Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls

Men. Question. What exactly is your major malfunction?

Off subject (but actually, still kinda on subject), there was a point in my adult life where I could not successfully get a single man to be attracted to me, much less want me. Even much more less want me for an extended period of time. Could have been the potato nose, could have been lack of confidence.. whatever it was, it definitely wasn't working in my favor.

But this is the first time in four years that I've actually had to really pay attention to the way men react to me. I'm single and I'm outgoing, and apparently I'm far more awesome than everyone else (kidding!), because they're kinda coming out of the woodworks. And I'm kinda going crazy here, because I'd rather just go back to being unwanted. You guys are TOO MUCH DRAMA.

I didn't really go into much detail about Henry's e-mail, because honestly.. it was repetitive, and it annoyed the shit out of me. It was full of cowardice, and it's become fucking tradition for him to always choose "the norm" over what makes him happy.. which in turn makes me unhappy because I care about my peoples' happiness. Will he be back? Pfft. I have no doubt that he can't live without my pure unfathomable awesomeness.

Mike is really funny. This is a person who, in the past, had countless opportunities to make something of our “chemistry”. Don't get me wrong, I've never been “at his disposal”, but I've always had the connection thing with him, which he recognizes as the same, yet never acts on.

(By the way, I've come to the conclusion that men are HUGE pussies).

By now it's just funny, our friendship. Knowing someone so well is far more than just amusing. Because how did I know that the following would happen?

As soon as he gets a whiff of another man, (Matt, wtf?) another man who I have not established anything but a definite crush with.. but he knows this man, and is therefore thoroughly mentally fucked by it, he goes on this "let's hang out" "I'm texting you 800 times in one day" "I want to see you" kick. Come on. Seriously? Seriously?

He's pissing on his territory. Only his territory is like.. "pfft. I've got my own shit to piss on, bitch".

At any rate.. it's funny. Not taking it seriously is funny. We'll see what happens. I'm young, I'm single, I can do what I want!

p.s. Have you ever wondered what I look like at work? I'm pretty much the only person at the whole firm who doesn't wear pearls and pantsuits. Fuck that.





That's my boss to the right of me. She let's me get away with it.


Why are we so cool? The answer remains to be seen. One day it will be discovered that coolness was actually injected into us as infants, and grows with age. One day we will be so cool that we'll have to be banished to Dubai or something.

boys, work
