So, in my last article, I documented my Friday night with the cop. He has called me every day since then, multiple times. Last night, he was "in my hood" so he asked if he could stop by. I wasn't doing anything (Sopranos was over for the evening and I was reeling at the fact that Adriana got whacked), so I said sure. He came over and immediately started to try to make out with me. We made out for a little while, but it started going too far. So, I stopped him and explained to him that I...
In my dating past, I have had certain rules/standards which I follow. They are about the specific mate I am looking for. Here are the brief rules: 1)must be employed and not live at home, 2) no cops or firefighters, 3) no back hair, 4) no drugs, 5) no one night stands. So, myself, A1, T, and M met up at Mixtec in Adams Morgan last night for some yummy Mexican food and margaritas. It was a lot of fun! M and T decided that they wanted to go home at 10 pm, so A1 and I headed to the Reef. W...
My co-worker (who I wish was single because he is so cute) suggested to me today that I "just have to get out there and meet people". I kiddingly said, "sure, I'll just walk down Wisconsin Ave with a sandwich board on me saying that I am single and ringing a bell like the salvation army santas". Can you believe that he told me that might be a good idea? (He was kidding, of course!) He suggested a personal ad online as well. He even offered to write it for me. I know better than to do ...
Well, now mid-week has passed. No call. Forget this handsome stranger...he isn't even worth my time! Saw A2 tonight, the mutual friend. She actually saw him before the girls night dinner plans driving home. She said he pulled over and said hi and then went on his way. I told her he hasn't called, she didn't act surprised. I pried a little and asked if he was even remotely interested. She said that he was, but that he wasn't looking for a relationship or anything. Well...duh. Me eith...
Ok, so the handsome stranger called on Thursday night. We agreed that it would be fun to meet for drinks sometime this week. We both didnt know our availability, so he said he would call "early in the week". Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't early in the week mean before Wednesday? Wednesday means mid-week to me. Early week would mean Monday or Tuesday. Maybe I'm looking too deep into the conversation, but he hasn't called, and maybe I am a bit disappointed. Maybe he's busy with wor...
So, I went shopping for some new duds for my new figure. Let me tell you, getting dumped is a GREAT weight loss plan. I have dropped about 15 pounds in the past month. My old clothes just hang on me now. One of my co-workers started calling me "skeletor"---how rude! I was thin to begin with, now I am back to a college size 2!!! It probably wasn't the healthiest way to lose some weight, but I cant complain with the outcome. So, I spoiled myself a little with some cute going out clothes....
Saturday night was week 2 of the lonely hearts club meeting. A1, A2 (she decided to come out after all) and myself went to dinner at a nice place in Dupont called Fin. The server was quick and the drinks were top notch. We were going to go to the waterfront, but it was pouring down rain, so we ended up at Lulus. I had never been there and its just like every other cheesy bar in DC. The male clientele were all there to hit on young girls (they have a, well, relaxed policy about IDs but it...
First, I wanted to thank everyone for such insightful remarks to my last article. I stand corrected, I am not a firm believer in karma, but in the Wiccan rule of three. It was suggested that maybe I join a class or something similar instead of going to the bar to meet people. Frankly I don't have time for that. Let me clarify something--I don't only go to the bar to meet people and then go home and sit by my phone to wait for it to ring. I live in downtown DC, I work for a company w...
So, I read the comments of the fellow joe users regarding my last posting. First off, I am not one of those girls who gives out phony digits. I have never done that. If I don't think that the person is someone I want around, I tell them that I am busy right now(which I am), or something along those lines. There is nothing more hateful than the phony digits. And I am a firm believer in karma. Everything I have ever done to someone has come back to bite me. I have not been sitting wa...
Its now Wednesday after 10 pm. I have yet to receive a phone call from the handsome stranger at the bar. And the major problem with this---the handsome stranger and I share a mutual friend (A2) who happens to be out of town this week until Friday. A1 thinks maybe he just lost my number and is trying to get in touch with A2. So in the event he lost my number, he can't get it until Friday anyway. But I doubt that is it. I am sure that he just asked to be nice and really has no desire to con...
Saturday night with the "lonely hearts club" was quite interesting. A1 and I went to Raku, had some sushi and a few peach martinis. I have never had such a good martini. We headed over to the Cocoa lounge to meet up with A2 a few others. I had a few apple martinis there too. Yummy! I was buzzing pretty hard and enjoying the company and the music. The bartender sucked and was so slow, but hey, you can't have a completely perfect night. I was just standing there, talking to my girls, wh...
His last email to me after I emailed him spilling every thought, every emotion since the day he left: " I'm still sorting through a lot of feelings about our relationship, about the way things ended. It's going to take me a while. A long while. It's nice that you're thinking about things but it's still so soon after our break up that what your thinking now will probably change several times in the coming months. I don't know what else to say other than that. We're not getting back tog...
Been listening to a lot of dashboard confessional right now....this would be the song of the day.... "I'm missing your bed, I never sleep. Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak. And this bottle of beast is taking me home. I'm cuddling close to blankets and sheets. You're not alone and you're not discrete. You make sure i know who's taking you home. I'm reading your note over again. There's not a word that i comprehend, except when you signed it "I will love you always and forev...
It started in a dream...I was lying in a hospital bed, paralyzed from being hit by a car. There he was, hovering over me telling me to wiggle my toes, damnit. It was a weird dream, I told him about it, we laughed about it, and pretty much shrugged it off. Then, while he is dumping me for no clear reason on my front porch with all of my "left behind" possessions in a small plastic bag, he says "wiggle your toes, damn it". My dreams become my worst nightmares. April 9th--"good" friday. H...
