sometimes the lights all shining on me, other times I can barely see

Life is chugging along at very consistent pace, as life is wont to do. It thinks it can, it thinks it can, and lately it does.
I've been seeing this girl, lets give her a cute nickname since that is what everybody with a blog does for thier significant others, and I'm nothing if not completely derivative. Completely derivative.
And, so, I've been dating this girl, lets call her Wonder Twin (she is a twin, and so far, wonderful) for a little more than a month now. I'm still not ready for a girlfriend but I can dig whatever we've got going on.
This is the first time I'm dating someone I didn't know extensively before dating them, and if this is what every such relationship is like, I'm not sure what the hell all you people have been bitching about for all this time. Bunch of fucking whiners, you are.
Things are going very well. We've had a couple of the bumps, but have so far worked them all out. She is totally Queens Italian, loud and forward and won't let me get away with shit.
She emailed me on Tuesday about some plans for Saturday night. I'm not traditionally masculine and commitment phobic; I'd planned on being married with fruit of my loins by now. But so I still felt weird and a little skittish at the idea someone was planning my Saturday nights for me.
Yes, you guessed right, I never got back to her. And yes, you are right, that is a very Daniel Cleaver thing to do.
Well, of course WT called me up last night (form of - pissed off girlfriend!) and called me out on it. And well, of course I lied and said I just hadn't gotten around to calling back.
So, yes, I guess she let me get away with that, which is actually what I really need right now. Someone who has the serenity to let me get away with some shit, the courage to call me out and not me get away with other shit, and the wisdom to know which shit is which.

Wonder Twin is a stupid nickname.

Sorry Tom, I guess I've been spending too much time leaving my apartment, instead of drinking alone, watching wrestling and comming up with nicknames for people.

That's a lot of shit.

Jerk. Some friend you are, mg. You didnt even mention "downloading Kelly Clarkson mp3's on Kazaa," "sitting in the corner sobbing," and "replying to spam email in hopes of meeting a friend." C'mon, I have a variety of interests. Oh, by the way, you cant even spell "comming" correctly. Loser!

Yeah, I'd meant to make some sort of snarky comment about how I used the word "shit" entirely too many times in this post. But I was too lazy, and shit.

At this point in time I'd go out with anybody on a Saturday night. I feel like I'm in a committed relationship with my PS2.
Speaking of neglect, I should work on my blog or become a full-time lurker on other peoples’.

yes, it's great dating strangers. then sometimes they weasel their way into your affections before you find out they are the kind of people that would drop acid all weekend at a music festival and neglect to sleep and eat. but thankfully, by the time you saw them in this state, you had already broken it off with them, reaffirming that you have killer instinct.
what?? just a hypothetical. shit.

Just sos ya'll wont think I'm in some sort of perfect relationship, we managed to break up twice this weekend. Of course, we also got back together twice. And then I found a dollar.

Can I have the dollar?

Eviltom, that has to be the funniest thing you've ever said ever.
