catlady's to-do list:

south african anthropology professor: ask me tomorrow...

Ha. Interesting.

Ah. But, at least he's still in play.

ok, pseudo-neologism. what would we call it other than 'term' or 'expression'?

Hehheh.

So far your list is only 3, so I doubt it ;)

cute philadelphia consumator: ....???

You're always looking out. And I was going to say something about Mr. Springfield and your passionate prose pertaining to his.. wang.

Or maybe he's on the fantasy to do list.

rick is on my if-i-would-do-any-59-year-old-i-would-do-you list...

@art: september, actually. i'm not in nyc most of october and it's my 'before i leave nyc' list.

shit, i had better get moving...

from what little i know about baseball, i hope my luck is better than the mets'...historically, at least, i know they have not fared well...

or the Blue Jays ...

I can't willingly include a team that wore clown hats, J.

This is exactly the way I thought this thread would turn out.

ok, that part was not part of the analogy.

I always do, although I'm not sure you're that much of an underdog here :)

well, it depends on how we are viewing the game.

yes, tonight, i am most likely the only one in the game, but i'm not sure that actually increases my odds for success. the anthropologist is an angsty guy who dumped me after about 4 dates because i was pretty sure i didn't want to have children.

@jas: now that you mention it...

30-year-old psych grad student who clearly wants me (or so i thought) but is clearly too scared of me: fail

unless i run into him on the street drunk, which i am wont to do. then he'll be embarrassed as usual. but still, possibly drunk enough that i can take advantage of him.

but this will have to be a chance meeting. which reduces my chances all the more.

@sodoff: you're right! goddamned sneaky boys! i'll be on my guard...

@-j.: am i starting to qualify yet?

@purl: heh.

coming from a woman who doesn't do so bad for herself, i am more than flattered.

@-j.: fine. check in with me at the end of the month and i'll prove my mettle. or my failure. we shall see...

lt;3

i was like, 'wow, It;3?'

also, i will try not to say this every time i am on here when you are (which isn't so often anyway, because i am not around so much), but...i will this time. for all to see:

Aw, geez :/ Well...I am too. ♥

It was the peer pressure.

so, i'm here. deduce what you will.

so. south african anthropologist: jury's still out.

strike one: he stopped drinking a year ago.

so much for my plan to get him drunk and take advantage of him.

still, i had a very lovely time and he wants to see me again before i leave. which makes it all the worse, i suppose.

sigh.

with some guys, yes. with this guy, no. or at least i think not. guess i really didn't try, but...

i guess i knew not to.

i've dated a few recovering alcoholics before, but this one is not. he's just a recovering depressive on some meds that don't mix well with alcohol. thank god *i'm* not on those meds!

@purl: ha. well, i doubt they are the same ones. his combined w/alcohol make his depression worse.

yeah. don't know if this will happen. but he does seem very keen on seeing me again in the coming three weeks that i am here. but...yeah. not sure i want to just throw myself at him, and short of that i'm doubtful anything will happen.

which might really be for the best, in the end. cause i still really like him.

actually, won't it be easier in asia? all those male europeans traveling alone...?

and how? perhaps i need to make a *special* blog just for that...

i don't believe i am doing any actual dating now either...

i see what you mean, in that they are 'planned.' yeah, they are planned. but not as real dates. just as going out for drinks...

in other words, i have just discovered who from all indications appears to want to be added to my list.

i mean, he *poked* me on facebook, after all.

codename: zionist guy. now you know the reason the relationship was so brief.

none.

damn it!
