It strikes again! The label I've been stuck with, and can do nothing about, spewed forth from the mouth of one of my co-workers today. But first, a bit of background before the spewing.
So, who remembers Steph, the girl I was seeing around the October-November timeframe last year? The one I asked about starting a exclusive relationship with, only to be turned down? If needed for reminders or reference, please see entries Beginning through End. Well, as it turns out, my only female co-worker knows who she is.
Insert Zack Morris-styled "Time-out!"
How the hell is it possible that everyone I know, knows someone else I'm connected to? I thought living in the Boston area would break that whole spider-web of connections thing, but no, life really is like MySpace.
Insert Zack Morris-styled "Time-in!"
She actually had a suspicion I knew the same girl, but didn't say anything about it until her name popped up in our usual "time-wasting until there are customers" conversation today. I mentioned that I had been seeing her last year, and she turned down my request for exclusivity. She wasn't too surprised about it, because Steph isn't, or at least wasn't looking for that type of relationship. Steph has a boyfriend now (I already knew about it, so no shock there), but everybody dislikes him, except, of course, Steph. I decided to inquire into why she would choose to date a complete tool when she can have to whole package with, duh, me.
Then, it happened.
Yeah, the spewing thing.
Words, not chunks, mind you.
She simply stated the words that are now becoming synonymous with the my name.
You.
Are.
Too.
Nice.
But, of course, keep in mind that "It's not a bad thing. It's actually a very good thing!" as that was her exact reply to my facial expression of complete disgust. "There aren't many girls at our age who are looking for what you have to offer, but eventually you'll meet a girl who's looking for a guy like you." she informed me. Blah, blah, blah... Screw that noise, I've heard it enough.
As a consolation, she then admitted that she "would be flirting with me if she wasn't already involved.". A slight compliment after a criticism, disguised as a compliment, doesn't even things out I'm afraid.
I can't change who I am, and nor do I want to. I just felt like sharing this situation with everyone. I don't expect any life-altering and/or insightful replies, but as usual, they are appreciated.

Boy Meets World may be one of the greatest TV shows ever created. Comedy mixed in with real-life issues affecting teens I could relate to a few years ago? Can't lose with that combo.

If you are...how are you today??^^
Hopefully she'll come visit more often now that I showed her how awesome Boston is this weekend... (well, except for the bike accident).
I have two friends visiting next weekend. My sister's best friend Sean, and his ex-gf Jess (who is also my sister's arch-enemy). How messed up is that? I'm gonna be taking them to ManRay Friday, and hopefully Saturday too! (Provided they don't mind going two days in a row, lol).
I plan on going to Ceremony more often too. Even though I was only there for like, 45 minutes, it was still a lot of fun. And there is a girl I met at ManRay last week who goes there too...I have her phone number but I'm way too shy to actually call her.
