Oy, I have this sneaking feeling that I'm going to be lonely this weekend. If you're around please call me because I'm pathetic. I couldn't do much last week either because I had to work over the weekend. Work has been really busy for me, which is part of why my blog is so dead. Also instead of blogging I have temporarily turned my attention toward online dating. I think I have most of my anger and bitterness under control as far as that goes. However I may write some vitriolic proclamations here for amusement only.
This book "He's Just Not That Into You" has been sweeping the nation. The library doesn't have it yet, but I read the excerpts online. (And whoa, it's ranked #8 on Amazon.) It's been called "freeing" and it is sort of a relief to know that it really is best to not say to oneself, "He said he wanted to see me again but it's been a month and we can't seem to get together..." or "I wonder why he's dating other people." The basic premise is that some day some dude will just be fully STOKED to meet you and nothing will stand in his way and he will want to call you all the time. And the rest of the guys you just don't need to fret over. One thing that sticks in my craw though is how dudes are less likely to be STOKED on you if you approach them first. If they're really STOKED, why should that affect things? They just give you that whole Man The Hunter genetic hard-wiring thing. And so, as with "The Rules" we have to sit and look pretty while men approach us. This is proving difficult because no one seems to be getting STOKED about my new ad. Please discuss.
