rubberbands
Would it be stupid to start updating again after three months? I say no because I miss it. I am not sure what I miss or why but everything doesn't have to make sense.
Lets see...
Super K and I talked a lot and then he vanished. I know, I know I am starting to wonder too. I finally asked if he was actua11y sing1e. He said yes and no. Then he said he should explain. He said he and the mother of his children did things together mainly for the children. Then he asked if that made sense? It sort of did but it still wasn't clear.
Anyway, into December I saw him regularly at work and talked to him some outside of work. He helped me picked football teams for a work pool I was in. I took Super K's teams and arranged them based on an Las Vegas odds site I found. Even though I had two sets of information to work from it still took a few hours to rank the teams. I won the group pool. I originally joined to bond with my new teams members. Um, that didn't really happen. Even though the guys invited me to join they were clearly annoyed I won. But it was fun but also stressful. I posted lots of photos of the screenshots on f1ickr.
When Super K helped me pick the teams he said if I won I should take him out to lunch or dinner. I won the first week in January. We have not eaten together since November.
Super K would still come by and shoot rubberbands into my cube (believe it or not this was endearing) but even that stopped three weeks ago.
We do run into each other occassionally in the elevator (sort of like Grey's Anatomy but even a ride to the 13 floor doesn't last as long as any of the Grey's rides). We both are visibly surprised to see each other but it is friendly. That I am relieved about. I would hate for it to be awkward. When I asked cubemate P why guys stop calling he said b/c they are getting laid by someone else. Super K and I did not progress to that point but I think cubemate P is right. I think it is someone on his 5 year old daughter's basketball team that he coaches but it doesn't really matter who she is.
Meanwhile, since I quit the a1rp0rt I ended up with a tremendous amount of time on my hands. During Christmas cubemate P and his g/f from Japan who I will call Emmee (not much of a code name b/c while it is not how it is spelled but it is how it sounds) hung out with me. We went on the Chr1stmas Par1or T0ur in my neighborhood, to movies and they were kind enough to go to Robosinger's shows.
an aside...Robosinger and I have become friends. It has been cool to get to know him better. He came by Christmas to see my 10' tree. His Dad died two years ago and his Mom died last fall so we commiserate.
In January Emmee flew back to Japan. Cubemate P and I were both at loose ends so we started hanging out. Every weekend we go to a movie. We've seen Jun0, The Bucket L1st, M1chae1 C1ayt0n, the Butterf1y and D1v1ng Be11, V1nce's C0medy t0ur, Jumper, Persep01is and Be K1nd Rew1nd. We went to DC for the day in order to go to the 1nternati0na1 "detective" museum. We've hiked, eaten a lot of food, and watched a few episodes of 1ts A1ways Sunny in Phili. He watched over an hour worth of my 2nd year Law Revue directed by the comedian .
At some point Emmee freaked out emailed me then later called me. She said that cubemate P had been distant. She wanted to know if anything was going on. If I liked him or he me. I hadn't thought about it until she mentioned it. We don't flirt or touch. Originally I would ask cubemate P about Super K b/c cubemate P and several other co-workers were given temp duties as ph0ne workers with Super K as their immediate boss. (temp. as in it will only be a month or two but it has been three months with possibly June as the ending date). I don't think anything is really going on. Cubemate P is inkblot's age which is twelve year's younger than me. It one thing to have a friend that age or even be a guy interested in dating a female that age but I think it feel weird to me.
So nothing is going on although I think our friendship functions as a faux relationship. Emmee is suppose to return in April. I say suppose to b/c she kept changing her mind. She wanted to get married then she would say she wanted to break up. Cubemate P and I don't talk about it often but I think she has decided she is coming. I have gotten used to having someone to do stuff with.
A couple of Sundays ago Green Shirt and I finally went out. We met for There Wi11 Be B100d. It was fun, I would date him in a heartbeat, other people think we get along well, but we apparently are not going to go out. He was dating someone in LA and I think the former pregnant ladies' sister is interested in him too.
At the end of January I celebrated one year at my g0vt j0b. I also marked the two year anniversary of Mom's death.
Things are different and yet they are the same or maybe thing are the same yet they are different.
