It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

sarameg, congratulations on new job!!!! Is it at the same institution or someplace completely new?

I am off this week having Vacation at Home and, so far, I've been accomplishing very little due to being hung over from birthday-related partying. Plus I've had a sore throat since Sat. night. And today my ear is hurting me too. Internet, what would your diagnosis be? Could I have an ear infection?

I did take my dog to get groomed though and have purchased fall plants for my porch. Now to try to plant them...

Uhm, it went great. She asked me out, which took a whole lot of pressure off of me. (I was planning to ask her out, but she moved faster than I did).

I was calm throughout the whole date. We talked about ourselves, we have a whole lot in common; I talked about b.org and she seemed to get it. She mentioned she liked to watch Dark Angel for the eye-candy, and I told her I understood completely.

It all went perfectly until the end of the date, when I tried to get a little more emotional, and then the whole fight-or-flight response kicked in.

That sounds like a pretty damn good first date to me (though it's been a long time since I had one).
