I'm baaaaaack

Hello all,

I've been away for almost a year and in that time away (I'm sorry to report) didn't do a whole hell of a lot. I am still working for the same company doing the same job. Still no boyfriend in sight and I have a whole years worth of movie reviews under my belt. So, if you were to ask me what was new I would not have a lot to tell you. I do have a bird now. I don't know if it's a boy or girl so I named it Jerry partly because I love Jerry Seinfeld and partly because I like Ben and Jerry ice cream. Since this time one year ago I have maintained my weight. Not to say I have weighed the same all year (+25-15+10-20 but who's keeping track?) now it's idling around the same number as last year. I have a new keyboard and renewed my driver's licence. The last picture on my DL was good. I was thinner, tanned, had long hair, and a big smile. In this new picture I am literally shrugging. I saw the guy taking my picture look at it, cringe, and then tell me when I should expect to receive my licence in the mail. What else is new? I have a new best friend. Her name is Michelle. We decided to be best friends because out of all the people we hate (everyone) we hate eachother the least. I love to sing (off key) to every song on the radio and Michelle knows all the words to the chorus. Maybe we'll go on a wold tour together someday but don't hold your breath. Michelle is single too so we have lots of time to hang out together. I do work at a new branch at my credit union now and it's a Tuesday to Friday 8:30-7:00 shift which tires the hell out of me but I get a long weekend every weekend so I'm not complaining. I'm doing very well at work right now. I am in the top 10% of my peers and cover for the supervisor when she is on holidays or sick. I have applied for a promotion so keep your fingers crossed. It would be a little farther from home than my branch right now but I can take the skytrain so it will be so much more relaxing...no traffic! I really hope I get it. Now, regarding my love life. Like I said earlier I don't have a boyfriend but one of my New Year's resolutions was to "actively pursue love" so that's what I've been doing. I went on two dates last year. The first was with a guy (let's call him #1) and although I was not attracted to him in that way I would liked to have been friends with him. He is a fan of Samuel L. Jackson I am not...I never heard from him again. The second guy last year (#2) was really nice, funny, and interesting. He brought me flowers. We laughed, talked for hours, and had a great time. I called him and he said he meant to call me...I never heard from him again. Then at the beginning of this year I thought my luck had changed. I talked to a guy (suprise suprise let's call him #3) for hours on the phone. We spoke daily and even set up a time to meet for our first date. He cancelled the date, said he met someone else at work but still wanted to be friends and...drumroll please...I never heard from him again. By the way this doesn't depress me and doesn't make me imberassed to share. I think it's hilarious! :) So this last guy (#4) and I talk for hours multiple times daily. At first he tells me about what a nice guy he is, that he doesn't care about looks, and that he's very mature. In order to go out on a date with him I had to drive to where he lives (about an hour away from me), pay for both of our lunches, and both of our movie tickets. It turns out #4 is a lot quiter in person although he said that's when he comes out of his shell so I also had to do 2 people's worth of talking. There was an hour gap betweeen the end of our lunch and the beginning of the movie so we went for a walk at which point I found out that he's a smoker. Why didn't I find this out sooner? Because I didn't ask him. How lame. At one point during our walk he threatened to spank me. I told him he was not going to do any such thing so he slapped it. I was not impressed. After the date...HE called. He said he had a great time and wanted to be "more than friends". Lucky me! I said no. He still calls. I think this sums up my last year pretty well. Not too exciting but always entertaining. Hope yours was great too. :)
