(no subject)
I guess it's been a while. I've been good. Nothing ultimately special going on.
I'm house-sitting for a friend the week between xmas and new years, so Gizmo gets to play with two other dogs for an entire week. My parents are coming to visit me too, and I think I'm making xmas dinner this year.
On the 30th, I'm supposed to see Heather, and I'm excited about that... There's a chance that it won't happen, depending on the circumstances, and that would suck...
In that case, my new year's eve would be spent alone watching movies or something else that'd keep me completely off the road. Is it weird that I refuse to drive or be a passenger on NYE? I mean, even if I'm sober or my driver is, there's a pretty good chance the other car has a drunk driver. I'm not *totally* opposed to it, but every event I know of is at the Las Vegas Strip this year, and that's one of the more dangerous places to drive ANY time, more-so on NYE (well, technically the strip will be closed off to cars, but the fwy that parallels it will be loaded with drunks). Whatever: either I go or I don't, and I get over it, or I don't.
So far, after the 31st, I have no plans.
Sarah, who decided to stay single for a while because she'd never really experienced life on her own, has officially been in a committed relationship for approximately a month. Her new official boyfriend will be officially living with her as of next week. I've already seen signs of her submissiveness return, and I'm sad for her... She doesn't seem to realize that a few of the things he's doing really look like power-plays from the outside; like he's trying to establish dominance. I don't really want to say anything to her, but I have a feeling that whether I say something or not, it's going to put a strain on our friendship.
On a side note, completely unrelated to Sarah and her man, I wish certain people were more mature. I don't want to get into details, because it's not something I feel comfortable talking about yet, but there it is. I apologize for perking interest without following through.
Let's see, on the boy front:
Last weekend I went on a date with one guy who's nice, but very vindictive. People who are extremely vindictive scare me. Also, our 'date' was very date-like (subtleties) but no kiss. He's called since then. Yesterday was when he told me how vindictive he can be, before that it was a non-issue. He wants to go out this weekend, but thankfully the 'rents will be here, so I have a great excuse to think about the situation for a while.
There's another guy (seems like a really nice guy, and has a good career) who talks to me on the phone, and wants to see me at the bar, but he has yet to ask me anywhere else. Because of this, when he says "maybe I'll see you Friday", I purposely won't go. I guess it's progress that he called Monday to make sure I'd be there that night so he could spend a little while with me.
A friend wants to set me up with a possible third, may get to meet him soon, may not. Is it funny that I said "third" when evidently the first two are not actually in the running?
Wow, check out the Novel About Nothing that is this entry. Guess this was one of those times when I felt like talking but had nothing important to say.
