| Saturday August 10th 2002 I went rollerblading this morning and talked to not one but two attractive young ladies! Okay - so I only tried unsuccessfully to give the first one directions ... and I only ended up speaking to the second since I almost ran into her ... but that still counts right? I'm a manly man today, woohoo! The one I really wanted to talk to was the one I saw reading under a tree by herself in the park by the beach. Very cool; somebody I can relate to. Unfortunately there is no where to start a conversation in this situation that I can see; I'm on my rollerblades on the paved pathway, and she's over there on her blanket on the grass - and for all I know she's keeping an eye on her family while they're down on the beach. It was a pretty busy beach. So what would you have done? Drop me an e-mail and tell me, I need an education. I bought my DVD player today - finally! - most excellent! Now I have something to watch besides whatever's on while I'm moping around my apartment feeling sorry for myself. Isn't that great? :P I wasn't too taken with the salesman. He tried selling me some kind of internet deal I didn't want. Then he tried selling me some kind of high-fangled video cable I didn't want either. And don't call me 'buddy', buddy. Just gimme the dang DVD player and show me the exit. Reading back over my entries, I'm pleased to see that even on my really downer days I didn't sound like I was having a downer day. That's good - wouldn't want to think I was depressing anybody, and it always makes me feel better exhibiting my thoughts to the world for some reason. Ya'll really care, deep down, dontcha? I know ya do!! What I really want to do tonight is go check out the fireworks festival grand finale over at the Hull Casino. The idea of going alone is somewhat lacking in fun, however. I will instead most likely end up doing whatever it is 'the guys' want to do, barring the possibility of my fabulous powers of coercion talking them my way. I heard the second last show Wednesday night from my apartment. My first thought was 'cool, major thunderstorm on the way'. I'm a fan of thunderstorms. My second thought was 'hmm, somebody blew up Parliament Hill' since it was coming from the downtown direction. My third thought was I'm a paranoid idiot and I should look up festival info on the net. So we'll see what I end up doing - place your bets. |
