Tired of Cliches

So scratch what I said about 'S.' Not quite the guy that I cracked him up to be. Well, that's not entirely true. He is all of the things I said, but with a twist. Since last I mentioned him, we had planned to get together again for some yet to be arranged fun. We talked when he arrived home from his trip to NYC and began discussing what we might do. Somewhere in the context of our conversation, he mentioned some things that he intended to "do" to me. I was a little taken aback at this because we had only been out once prior to this and I don't tend to date boys who think getting into a girl's pants is their first priority. Then, 'S' informed me that if I didn't "return the favor" by going down on him the next time I saw him, that he would refuse to go out with me again. Let me repeat that. 'S,' the guy I thought I wasn't good enough for, demanded I go down on him in some random public place or I would indefinitely risk the possibility of a relationship. Needless to say, he got the boot. Please do not ever presume to tell me what I will or will not do to you, for you or with you. You will be disappointed every time. I do not take orders and I will not be someone's personal whore. A resounding "ugh" now accompanies the mention of 'S.'

I met up with 'A' the other nite. I think I discussed him briefly in this thing in an earlier entry. Things went really well until the very end of the date when he got all neurotic on me and started whining to me that I didn't say enough "nice things" to him throughout our evening. Apparently because I wasn't falling all over myself and because I was exhausted after working for fourteen hours demonstrated my blatant disinterest in pursuing anything with him. Which was totally untrue because I would like to see where things may lead, but that weirdness kind of threw me for a loop and we parted with what I think was a mutually awkward feeling. He's yet to respond to an e-mail that I sent, but he's in Denver this weekend moving some more of his stuff here, so we'll see. I'm the only person he knows here, so I'm kinda thinking he'll get back to me, but given my recent luck with guys being considerably different than I expect, lord only knows what might really happen...

Other arenas of my life are relatively well, but things can always be better. If you're reading this, please pray for my Stefan and his girlfriend, Stephanie, on July 2. They'll both be undergoing transplant surgery for his much needed kidney.

Love, love, love
