cheating/speed dating

not much going on here today. damn, that's getting to be quite the usual statement, huh? :/

so let's talk about emotional cheating. personally, i think it's natural to be attracted to others while you're in a committed relationship. but it's what you do about it that matters, i.e. you do or you don't hook up with them, have a one night stand, an affair, etc.

so with that said, i guess i'm more of a believer that most stuff that counts as cheating is in the physical realm of things. but then again, i can see how if the other person thinks about someone else all the time, harbors emotional/erotic feelings for the other, then that might constitute some other, non-tangible form of cheating. hm.

ok, in conclusion, then, i don't know what i'm talking about. i guess in the emotional cheating case, there is some fine line between simply fancying another, and being a little more obsessive about it that makes a difference. what do you think?

so now that i've done speed dating twice with two different organizations, i am getting all this e-mail about upcoming speed dating events in may. there's a click2asia one on 5/15, and a baare.org one on 5/19. what do i think? i'd just like to get to know the hostess of the one i went to last week. maybe i should ask the organizers once more? *ponder*

i mean, i'd drop another $35 just to meet her again, but to make my money worthwhile, i'd need to know if she's going to help run the show. which means: i need to brave the wrath of the organizers, who have already told me (in so many words) to forget about her and concentrate on my matches. HRMPH.

it's only tuesday??!

well, i finally got a cell (a correct one, mind you) out of my block. WOOT! but there's still a lot more testing to be done, so don't be overly happy for me.

sigh. no basketball today. which may have been a blessing since it's a blistering 90+ degrees out there. wow! but yeah, i drove to city beach, and a company was having a party there, so i got turned away from open play. oh well. i treated myself to mcdonald's (still no beef, though i am craving a big mac tremendously) for lunch.

did i tell you i hit 180.8 the other day? crajee.

these nights, i've been missing out on 2-3 hours of sleep because of the heat. and even though i sleep naked and (lately) don't even use any covers, it's still too hot. so i wind up tossing and turning in my warm sheets and pillows until the temperature starts dropping, and this usually happens past midnight. *RAAR*

i'm bummed that my dallas mavericks are most likely going to be bounced from the first round of the nba playoffs. they're down 3 games to 1, and well... that's just too bad. damn pick and roll with nash/nowitzki didn't work last night!

so i've started up an e-mail exchange with one of my speed dating matches. we'll see how it goes from there. i need to come up with a shorthand for identifying her, though.

i am, however, still looking for someone who i can get giddy over. if you remember, the last girl i that made me feel that way was k4. sigh. i was literally bouncing around after our first meeting!

and that's the thing. few people move me these days. either i'm getting old and jaded and "unmovable," or i'm just not meeting the right people, i.e. they're getting more and more scarce. either way, it bodes badly for me and my ultimate romantic satisfaction.

um, yeah. i'll write more later.

college choice

so it looks like my brother is going to UCLA after all... he visited berkeley this past weekend, it he was totally turned off by the fact that everyone was studying all the time (keep in mind, he was talking to chemical engineering majors, which is what he will start off in). plus, he didn't like the atmosphere of the surrounding city, the bums in the street, etc.

i think it's a good choice. and i'm glad that my parents let him make this decision. or at least, that they relented and could see his point.

the only problem is, it'll be harder for me to visit him while he's in school. i HATE socal!
