Boy, was yesterday a weird one. Work was amazingly calm but my body was unhappy with me for not getting enough sleep this week.

When I hung out with my friend, she told me the whole story about how things ended with her fiance. Long story short, he was spotted hugging and holding hands with another woman, and things went down hill from there. I told her the things that I wish people had told me when I had my break up as well as the things I had learned during and after that event. I also told her that she had every right to be angry. She told me that she thought the Other Woman had tempted her fiance and said that wasn’t true; if he was really committed, he couldn’t have been tempted. Thankfully, it looks like she’s found a place to live that isn’t her parent’s place. We also discussed finding a place and living as roommates when my lease is up this summer. I think we’ll discuss that more in the future.

I also invited her over to have dinner and watch Neon Genesis Evangelion on Mondays. I figure she could use something to look forward to each week and I could use a reason to keep my place clean. I’m not trying to pick her up or anything like that, I just know that went I was dealing with my stuff, I would have liked having someone to hang out with regularly and getting away from everything. It wouldn’t hurt for us to spend more time together, if we’re going to be roommates.

I must admit that I was tempted to make a move when she told me they had broken up… For all of five seconds. Years ago, I had a serious crush on her, but that is over. She’s my friend and that’s it. I told her that her and I getting together had ‘trainwreck’ written all over it. She did mention wanting to date again, but I cautioned her to wait at least six months and then start with some casual things first. She agreed that was a good idea. When she talked about how she needed ‘a man,’ I told her ‘Do you need to buy some toys? Do you need to borrow some? I’ve got a nice one that hasn’t been used and you can have it.’ This was said in jest. One, because I’m not giving away sex toys and two, if she really needs one, there’s a sex shop a short walk from my house and she can buy one there.

Oh, god, I haven’t even mentioned all the other crap that’s going on with her. She was banned from eBay because somehow her account got connected to an account that was up to no good, but she has no idea how that could have happened. She called as was told to file a police report, but it makes no sense as she has nothing to do with this fraud account. Added to this, her dog has something wrong with her back and may have to be put down. And, her birthday is this week.
Her life has officially become a country music song. Funny how it isn’t all that humorous when it isn’t happening to me.

Well, I’ve got an apartment to clean. Catch you later, space cowboys.
