Sylvana, the one next to the other one

Read this and this.

Shit. Now I actually have to make the effort to post on this damn blog.

Oh sure, I started out pretty active, and I've had some fun posting the occasional ode to the quirky things that life tosses my way, but until recently I didn't give much thought about getting all serious or anything.

It's kind of like that relationship you had when you were just out of college. Sure, you had to get a job and be all responsible and everything, but did that have to translate to the girl you asked out on Saturday night? I mean, you spent a bunch of time with her at first, but couldn't you just let that turn into the occasional dalliance and then not worry about her for, like, a few weeks?

I guess I should have learned my lesson back then, because the answer then was, "No, you immature egocentric shithead. You actually do have to treat me like a human being."

Who knew blogs were like girlfriends? I'll tell you who knew: Sylvana knew.

Sylvana is like that other girl you meet when you're trying to get in the pants of the girl sitting not quite demurely at the bar. You know: The really cool one sitting next to the slutty one. The one you actually like talking to. The one who knows just what kind of a nightmare of a trainwreck you are heading toward, but the one who is just too amused, too cruel, and too kind to let you know. So after the blog, er, girlfriend gets all hurt that you've been ignoring her, Sylvana is the one who calls and quite succinctly tells you, "You are being an immature egocentric shithead."

Thanks, Sylvana. I guess you're right. I need to either commit or just admit I'm not cut out for a serious relationship.

I'm not sure which way this is going to go at this point. But I guess I kind of do like dallying with writing in this blog. So let's make a temporary commitment. You know, a friendship ring or something. I'm sure if I fuck it all up Sylvana will be there at the end telling all my friends, "Well, I could have predicted that was going to happen."
