall and we saw Tangled together. What a cute movie :3
So then I went home, and I slept, thinking about how happy I was.
The trips to each other's houses became a more regular thing, and we were seeing more and more of each other. She started watching the BW vods with me, and she even asked me to teach her how to play Starcraft 2...
This was one of the funniest things ever. I bought her an account (using money I made from playing poker), and she'd play 3-5 games a day with me coaching. We both played Terran >
She was soooooooo bad that it was hilarious, and the yelling and energy and the excitement was hilarious, and I'd be laughing the entire time at her failness...
Don't worry, she made fun of me of my terrible pronunciation of Korean.
I think my favorite night with her was one where I was over at her house (her brother was sleeping over somewhere and her parents were out of town...again) watching the Notebook, and we fell asleep together. I don't remember being under the blankets when I fell asleep, but I woke up under the blankets, with her arms around me.
I don't normally use the term "love" unless it's something like extremely serious, but after a few months of being with her, I was starting to fall in love with her. Jamie was incredible: she was smart, fun, and she was really into what I liked to do. I responded by being the exact same to her ^_^
Then came Valentine's Day...
So I approached her on Valentine's Day, with a single rose and a lot of hope, and I asked, "Jamie, will you be my Valentine?"
Only to have her turn around with a giant teddy bear, even more roses, and a box of chocolates in her arms...and she's like, "Uhhhh okay..."
So then Jamie and I slowly started to talk less and less, as she wanted to see this new guy more and more. She was starting to get too busy for me, I wasn't as interesting anymore, and, after a while, we basically stopped hanging out altogether.
Eventually we stopped talking completely.
Then came my birthday, and she didn't even wish me Happy Birthday (I know she knew about it, since I remember seeing it on her Calendar the many times I was at her house), and stuff, so I was kind of upset about that.
Then, one day, I got in a fight with her new boyfriend, since he had some beef with one of my closest buddies. The guy was trained in the art of kickboxing. I was trained in the art of fighting (a.k.a. playing dirty). The guy was mad...so I had to defend myself...so I fishhooked, I kicked his nuts, I did whatever I could to subdue him, since I didn't even want to fight him to begin with.
Jamie was pissed...she looked me in the eye and said "I HATE YOU."
And that was the last time I ever spoke to Jamie...
EDIT:
By chance, I ran into her today. We talked...about things...it turns out her boyfriend was a total jerk and she didn't like him anymore and all that stuff (they broke up 3 weeks ago). Problem is, I've moved on...this was a year ago, and now I'm in hot pursuit of someone else...and she wants me back in her life. Pfffffffffff. Awk.

Interesting story.... I feel like I connected rather well with it since I was also in my high school's marching band and also played trumpet so I could imagine exactly the scenarios that you were describing. Brings back good memories of competitions in faraway places, with friends that I still talk to regularly even today. In fact, now that I think about it, the only people I talk with from my high school nowadays are the people I met in marching band. It's funny considering how much of a time sink marching band was for me, when I was in it I hated it dearly, but when it was over I had a hole in my heart. So cherish your time there, you'll miss it when it's over!
As to the content of your blog, don't worry, high school is only the beginning of love dramas. You'll have more girlfriends, and more breakups. Take it as a learning experience and use the knowledge to your advantage when the next relationship comes around.
Also, I found your signature quite funny, its placing was optimal.

Dear all future girl blogs,
Write it in this format.
Thanks.
@Op, you're clearly the douche bag in this story, sorry to tell you that, but if you take a step back and read it, it's definitely true.

Not really...I wrote it so people could laugh

What everyone else is going to tell you is that it's not actually love, or that there are plenty of other girls, so don't worry. That's not what I'm here to tell you.
I completely believe you when you say that you loved her, because almost the exact same thing happened to me, and I felt the same way. But that's not the point.
This is the point: There is not only one person in the world you can love. If there were, your chances of ever meeting this person in your lifetime would be next to nothing. THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE YOU CAN LOVE. <3
Also, regardless of how deeply you loved Jamie, and however cool and wonderful she was before, she's not anymore. Relationships function on reciprocity; if she doesn't feel the same way, it's a good thing you guys didn't go further, because if you did, it would end even worse. As hard as this is to accept, she's just not for you. Does that suck? HELL YES. You probably won't be able to forget about her for a long time, if you ever do. But that's good. The lessons you learned from this will stay with you, and you will move on with your life and meet someone else you love, someone who loves you too, and then make a happy blog on TL and brag about it. As they say, good luck, and have fun sir!

Yeah it really did suck for a while...but I guess I'm back to ladder mode now >

Guys wear belts for a reason. They show the line that you cannot hit below.

Hello,
From your previous blog ~
I'm just really angry and mad, and here's my question to you TeamLiquid:
How do I deal with this insurmountable rage that I have built up within me?
I would personally suggest that while it may seem like a good idea at first glance, venting your anger by assaulting friends of friends with greater physical strength than you is perhaps not the most optimal strategy.

Maybe you could try running away or something? Seems better then the harassment you will no doubt have to put up with now for fighting like that...

Sigh
What happened was a friend of mine and him were getting in some disagreements.
I was defending my friend.
Things escalated.
I kicked him in the nuts.
If you read carefully, you would've seen that.
