I know. I know I've said, numerous times, that I'd like to find Someone, even Someone For A Very Short Time. And when Peter said this evening, "I am going to dinner with a friend, he's nice, would you like to come?" I thought, Oh! Oh maybe! (Peter also said, "We're going for sushi," and frankly that's what sealed the deal for me but let's not digress.) Yes, I thought, and I also thought, Hey who knows?
Dear universe to whom I make my petitions -- that was quite possibly the most awkward person I have ever met. I had the unique feeling of knowing I was being actively Hit Upon and just wishing he would stop trying. I do not consider myself an unreasonably picky person, but Universe, the man compared himself - favorably! - to
George Costanza!
It was, all told, an unfortunate experience in disappointed expectations. Though one I will undoubtedly laugh about for months to come, because I am actually a terrible person. Also, hey, the sushi was great.
affectionately yours,
me.
