feeling tired and old

but not necessarily unhappy about either.

wedding was great! JMS and Mrs. JMS are perfect for each other, and it shows. we got personalized ketchup bottles as wedding favors!

i didn't boot, didn't do anything i'm ashamed of, and totally passed up totally-inappropriate-dancing/kissy-face/who-knows-what-else w/a tall, dark and could-be-handsome dude. he was just a bit too awkward. but he's really really smart. i think he was a physics major in college (graduated my year) and is now a risk manager for some big ol' bank in NYC. he cornered me to talk about the supreme court, nominee sonia sotomayor, the firemen case, and such for 15min during the hors d'oeuvres/cocktail hour and then followed me around on the dance floor afterwards. woo woo go me. he left the afterparty before the majority of us did, and came to talk to me at the bar but then cut himself off by saying "but [omphaloskepsist], you're already spoken for--" which i totally didn't understand b/c i was sharing a room w/HT but we're totally not together and everyone should know that! oh well. it wasn't like i was going to hit that up anyway.

what else did i do--hung out w/FM's new-ish girlfriend some more. i asked BL at some point why she's dating him [b/c she met him for the first time at BL's wedding where he was totally inappropriate in front of his ex-girlfriend] and this is her response: 1) b/c she doesn't know any better and 2) they're both halfies, so they have a lot in common. i do like her better than ex-girlfriend b/c she at least has personality. we caught them going into the women's restroom (for who knows what!) at the wedding afterparty. ha!

i also did my ex-roomie duty and took HT shopping after the wedding. he has just gotten back from a 6mo sabbatical in central america, and is going back to work in [summer city] for a few months before he leaves for australia. he's giving himself a total of a year off and is then probably going to move to [eastern city] to be closer to his family and the whole college crowd.

IG has also invited me for the island party so i'm trying to figure out if it's w/in my finances to fly up there in the middle of august. i'm already going on a 4-day trip to new orleans w/TM and perhaps AA for labor day weekend [a city we picked prior to learning that it will be the weekend of SOUTHERN DECADENCE which is, according to its website, the "gay mardi gras" so who knows what we will be in for] so i'm trying to minimize vacation days.

work is work (which kept me from posting about last weekend) and i spent 8hrs today hanging out w/SFC during a work training which got me going back and forth again on whether i think he's cute and whether i have a crush on him or not. i like him better clean-shaven [check] and also in non-work-attire [uncheck, and i really don't like the majority of his ties]. but i was getting seriously heated up sitting next to him and staring at his wrists. WTF? i caught him looking at me a couple of times for no real reason, while the speaker was in a totally different direction and we weren't discussing/brainstorming anything, and i'm assuming that's b/c i'm hot and sexy.

a whole lot of random nothingness, that is my life right now.

what i did determine over last weekend is that i miss the east coast. and my friends in [eastern city]. and [eastern city]. something about summer in new england always gets me...argh! what am i doing here???

need to make more friends here in [northern city] and get back to the gym. want to find some hot guys. would like some kissy-face.

sigh.

Ketchup bottles as wedding favours? Really? Now that's strange!

Hey, you can be smug that some tall, dark and handsome dude (regardless of how awkward) totally wanted you. I'm sure you'll have no problem finding hot guys for some kissy-face. Hehe.
