Wasn't going to update today. But I got my ads out so damn it, why not?
Fellas, I have a question... why take a gal's phone number is you aren't planning on calling her? Why make direct eye contact, wave her over, have an hour-long engaging conversation, flirt your ass off, and then when she has to leave and goes to give you a kiss on the cheek, why do you turn and kiss her on the lips? Why bother trying to give her your phone number? So when she says "I'd rather give you mine" (boys are supposed to call first!) why do you grin and say "Ok!" and remark on what a cute name she has? WHY?
This is just a hypothetical.
NO! It's not!
Why is the first guy I've been instantly attracted to in a loooooong time torturing me so? I felt an immediate spark. I was sober. He seemed very sober as well. Maybe it's because his cousin was cock-blocking a bit. Or that we were at a country line-dancing bar. Or maybe he wasn't as in to me as I thought. But no! Fuck that! He was!
I was charming as all get out! I worked it. And now it's been 5 days. And nothing.
But this has happened before. And all of a sudden, two weeks later... he calls. Because they took that painful scene from Swingers to heart. So, hottie from Carrols... the jig is up.
But other than that, things are just ever-so-peachy keen. I had the most productive day EVER yesterday. I got 4 leads on freelance design jobs. I might be making some good cash at the Bears game on Sunday. I have a phone interview for some part-time work tonight. AND... anyone know where Harwood Heights is? I've never heard of it... but if all goes well next Friday out there, I might be making $17,000 more a year. $17,000! Holy shit! That would be huge! I might even be able to have a savings account!
My 2006 resolutions are coming to fruition! They were:
1. A better paying job
2. A new place to live
3. Losing 20 pounds
4. A steady and mature relationship with someone I adore.
The job market is great right now... H and I are planning to move to River West in May... The elliptical machine is coming next week... and Carroll's hottie might call... or not. But I still feel fantastic.
No pictures today. I have a ton I've not posted, but I kinda feel like keeping them to myself, thankyouverymuch! So, for your reading pleasure, I present:

Seeing my childhood best friend's shwang amid our park's pine trees. Playing 7 Minutes in Heaven in Steve Rossi's camper at age 8 and knocking teeth with said best friend when I got my first frencher. Spider swinging. Finding someone's Playboy in the park and hiding in the garage and ogling it. And that all happened in one day!

Highschool is NOT the be-all-end-all. Boys in college will find you attractive, I promise!

38. What is your dream job? Something where I can set my own hours and travel a bunch.
