Uh, okay, I decided to just go ahead and call my doctor. I figured, if anyone else here posted something similar, I'd say -- Crazy, fool, CALL THE DOCTOR before the weekend starts!
So I have an appointment this afternoon, not with my regular doctor, but another doctor in the practice.
I've been lifting weights -- *light* ones, because come on, I'm a wimp -- for the past 4 weeks, and it's possible that I pinched a nerve or pulled a muscle, which led to clenchy protectiveness in my back, which makes sense from my spine's POV, but also causes pain to me, damn it.
So if my self-diagnosis is correct, hopefully all I would need is a muscle relaxant and large doses of anti-inflammatories.
Steph, I hope the pain goes away with a bit of rest and stays away.
My dad sent me the first girl to check out last night. Pretty much all I know is that she's an accountant, and I'm supposed to chat her up now.
There's not even a picture. I have NO SENSE OF HER AT ALL. What the hell do you say? "Hi! Our parents are thinking of marrying us off. Are you cool in any way?"
I...really don't want to do this.
Steph, freak out. I say that because I know I can't not. Of course, the key then become freaking out without being self-destructive. It helps to have someone's hand to hold, I guess. The room to be scared and worried without consigning yourself to permanent paralysis--that's the middle ground.

I am ALL about getting to know people without having a picture. I'd say your first two sentences are pretty on the money. Tell her stuff about you, ask her stuff about her. Forget the marriage for a second and just socialise in text.

Well, our work here was done before we even started!

PC, why not? Is it because this way of dating seems more likely to lead to marriage than other routes (and it's marriage you're not ready for, yet)?
Are you cool in any way?"
She might turn out to be cool. Do you email her or what? I guess you have two choices - tell her about yourself or ask about her, or both.
Don't you get a little resume about her? Can you send her the one that got vetoed by the parents?
How are you "checking her out", P-C? Online? Because you talk to people online all the time, you totally know how to do that. Don't worry about the whole marriage thing, just chat, maybe you will like each other, maybe you won't, just like anyone you'd meet.
In good news, I am wearing my new shoes today and they ROCK MY WORLD. Here is a glimpse of the awesometude: [link]
