As I said in an earlier somehow deleted entry (have I really only written 3?) I've been doing un-me things this year as part of a "New Year's Resolution."

I've run across a problem with this whole un-me business. That problem is: I can't stand the me I am!

I recently hooked up with a guy I would never normally have given the time of day to, and I must say he's really fucking annoying. Not only is he annoying, but he's so uneducated that I don't even know why I went for him in the first place. I'm a deaf creative writing graduate going out with an idiot with an accent. Talk about UN-ME.

I thought I'd give him a chance because, you know, everyone deserves chances. Well, I can't anymore. I exchanged e-mail addresses with him this week and I just finished reading his first e-mail to me.

It almost physically pains me to quote his e-mail in all of its splendour, but here goes:

"hi .good morning how are you .hopeing you are good health and doing fine ,well I hope that lillte talk we had make you feel better, I hope you are have a wonderful weekend .stay beautifull and sexy as you are .bye."

I'm flabbergasted! I never realized how dumb he was!

What have I gotten myself into?

Oh, and I might add that he's 33 years old. For shame.

I went to Costco early this morning with my parents. We were hoping to beat the Easter-hungry shoppers and just about did. While we were leaving, I noticed this Costco employee (woo-woo! pretty damn cute guy) checking the bills before letting people exit the building. Anyway, the guy was making eyes at me and I was trying to play it cool. How cool can you play it when you're smooshed between your two parents? And it led me to thinking "how could I have even flirted with him with my parents around?"

Ahh, yes, this situation could have been avoided had I had a life and didn't hang out with my folks. Ya think?

This is going to be a long, terribly long, summer.

I bought a book called "The 7 lively sins" by Karen Somebody-or-Other and she quotes a famous Joe Blow:

"If you keep standing with one foot in the past and one foot in the future you're going to pee all over your present."

How true is that?
