singlegirl's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have a Computer, Have no News Of course now that I have an easily accessible, working computer nothing much has happened today. It's my offical last week day of unemployment. I wanted to sleep in late and have fun, but I was up at 7:45 and got a flu shot instead. It was crazy at the clinic. I got there a half hour early, and already 100 people were in front of me. All three major news teams were there and when I left, there were probably 300 more people in line. And I might be on the news, which will suck because I didn't shower or wear much makeup to get my shot. Oh well. I can't decide if I'm going to get to see Jeremy or not this weekend. I'm supposed to leave early tomorrow morning so we can workout at his gym. However I heard that he got about 4 inches of snow and the highway I take to his place is "treacherous" - I love how the news exaggerates everything. Anyway, I'll probably have to leave Sunday night since I have to work on Monday morning. It's only a 2 hour drive, but leaving at 6 am on Monday doesn't sound fun. So, if the roads are bad I might just not go. He won't like it, but I don't want to drive on bad roads just for a day and a half. I'm such a baby about driving through snow, but I haven't had much experience. My parents are so stupid - when I was in high school and home for college, I wasn't allowed to drive in snow or other bad driving conditions, so now as a "responsible adult" I am really bad (and nervous) about driving through snow. My parents now realize the error of their ways, but the damage has been done:) I'll just feel badly if Jeremy ends up driving down here. Oh well, we'll figure it out. Plus we could take a weekend off. We haven't gone more than 5 days without seeing each other since October. Maybe I should try the "absence makes the heart grow fonder" theory. He did write me a sweet text message today. It said, "I am missing you right now. I love you with all my heart and soul. XOXO." He's such a romantic dork - you would never guess he is 27. You know what else I find strange? He doesn't own any porn, really enjoy strip clubs, or talk about how hot other women are. I thought those behaviors were preprogrammed in most men. When I asked him about it he said that he doesn't think women should be objectified. I would think he was gay, but he's not. He really really really enjoys sex (he is actually one of the horniest guys I have ever met), and thinks women like Angelina Jolie and Salma Hyaek (no idea how to spell that) are extremely hot. Which I guess doesn't mean he's not gay, but I really don't think he is. It's just odd to date a man who genuinely isn't obsessed with naked women. Just this woman. It's nice though. Do you know what I did? I dyed my hair. Not a big deal but I did it for the wrong reasons. I think I mentioned earlier that Jeremy is attracted to dark haired women. He has never shown an attraction to any blond actresses or musicians (he thinks Britney is foul - haha), so I thought it was odd that he was attracted to me. I asked him about this and he agreed. So what does my hair look like now? Yup, it's almost black. I went from 26 years of being a dirty blond with light highlights (almost 100% natural) to being very dark. My hair doesn't look very good, but I can't afford to go back to my natural color. It's not awful, but it's just not me. It makes my green eyes stand out. For awhile I convinced myself that I looked like Scarlet O'Hara, but I really do look better as a blond. I was hoping that I would look as good as Mandy Moore when she went from a blond to a brunette. Oh well. Jeremy says he likes it (and so does everyone else) but you never know if people are being for real or not. I don't like it, so I'm going back to blond as soon as I can. If Jeremy doesn't like it, then he can find a different girl to date. I was watching Dr. Phil today and he said that the most successful marriages are with those couples who get married between 6 months and 18 months of dating. He said that if you wait longer than that then it's like one or both of the people had to be convinced that marrying the other person was the right thing to do. The longer you wait, the higher the odds that one or both people did not really want to marry. Dammit, Jeremy and I have been together for 2 months, so we only have 16 months of prime marriage time left. Is 1.5 carots big or not? Why do I know nothing about engagement rings? He's been engaged before. That's what size the rock was. I can't imagine it was that big. He was 24. He ex-fiance wants to get back with him. He was going to visit her during Thanksgiving (plans were made before we met), but he obviously canceled them. She's called while I was there before and she asks about me and if he's happy or not. I would be threatened by her but she doesn't sound cute. First off he hates her - she was a "controlling bitch" and actually pawned the engagement ring a week after they broke up. Second, she lives far away (Florida vs Indiana), and thirdly, she sounds ugly. Not sure why Jeremy dated her. She wears Birkenstocks year round. No she's not gay, but she is bisexual (which is actually in her favor since Jeremy got to sleep with her and her best female friend). She also didn't wear makeup, brush her hair, or get dressed up. Not that looks are everything, but you want to date someone who makes an effort for you. They've known each other since high school and she's still close to his parents. She calls them and asks about me. I haven't met them yet, but I feel pressure now. I feel like I have to get them to like me more than they like her. Whatever...it really isn't that big of a deal to me. I've known about her since day one and this is the first time I mentioned her (I think). Well, for not having anything to say, I sure talked a lot. I might be back tomorrow or not until Monday (depending on the weather of course). 3:17 p.m. - December 05, 2003 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
