I don't understand how using quotation marks in the way that I use them would seem strange, I feel like I use quotation marks in the same way that other people use them.

I think that saying that I'm "not over" my ex-girlfriend is probably right, but I don't really think that me knowing when me and my ex-girlfriend broke up is something that would show, specifically, that I wasn't. I think that the choice to list it specifically here in this blog is more of a carry-over of the last blog than anything, and in the last blog it was more of a stylistic thing than anything.

I think that the choice to express the amount of time specifically, rather than deliberately choosing a "non-specific" amount of time makes little to no difference: although I think that probably if I were to choose to express the amount of time that has elapsed since we broke up in a non-specific term with the intention of seeming to be over my ex-girlfriend that it would signify more that, in an effort to "prove" that I was over my ex-girlfriend, I was, in fact, not over my ex-girlfriend. I think that continuing my choice to express it in specific terms, and that my original choice to express it in these terms, is mostly neutral.
