My dating horror stories.

i have had some pretty bad dates, but tonight i literally had the worst one ever.

it was my second date with this guy i met on tuesday at the pool. last night was our first date and we played tennis, got smoothie king, then went to his house and watched a movie-Aliens. like we really watched it and talked about it. he kissed me at the end of the night and that was literally it.

tonight, we went to a burger joint, then were going back to his place watch Predators because this weekend we planned to watch Aliens versus Predators. So i was sitting on the couch putting on the movie and he says he has to go to the bathroom. I was like ok, whatever, that’s normal. 

he comes back 5 minutes later wearing ONLY BOXER BRIEFS and sits down next to me like everything is normal. i yelled at him and was like “WTF is wrong with you, man?!?!?” he said he was just trying to “expedite the timetable for having sex”. then i left. i have known this guy for like 72 hours. what is wrong with people!

so, today was my second day at my new job. i’m freaking exhausted. i had to take care of 12 four year olds. by myself and i’m freaking exhausted! however, i am always going and chasing them and stuff so the day goes by kinda fast. 

but in these 2 days i’ve worked 16 hours and tomorrow is another 8 hours. so i will be making bank working at this place, and it looks like i will be able to pay for Boston, LA, and my car, rent, groceries, school stuff, and booze. 

but i am really freaking tired. 

made friends with some people at my apt complex while i went to the pool today. who knew you just had to be open to talking to people to meet friends? they asked me to play pool volleyball, i did, now i am hanging out with them tonight. yay i made friends

also, my new boss TEXTED me to ask me to work tomorrow. super unprofessional considering it’ll be my first day. but i’ll be working a 9 hour day. 9 hours! i’ll be making bank by july for my LA and Boston trips.

it’s 90 degrees and humid out. i sweated out every ounce of water in my body walking from my apt to the mailbox. 

is it too much to ask to have a roommate that is quiet at night on weeknights, doesn’t smoke pot or do anything illegal out of our apartment, pays bills on time, doesn’t eat my food, doesn’t give our apartment key to her friends so they can come over while she isn’t home, and doesn’t leave a gross mess in the kitchen so we don’t get roaches? 

apparently it is. it’s all i want. we are adults. you should pay me the $15 for internet on time, not 20 days late, not explode ramen all over our counters and not clean it up, not let your roommates open my food then eat it all, not smoke in the apartment, and be a responsible adult. please. it’s not too much to ask. 

i want to visit my family in New England sooooo bad. i beg my mother every single time i talk to her on the phone. i want to go to Block Island, RI, Jamestown, RI, our cabin in Maine, visit Boston, and go on our family boat. It’s all i freaking want. I can’t wait to have a salary after grad school and visit my family more often. I will even grin and bear it and visit New York
