A good result all round?

Well. I was in something of a huff yesterday when I posted last, as you can probably tell. I am pleased to report that moments after I posted he responded - basically saying, look, I'm still stuck in [insert tiny town name here], I know it's getting late; perhaps we should postpone. I'm really sorry. My response was to gnash my teeth and wail slightly, fling my pyjamas and toothbrush into a bag and hurtle off down the motorway to my lovely best mate's house for an evening of copious alcomahol consumption and drunking singing and bellydancing, which did make me feel considerably better. During the proceedings Shiny D (like Sunny D, but with more facial piercings) texted to ask if he could make it up to me by taking me for lunch on Sunday - today. Being of sound mind and full of Jack Daniels I somehow managed to restrain myself and didn't respond until this morning, wherein I told him I'd be in [insert large city name here] at lunchtime to buy my dad's birthday present, and he could drive and meet me there.

And, he did! I'm a bit...well, the jury's a little bit out. He was very nice. I was so geared up to be cross with him and for him to be a bit of a cock that I think I was taken aback a little by him being so thoroughly pleasant and, well, polite. I've got all the way to thirty years old and never had my chair pulled out for me in a restaurant, and actually it was rather nice. I think I was expecting lightning to strike or something, and it didn't; he was just a nice, normal looking type, very funny, nice hat. Hard to read. I can't really tell what he thought of me, to be honest. I sent him a message about an hour ago saying thank you for lunch, hope you had a nice time, and haven't heard back, but eh. Doesn't mean anything really does it.

Anyway here - have a little giggle. This is my 'love horoscope' for the week:

For the Week of Feb 2nd, 2009 -- The Moon in your emotional sign brings your feelings to the surface this weekend. If you're vulnerable and don't want others to know, you might want to avoid crowds. Time alone or with one safe and caring person can help you hone in on what you need and what has to be changed to put you on a more rewarding relationship path.

Uh huh.

In other news, you wait years for a nice man to come along and then approximately fifty take interest at once. Egads. I need to log into Match.com and respond to the six - six - NEW emails I had while I was out of town for precisely 27 hours. I mean COME ON BOYS, I'm short and fat and generally quite antisocial. Right...let's go and see what's what. If there's any exciting ones I shall report back. In the meantime, I'd like to announce that my hangover has apparently caught up with me approximately ten hours later than anticipated. It's karma, I tell you.
