Oh, well, maybe the date can be like an interview for a job you're kind of "meh" about. Good practice and all that.

This is exactly the conclusion I came to after hitting the post button. a) drought broken, yay b) serious and kind can make for a good friend c) hey, a DATE

Nicole, bless you in every way possible. It's wicked hard, I know...but from what I understand, the hell is paid off handsomely when you get to the other side. Much easing of suffering ma to you.

thanks for the ~ma. I'm sure gonna need it.

Review~ma to you, Nora!

tonight's the big 'first date in three years'

Yay! And good luck, Beej. Try to just have a fun time and enjoy yourself. No pressure.

I made the mistake of using my mad research skillz to uncover intel on the fella

Hardly a mistake. What if he'd had some kind of shady past? Now you know that he *probably* isn't an ax murderer. Or at least that he's been smart enough not to get caught.

Chuckle.

Yup. No evidence of ax murderishness and pulenty of evidence of wicked smart.

Although it was wearing me out, that flighty, dreamy imagination-gone-wild fantisizing about what he might be like is sorely missed. Reality weighs more and doesn't give me that twittery, smile for no reason bump.

God. I love the love drug.

I didn't get called into work today, which means I am not working at all this week. However, I still have to go down there and find out about next week's non schedule because they won't give it to me over the phone (store policy). So much for saving for the F2F and moving.

Remember Buffy's lesson in NKaBoaFD. No Morgues, No Slaying. That's second date, or later.

So what you're saying is that you're so intent on attending the F2F that you'll be putting off moving for a while...?

Unless he really *is* a vampire. I mean, it would be wrong to say No Slaying when you could very well find yourself in a situation where someone needed slaying.

Or it could just be a normal date...

I haven't had a cigarette since Sunday night. My entire body hurts, I've had an ongoing headache since Monday afternoon, I have NO energy and I can't concentrate for shit.

Go you! Don't give up now!

Review~ma, Nora!

mememe = tonight's the big 'first date in three years'.

Date~ma, Beej!

So what you're saying is that you're so intent on attending the F2F that you'll be putting off moving for a while...?

What I am saying is that I am going to have to get very, very creative finance wise to make them both happen.

How are prospects looking for another job in your neck of the woods?
