When I Get Big, Fat Ideas
Aug. 20th, 2007 09:03 amUgh... weekend's go by too fast for my tastes...
I just spent about a half an hour cleaning out my e-mail inbox. I had over 500 e-mails from this whole summer (most of them were LJ "Reply to your post/comment" thingies) and I whittled it down to about 150. I still had stuff hanging around from last semester.... packrat that I am -_-'
I'm debating over e-mailing this one guy, though. Last 4th of July, I went with my family to a BBQ that my dad's cousin has every year. My dad's cousin's daughter, B, and I were talking about some stuff and she mentioned she had a friend that she thought I might like to date. He works for the English department at the University of Utah and he's active in the church and sounds like a great catch. The problem is that he's kinda shy and really busy working (hmm, that sounds eerily familiar). Anyway, I gave B my e-mail address for something totally different and she asked me if she could give it to her friend. I told her to go ahead and I'd see what came of it. A few weeks later, B e-mailed me and her friend with our e-mail addresses and said " 'kay, I've done my part, now it's up to you guys to either be friends or date or whatever you want to do" (which, I'm glad she's not pushing the issue). So far, he hasn't e-mailed and neither have I.
So, I found this guy's e-mail address buried under all the LJ comments and things I end up with. I didn't delete it because I think I might like to get to know him, but I'm a little leery about e-mailing somebody that I've never even spoken to, let alone met in person. Plus, I've e-mailed guys before like this and it's rarely worked out (it's worked out fine online, but once we got together in person it sorta flopped).
On the other hand, B is pretty perceptive about relationships and I don't think she'd lead me wrong. I do want to give this a chance, but I'm just hesitant because I've gotten burned doing this before (and I've burned others - which, that sucks just as much. I hate feeling like I've hurt somebody, even if they said I didn't. I just have a sensitive conscience like that). Feh... I'm no good at this stuff.
And why, why, WHY do all the radio stations have to play that Carrie Underwood twerp AT THE SAME FREAKING TIME? I'm really getting sick of her.
And school started for a lot of people today - mostly college people. And I'm not going back. I feel a little like Harry and Co. in Deathly Hallows. Not sure how I feel about that...
