Break

Hey, I'm at home. Pretty cool to be adding an entry from home. I'm just sitting here waiting for Ron to get here.

I keep meaning to add an entry, or start one...but I keep remembering that I started the ex saga. I don't necessarily HAVE to finish the whole story all at once though. I can go back to it whenever I want.

So...my day....my week. It was all good. I went to my tax guy today and found out that I'm getting a return this year. A nice one, too! Last year was the first (and I will make sure it's the last) year I had to pay out. I had to work under the table at my new job for the first few weeks I was there. So this year I was at the same job and didn't have ten thousand W2s like I had previous years when I did a lot of temp work. Plus my salary is steadily going up, which helps a lot. It's cool that I made it to my appointment 'cause I almost forgot about it.

Hmmm, not too much else going on. I'm IMing with a guy I dated for a short time before Ron. We only dated a few weeks 'cause it just wasn't happenin'. I'm trying to be 'friends with him, but I don't know how. I'm so bad at having guy friends. When I broke up with my ex...almost two years ago now, I dated and messed around with some random guys. It was my first real 'dating' experience, actually. This guy is one I met online on a friend website. We talked for about four months before we actually met up. He seemed cool at first, like they ALL do. But then, time always tells the truth in terms of whether ya'll is gon' work out or not. Anyway, we chatted a lot...it was the basis of our relationship...online chatting, the occasional get together, movie watch, make-out, sex session...out to eat blah blah. It took only a couple times for the little thing we had going to crash. It went from...'Oooh, you're kinda cute to 'Eh' within a short time. At first I was just driven by hormones, and he DID smell good and have a cute smile. But when there's no spark, there's no way around it. Yea, I know. It's called DATING.

So anyway, I'm chatting with him right now. He popped online, wondering why on earth I'd be online on a Friday night when I have a boyfriend. It's, of course, weird trying to be friends after you've slept together. Awkward, 'specially when one of you has since moved on. He is still single. And looking. And asking about my boyfriend. I get that vibe. It's not gonna last. I suck at having guy friends. It just doesn't work for me. But guys are so much cooler than girls in some ways. It's good to have them as friends. It balances the scales. But, you gotta get that sex thing outta the way. I've had this discussion with my friend Melanie, actually. She agrees that the sexual part usually gets in the way. But there are rare circumstances in which a friendship can sprout...ooh, shit the parakeets are flying around the house..... Shit, Apples is missing. I'd better go find her before Stan kitty does. Time to put the birdies away and then I think I'll go play Nintendo. Haven't played it since the other night. Time for some Mario 2. Later.
