I might be crazy, but that's not the same as insane

I. Love. Wednesdays.

I do.

Wednesdays are great, because I don't teach. As I've already mentioned, my Tuesdays and Thursdays are crazy days. I literally come home a complete zombie. Teaching those two 100-minute classes back to back is just killer. I'm usually on campus for 10-11hrs on those days. I come home, I make dinner, and then I sit somewhere barely able to move or form complete sentences.

I love Wednesdays. Wednesdays are the best.

I haven't been posting much lately for a few reasons. I've been trying to get my life in order, which hasn't really left me with much to post about. I still have the fatigue thing going on, but I have an appointment to see a doc on Friday. Hopefully he can figure something out.

I had coffee with a guy from Friendster last week. He recently moved down here from Boston like me. I've already mentioned the bevy of emails I get from less-than-desirable men on Friendster and Myspace, so once I got one from someone who was a) able to write in complete sentences and b) in the same city as me, as opposed to Zimbabwe, I decided to say yes to coffee. He was a nice guy; we had an easy enough time making conversation.

After coffee he wanted to go get dinner. I wasn't hungry. Really, I wasn't. So then he suggested getting a drink. We walked around the corner, ordered two beers and an appetizer. We finished up, and I thought it was about time for me to get on home. It was last Wednesday, so I had to prepare myself for the looming Thursday. He suggested going to get dinner again. The dude didn't want to go home, I guess. I politely declined and headed home, but not before he could ask me to go to the mall with him on Friday so he could buy new sunglasses.

Seriously?

Isn't that a girlfriend kind of outing? I told him I'd let him know, knowing full well that I would say no (which I did).

He emailed me Sunday night to ask me out for dinner and a movie tonight. I declined that invitation as well, because I wanted today to recoup. I suggested in my reply that perhaps we could do it as a matinee thing this weekend.

He was a nice guy, but I didn't feel any initial attraction. I don't mind being friendly with him, but I don't want to lead him on either.

I'm not sure if I don't want to date right now, or if I'm just not in the mood to be around people who don't know me very well. It's probably a combination of both.

I just haven't been in the mood to put on the whole show that you do when you're just getting to know someone. I always try to "be myself," but you know what I mean (I hope).
