So, my new roommate has confirmed that she'll move in April 1st. I am almost nervous because I haven't lived well with women. I've always thought it was that the girls I've lived with were ALL unbalanced (very), but if it doesn't work with the new roommate, then I will have to assume there's something about me that's off.
I'm nervous because my best friend has lived with this girl in the past and said we are very alike. So far, I think we might be. She went to university in Montreal, and shares the same world views as I do... I haven't been around that since I moved back to the west coast.

Last night, I went on my first blind date with a guy I met online. He was nice, as cute as his pictures, and there was nothing wrong with the date. But it wasn't a match. I think I was too "crazy" for him; I'm pretty energetic on a first date, and I think maybe I tired him out. He yawned a few times, which was actually quite funny, rather than offensive. I don't think I'll go out with him again. I think either felt like it wasn't a match, or he was intimidated by me. Or both. I've set up another date for next week with my no. 1 choice that i've met online. A 25 year old Gemini...just like my recent ex-boyfriend. But this guy is a pilot, which is neat.
Speaking of my ex...I finally cut off communication. Took him off msn, blocked email, deleted phone number... we need to be away from each other. It's too hard to be in contact because we get along so well, and we do love each other. And I know that I'm just hurting him by prolonging contact. So...I guess now we both get used to having the other person completely gone from our life. He found my profile online for the dating website. I bet that hurt him. But he had a profile up, too. We've seen each other's profiles online. It's weird...
His profile is bad. Today, I looked him up. (I'm stalking him, a little bit...just watching the days he goes online, since I can't actually talk to him; it makes me feel a little closer to him.) He surprised me though, I will say. He turned into THAT GUY who puts up a no-shirt picture of his upper torso. Huh?!? Did I date a guy who would do that? What a loser! The thing is, first, he has a pretty average body, and the picture isn't flattering, so that's just weird. Second, doesn't he read all the profiles that say, "NO topless pics!"... girls don't tend to go for that, and the one's who DO, are looking for a guy who's somewhat ripped (I assume?) I'm really surprised that he did something so geeky. But I wonder if maybe he's trying to find women looking for sex and so he's advertising the fact.
Dunno. It was kind of sad though that after he put the half-naked pic up, the people who had listed him as a favourite went from 4 people to 3 to 2....
Meanwhile, every time I log in, someone new has put me up as a favourite.
