some flaws here

I'm not quite sure what prompted the odd tone of the past two entries. It felt good to finally write something after so many days of just marking time, but I often wonder if I sound like an ass after I go through a day or two of these odd rants.

In summary it all boils down to the fact that I know that people have emotional baggage after a series of relationships and I am no exception to the rule. Quite simply I don't want to repeat past mistakes with someone new, nor do I want someone to work out their aggressions started by someone from their past on me.

I guess that that is all that I have to say about love and or romance at this point. Maybe I'll have more to say the closer we get to the dreaded holiday in February.

...

Late in the afternoon, I had some strange dreams. Once again my mind conjured up some women that I have never seen in reality. Now these aren't some soft porn fantasy types either. Usually they tend to be more of a girl next door type quality.

Not only are the women in the dream very believable, but so is the overall theme of the dream. Somehow I always seem to meet women in an academic setting so that was exactly where most of these dreams took place. There I was in a college classroom and this woman that I never met before is flirting to no end with me. It all sounds silly now, but at the time it was oddly familiar. Without a doubt parts of the dream were clearly based on the way that I met my last college girlfriend.

Of course some of this may or may not happen when I start class next week. Then again my ever elusive potential romantic interest J. Crew girl will be there as well. She doesn't strike me as the flirting type though. That kind of approach would be more in line with Party Girl.

...

Work surprised me before I left this morning. It seems that they are going to send me to school in two weeks, which is fine with me. It's something that they have been promising for a long time. Last year when I came back from Europe I found out that they had sent or would be sending almost everyone from the department but me to some kind of class. At the time it really bothered me.

A coworker pointed out to my boss that I also have another class that week and my boss asked if that would be a problem. I said no. Since I had the same professor for another class last semester I was fairly certain that she would understand my needing to be absent for the week. If this had been someone else it might have been an issue, but I don't think that it will be with her. She knows me and can probably understand my situation.

...

Somehow the system crashed when Ann took her test on Tuesday and now she has to take it again. Much teasing was heard as she walked in this morning. That girl just never seems to get a break.

I offered her my chair as I was leaving and was told that I was ever the gentleman.
