Haha, congrats, Tofu! I think Maisie and I each got our Legend status by making a post about how we should be legends by now...

We had the option to take work off for Good Friday. But being the lapsed Catholic that I am, I said I will come in for the whole day. To be honest, we were such laid back Catholics growing up, Im not even sure what I'm supposed to do on Good Friday! haha!

I think it's something about being quiet for a few hours in the afternoon...too bad I'm taking a dance class tomorrow afternoon. Oops!

Congratulations to everyone on their Legend status...I got mine embarrassingly quickly.

Welcome back, Maisie! I'm so glad you had fun, but sorry it was cold! Which Rock of Love episode are you watching? Bret and I are fighting because he's now stuck with the TWO WORST POSSIBLE GIRLS.

Yeah...I went to Catholic school and I have no idea what's supposed to happen on Good Friday. Actually, I'm going barhopping and getting sloshed into the wee hours of Easter morning, so I doubt I'm a good authority on the subject anyway.

I'm guessing you go to Mass on Good Friday?? But, hey, what do I know. I'm the non-Catholic in my family.

Spent the day on the beach - it has been absolutely beautiful here. And after bringing my kids here for the past 8 or 9 years, they are finally old enough that if they get bored at the pool, they can just walk home by themselves. Hurray!!

I am completely zen....

Girls, I'm generally not one to complain but I have to say: why do nice girls always finish last???

VERY long story short, I met a guy Friday and we really hit it off, but he just got out of a dysfunctional relationship. I was basically counseling him all night about how not all women are evil. So, he came to the conclusion that yes, I was a nice girl, and like a nice girl, I proceeded to make out with him. Heh, heh. So, he asks me to dinner on Sunday. We went...talked a lot more (no making out...boo!). But we had a great time.

So, I invited him to go out to a show w/ a friend and I last night...he was going to get back to me..and surprise, surprise, never did. And I am now thinking he has no intention of calling me. Just things he said on Sunday hint that he'd rather wallow in the ex than hang out with someone who is laid-back, fun, and cool (that would be me). Oh, and I should mention that he's 43, I'm 38 and the ex-gf is 25! So yeah, young crazy girls is where it's at!

Anyway, it may be too soon to tell; just a gut feeling that I won't hear from him again. Dating sucks.

Ugh, newgirl, that is incredibly awkward. I've never had something like that happen to me (...yet). But I wouldn't dismiss the guy as a jerk. He's probably worried that he feels really attached to you already and doesn't want to be let down again. Gurgh, stupid guys...

I just came back from touring University of Richmond. I loved the place, and academically and aesthetically it seemed fantastic, but I'm not sure I'd fit in there. Everyone seemed nice, but they also seemed SUPER-preppy and very rich. I'd probably feel weird and left out...

[justagirl2]

Posted: 4/9/09 at 7:52pm

newgirl, I'm sorry! I'd agree that he's probably afraid of getting too attached after what just happened to him...and, in a nice guy twist of events, he might not want to think of you as a rebound. Either way, I'd blame it on timing more than anything. You're so right though, dating COMPLETELY sucks. I avoid it if I can!

I will never understand guys' propensity to dwell on crazy chicks. In fact, there is one guy I've been..."hanging out with" (keeping it clean for the youngn's) for 6 months or so, and he always tells me how grateful he is that I'm not completely insane, and that I'm so laid-back. When we met, he had just gotten out of a relationship with a psycho, and apparently I was a complete 180 from her. Guess who just came back, crazy eyes and all, into his life? Now he's "smitten" and "so lucky" that they're talking again, and I'm on the backburner. Granted, I never expected this to actually become a relationship, but I DID like keeping him around, because he's...um...talented.

Schmerg, I ended up at an extremely preppy school, and I, much like you, don't identify with that crowd very much at all. Honestly, I had a miserable first year because I didn't think there was anyone on the whole campus who didn't pop their collars. One by one, though, I found friends that felt a lot like I did, and I've met some really amazing people (my best friend in the entire world, for example. I'm pretty sure she's my soulmate, and I've only known her for 2 years!). I think our hatred of the rest of the student body actually brought us even closer, haha! That said, I wish I had thought of this before I chose to come here, and I think it's great that you picked up on that vibe. Always go with your first instinct about a place, but also remember that if you really loved the academics and everything else, it might be worth it...you will find people like you (the theater department is a great place to start).

GOD. I just wrote a freaking essay. Feel free to not read all of that, girls!

Well, while we're on the subject of guys and their general weirdness....

Something really strange happened when I went to see Aida with my best friend, and I didn't post it before because I have been trying to make it go away in my head to no success.
Well, a quick bit of backstory here... me and said friend have been best friends since the day we met almost 5 years ago and I had a crush on him for the first year that we knew each other, but nothing ever happened. Well, in the last two years I have found myself falling for him. I realized about 6 months ago that I was in love with him, and I told him that I needed to know what was going on between us and he told me he was gay. Big letdown, but I have been dealing with it and he has still been my best friend though all of this.
Well, we were at the show and the whole time our legs were touching... no big deal we're comfy like that.... well girls, there was this one moment during the 2nd act where I absolutely swear he was going to reach for my hand! It didn't happen because I was so thrown by that action, but it was something that was... confusing. He has never been the touchy-feely... and he knows how I feel.. and WTF?! He also seems to be avoiding me now.

Yay? Men?

That is really, really weird, Kels. I have a bad habit (that my friend and I were joking about yesterday) of really, really hitting on guys who I'm positive are gay, because I know that I won't have to worry about rejection or about having someone get the wrong message when I'm just playfully flirting. This can backfire, though, because one of the guys was either not actually gay or in denial... I now I have a follower.

But a lot of my friends don't seem to have gaydar, because they're always saying that they think some random musical-theatre-loving-lisping-girls'-pants-wearing-referring-to-himself-as-'girl' guy likes me...

[withoutlovewithoutU]

Posted: 4/9/09 at 9:30pm

Haha, Schmerg... I flirt with gay guys too! yeah my gaydar works for the most part, yet I was (and still am really) baffled by the fact that he's gay! The only thing stereotypically "gay" about him is that he like musicals, but even that is off... he's likes rock musicals!

Yes JAG, exactly. All he was doing was complaining about the crazy girl and how women are evil and I said, well, you are obviously drawn to them for some reason. Part of you must want to "fix" the crazy. Guys say they want a normal, cool, stable girl but really don't.

Whatevs. I didn't know him well enough to be really upset by it, it's just the way these guys think.

Good morning ladies!!! (well...sort of)

I'm a wee bit hung over. I think I was tempted to drunk post last night but I was obviously too sloshed to do that since I've still got my skirt and heels on from last night . I made the mother of all drinking mistakes and I didn't eat ANYTHING before I left with my friends. All I had was lunch around 2 and I went to the bar at 11. That's a good nine hours of starvation which made for a pretty good night considering I got tipsy after only my first grape Martini. I don't remember everything from last night but I think I drunk dialed my best friend and told him I loved him even though he was with his boyfriend.

Since I was with my straight girlfriend (she doesn't know I'm gay and she's a good Christian girl) and her 2 guy cousins I had to be on my best behavior. I couldn't swear in front of her, which was really difficult since I was already buzzed and I curse like a sailor when I have a few drinks. I tried to be a good girl but I kid you not when I sat down in a booth after my tini at the bar, I spotted a table of at least 5 really cute lesbians!!! I was dying to talk to them but I didn't want to out myself. I think I had maybe 2 White Russians, one of which a really cool guy I met named Mango bought me. After my 4 shots of Patron I was DONE!!! I'm pretty sure I was blatantly staring at a few girls, I think their names were Brittany and Jill and I may have licked my lips at someone, it's kind of a blur. I hung on to my friends' shoulders and she led me to the restroom and the car, because apparently I had A LOT of trouble standing upright. AWESOME NIGHT!!

The only reason I'm awake now is because my grandmother was banging on my door asking where I went last night. I slurred something and I got chewed out for being drunk and hanging with the wrong people. Living with her again is NOT gonna be pretty!!!

P.S: It took me forever to write this because when I read it again there were sooooo many mistakes.

Have a good day girls!!!!

Argh...boys are stupid at any age. Yes, my friend and I have that conversation all the time. We know all these girls who are just crazy or stupid when it comes to relationships and we don't understand how they keep getting or keeping guys and we can't get a freakin date. I'm normal...or crazy in my own fun way...I know how to behave in a relationship, I'm chill...whyyyyyy am I the perpetually single girl? (I've finally realized that right now it's because I only hang around gay guys or the church guys who are probably scared of me.)

Kels- Oh girl...I know that situation all too well. My best friend I was in love with for like three years...I've told you guys this story numerous times. But even though he's gay, I still feel a weird chemistry/tension with him. Weird. Stockard gets to meet him next week. She's gonna be in VA and we're gonna grab drinks (YAY!!!) and he's going to be here, too...sooo he's being dragged along.

So ladies...I have great news!!!

Doctor's Report from Johns Hopkins: The tumor seems to be mostly inactive now!!! YAY!!! They're reducing my medication, I've lost weight, and they don't think that I have PCOS! Yeah man!!!! I got to do a little sight seeing in Baltimore and Annapolis (very cute). Oh and I got half the costumes for the show yesterday, for FREE!!! And I got to bond with my new roomie! Yesterday was a GOOD...no...GREAT day!

Hey girls! And Piano!

I'm just doing a quick drive by. I'm at my mom's, but tomorrow we are going to my grandma's who is 86 and has no computer. I'll try to check in again Monday.

Luscious I'm so glad for your happy medical news. And I'll call you sometime before next Thursday about Mango Mikes. But the tenative plan of 9:30 sounds great.

Miss and love you all!

What I want to know is.... when are you guys coming to see me in NY for our Ladies Who Lunch cocktails and a show? Summer, perhaps?
