This is so disturbing. I think that weddings just disturb me because they involve so much money and are so me-focused for the Bride and Groom. As egotistical as i am, me-focused events always scare the living daylights out of me, as i would just rather occasionally steal the spotlight and then cooly return it to its owner. But, anyway, the fact that you can plan a wedding online scares the crap out of me. Sure, in terms of registering for gifts and things of that nature it’s fine, but otherwise it’s a bit creepy. Don’t you think so?
Oh, yes, back to flirting. So, as you may have heard from me, i am currently a vegetarian in the process of falling off the wagon. I was never vehemently vegetarian, just doing it for a new kind of variety, and now i’ve decided i am ready to go back to chicken. She loves chicken sandwhiches from a takeout place a few blocks from here. I’m going to ask her if she’d like to get a late lunch, my treat. It won’t be a date, but it’s practically like offering her my virginity. err… I mean,… i don’t eat meat with just anyone…
So, okay, in the most passive agressive move of all, i can safely flirt with anyone i want from my actual life from the saftey of my blogger because i know that none of them ever go to my website without a lot of begging and pleading involved. But, why waste time flirting with someone who you’ve been flirting with for over a year, who plain isn’t interested, and who you want to be friends with anyway? I’m not sure… we’ve had some moments, and i am the type to just take a moment and twist it around in my head and turn it into us getting married and moving to England. I shouldn’t have to start all over finding someone new to get to like…
Anyhow… so, if my life’s teevee version is going anything like it would be if it was a Must-See sitcom, the girl would be chasing me now. Because… because i’ve been playing “Ross” my whole life (except for never having a pet monkey) (yet), and every girl has been “Rachel,” and eventually one of them has to turn around and notice me after i think that hope is gone. Except.. that sorta requires me to move on in an adult-like fashion, which i’m not so wonderful at doing. Of course, Ross had a crush on Rachel for about a decade. So, i’ve got nine years left, at least. And i’m set for the wait.
