Oh, the trials of being such a fabulously popular woman!
This is so inappropriate for my first journal entry; it will give the completely wrong impression about me. I am kind of assuming that once some of jwendl's friends figure out who I am they will all want to read my journal too... the pressure! And here I am going on about something... well... anyway....
So I went out with jwendl again last night. :) This is not my complaint! It was great. Today, though, I check my email and what should I have but an email informing me that I got a response to one of my personal ads. "Damn!" I thought. I never got a response before and now that I have found myself in a relationship that looks promising, here I get a response. I mean, I am not thinking that if not for j I could date this person or whatever - the response was totally lame - it's just ironic. So I log in to the ad system to read the response, and I have *30* responses in my box! 30! And I never got notified of any of them.
Now I don't want to give the impression that I wish desperately to have had a chance with those people, it's just I am a nice person. I always respond when guys write about my ad. Even the lame ones, I will write back and say I am not interested or whatever. In my opinion, nothing is worse than being ignored and having no idea what you did wrong.* So I write back. But there is no way I can respond to all those 30 people now. Not only are there 30 of them, but what will I say? "Hi, sorry it took me 2 months to write, but too bad for you I found someone else anyway"? Arrggghh!
Yeah, so as I was saying before now I am giving some impressions about me that are not true. First of all that I am a fabulously popular woman, which is just not true. If any of you are women with personal ads up, you know what I am saying. Some guys will respond to any ad with evidence of a vagina and it is pretty clear that some of my responses were like that. And now by saying that it looks like I am trying to downplay how cool I am. I like me a lot, and I'm perfectly happy with not being a fabulously popular woman. And as you can tell I am very good at rambling.
I have to meet with some of my students in about 15 minutes so I need to get to my office. It would be nice if I get there before they do! I guess that's it for now....
