You probably have noticed that I have been involved in much sadness/drama/etc. It's really not the norm for me. In fact, I can't think of anytime in my entire life that I have had so many major things happen at once.
It's been one of those times when you think, OK, nothing else bad can happen. And then it does. I've wondered what I did to deserve all of this bad karma.
As for my dad, I haven't heard from him. Today was the "deadline," and because he never called, I refuses to speak anymore of him. Nor will I make any effort to communicate with him. So please refrain from mentioning him to me. Thanks so much...
Finally, however, the saying "things can only get better" rings true. I received a bit of good news on Friday. Actually, FABULOUS news. It's still "secret" so I can't discuss details, but IF it happens, I'll be one happy little Bossy.
Until I get confirmation, I'll try to put on a happy face for you!!!!
First, there was a talk with Jake Brigance on Friday, and it was basically me making it MORE clear that I can't date him. Not with his back-and-forth emotional game playing. He wants to be "friends." I did see him today at an event, and he was friendly enough. I was apathetic and distant, though polite and nice. He also asked about the wedding I went to last night. The wedding HE was supposed to go to with me. I took my friend, the Pilot, instead. And the Comedian was there. The three of us had a blast. So really, I'm quite glad Jake didn't go. He would've definitely been more of a downer, and the fun dancing that was had last night maybe wouldn't have happened. (on a side note, the Comedian is turning out to be a great, fun friend... He's going to be a good wingman...)
Jake also ended our Friday conversations with this... I had said, "sorry things didn't work out." He replied, "I don't know that I would say it didn't work out. I'm just in a place right now that makes me need to pull away." To me, that's him trying to string me along a little. Not going to work. I'm moving on...
...to, the Yankee. Yes, we have a new character in our on-going tales of the single life. He was originally referred to as Hot Neighbor (not on this blog, just in general), but that is such a generic term. So now, he's the Yankee. Because he is a Northerner. Also fairly generic, but it's a good way to refer to him. He just moved into my building. We met by the elevator, saw each other on the street. We exchanged apartment numbers, in attempt for him to meet new people since he's new to town.
I really didn't think much of it, either because things like that rarely materialize, or because I was too wrapped up in the silly behavior of Jake Brigance.
Then last night.... As I stood, NAKED, by my apartment door (INSIDE the door people, I'm not running naked through the halls), putting laundry into the dryer, the Yankee knocked on my door.
Oh, if cameras could've caught my reaction. My first response was to FREEZE. Then the Angels materialize.... Evil angel says, pull a Samantha and open the door naked (such a durrty Angel, she is...). Good Angel says to pretend to be not at home. Single, fun-loving, boy-crazy, Bossy Angel says, tiptoe away from the door, grab your cute little robe, and answer the door.
Of COURSE I listened to Single Angel. I finally got to the door, opened it, and to my amusement saw his reaction at seeing Bossy in her cute little robe. A mix of embarrassment, shock, curiosity...
I explained I was about to get in the shower and get ready for a wedding. He said he just wanted to stop by and say hi, because he has been out of town for awhile and hadn't had the chance to do so yet.
We then exchanged numbers. And proceeded to fall into a VERY comfortable 10-minute conversation. He is just as talkative and out-going as I am, people. A nice change from up-tight Jake Brigance. In that mere 10 minutes, we managed to learn much about each other. Amazing. I fell in love, right there on the spot, in the cute little robe.
Unfortunately, I have no idea if he fell in love. Nor am I clear as to whether he is interested, or just wants to make new friends.... Stay tuned to find out, I guess!
(p.s. If Flirty doesn't post SOON, I'm divorcing her.)
