Blasts from the past
In the past 24 hours, I’ve randomly been contacted by two people with whom I’d completely lost touch for way too long:
(1) An old friend from high school who found me on LinkedIn – ha, I guess that site is good for something after all. I almost shit a brick when his email popped up in my inbox, and I hope to organize a mini-reunion with him and our little high school dork brigade in the near future. I’m excited to catch up wtih them! I wonder if they’re all still dorks like me? Oh, who am I kidding – of course they are. : )
(2) I got a text, completely out of the blue, from the new male prospect tonight. (I think the last time we talked was here.) I was very pleasantly surprised to hear from him, and we wound up catching up over the phone just a little while ago. How great! It was so good to chat with him again, and despite all the drama that may have occurred between us a few years ago (sorry, old blog, no links!), I think we’re actually very good as friends and am looking forward to having lunch with him sometime soon.
I wonder who else will be popping back into my life? Don’t these things always happen in 3s? : )

Yo DD,
Remember all these dudes who would, for a lack of a better term, love you and leave you? NMP is one of those guys. Sure, it’s a cute date, sure he’s a lot of fun and sure you have great physical chemistry. But sure, he won’t call you for a few weeks.
Seriously, find someone new…or a few new guys.
Or maybe you can wait until Hot Marine invites you to his wedding and asks if you want to bone “for old time’s sake” in the coat room. Those tissues aren’t for crying, you know.
Find some New New Male Prospects.

What happened to the significant ex? Did he back to you in the end??
October 16th, 2009 at 8:43 pmOk, ok, I admit it – my interactions with the new male prospect have been less than healthy over the past few years, but I really do enjoy my friendship with him, and it was great to get back in touch. He’s been exclusively dating his GF for over a year now, and he and I are JUST friends. No funny business. Besides, his GF sounds like a nice girl. I’m happy for them!
As for New Year’s Lips – he did eventually write back after my “I’m done with this bullshit” email. He waited a week to get back to me, and his brilliant response was something like “Yeah, I didn’t really know what I was up to there… sorry!” Whatever!! Moving right along.
