You ask me, why am I in low spirits? Don't be silly! If I were in low spirits, I would have a really long face. Oh, do I?
Well, recently I broke up with Tim. He is a good guy no doubt, but if he were more prudent, I would appreciate that a lot. There is nothing that can be changed now, though, it is all over for good. Naturally, if we had met earlier in September, I could have forgiven him for such rude attitude. But now I have changed and I cannot possibly tolerate his misbehaviour! What did he do, you ask me? Well, he borrowed a pen from me on Tuesday and chewed down the pen lid! What a horrendous behaviour! Since then, we are at odds.
