The Way Things Are Going...
So, being responsible pretty much sucks. I know that's not a hardcore revelation to anyone, and I seriously doubt it's an eye opener to even the most laid back of personalities...but these past few weeks have just...sucked.
I work nearly every day. A former co-worker is hooked on drugs and greatly in denial and is now no longer speaking to any of us that she worked with (won't even return a call to drop off the keys), I'm probably in love with my boss, and know that'll never work out, and I'm trying to cope with the fact that my body just isn't what it used to be, and I never thought it was that great to begin with.
I went on a date the other night, and I liked the girl I went with. We have our differences, but we have our commonalities as well. She's attractive, but hardly the perfect figured woman I've dreamt of. She's intelligent to a fault (concentrates WAAY too much on politics, in my opinion, knows next to nothing about sports), but quirky and a little sexy (she has a hot tub, has mentioned being naked in it, but still comes off as a pseudo-librarian type...that's a bit of a turn on). But, she has a busy schedule, I have a busy schedule, and there are things just telling me it isn't going to work the way I'd like it to. However, when I try and think of the things that would make it not work...I can't think of any. But, I haven't talked to her in a few days (she had company coming in, so this was expected) so I have no idea when we'll see each other again.
But, the weird part is...I'm thinking about long term things. Marriage, mostly. A possible kidd-o in the future. And that's really weird for me. Usually, I just hope for a second and third date and see what happens. Now, I'm thinking if we can't find a common ground outside of politics and sports, I'd just be wasting my time with her, and the clock is ticking (egads, how woman-ish does that sound??).
Anyway, I need to hit the hay, because I open, yet again, in the morning. Maybe I'll get some time to get more writing down in the evening...I need to get back to that again, soon.
