Well, i have done it.
either this marks the end of civilization as i know it or some sort of ephiany.
Not sure which.
i have signed on to an online dating service.
gasp,
oh- and i know it has been a while since i have posted. been busy doing nothing, but something.
yes.
eharmony.com. i was a little worried at first since it struck me a as a really conservative site, but after going through the questions, i changed my mind. i guess time will tell. i only signed up for a month, so we shall see. i just got tired of being the only single person around. being, 3rd, 5th, 7th wheel is really not so much fun. and it really has come to that. everyone i know is in a realtionship.
the irony is as i am doing this, i have come to the conclusion that married men are kinda slime buckets.
i say this due to the fact that i have watched firsthand as a number of married men just don't care about the fact that they are supposed to be loyal. maybe i am some sort of relic, but cheating to me is one of the biggest insults that a realtionship can garner.
i have heard the, "we have an open relationship" line tossed around. seems a little too easy to me.
possibly, i am overreacting. but i don't think so.
what else, my boss is leaving the company. as this is a MAJOR deal, i have begun searching for new jobs. the one cool potential... he has a history of taking people with him when he moves to new companies. he has interviews in Atlanta, dallas and outside of San francisco. i would go to any of those places. of course, it would be a few months before anything would come of it, but hey...
might be the kick i need to get out of DSM.
i am also going to start a new diet this week. i have to do something. i really don't like my body right now.
i will see how this goes. Thursday is go day.
aside from that, it is a rainy, dark overcast day here and my motivation is a little lacking.
ok -- a lot lacking. i am curious to see who i get matched up with so i keep checking the website.
um, hello freak....
ok, out.

a house for two
so jared moved in over the last week.
house is somewhere between organized and complete chaos.
we are getting there. one room at a time.
kinda odd getting used to someone else around the house again, but i think overall this is a good fit.
will keep everyone posted on how the new "domesticity" is going.
what else?
went to omaha for a quick overnight vist. old boss was turning 40. probably would not have gone, but he married one of my old friends and she was throwing the party. good time. very surreal. saw a bunch of people i have not seen in like 6-7 years. and we all used to work in the restaurant together. so basically, we were a bunch of stupid 22/23 year olds, drinking till all hours of the evening and generally living some sort of soap opera lifestyle. so now, we have grown up a little. At least ostensibly, and have "adult" jobs. it was kinda strange to catch up with these people who used to sling burgers and beer and now are in a position much like mine and doing good things.
i dunno. maybe i was overreacting, but it was good anyway.
i should get used to it. i am going to my sorority 10 year anniversary in two weeks.
yes --- i said sorority. it seems odd. most people who meet me are a little taken aback by the revelation. but, it was a good thing. it was never my whole life, merely a part of it. but i would imagine it will be a similar type deal to the past weekend.
my brother called my parents this weekend. glad to hear he is doing well. at least as well as one can when you are involved in a war.
it has gotten to the point that every time i read/hear the news, my stomach drops. there is always a report of a military death. and you never know until you read where and what branch. with the increasing violence going on, i am not sure what will happen.
plus, the US is now banning certain publications and radio stations. um, did we displace one dictator so we could assume the mantel ourselves? i have this horrible feeling that things are going to continue to deteriorate. and i read today that the joint chiefs are going to ask for more troops to be sent over. all of this taking place WELL after our esteemed president declared the "major combat" over.
of course, now we are so tied into the area that even when bush is out of the office, we will be forced to maintain a presence there. vicious circle in which too many people are dying.

holy gorgeous day batman!
ok-
this is the first day in close to 6 months in which i walked out of the house this AM and really did not need the coat i was wearing.
gorgeous outside. so i walked outside to get lunch today.
this would be an ideal day to play hooky. however, i am working.
odd- me working. on a wednesday.
whatever.
have someone coming over tonight to look at the house. could be a good potential roomie. it is a guy... which i think is actually a good thing. super nice, a teacher and neither one of us would be around that often.
hope it works out. getting towards summer season and closer to julie's wedding. freeing up some funds each month would be a huge help.
what else? not too much. just trying to get the house cleaned up and in order. it kinda sucks because now i have the "vision" of what i want the rooms to be and it takes a little time and $$ but i want it done NOW!
baby steps. i will get there. just gets a little frustrating.
really can't concentrate on anything right now, so i am going to close this out.
later.

one woman UN
It was windy in the Windy City this weekend.
REALLY windy.
but a great weekend. Got hit on by a guy from the Cayman Islands, Scotland and Mexico.
i always have a good time in Chicago.
We stayed with a friend of a friend... but after this weekend, ms heather can consider him more than a friend of a friend. but this guy was a total gentleman. opened doors, took coats, pulled out chairs... a complete host.
but it was weird, i almost felt like it was over the top, when in reality he was just being polite. have we gotten so jaded and used to crap behavior from men that we think that anything that is normally polite is excessive?
but like i said, had a great time.
will be going back in May for a cubbies game. NOW that should be a blast.
found out some shocking news... and not so shocking news today.
matt & danielle have broken up. she is moving out. things just were never right once they moved in... i suspected as much. but apparently he had fallen out of love with her. ouch.
so kinda a weird situation. i guess we shall see how it all plays out.
more later.
