So He called today. This shouldn't make me as giddy as I am. After all, it's nothing serious, right? It started out casual and nothing has happened to change the status quo. I suppose I'm lonely. Or maybe it's just that I really like this guy, he's cute and he's paying attention to me. This is usually a recipe for disaster, as far as my love life goes. Oh well, if we applied every learned lesson we'd never be able to say, but I thought it'd be different this time, right?

On that same note, the Stand Up guy hasn't called. Maybe he thinks that after making me wait 3 hours for him and not getting an apology I'd actually want to call him. Don't get me wrong, I'm desperate enough at this point that I probably would, if not for Him and his oh-so-timely interest. But I - or rather, my pride - has been saved from that particular fate-worse-than-death.

And on a related note, the guy from work is acting weird and I don't know what to do. In this case, "weird" can be translated into interested when I'm not interested in him.

I also have not one, but two people who I thought had disappeared from my life trying to get back in. One took himself away, the other was sorta pushed out. Either way, my dilemma is not that I hold a grudge against either one. I have never been the type to carry around those "poor me, you denied me parental support at a tender age and I'll be in therapy rest of my life." No, not my style. Rather, the problem is that they've been out of my life for so long that I really don't have anything to talk to them about. "Well, let's see, since junior high, I've ..." Can you understand my dilemma?
