Hi, all. I went out with my new buddy from Craigslist.com last night. He was very nice...not exactly what I was expecting, but cool nonetheless. You can tell he's a southerner--he has a residual South Carolina accent and he walked me to my train just to be polite--and about an hour after I got home, I had an email from him saying what a nice time he had and that he hopes that we can do it again sometime next week. He also thanked me for actually listening to what he had to say, which I thought was quite sweet. I get the feeling that most people don't give him that courtesy, which I can't really understand because some of his stories are RIDICULOUSLY funny. There wasn't the spark that I felt with the person in Chicago, but that's not what I was looking for, anyway. I will admit, though...it'd be nice to meet someone here with whom I had that spark. But I guess we're all looking for that, aren't we?
My spirits are better, and have been for the last couple of days. I still miss "Chicago," but that sting is starting to fade. I spoke with my best friend out in Indiana yesterday, which made me happy, and I'm anxiously awaiting her return to the Big Apple. One of her co-stars is moving here in January, and according to her, he's the second-sweetest guy she's ever met (myself, of course, being the sweetest of them all), so hopefully he and I will become friends, too. She seems to think we'd be good friends. It feels good to be expanding my circle of friends...or to at least be attempting to do so.
And now I'm off to get some lunch. I've been on a Taco Bell kick lately--I don't know why. It's not even real Mexican food, but I think it tastes good and it's relatively cheap. Hope you're all having a good day!
