Wowza!

My potential dating life has taken a freakish turn. In a very, very good way. My friends have pretty much all been apprised of the situation. As for the rest of you, you'll just have to remain in the dark for the moment. If you know how to track me down, please feel free to do so and I might fill you in. Or I may opt to be a huge tease. ;) A dear friend summed it up, as the universe is being a 3 year old, having a tantrum, trying to get my attention.

That said, nothing has changed. I haven't gone on a date in this past week, or anything.

In fact, I went ahead and posted a new list. I revised the A to Z list I had posted a while ago. First, I tried Kijiji. The responses were abysmal, to say the least. Although, there is one gentleman that very much has my attention. I've sinced removed it from there and put it up on Craigslist instead. I'm just not getting the reponses, like I had with my previous list. I think it's a combination of poor timing and a list that's not quite as interesting, perhaps.

I do have a nice little "stable" of guys right now, so I'm really not sure why I'm pursuing more. *lol* Perhaps it's because I already know that several of these guys are much better suited to be friends than something romantic? And yes, that's perfectly fine with me. New, interesting friends are more than welcome in my life. Seems like my local group has slowly erroded over time, with many having had moved away. Some are just weird after my split. It's hard to keep my attention, so there's obviously something there, if I'm still happy to be chatting after several weeks, without even meeting.

Sorry that I have no earth shattering updates. Someday I will, I'm sure. In the meantime, here's the latest list...

A - Active. I love to be doing something.
B - Brain. I have one and enjoy using it.
C - Comfortable with who I am.
D - Dreamer. I like to think anything is possible.
E - Energetic, among other things.

P - Punctual. Always! If I'm late, something is wrong.

R - Riesling. Please grab me a glass while you're up.
S - Six feet. That's how tall I am.
T - Thoughtful. I like to treat people well.
U - University. I've just gone back.
V - Vivacious. Get to know me & you'll find out quickly.
W - Wham! A lustful throwback to my young teen years.
