Why Romance Novels and Chick Flicks End When They Get Together
Because an actual relationship is boring to read about! Ha.
I have gotten a few nudges from my long lost LJ friends recently (thank you!) and figured I should check in. To alleviate any suspense, the Looker and I still together on pretty much the same terms we agreed on when he became my boyfriend last year, which is that I go to his place ( Read more... ) -
Meet the Parents and Our Song
So I went to South Carolina with the Looker for Thanksgiving. After the dramz/non-event of my invitation to the family Thanksgiving, I was kind of let down. But then, as is typical for the Looker, once he has agreed to do something out of his comfort zone and has a little while to get used to the idea he starts to get excited about it. I was a ( Read more... ) -
Making Milestones out of Molehills
I'm sure I've written in the past about my Judge's annual reunion dinner. Every year all his past clerks (22 years' worth now!) are invited to gather together to catch up with each other and check in with the Judge. It's a really nice thing to do every year, and it's awesome to have the opportunity to maintain our connection to the Judge. It ( Read more... ) -
The Looker in España
Sorry for not providing any updates!
Things have been going really well with The Looker. I was concerned that he had agreed to be my boyfriend only to get back together and stop the hurting of breaking up, but I decided to give it a shot. Well, I guess he just needed a nudge because since then he has been all in and hasn't looked back. He is ( Read more... ) -
Guess Who Has a Boyfriend?
That would be ME. Can you believe it?
So I met up with the Looker on Friday with extreme skepticism and pessimism. I thought there was pretty much a zero percent chance we were getting back together. I even went home in between the gym and meeting up with him to grab his little bag of toiletries I was so annoyed with myself for forgetting when I ( Read more... ) -
The Ghosts of Douchebags Past
So to add some levity to my past two posts, here is something amusing for you.
Several weeks ago I went with the Looker to his farmer's market, the home of the Pork Chop Guy. One of the stands is a berry farm and I was seeing all these people walk through the farmer's market with these long boxes of three quarts of strawberries side by side and I ( Read more... ) -
oh, eff me
So I got an email from the Looker. When he asked if we could be friends, I asked him not to contact me for a couple of weeks, but maybe after that. I also said, "If you ever find yourself with more to offer, I will be thrilled to hear from you."
Today he writes:
Subject: oh, eff it.
Would you have any interest in meeting tonight on neutral ground to ( Read more... ) -
The Mirror Crack'd, or It's Over With The Looker
So two weekends ago I actually had a great time with the Looker and was feeling happy and optimistic. We went to a nice dinner, had drinks at a restaurant I like (Coppi's) and he was like, "We should come here sometime." The next day he took me to lunch at a yummy Israeli restaurant.
He said things that I read as an indication of a future.
Me: ( Read more... ) -
Another Weekend with The Looker
Two weekends ago I went to NYC. I came home very late Saturday night, but was home nevertheless. He had been traveling for work (and had to do it again last week), but was home nevertheless. Despite my suggestion that we get together on Sunday, we didn't see each other last weekend. I was already unpleased with him because I had emailed him ( Read more... ) -
Some Sweet and Some Awkward Moments with The Looker
So the Looker didn't respond to my brunch non-invitation with an unequivocal no, which surprised me. It was certainly not yes (and to spare you the suspense he did not attend), but I think he is softening up a little. He said he'd probably have to work and would need to stay close to home, but appreciated the invitation. Then he asked me out for ( Read more... )
