At Curi's suggestion, I'm updating my journal.
Well, let's see.
1. I've tiled my kitchen floor. My profile pic (of my dog) is no longer an accurate representation of what I've got going on there.
2. Henry is actually very jealous right now. My girlfriend brought over her baby puppy last night and he doesn't really know how to deal.
3. I have to go...

Go kitchen!
So I spent much of the long weekend starting my kitchen renovation. I ordered new countertops, and a new stove, and spent all of yesterday removing tiles and weird boxy things, and painting, painting, and more painting. Soon there will be new floors. Then you can all come over for fancy dinner.

a) Thanks.
b) Anthropology and this horrible, HORRIBLE required class where we have to work in groups on graph reading and MS Excel and Powerpoint. I have a case of the stabbies.

I've been dating this guy for 3 or 4 weeks, and we already had The Talk, and established that he is my boyfriend. I don't really want to date anyone else, and I was kinda under the impression that he didn't either. Now I don't know what my impression is.
I'm a bit cursed because my parents started dating when they were 16 and have been married for 30 years now (and are still sickeningly happy with each other). So I'm overeager to fall in love, I guess.
You should update your journal so all of the comments aren't by me, by the way.

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen:
CBS News Poll. Oct. 3-5, 2005. N=808 adults nationwide. MoE 4 (for all adults).
"Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?"
Approve Disapprove Unsure
ALL adults 37 58 5
Republicans 79 13 8
Democrats 14 84 2
Independents 29 64 7

I mean 37%?!
Apparently it...

In continuation of my last entry (and maybe_smashing's comment), I refer you to Bush's overall trend over the last 4 1/2 years, as produced by dr. pollkatz's webpage.
Without a terrorist threat or Saddam Hussein, his numbers are in free-fall. Oddly, it was only the 5 minutes surrounding Nov. 2 where his numbers actually went _up_!

Unshrink you? Well that would require some sort of a Rebigulator which is a concept so ridiculous it makes me want to laugh out loud and chortle... but aaahh, but not at you O holiest of Gods with the wrathfulness and the vengeance and the bloodrain and the 'hey hey hey it hurts me'.

too bad this shit didn't happen last year so we could've effectively booted that fucker's ass out of office, eh?

So I've gone on God-only-knows how many first dates in the last few months, and with almost no exceptions, I haven't asked for a second. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't feeling like the girls were desperate to see me again, though they would probably have been amenable. I just haven't felt the vibe at all.

You know, everybody has that one person (or maybe 2) who, no matter how many relationships they have afterwards, they simply cannot see without getting all wistful.
I ran into L this morning for something like the 4th time since we broke up (about a year ago). And, I tell you, it just doesn't get any easier.

And how did that go? I'm still dreading the make up period I need to go on with my ex. Haven't seen her or her family in about a year or so but they wanna see me and I know I should see them otherwise I'm just being an ass. But I just know there's gonna be that haven't seen you in long time speech coming. The "what're you doing with your life" speech. And then the will inevitably Begin to judge you based upon your response.
frinky:
Not bad, not great. I've seen her a few times in the last year. It helps that the couple of times I've run into her she was with her gay friends. I mean, do I really need to see her with a new dude? Well, and the fact that there _is_ no new dude.
Yeah! My dog, Henry, was selected as dogster's "dog of the day"! Isn't he a cutie?
Well, rather than repeating myself, I'll direct all interested parties to the "You've GOT to be fucking kidding me" thread on "Dating sucks." Now I'm furious, it's the middle of the night, and all of my friends are asleep.
So how are you?
So how are you?
rude_ruca:
Well, we all seem to be in the same smelly OLD shitty boat, now don't we? I read what you wrote. What a slime she was/is. Be mad. Seriously, FEEL that, and then, in a week, come to terms with the fact that A. you are the better man for ending something that was on a downward spiral. And I should point out that you ended it BEFORE finding what you werent getting in someone else's arms. Oh, and secondly, that this is just another lesson learned and hey, you are in philly! There are LOADS of rad chicks, im sure just waiting to adorn you with their affections. Oh, and please read what I wrote Titled "Last NIght" in our common area os dating sucks!
Well, I can't imagine that anyone on this site actually reads the journal entries of the dudes, but, if you happened to stumble across this one, I figured I'd give you a "howdy."
