AUTHOR: tbooty DATE: 11/28/2004 01:01:00 PM ----- BODY: if you can't tell by the title of this entry, the "date" with the fireman didn't go well. in fact, it didn't go at all. that's not to say that I didn't go. that's to say that HE didn't show. at all. i don't get it. i don't get WHY a guy would go to trouble of saying all the things he said and then NOT show up. at least when we didn't connect on monday i got an email that nite with an apology (of sorts) and an explanation (also of sorts). this time? NOTHING. no phone call. no email. no instant message. NADA. ZILCH. and of course, ZIP. i'm beginning to think that my guy "picker" is fundamentally broken. or i'm losing my touch. neither of which is a fun thought. and of course, now the "i want a boyfriend itch" is in full swing since the holidays are officially under way now. if all of this wasn't bad enough? before i left to meet the "phantom" date on friday nite? one of my best friends called to tell me she and her bf had gotten engaged the day before. now i am totally THRILLED for her. but for me? it just depresses me more than i already am, as far as my own love life goes. (watch out. i feel a pity party coming on.) before this becomes a "poor me" post where i wallow in the futility that my love life has become, i think i'll end here. besides, the seahawks game is about to start and i have a few things to do before kick off. hope you all had a fabulous thanksgiving (as i did) and were able to share it with your friends and loved ones. --------
