After a whole month of not blogging, do I come back to blog out of some sense of commitment or obligation? Who knows? I am here, nonethless, so it's time to make the best of it.

Life has been a series of interesting curve balls. This is not to say that anything too terribly interesting has happened, just that life has been an interesting place to live lately, at least for a hermit.

Two weeks ago, I got together with my best girl friend, Lauren, who took me out to brunch at the Plaza. It was wonderful. They have excellent food there and it was great to see her again. She has a new beau and seems to be very happy with him. She actually taught me something about myself. Something that my friend Brian was telling me months ago. The reason why I don't have a significant other is because I don't do anything outside of work, in a social environment, that is an activity. Sure, I do things outside of work, but they are not communal things.

And therein lies the problem. Brian recommended that I feed my inner geek and attend some convention or somesuch occasion to find someone like myself. The problem with that (although it is probably my best bet) is the fact that I am not sure I would be able to find someone there who was close enough to be a lunatic without actually being one, for my tastes. I absolutely don't want an all out lunatic (someone TOO comitted to the genres, or someone who is just crazy -- done the latter before) and I don't want someone who isn't commited enough, who would look down at me or fail to appreciate the things that I do. My likes and interests are diverse and strange enough, though, that I do believe that the only place I would be able to find someone would be in one of these places. Either that, or pay for someone, which I not only couldn't afford, but wouldn't want anyway.

Amazing how that tangent just sort of came out of nowhere, huh?

On to other news. For those of you who are unaware, and I'm sure there are a few of you, a nice confection company has released EVERY FLAVORED JELLY BEANS, as in Harry Potter. In addition to wonderful mainstays like Blueberry and Cotton Candy, there are also Sardines, Dirt, Earwax, Grass, Booger and Vomit. The worst part is that they truly taste as advertised. How do I know? I had some. Accidentally, I partook of the Vomit flavor and couldn't take anymore. However, I plan on buying some more and unleashing them on an unsuspecting public. (insert evil laugh here)

Past that, not a great deal going on. At least that I can think of now. I have a feeling that I will be back later with more. Especially about my ex-girlfriend. *sigh*
