Today I’m taking up cigarettes.
Today was okay. It’s misting outside. I got up at 630 am after going to sleep at 4 am and although I took a nap yesterday to partially account, today I haven’t. I am debating whether or not to go to a party in college park with some old friends. I probably should. Baltimore is killing me.
Yesterday I was seemingly the talk of a couple boys shacking up in the bathroom to hide from me. Today I was forwardly asked by a would-be mentor of mine out on a date and when I told him I was busy not only did he take it as a blatant refusal (which is was to a degree) but also grounds to make me feel guilty. He even added, “is the guilt working?” He has a 14 year old son. Please kill me.
I also went on another okcupid date. I was worried I looked a mess but this guy had a black eye so it evened out. It was fun, he was decent, he ran off to go on another date promptly scheduled after mine and I walked home from the art museum in the misty rain alone. But I did run into a friend who I actually do like in the city on the way back, and the lady at my favorite sushi bar gave me free dumplings.
Relationships are such a pain in the ass.
