As I approach 100 posts, I seem to be slowing down. Maybe it's life getting in the way or maybe I'm just getting boring and have nothing to talk about. On sunday I went with a good friend to see another friend. And although Jaimie no longer works at BG and we no longer see her for HPBN she is still in our hearts and minds. Seeing her at her new job was good if not slightly awkward and fun. Upon first entering the door we were asked if one of us was her boyfriend. Then later when we told her of this she responded in saying "Can it be a bad thing if they think you're my boyfriend?" She continued to say that she has no problem with others thinking that we are dating. Well girl, if it didn't sound creepy and awkward (My only saving grace here is that I did not say it, you did) I would totally take you up on fake dating you. Then at least I could tell people that I have a smart, kind, and attractive girlfriend. But alas, life is not that way. It was good to see and catch up with her. Although we only had one class together, the bonds of HPBN are not easily broken. I was depressed however to learn that her real boyfriend has not visited her at her new job, and constantly makes fun of her still being a waitress even now with a college degree. That makes me sad, she is a great person, and even if it is just in jest, he should support her (And yes it is there for those of you laughing to yourself that I am writing with an undertone of a discreet admiration and maybe even a bit of a childhood crush. Jaimie, if you read this, its true, I think you rock and have totally made my list of "potentially datable people" (see Son of a... for reference) so please take that as a complement).
Moving on to another woman in my life, recently I was tagged in a note that mused about the future, love, life and fairy tale endings. It happens to have been written by a person I have discussed here before and for reference goes back to the "sleep sweet" quote. Now, with my past work in folklore, I could not help but comment about the snow-ball like qualities of such stories and the particular nature of their collaborative construction and eternal modernization. But aside from my own personal nerdynesses I have but to wonder why I was one of like two guys tagged in the note, the other one of which she has had a monster crush on in the past. Oh well, to cut a long winded story short, fairy tales do exist, if you intentionally neglect to mention about 50% of the content of your life... and doctor up the rest to be more magical... you can always use fairy dust... always.
Moving on to another woman in my life (this post is named for them, geez what did you expect) this weekend I'll be down visiting my old friend... and maybe my best friend. She is busy but has cleared a day for me, so that is exciting, but I hope I don't end up wasting her time. We had a falling out some time ago, but since have been trying to put things back together. It is going well, its rough at times, but its making positive headway which is always good.
And that's about it for now, sorry Jaimie for the pseudonym, but I figured what better way to reference you than the way you chose to here. And no post of mine would be complete without a reference to games, so, have at you!.. and please do it proper justice and just let it play... and the next track... and the next...
