SERIOUSLY.
i know it's thursday. and it's a little late to be thinking/writing about things that happened last weekend (move on already!) but i'm going to write about it anyway.
last week was the welcoming party for incoming graduate students (i know, i'm a second year - but it's FREE BEER!). amy and i headed on over and met up with a groupd of 'older' graduate students to chat and enjoy the free beer. all is well, the beer is good, etc. at one point of the night, i'm talking to two guys; let's call them 'guy A' and 'guy B' for lack of creativity. i've known guy A for a while now (hence why he gets alphabetical 'superiority') and i used to like him back in the day ... that is before he made a move for my roommate (bad move buddy, you had a sure thing here!). needless to say, i stopped liking him right then and there (this situation has happened to me too many times, and i'm proud to say that i've gotten pretty good at moving on). guy B is new in the picture, and he's totally (totally) awesome. i can't quite tell if there is anything other than friend potential with guy B, but he's definitely higher on the 'i like you' list (no, i don't actually keep a list, but it is a good idea) than guy A. so, there i am, talking to 'you're awesome and maybe someday i'd like to date you' guy B and 'i'm sooooo over you' guy A. AND ALL I WANT TO DO IS JUMP GUY A. i hate myself.
i used to have such good taste in men - such good taste in men that my friends dated all the guys i liked. kristin is dating my former crush andy (3.5 years!) and emily dated kyle (sigh) for, like, a long time. WHERE DID MY TASTE IN GOOD MEN GO?
graduate school is ruining my love life.
