Brian Andreas.

sad day...

welp, it's been confirmed. blake, from dancelife, is gay. no doubt about it. i was totally holding out that his sexy self was just really stylish and spoke kinda cute. i mean, he's from toronto....they do things different up there. and that accent will get you everytime. i texted alex and let her know that, in fact, blake is gay. she told me not to underestimate her gaydar. i told her not to overestimate mine. which could be kind of a problem, actually. i think i tend to stay away from all things labeling, such as, "my gay friend Joe" or "that black guy Chris"...it just annoys me. it's kind of like, "oh that fat girl melanie". who wants to be categorized by one specific characteristic? i'm beginning to realize this may be a problem in my dating world though. and looking back, there may have been some questionables.
whatever, at least they wore nice jeans.
i'm still maintaining blake's ultra sexiness though...anyone who can move themselves the way he does and be that big of a drama baby (I bet you thought i was going to say queen, didn't you?) is okay in my book.

i feel though if i start counting out the questionables, the only thing i'm left with is the potential for overgrown lame douchebags.
take this story for example...

A friend of mine at school last week told me that she has someone she would like to hook me up with. Obviously I asked her if he was a douchebag. To which, obviously, she replied how unbelievably wonderful he is. Oh yeah? If he's so wonderful, why isn't he dating anyone? (I could keep this game going forever.) So then she says (and you know what's coming), "Oh he had a really serious girlfriend who he recently broke up with".
And there it is.
I was like, "Yeah, I'll pass thanks." She goes, "No, no. It was like seven months ago and he hasn't been with anyone since!"
As if it could get worse.
Clearly I replied with, "Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt. Tell him to give me a call in 2 years. And by two years I mean in two years that he hasn't spoken/seen/fucked/crawled back to her like a baby." Thinking it would end there, she followed up with, "Yeah, but he's really hot."
And she might have a point there, because I've seen her husband (yes you read husband correctly) and he's super hot. And a chemical engineer.
But then that idea went to shit immediately as she said, "I'll call you Saturday night. They're all doing a bar crawl through Center City and you can meet up."
And scene.

So in conclusion, why am I in denial of Blake being gay? Why am I always in denial of gay guys being gay? I'll tell you why...perhaps if some straight guys could get it together enough to attract me, we wouldn't be having this problem.
Although, I'm beginning to re-think this whole chemical engineer idea. mommy would like some financial security in her life. kidding! as if i'm that superficial.
clearly, i am only re-considering because he's supposedly hot. and so i'm the rebound. big deal. i RULE at being the re-bound. i've perfected it, in fact. i'm going to start tallying. This will be number five. Love potion!

people are fucking lame, man.

i spent six hours in a cafe in rittenhouse today. six long hours of people watching, contemplating, judging....errr, i mean studying. i finally called my friend annie and told her to meet me because what's the point of making fun of people in your head when you could be doing it with someone else instead, right? that kept me occupied for some time. ironically, i was reading the theory and practice of group psychotherapy and how non-judgmental attitudes along with respect cultivate successful process.
whatever. who said i had to play social worker 24 hours a day?

speaking of which, yesterday i pretty much lost my shit at work. really, the last thing i want to be doing on a friday night is waiting tables. there are oh so many other things that are greatly more enticing. like doing laundry for example.
i got seated with a party of ten. you know, typical family. a grandfather asking for an "old-fashioned manhattan straight up" (in an accent to boot), some 50 year old fat women who were probably nurses, some kids my age, a five year-old. you know, the usual. so i grat-ed them, obvi, since i don't play any other way. then they left me another $35 on top of the gratuity which i thought was pretty damn sweet given that most people suck. effectively made my night. cut to three hours later and it's 1am and i'm finally getting ready to leave and bill motions to me to hold on as he's on the phone. he hangs up and proceeds to ask me for the $35 because one of the women called back (at 1AM, mind you) to tell him that she didn't realize that a gratuity had already been included.
i kid you not.
can i get a 'TACKY' anywhere up in here? 'Who does that?', you ask?
Fucking tacky people.
forget that i catered to your every need, i'm fucking exhausted and just trying to pay my way through grad school. thank you, you've now effectively ruined my night.

and if that wasn't enough, some entitled, privileged, spoiled (and i'm sure heinously ugly) Penn bitch thought it was okay to be condescending to me on the phone. Do you know who i am? Two bitches can play at this game. No, sending out two small frozen yogurts halfway down the block in less than an hour and fifteen minutes isn't "too difficult"....but clearly walking down the street and picking it up in 10 is. Fuck you. I hope you walk in front of the 21 bus and die. Seriously.

I'm totally hating life.


shit. i should have ridden the Penn bus down to lame-ass D.C. today and protested against the war outside of Capitol Hill. I'm sure that would have appropriately channeled some pent-up aggression.

Roseann, is your B.D.S. (Bush Derangement Syndrome) related to your other mental issues?

I mean, really, what is there not to love about Rosie O'Donnell? I wish there was a way to work for her. I'm really tempted to send my resume. (what resume? please, that's number 71 on my To Do list).
Then again, Google is looking pretty enticing these days. Free lunches, on-site massage and yoga, shoreline running trails, snacks to get you through the day (i'm not kidding, those are their exact words), company matched 401K, on-site dry cleaning, paid maternity AND paternity leave with up to $500 for take-out meals during the first four weeks that they are home with their new baby and free childcare when they return to work. Say whaaa??? Shit, that's almost reason enough to have kids.
This is one of their Top 10 Reasons to Work at Google:
"Work and play are not mutually exclusive. It is possible to code and pass the puck at the same time."

does anyone need a social worker? Anyone at all?
