valentine's day came and went without any sort of notice on my part. yeah, i noticed the flower shop was busy. hell, i even talked to my boss and coworkers about their romantic plans. but it was not even a blip on radar. it didn't hurt to be alone- but maybe thats because i wasn't honestly alone. i spent the night with friends.

so what else is new? i asked a girl i have a crush on to be my date to an event. she can't go, and i'm still trying to figure out if its a blow off or honesty. she actually did communicate to me that normally the event that is in the way of her being my date is something that she'd blow off, but can't because it's the last show of her friend's band and they are breaking up or something. rejection never felt so good. i guess. although i must say part of me is relieved because i was worried if we'd have things to talk about, and god knows i don't actually need that event to be more nerve-wracking* than it could possibly be.

BUT, at least asking said girl out has opened up our almost non-existent lines of communication. she seems very reserved, which i wouldn't expect, as she is a performer. you know?

what else? oh yeah, i think one of the gallery owners i know is trying to get me to go out on a date with him. that'll be interesting...to try and get out of, i mean.

oh yeah, you know who calls me....a lot? the blood donation people. they call me more than anyone i know. weird.

*the ex and her lady will be in attendance. 'nuff said about that.
