My Theme Song

So, I was tagged in a note on Facebook in which a close friend outlined her friends’ theme songs. Apparently, mine is “Break Your Heart” by Taio Cruz.
I’ve heard the song a few times on the radio but never really paid attention, so I proceeded to listen in. Yeeeeaaaa, I’m a bit offended. That is completely ludicrous.

When asked about my new label, my friend promised me she meant no offense by it. So maybe I am being a bit sensitive. However, I don’t see that my having dated a lot should earn me the title of “heartbreaker”. That’s just kind of silly. Granted, I had my “run through them” mentality for a while when I was younger, but I didn’t know what I wanted in a relationship. Once I passed my mid-twenties though, I realized what I want in a man, and I don’t see the point in wasting my time (or someone else’s) by dating people with whom I can’t see a future. OK, I’ll give you that I’ll date solely for fun sometimes, and I’ll even give you that I do have a tendency to be the person who ends it, but certainly not all the time. I’ve been hurt too, dangit! In any case, why should I feel bad for knowing what I want and not compromising on that? Every time I have compromised it has ended badly, and by badly I mean that I hurt someone. I don’t want to do that to someone, so why even let it get that far?

Yes, I’m offended and a tad saddened that I’m seen as a “heartbreaker” by my friend (and yes, I’m aware of how absolutely ridiculous that sounds). In any case, the song is catchy.

Lazy Coffee Morning

Mmmmmmm, my favorite. And let me add that the person who decided to include a timer on coffee pots is a god/dess, and I worship at his/her caffeine-saturated feet. Nothing quite like waking up to a full pot of freesh coffee sans effort.

Feeling very thoughtful and introspective today, probably due to the conversations I had yesterday/last night while out with the gang.

Things on my mind today:

1. Of course the massive breakdown of the data I’m using for my thesis. In other words, I have no data now and it looks like I may have to start over again. Big fat “yuck” here.
2. Work. Enough said there. Work.
3. My seeming cluelessness about the opposite sex. I had a long conversation with a friend last night, and at the end of it he asked me out. Now, we’ve never had a romantic relationship, and I’ve never thought about him in that way. When I told him I didn’t think it was a good idea, he was very offended. Is there something about my demeanor that screams “I’m flirting with you”? I smile because I’m a happy person, I hug my friends because I love them, and I’ll spend time talking to people because I genuinely care about what’s going on with them. Sure, it’s always flattering to be asked out by a very good-looking man, but I’m not leading someone on by just talking to them. I think….
4. I feel like I need a vacation. About every 3 months I get stir-crazy and need to get away for a bit. Last time I went hiking by myself for a few days, but that probably wasn’t a good idea considering the psychos that seem to hang out on the Appalachian Trail these days. I’ve noticed this feeling comes after a very “social” couple of weeks. Maybe the cabin next weekend, or possibly a meditation weekend at St. Ignatius. Hmmmm….sounds fantastic.
5. That thing that shall remain nameless in the blog ether. I think I’m done.
