The grand debut

Shocking, I've actually gone a few weeks without posting anything, how very not like me.

Let's see, I had a moment where I totally went off the deep end and realized I was losing my mind. It's so embarrassing that I couldn't even write about it here. Yikes. But alas, since that moment I've tried to remain cool, calm and collective. For the most part it has worked and things have become a little easier.

So what's the latest update... D. has been dating some guy, gone out a number of times. I'm sure he's nice, but he's definitely NOT cuter than I am. Aren't you supposed to continue to move up in the world?

I too have started dating someone new as of late. She's someone that I have known for a while, we even had a very brief fling before I met D. However, she had dated a friend of mine, so we decided to not even go down that road at the time. After D. and I broke up, I hung out with her a few times, it was a nice distraction. We lived in the same neighborhood, so it was pretty easy to hang out. I never seriously considered dating her for a number of reasons, naturally because of where I was coming from and because she's a fun girl to hang out with and get drunk with, but didn't think she'd be someone that I would actually want to "date".

After hanging out a few times, the topic was yet again brought up of us dating. I decided that I should at least give it a shot, so we agreed to see what happened. I've gotten to see a side of her that I didn't really know outside of late night escapades in bars and bedrooms with her in the past, and I'm actually growing quite fond of her. We've gone out on a few "dates" of late and we've had a great time together. I wasn't really expecting I'd feel this way, but it's been a pleasant surprise.

And now all of my friends will meet her as she's agreed to come to the Sunday Memorial BBQ on Carroll St with me. GULP.
