Renaming

I have a strange habit when it comes to my cell phone: I like to rename people who I no longer contact (for good reason) with nicknames reminding me why I don't speak to them. Most of them are ex-boyfriends with a few backstabbing girls sprinkled in there (for a little variety). I fear that if I delete the contacts I will accidentally pick up on someone I have no interest in speaking to. Unfortunately I learned this the hard way a few times. Since then I have sworn to never delete another nutcase again. A few of my favorites are: F*ckOff, PlayaPlaya, LazyAs*Matt, MitchIsAnA*s, SelfishA*shole, Skirtchaser, JudgementalBi*ch, and the newest edition, BusyMike. Skirtchaser was inadvertently erased at some point and was re-added when I accidentally picked up his call almost a year after we had stopped talking. He felt it was still appropriate to attempt making me a booty call. LazyAs*Matt was not too lazy to try to re-establish contact for 6 months after I told him I had no interest in dating someone with absolutely no ambition whatsoever. Finally, BusyMike joins the ranks of guys who have been re-named. It turns out my attempts to be patient with him have failed. I realized that I deserve more than the feeling that I am never present in his mind. Clearly there is not room for me in Mike's life, and I have to accept that. At the same time, I have no qualms about letting him go since it will only be a matter of time before he is replaced (hopefully by someone with better intentions for me).
