I want to row too. There's a T Rowe team for some dragon boat races on the harbor... but I was scared to try out. I think I'm gonna look up some lessons. It really feels good. Even softball has me feeling good about myself. And I want to play kickball in the fall and now let's look up some lessons. You've inspired me! Let's do this!!

Where are you going to move? What part of the city are you in now?

Have you read kelsi's entry today? It is so perfect.
|

lissacakes : |

That happened to me I don't know how many times. I assumed all the worst and that it was obviously something wrong with me, but screw it. SCREW IT. You're right, he's not worth the energy.

Hi Angelface. I have many hugs for you. I'm sorry I haven't been good with the feedback lately, but I HAVE BEEN READING. I laugh, cry, rant and theorize right along with you. Promise.
|

lissacakes : |

Is it cheating? Maybe duplicitous (sp?), but you told him you want to see other people and he blew you off. When I think about it too much I feel guilty about the dates I went on that Robert still doesn't know about.
|
| from
bubaloo : |

You have nowhere to go but up, baby! Hang in there, it will get bettah!
|

lissacakes : |

Exactly about the book. Have him meet you at a coffee place. If he freaks out, just tell him off. Oh, I love telling someone off when I'm prepared. If he doesn't already know that he's a freak, then he needs to!!
|
| from
bubaloo : |

Ask him for the book back. It's not his.

I fear that this is just what guys who would go on eHarmony are like.

Wow, what a crazy turn of events. E-disharmony?

Wait, wait, wait a cotton-pickin' second. That breakp was Kiwi and not IOA???? OMG, I thought it was IOA till I went back and read the earlier entries and then realized that IOA is in California. Kiwi is nuts. Push you down on the couch? Invite himself out with your friends? Cry? Run!
|
| from
lissacakes : |
|
I feel like this move for me will be a shedding of all the dead weight and I'll be light and free and just me. I think that's how you felt when you first went to Seattle.
|
| from
bubaloo : |
|
Yes, beware! I am also a little weirded out by lissa's leaving. Can't you all just stay here forever and whenever I need you?
|
| from
lissacakes : |
|
Wow. Today's title. Nice.
|
| from
lissacakes : |

I'm still reading. And I'm not sure that the new spot is where I want to be, but I don't want to be "lissacakes" anymore. Oh, yes, I am leaving PHX on 3.24.06...
|
| from
bubaloo : |
|
I want to ditto what Lissa said. Except the part about winning with her. LOL. OK, maybe no one can win with me either. Sigh.
|
| from
lissacakes : |
|
It's easier said than done, because I write people off for not liking vegetables, but just think of how much fun you had with him. Maybe he was like that because he was nervous about impressing you in front of his friends. If you hang out with them again and he's not more comfortable, that'd be more telling. Maybe in his own house he'd be different. There are other things equally as appealing as what your parents had, don't you think? Maybe he will be more shy and quiet and you'll be out there pouring drinks and the caterer or best friend will be putting finishing touches on the food. I get icked out with every person I ever go on a date with unless I've been friends with them for a long time beforehand. I don't know what to say, because no one can win with me.
|
| from
lissacakes : |
|
Oh, so jealous. I want six lovely dates.

It's so hard to keep up with you and your men, lol. When you use the name Kiwi I think of Tom Hank's volleyball for some reason.

Huh, wha? I said it fine the first time. Uh, nevermind.

lissacakes : |

I meant "are NOT right for each other." I left out the "NOT" but you got what I meant.
|
| from
lissacakes : |

After last night, I think you have a lot of ammo to end the relationship without it getting too personal or dramatic. Just something like, "I just don't think that we are right for each other long term: the different tastes in movies, tv, dinner parties, whole lifestyles. And I am looking for someone that I am right with long-term." And then... you are free for the more interesting co-worker and you can say, "You'll never believe this, but IOA and I dated for a bit. -- Yeah, we were so wrong for each other." Would that work?
|

kelsi : |

So what DID you do with the cats? And how have you slipped under my radar?
|

That's how I felt about Phx after the CS left. It was like a whole new place. I am excited! I hope this all works out. I don't want to wait anymore!

I've kinda looked at Seattle but all the jobs that come up for Finance are for Washington Mutual and I'm not so sure about the banking industry, or mortgage for that matter either! Hey, I should look at a Seattle paper online, because I think it's a place I would really like... and monster.com sucks. I use it for ideas, then just go directly to companies sites.

I'm a dork: Feb. 10th or 17th. Maybe next week!!!! I've been to Baltimore, with my dad, to look at Johns Hopkins. I think I could like it. Near the harbor is cool, but it seemed like the cool area was so small... oh, well I shall see soon enough and I'm closer to lots of other places I want to see if I do go. Yay! Are you home? Did you have FUN?

That blows. You're worth more than that crap job anyway, but it still strains, I'm sure...

Oh, no! Why? Did they clear out all of you guys like you thought they would? What the hell? agksangoans!

lissacakes : |

I'm so non-committal about either moving or staying here. I'm unhappy at work (working late, working weekends, training three people, stil behind on everything and all my co-workers keep quitting, etc.) so I thought I'd look around and New York is where the right work is.
|
| from
lissacakes : |

Um, if you could pursue your idealized, fantasy relationship with any one of the guys you've talked about in either of your two diaries, who would you pick? And what would it be like?

What happened with Joshua? As far as Seattle Boy, maybe his timidity from earlier will end up being one of the most endearing things about him.
|

Goodbye LA boyfriend, Hello Seattle boyfriend?
|
| from
lulublu : |

So LA boy is not LA boyfriend then? I was thinking that maybe he was......I wish you were coming to Orange County this weekend, then you could hang out with me instead....haha.

wait.....who's joshua again?
What about LA boyfriend?
I'm perplexed.
We need to lunch.

Oh, man. That is a funny episode.
I love that damn show.
Thanx for the cheerleading, Punkin'.
|
| from
lissacakes : |

I almost did that once with Robert when we were having sex and I was really drunk. We really said it a couple weeks later. I think it's okay because you stopped yourself, so he knows that you aren't jumping the gun but he knows that you kind of do mean it a little bit so it's sweet.
|
| from
lulublu : |
|
Ah, yes.
The inevitable "i lo---(shit)...."
I've done it. We all have.
It's a casualty of war.
And by "war" I did indeed mean love.
That Benetar chick was right on the fucking money.
|
| from
lissacakes : |
|
I don't know quite why, but I just don't like this Wilder character. Seattle boy, I like, but wow is he frustrating. I was wondering a couple entries ago, is LA boy not open to moving to Seattle? There is absolutely no reason why you should be putting more thought into moving than him...
|
| from
lissacakes : |

What is wrong? Oh, poor thing. Email me if you want.

Oh, and my father... ugh. He drove me crazy. I went home from California a day early because I was so done with him.
|

lissacakes : |

Fuck? And dating a boy in California???? Hmmm, prying for information... NOW. I'm trying to think of what to bother saying about Canada. Beautiful weather... sunny, 70 degrees, breezy. Ate a lot. Shopped a lot. I love Toronto. Went to the Royal Ontario Museum. I should have gone to the Art Gallery of Ontario instead. Shopping was the most notable thing as I bought very cute work things at a Canadian store called Jacob. A cool sweatshirt from Roots, another Canadian store, and some shirts from H&M, which is only in world class cities... so not Phoenix.

Jello. Eat lots of Jello.
Or take prenatal vitamins.
My hair grew a lot when I was pregnant. I'm convinced it was the vitamins and jello I was gobbling.
I hate jello.

I did the mother of all "drunk dials" once - vicadin and muscle relaxers. And I had the unfortunate luck to have the experience relayed back to me the next day, once I found the other half of the phone of course. Thank God no one was there to engage me in witty banter the time I was on morphine in the hospital. Well, actually, that could have been a great story...

I love the name "Captain Ridiculous!!!" I use it all the time. I say, "My friend Hillary calls Rob 'Captain Ridiculous,'" and I say it in a movie announcer voice sometimes, and everyone loves it. I like this "intuition thing" and I want this "intuition thing" with a boy of my own!

Every time someone at work says, "At least it's Friday," I feel this wave of depression and think, "No not 'at least it's Friday'!!! Another week of my life is gone. Where did it go?" Ehh, I'm never appeased. Don't mind me.

How are you doing, my dear? I want to hear about your venture out into Olympia... :)

Is it possible to take a train? Buses kind of scare me, unless there are no ghettos between Seattle and Olympia. How far away is Olympia? Maybe if you go, there will be a cute stranger from your parts???? Oh, shush, I can hope.

I know this sounds so trite, but you are so not a failure. It's so hard to find a real job. Waitressing and cashiering - pretty easy. Real jobs with the benefits and the salary are so hard. First off, a lot of those companies just take forever to finally make a decision. (At my work, they started talking about hiring a couple people in December. Didn't start interviewing until January. No one started until February. Second, so often they have in mind what family friend or internal candidate they will probably hire but they'll still waste your time to keep up appearances. It's just so hard to even find jobs that are worth applying to. And they freakin' want your first born for the priviledge of working there. It took me FOREVER to find my current job. Months and months of looking. It went like this: rewrote resume on Saturday, applied on Sunday, called on Monday, interviewed next Monday, asked to come on the following Monday and from there I didn't start for six weeks. My suggestion - if you know someone just brilliant (as much so or if possible more than you) ask them to help you with the resume. It was so hard for me, but I let Rob help. He's always gotten every job he wanted - and I instantly start getting the calls back that I want.

Despite your jealousy issues (please. who wouldn't want to kick her in the teeth), remember:
I think you're fanfuckingtastic.
Can we PUHLLLEEEZZZE be intellectual mommies w/burp cloths together?
I think that would be capital.
|

Oy. That is so beyond depressing- that I don't even have that much ambition left to be jealous in the same way. But I think I vaguely remember - and you were storming around, hyperventilating, right? =) If A even thinks she's worth the time of day, then we (the royal we) have vastly overestimated A. I think he'll see right through her.
