burn down the disco Sigh. Part of me regrets what I said yesterday, but I also feel better for having said it. Some things got muddled as they usually do here, but I think I got across what I wanted to say. The crux of the matter is that I know that it takes a lot of effort to be involved with someone and at the moment I don't know if I want to do that or not. Of course I have to meet someone new first and with me being gone for most of July that will have to wait until I get back. Then there are the odd hours that I keep that also makes things slightly more awkward in meeting new people. I'm not using my job as an excuse, but any traditional form of a date would have to end at ten-thirty or eleven at the latest. If things were a complete disaster then this would be a good thing for both of us I also want to acknowledge the fact that I am not an easy person to get along with all of the time. I am okay to be around for a few hours, but living with someone is another matter entirely. It would take some time for me to adjust to the continual presence of another person. ... To those of you who are madly in love and couldn't be happier. Good for you. Just don't keep pestering me. Thank you. ... Oh, I also feel compelled to give an example of the inane arguments that my last girlfriend and I had that I do not miss. Ahem. She was determined to have me start artificial tanning with her, because she was unhappy that I had tan lines. Well, I could care less if my ass is a lighter shade than the rest of me. It makes me that much easier to find in a darkened bedroom. Besides I don't see any reason to accelerate my chances of getting skin cancer. Okay, maybe saying that my ass is a different shade than the rest of my body might qualify for the category of too much information. ... Now to discuss my latest fix of reality television. My sister thought that she had taped the debut episode of Real World New Orleans for me, but that isn't what I saw on the tape. Instead of the angst filled antics of the youth of America I got minutes upon minutes of static. It seems that she made some kind of programming mistake with her vcr. It would have been nice to have known this earlier since MTV repeated it a few more times this weekend and I would have told her to try taping it again. So instead of watching The Real World, I sat through another episode of The 1900 House on PBS. ... A solid taste of summer was here today in Wisconsin and I spent as many hours as possible outside to enjoy it.
