     So what is there to say right now? I have been inside and outside of my brain for the past few days. Days which finally involved me getting better, and a date with a new guy who may maintain a permanent place in my life. Yeah I know, right? Date number two should be happening Wednesday because we just had that good a date last night. We went out for dinner. Short of showing up with flowers and such, he opened every door for me (at least the ones I let him get to first), always let me walk ahead of him, and wouldn't let me pay for a thing.
     Now, I'm not saying it is always a requirement of guys to do these things, but sometimes it is nice to be treated as though you're being dated, rather than just going out for a date in the 21st century. I mean, what is there really left when you're in this day and age? Sometimes it is just nice to have someone who acts like he really wants you around. I guess I still have a hugely romantic side in me. I just love the idea of chivalry and surprises -- though knowing a surprise is coming drives me absolutely crazy.
     I really just like the spontaneous nature some people can have. I like it when you surprise me with something to do, or something as little as a song which makes you think of me. I like people who show up randomly, just to say hi, or maybe to grab a fast lunch. I want to look for you in ever person who enters a house, room, business, or restaurant. I want to look and know that it is a possibility that you just might be there. I don't want to be in a relationship where I would tell my own mind, 'no, he isn't that type of guy. he wouldn't do that.' I really don't want that sort of thing.
     I want a guy who never lets me go to bed angry. Someone who always wants to talk things out rather than get quiet and go awol. I would much rather deal with someone being upset and angry than dealing with someone who I feel that I cannot reach no matter what I do.
     
     Needless to say, it was a good date. Dinner was excellent, if not a little bit too tight for me. I say tight because it was a restaurant with different lighting which was darker and a little loud. I feel as though we could have picked a much more interesting place to eat, but on a Sunday it might have been tough to get a calmer environment anywhere. No fault there, but I also didn't love the feeling that I was left with from the movie "Up in the Air." It was a rather depressing movie about a man with no family ties, and no nothing. He spent all of his life traveling for a company which hired him out to other companies to fire people. It was very interesting -- and had rather hilarious parts, but it was EXTREMELY depressing towards the end. I did not rather enjoy the feeling of desperation which made me feel that my job had a bleak outlook.


Anyway, that is the story for the time being. We'll have to see what happens.


I'm still working on my novel, and I need to really put some work into it and see where else I can go with it. I need to get my Tablet. I really need it so I can get it up and working and take it to work with me so I can do something productive while I'm there.
