Bad Dog

Teh Doggeh is trying to ruin my life. You would think that having a super-cute dog would be serious man-bait, but not in this case. He hates good-looking men, and he is even cantankerous with good-looking women, just in case I decided to try new things, I guess. He used to snarl and growl at men, but he is refining his technique. Today, this cute man was giving me the eye, so Teh Doggeh promptly took a giant poop next to his foot and then tried to clothesline him with his leash.

Life Is a Mystery, Everyone Must Stand Alone

I started reading some of the new young adult vampire novels I bought today, beginning with Companions of the Night by Vivian Vande Velde (good book but way too short -- I hope she writes a sequel). My sole problem with the book, aside from its brevity, is that the main character's little brother has the same name as the cute guy from work I'm trying to avoid. Seriously? Seriously?? Why can I not get away from this person?

Like a Prayer

Dear God,

Why are You punishing me, Your humble servant? Why is it that, in the past (the past known as "last week") when I wanted to run into that cute guy at work, I could not have done so if I were sitting in his desk chair or stalking him, Edward Cullen-style. Now, I can be assured that I will run into him every day. Is he the Edward Cullen to my Bella, stalking me secretly yet avoiding actual interactions (such as when he turned down our mutual friend's invitation to lunch and then ran into us outside the restaurant anyway)? Please make him go away.

Thank You.

Should I Give Up or Should I Just Keep Chasing Pavements, Even If It Leads Nowhere?

I ran into the cute guy from work again today. When I wanted to run into him, I would not have been able to do so if I lurked in his bedroom. Now that I want to avoid him, he's suddenly everywhere. Fucking of course. Lord, why are you punishing me, Your humble servant? What have I done to offend You? I must add that he (the cute guy from work, not the Lord) seems no more interested in making out with/getting to know me than he has at any point since we went to lunch. Maybe I wasn't as interesting at lunch as I hoped? Maybe he doesn't understand that when both of us are conversing and also laughing that that is what is called "fun" here on Planet Earth? Maybe he doesn't think that co-workers should date, so he avoids me because otherwise he might, to paraphrase Blanche Devereaux, succumb to the Vesuvius of passion about to erupt between us? I've lost 17 fucking pounds, and I look fantastic. I think he owes it to me to at least buy me one dinner and make out with me once.

Lunch Hour

I invited a group of people to lunch tomorrow, including the new cute guy at work, and he turned down my invitation. He says he has other plans, but he didn't suggest alternate plans, which makes me think that even if he does have other plans, he's not that interested in hanging out with me.

I need to meet a nice vampire or werewolf to date. Human boys disappoint me.

Life Goes On, Long After the Thrill of Living is Gone

Things seem to have already dried up between me and the cute guy from work. I haven't heard from him since we had lunch together, so he clearly is not pining for me. He is, as they say, just not that into me. Poo. My only hope is that this leaves the window open for my Edward Cullen-like vampire admirer to stop lurking in the shadows and declare his love for me.
