This Amanda thing did not work out. We went out, had a good time, she gave me her number unsolicited. I made two attempts to set up another evening and was flat out ignored on both occasions. It should have been obvious that I couldn't count on this amounting to anything when she told me she'd been content hanging out with her dog for the past ten months. I have also got to stop meeting girls who still live with their parents. Or find a better way of air conditioning my bedroom.
Four months already since Gail. Three months since I've had anything. This is entirely too long. Every girl I see is gorgeous and then I do that thing where I imagine three years of a relationship is 20 seconds, because that somehow makes me feel less lecherous.
I don't know. I feel much different than I did two years ago. I think this last relationship helped me break out of the late teens/early 20s mindset I'd been clinging to since college and formulate my adult self. The irony being that I did a terrible job putting that into action during the time I was in this very important, adult relationship. I've got the next one down cold.
In the last three months, I decided my outer-self was in need of some rebranding as well. Gilt.com has become the gold mine for this venture. I've spent entirely too much money but I'm assembling clothing collectively worthy of being dubbed a wardrobe. All my Old Navy garbage is in a bag for the Salvation Army and now I'm rolling with Hickey-Freeman, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Gant, and Ted Baker. I've been scouting secondhand stores as well. Last week I got this handsome full-length wool herringbone overcoat, fully lined with silk for $15 + whatever it costs for dry cleaning and minor repairs.
My co-worker John was my inspiration. He's been doing the same thing. This is the guy who is my work wife. Tomorrow is his last day. It feels like a break-up. He's even returning my copy of "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail" tomorrow. In a way it's good, because it'll spur me to be more active in my job search when there's nothing enjoyable about my day. I want to follow John's example, wherever I go next needs to ask more of me and give me the opportunity to move upward.
You should all acquire Dinosaur Jr.'s "Farm" as it is excellent. It takes a lot for me to get into a straight up rock album.
