rebound? a bad thing? getting over a relationship.

Well first off I want to say that San Francisco is officially my favorite city! and I am very excited about college!

Attention: Sami is content... for now

So while I was in San Fran ( I know that I'm totally lame for calling it that btw) for the weekend, I was thinking about relationships and thought to myself, while I was sitting next to a very attractive male at orientation, that maybe its not so hard and difficult to get over someone, and trust me I know that a rebound is not always the way to go, but is it always a bad thing? I just think that this crap that they sell you about it taking time to get over someone is bullshit. I know that for some people is it hard and it takes a long time, and obviously it depends on how long you were together and how the relationship ended, but I like to think of myself as an independent woman, and I'm not going to just sit around and wait for my ex to show me in some grand way that he wants me back. I'm going to move on. Maybe with someone else... I know that rebounds can get pretty sticky, especially when they come in the form of "no strings attached" because from experience I know that friends with benefits never works, but is trying to move on really such a bad thing? I know that there are other ways to get over someone, like say taking up knitting or eating a lot of ice cream, but I dont think that I'm a horrible person for wanting someone and a little excitement in my life. Am I terribly misguided? 

Clearly this logic is a little crazy. So call me crazy. I'm not going to sit around and wait for someone who hurt me pretty badly to come crawling back to me apologizing for all the pain he caused. I'm over it. He should be too. So maybe I will go flirt with that attractive male sitting next to me. Carpe diem.
