spent a pleasant enough evening back at the pub (oy, no more pub!) playing music bingo with m&m. we also exchanged gifts, although meghan wouldn’t let me open mine and didn’t want to open hers. what fun is that? well, at least i’ll have more things to open when i come home from the island.
mark LOVEDLOVEDLOVED his gift, as i was pretty sure he would. i made him open it and everyone was glad i did. i got him these very cool road rage cards (many thanks to tanya for linking them and inspiring me). at one point he held up the “YOUR MUSIC SUCKS” card to the really great lady hosting the bingo. she loved it and it started off our back and forth banter with her for the rest of the night.
just about the time i was about to head out, mr. nelson finally showed up to deliver the unexpected and undeserved gift he had for me. we spent a little time chatting before i turned into a pumpkin. he’s a sweet guy, that nelson. even if he wouldn’t give me his very spiffy camera bag or his even more spiffy zoom lens.
of course, because it’s the holidays, i’m sick. i’m seriously considering a tracheotomy so that i don’t have to suffer the pain involved with air passing through my nose and throat. i should consider investing in a humidifier now that i have a bedroom door to close. i guess i’ll put that on my list for next year.
there was this guy at the pub both saturday and last night. phil, aka rocker guy. it was pretty plain that m&m were trying a mild form of hook up with us. he seems nice enough, but i think i’m way too picky. is it so wrong to not want to settle for less than what you really want? even if what you want could be completely unattainable? is it better to be alone than to be with the wrong person?
again, my prevailing xmas wish list item is really someone to kiss at midnight on new year’s eve. one day it’ll come true. i hope.
is it better to be alone than to be with the wrong person?
Good lord – YES a thousand times YES.
On the flip side- maybe give the guy a chance – get to know him a little better before he’s ruled out as not right for you? Or maybe you have already and have reached your conclusion. If so, then up and onward!
And as far as your NYE kiss – the great thing about NYE is that you’re given full liscence to kiss EVERYONE if you want to – so go to a place where there are lots of boys! ;)
What pub is it that you keep referring to? When my ex lived on St Mary’s Ave (top of Londsdale) we’d often go to the Queens Cross. Boy that was a long time ago – about 15 years ago! dang I’m old (and will shut up now).
Agreed a thousand and one times YES. It is.
“is it so wrong to not want to settle for less than what you really want? even if what you want could be completely unattainable? is it better to be alone than to be with the wrong person?”
Yes, it is wrong, evil, and totally unfair to the rest of humanity. But, its a part of our brains that has no “off” switch… so, hence, I am evil as well. And we should all hate ourselves for it.
I wasn’t initially attracted to my exgf but she “got me” and was sweet as could be. Affection does lead to attraction… and you really should hold out judgement until you can see someone completely naked. ;-)
that, and give the person a chance to impress you. :) Sometimes first impressions aren’t very reliable :)
