Let me first start off by saying to all of you hailing from LA area. I hope you are all surviving the madness down there fire wise. My thoughts are with you.

For those of you playing along at home, you may remember that yesterday I was scheduled to go to the last day of Outside Lands Music festival in SF thanks to a birthday present from "the girl". I did, but for various reasons we got in pretty late and left before the final act. Also, a friend of hers joined us for the duration. Needless to say, the day wasn't exactly what I had imagined it was going to be. It could have totally sucked when you factored in the classic Bay Area foggy/freezing summer weather that had brought an abrupt end to the heatwave we had been having up until then. None-the-less, I had a great time. Modest Mouse was good fun, and M.I.A. killed on the main stage, and "she" and I always seem to have a blast.

After a good day of joking, snuggling, flirting generally, and making plans for three other "dates" in the next two weeks she asks me for advice about this guy she is dating. "I really think this guy could be the one". That was about five minutes before we got to her car, and she gave me back my hoodie which she had been wearing all day. Of which she had said earlier: "It's like I'm wearing your letterman jacket." This coming from a former High School andCollege cheerleader. Mixed messages much? FML.

Seriously, I know this is incredibly trivial compared to other things going on in the world, and with my friends right now, but it was definitely a bit of a shock to hear about this new guy that she is so serious about. I really have no idea how I ended up in the "friendzone" this time. So, at the risk of repeating myself, FML.

Cheers All
