I’m Still Here, Just Rounder

An Update From Michigan

It's Thursday evening and I just shampooed my hair with body wash,

after eating a corned beef sandwich with coleslaw and dressing, with a

side of seven layer cake, and a soda!  Things are going well here in

Michigan. I have taken my "hiatus" pretty seriously, by eating

everything in sight. I really am thinking it might be more fun than

dating. Anyways, I am sending out an update because I keep getting

asked.  Dating here has been a no go. No one wants to set me up

because I don't liiiiive here. Whatever, people don't causally date in

metro Detroit?  Lame.

Here's the status on my NY men:

Rock Climber

I don't know what to say about this dude. We were supposed to hang out

the Thursday and Friday that I was leaving. He got sick so couldnt see

me Thursday, and Friday came in around lunch. He drove in from his

parents place. (He was there on Thursday. He goes home a lot.) (red

flag)  I was really appreciative that he came in to see me before I

left. We had a nice lunch and he came back to my place to hang out

after.  No kissing or sex though bc he was sick. Somehow I still ended

up in my undies.  Weird I guess. (red flag?) I asked him if we would

talk while I was away, he said yeah, we can FaceTime.  ok. So he left.

 I left. I texted him the next day while home. Got short reply back.

This went on for a few days.  He was still sick for a while. I kept on

reaching out, asking what was up... He stopped responding August 14. I

just looked to be sure. Just stopped. Really, seriously. Fucked up. I

am upset- but not bc of why you may think. I am upset bc he asked me

to open up, and I did. I told him I liked him. I was clear. And then

he pulls that shit. Not cool. I don't think I would have married the

guy, so I will live. But it wasn't nice.  Also, he doesn't have a TV.

It's 2012. Get a television yo!

I guess I did know what to say about him.

Buddha

Score in the Buddha department. He is great. He stayed in touch all

summer. We texted and talked about the Olympics, concerts, music. He

is pretty awesome. I even sent him a picture of Northern Michigan, it

was so pretty. (I was not in it).   I am pleased with our

correspondence and hope to see Buddha again. Even as a friend, he is

cool.

A

Oh, A. He was doing so well and then a bomb fell on my lap

last night.  He texted me the day I left. I texted him a few weeks

ago, we wrote back and forth a bit. Earlier this week he asked me what

day I was coming back. I was thinking I would see him again. Then, I

found out he told (at least one person) allll about what happened on

our date. I hope you get me when I say he told EVERYTHING that

happened. Except of course that he didn't pay for me, but someone made

sure people knew about that. (Thanks girl!). He's like a girl. I can't

believe he told. I am pretty embarrassed and upset that he did that. I

now do not plan on seeing him again. I guess people who heard weren't

that phased by the information, but that's some private shit.

Seriously disappointed in him.

OkCupid

Yes, I still love it. Except that now the guys are asking to meet me

and I don't want to meet them. I just get bored and like to talk to

them through the okcupid website. My brother did tell me it was mean

to lead them on. So now I'm just not responding to them. They should

get the hint. It worked for RC with not responding to me. I’m trying it out.

That's my report. It's been a lazy summer of too much food (fudge,

peanut m&m's, peanut butter, and dairy free frozen chemicals to be

exact), too many 'sandwiches', and less aggressive workouts. General gluttony.

I did start running outside for real though and signed up for a race

in September. It's only 4 miles, but still. It's a big deal for me!

It may not be a big 'race' as much as it seems like an event where you

run 4 miles and then get free stuff (free stuff is probably my

favorite thing in the world, many of you are aware of this. I am

suuuch a Jew). My dad did point out that it's not really free bc I am

paying to enter the race, but it will feel free when I am there.

I spent a lot of time at the grocery stores here. They all give

amazing samples. I got it down to where I know where the best fruit

samples are, best veggie, best lunchtime. It's pretty ridiculous. I

was kinda bored. It does seem like the month flew by. It's amazing how

quickly I can put on weight. I need to get back to NY just so I have

pants that fit!

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone back in the city, and going out

drinking and walking home!  Such an amazing thing I will never take

for granted.  Also looking forward to not being able to afford food so

I can lose this gut and get back on the dating train.  Until then..
