So after the whole Matt debacle, I thought, "screw this, I'm going to post my own ad and answer more ads and just meet people and have fun!" And that's exactly what I'm doing here lately. Last night I had drinks with Todd (27, environmental engineer). Tomorrow I have lunch with Scott (26, something governmental and nuclear-related). And I'm in the midst of scheduling coffee or somesuch next week with Alex (23, theology student). This could be fun! I feel like I click particularly well with Alex over e-mail, but I'm not putting all my eggs in one proverbial basket. If I meet someone and it becomes serious, great, but I'm not making that an immediate goal. It's all about not expecting too much.

Into love and out again,
Thus I went and thus I go.
Spare your voice, and hold your pen:
Well and bitterly I know
All the songs were ever sung,
All the words were ever said;
Could it be, when I was young,
Someone dropped me on my head?
-Dorothy Parker
