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.

Wow, watching old Friends episodes is so strange. Watching Ross moon over Rachel while knowing the whole time that they almost sleep with each other out of pity in this season’s opener, or Chandler and Monica quipping at each other. And this bit… “She said she’s looking for a relationship with someone just like me.” “She did?” “Well, i added the ‘someone just like me’ part.” … err, and also a bit eery. Shades of real life… well … ugh, that’s a whole other post entirely. Stay tuned.
