time is(n't) on my side.

so you may remember reading that i broke up with my boyfriend a while back. i really didn't plan on meeting anyone new and i was planning on just being single for a while and maybe dating a little. well very shortly after we broke up, i met a guy and we hung out a few times and had a lot of fun together. we've been dating since and we see each other every day. i really like him and my feelings are just getting stronger the better i get to know him. i don't want to move too fast and i'm a little worried that it's not healthy for me to get out of such a long, serious relationship and jump right back into a new one. i'm not sure what to do. i really like him and i can see this going somewhere, and i don't think i should just back out of it because the timing is right. if there's anything i learned this semester, it's that things don't go according to our plans and you have to roll with the punches. if you have any comments i'd love some feedback or advice.
on another note, the old boyfriend called me yesterday. he wanted to know if he could come over and use my cell phone because his wallet and phone were stolen on thursday and he needed to call and cancel his credit cards and stuff.... that sucks big time. i feel bad for him. but i'm still glad we broke up.

for nikki

so my blog is in response to nikki's. my life is lame right now so i'll use my blog to respond to your situation. that's totally understandable that you are what some may call a 'relationship-phobe.' i think that we are influence a lot by our experiences growing up, and while you had friend's parents to fill in where yours were lacking, you were definitely exposed to an unhealthy relationship. no one wants to end up in a bad relationship or get divorced, so naturally we all try to stear away from something when it gives us an uncomfortable feeling. i'm glad that you realize that we can't change people; a lot of us (myself included) stay with people and think that they can change the things we don't like about the other person. i was with willie for over 3 years and i always told myself that the things that bugged me about our relationship would change. well, that's not fair to either person. you can't change people and you shouldn't anyway. why should i change for anyone or vice-versa? so i get the part about ending it when you realize there are things you don't like about the other person. on the other hand, that's how we grow. if i wasn't around someone who did things that bugged me or that i wasn't sure about i would be pretty sheltered. the thing that i really didn't like about willie was all the time i wasted waiting for him. he was always late. well, i hated that, but it really made me stop and smell the flowers now and again, because i am anally on time for everything. well i guess that's not a good example since we broke up, but i guess i'm trying to say that you have to give people a chance even if there's stuff you don't like about them; it can be good for both of you and you may realize that the things you do like about them outway the things you don't like about them. another thing to keep in mind: we all have a certain taste in guys/girls. we are generally attracted to the same types of people. well, isn't that kind of funny since those relationships didn't work out in the past? it can't hurt to be open people that you didn't expect to be attracted to. you never know i guess.

i'm going to start you on fire.

i have been having the greatest weekends lately. i really didn't think anything could top the city bus episode from 2 weeks ago, but i've got a close second. it started friday: another bus episode. this part wasn't really fun, but pretty entertaining. so i'm on my way home on the bus and i'm sitting by some unique individuals on the back of the bus. this lady is kind of fighting with some random guy and they are just talking crazy at each other. then the lady decided to talk crazy at me and told me that "her people could beat me up." i just sat there and pretended not to hear her. then she told me that she was going to "set my ass on fire." what kind of a threat is that? who starts someone on fire? anyway, that was my most interesting experience on friday. on saturday my roommate and i went grocery shopping. we went to metcalfe's connected to the hilldale mall. that was a very classy establishment, let me tell you. they had a ginormous dessert showcase; i got a giant chocolate rod thinger. delicious. so that put us in a good mood, and then we met a lady who was giving out wine samples. she was so fun! we sat and talked with her for half an hour and drank free wine! who would have guessed that i'd leave the grocery store with a buzz. anyway, we went home and i took an ideal nap..... you know, one of those perfect saturday afternoon naps where you have the whole day to waste laying in bed. after that, we made dinner. we made twice baked potatoes, asparagus and steak with gorgonzola cheese and sauteed mushrooms. it was soooo good!! i have to say, i had way more fun just hanging out around the house, unshowered and wearing sweatpants than i did going out the night before! i think we all need one of those chill-out, low maintenence days to get our ducks back in a row.
