Busted

Thank you! Thank everyone who called, really. Please remember to take much of what I say with a lump of rock-salt. I'm getting bitchy as I'm tired and burned out from school. All that hippie-shit about being nice and saying positive things will have to wait, ok? KIDDING! I am a little grumpy, more so in the AM. I appreciate everything, really. I'm just tired. I'm taking the first week of November off to catch up in my studies and write a paper, so I should catch my breath then. ( Are you worried I might hurt someone? That I might hurt myself? )

No I don't mind being petted. Yes I realize that I do the same thing I was complaining about other people doing - I will fawn more over someone in an unusual outfit. Yes I realize dressing up (or revealing skin) sends a signal.

It was a nice weekend. I make a mighty fine chauffeur, if I do say so myself!

Things you might not want to know

The phrase "Your pain gives me an erection," is not considered appropriate in some office environments.

The phrase "Start with my ass and work your way sideways," is often found to be a confusing statement, more so on a first date.

Bon-bons, chocolate truffles, and ben-wa balls are not interchangeable. Addendum - although romantic, chocolate turns out not to be a 'sex food' at all.

1. Thank you!
2. I probably can't make it, but will try to make it out at least one day that weekend. It's not that I don't love you, but I'm not kidding when I say work and school are kicking my ass.
3. If you post a party invite in your LJ, it will scroll off my f-list in an hour, and I will forget about it shortly thereafter.
4. If you send out evites, I will not give out my email to them since they send spam and sell lists to spammers (I fear). I will respond, but most likely answer in the maybe column, which isn't too helpful - but there is not column for "If my contracts outline shows significant progress, the econ found. law quiz is done, and my paper is in reasonable shape.
5. Whatever kind of invite you email out, the most important factor as it relates to my attendance is whether or not the date appears in the subject line. I use my in-box as a social calendar.

Not bitching, just saying.

A friend pointed out recently that they thought I had no idea what I wanted in a lover/relationship. I was polite, but thought they were wrong. I listed all the qualities I like, I think the response was "That sounds more like a resume than what you want." I didn't have an answer.

I think my dating history alone demonstrates I have no idea what I want. I'm not sure that most people do know what they want. It seems the best state of affairs is to be happy alone, and deal with things if you happen to bump into someone that works out. Looking is going to result in disaster!

So, I've tried to make sense of "The dating José resume:" Education, experience, and a background check. ( Read more... )
