an entry, perhaps more random, but at least, filled with positive thoughts.
& the most attractive man hit on me in tj's the other day. tall, broad and strong but lean, curly long-ish hair. he wasn't cute and he wasn't hot. he was handsome. the best kind of handsome. and about to graduate from school with an mba. so sad that he was so nervous that he like...freaked after he knocked my drink to the ground and shattered it. he bought me another, but shortly thereafter, left abruptly still strangely enough, a ball of nerves. apologizing to the end for my drink.
& it was probably far too satisfying to look up from my glass, first to make eyes at the boy i was talking to, only to catch tomas watching me intently as i flirted with someone else. fucking men. you get one talking to you, and all of a sudden, you're ten times more attractive to all the others.
& speaking of other men in my recent history. pete. finally dealt with that crush. it didn't even make me jealous to see him with the fiance. or listen to her tell me, over and over, that she is engaged. i was fine. i was over it. oh yeah. last thursday, he tells me, they broke up. fantastic.
& i got some good pics back from graduation. mine and others. i should get some posted soon, i hope. its weird to look at them, though. to remind myself that its all over. that whole four years. i still don't believe it.
& bought a new blowdryer today. the main one karen and i had been using died painfully the day of graduation, and made me late for meeting my parents, which they were not thrilled about. the other one we had wasn't so great, so we threw both of them out while packing up the apartment. i got a new ceramic ion one today. yay. let's hope this one works well, and lasts.
& also, bought a magazine and some spray sunblock. i fully intend to block up and lounge on the deck tomorrow if its sunny. it better be sunny. i've been inside my house for days trying to sort out the mess that was my life packed into boxes (and its still not done. but i don't care. i need a break.)
& although the job search is slow and frustrating at the moment, today i heard from my uncle who works at chase, that eileen, who i used to work under, has been working pretty hard to get/make me a job in her department. confidence booster that is. also, a clue that i need to email her again, as i have clearly not yet annoyed her to death.
i'm gonna go. wanna watch the end of iron chef america ;) i hope wolfgang puck wins.
xoxo.
