Another day, another update.  If I'm not careful this may grow to become a habit.

I texted that girl yesterday, asking her to dinner and a movie tonight; yes, the old tried and true cliche.  Kick Ass 2 comes out today and she seemed like she might be a comic book girl.

No dice though.  She declined, saying that she was going to her mother's for the weekend.  I'm not certain if that's just a "sorry, I'm busy" or an actual rejection.  To be honest, the date the other night didn't go spectacularly.  Still, we both seemed super-duper nervous; I really wanted to give it another chance.

Ah well, I guess Paul is going to be my date for tonight :P

He wants to hang out and get away from Anna for a bit.  I stopped by the storage unit and picked up Space Hulk and a few other games and perhaps we'll catch that movie after all.  I've been missing hanging out with him but I don't really feel up to another awkward outing with Anna.  Again, not that I have anything against her but hanging out with a friend's SO, especially a seemingly temperamental one who doesn't communicate well if something is bothering her, shifts the entire focus of the evening to not offending her and making her happy.  Kinda sucks when all you want to do is relax.

I should get off my ass and message that other girl on OkCupid.  A part of me worries that too much is in transition right now and that starting a relationship would be bad juju.  Another part thinks that it's about GODDAMN TIME that I got off my ass and tried to meet people.

I spent a bit of time looking at Seattle rentals last night.  It certainly seems affordable.  I'm not sure how I feel about things yet.  On one hand I think it'll be an adventure.  On the other, leaving home is a scary proposition.  I'll have to let it sit a while and see how I feel a month or two down the road.
