Things are happening really quickly all of a sudden. I was offered a second job, doing merchandising for a wine distribution company. It's just part time, and it's a salaried job, which means I can do the work on my own time -- I won't have to worry about anything clashing with my work schedule at the restaurant. That's more money coming in, and I've also been able to make a few bucks on some side projects that aren't quite legal but that pay well nevertheless. Here's hoping I'll actually be able to start saving money soon, instead of sending it off to the bill collectors the second I receive it.
I've seen Mark a few times since our first date, and good God, I'm crazy about him. His sense of humor is incredible, he's really easy to talk to, and I feel so comfortable around him. I was at his house last night, watching movies and drinking beer, and we made out for hours. I decided, though, that I am NOT GOING TO SLEEP WITH HIM. Not yet, anyway. I like him too much, and I don't want to fuck things up by moving too quickly. God, I wanted him so badly, though. It took every last ounce of restraint I've got not to rip his clothes off. We talked about it, and we both agreed we should take things slowly, which is killing me, but at the same time, I'm glad. If he's willing to wait, it must mean he really cares about me. He certainly acts like he does.
I will not sleep with Mark.
I will not sleep with Mark.
I will not sleep with Mark.
Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Sexual frustration bites.
I've been hanging out with one of my coworkers from the restaurant, James. He's a really cool guy, and we get along well -- it's exciting to finally be meeting more people.
Oh, and I've been dieting. I'm not sure what's different now, as opposed to all the other times I've tried to diet, but this time it's working -- I've lost almost 20 pounds so far! I feel so much better about myself, my clothes fit a lot nicer than they did before....it's awesome.
So, overall....things are great. Work is great, my new job is great, Mark is great, new friends are great, weight loss is great.
Sex is great, too. But I'm not going to think about that. *Forehead slap*
