Cliches abound.
A book by its cover would never have gotten me to go forward
but she smiles
and it makes me feel like I am
home?
Maybe.
But the bookcover suggest more then that.
I want to smell her
constantly keep in contact with her
keep getting to know her
and her beautiful eyes
mouth
hips
Gorgeous
gorgeous

And cliches abound as I hear the common rephrase
"I told you so."
Yeah. Yeah. I know.
We will see where this goes....

Forgot...Pictures
Flickr was being an idiot...so let's try Facebook.

Present Book: "The Satanic Verses" by Salman Rushdie, and every single Library and Information Science Intro book known to man. Even Beginner Management for Information Services book. It's fabulous.
Music: Female/sexy jazz like Blossom Dearie, Ella Fitzgerald, and maybe some Dean Martin
Knitting: Finished the first sock for my complicated/cable like project from Sock Innovation. It was fun using itty bitty needles to then use humongous poke-your-eyes-out needles. I wasn't using the exact same needle from the itty bitty to long, but ah well. They fit perfectly. Will start the second one soon. I am still working on a shawl pattern. Haven't started my Knit Along project that my friend Jessica and I were going to do together. She has surpassed me because I am slow when it comes to starting anything. It didn't help that I was in New York City. But, I will try to catch up. I have to get new needles though.
Thoughts: Started school this Monday, but had already started a class the beginning of this month. But, the procrastinator in me, decided not to start until I came back from my vacation. Dumb. Idea. I was in front of my computer from Thursday to Sunday, trying to get ahead and get caught up on everything. But I am having fun so far. I am starting to get to "know" people (all of my classes involve introductions), and learning a lot in such a small amount of time. It is going to be a very busy semester though. I have tons of reading, and it is only been three days. I am pretty caught up so far because I finished one class's reading last week (I figured why not since I had the resource there), but I don't have all my textbooks. I have two or three that are lagging, and one of them I have to finish reading by the end of this week. I also know that there will be one class that will be challenging because the professor thinks non-linearly. I like linear thinking. But, I will conquer through! Through all this complaining/whining, I am absolutely happy that I am starting on the rest of my life.
Love: Against all protestations, I have been pushing myself out there. I went on one meeting before New York City at SF MOMA to see the Georgia O'Keefe/Ansel Adams exhibit. The exhibit got filled, and my "date" and I didn't click. I talked like an idiot, and she was unresponsive. But I understand first dates tend to be awkward. But, we will see. I am not as optimistic about it as some people have been. I also didn't feel that click. She is pretty, but our personalities/preferences didn't seem to click.
I went on a coffee date on Tuesday (yesterday) to another girl that I met through OKCupid.com. This is the first time that I had a date right after website contact, and it wasn't bad at all. She and I clicked physically and mentally. It wasn't hard to have a conversation with her, and I didn't feel like I was pushing it. It felt natural. She and I have also been texting back and forth, so it helped that I had some sort of idea of who she is. We have another date (dinner date this time) on Saturday. But...well, have you ever heard the joke about the lesbian and her second date? They bring a U-Haul Truck. Well, I think she was starting to do something like that because she was already planning our third date...at her house. I told her I want to take things slowly, and we haven't gone on our second date yet. She seemed hurt after, and I felt guilty...but I haven't had a relationship with a woman before. I would like to take things slowly and enjoy dating as it comes. I don't want to jump quickly into the thick of things. Is that bad? I mean, am I doing something horrible? Should I just jump in and then let myself get consumed in fear? Aaaahhhh!
Anyway. That's what's going on.

NYC
I am back. It's been a great visit. I took a lot of pictures. Unfortunately, because I took over 300 pictures...I am not going to post them here. But I will be putting them up on Flickr for you guys soon.
I'm home! I miss my Amie and my Bluebird.

How To Be Female
Apparently I was being a very bad example of a woman and was not buying good underwear. Or wearing underwear that I had since I was 12. And also, I was putting my bra on incorrectly. And washing all of them horribly. What I find out on Thursday nights...
So, today, I went through all my underwear and threw out the ones that looked old, was old, and didn't seem to fit me well. Yes, I wore underwear that didn't fit me because I just didn't care. Apparently (that word again) if you wear something pretty, you will be confident and you will get laid. I was told that is the reason why I am not getting laid. Yes. I know. TMI. So, over half of my underwear went into the garbage can. And then I looked at my underwear drawer and said, "Shit. I have no underwear!" (Well, I kept a few...but not enough) So, I ran to Target to get some underwear. Yeah, cost me 50 some dollars to get enough underwear. But they're pretty! And lacy! And comfortable! Yeah.
I feel like I have become a full grown woman now.
