I cancelled my date. I know it's stupid, but... What are you going to do? I left it open anyhow.. with much reassurance of a later date. I just can't go there yet. Not yet. Anyhow, I've been busy. I've been reading a lot lately — for those who care.
I just read Rushdie's Fury — great read indeed. A bit dark perhaps, but a great read — and somehow very appropriate right now. What shall I read next? I picked up Böll's The Clown, but I haven't quite allowed myself to delve into it yet. I don't think it's time. Any recommendations? I'm very picky about my books. Maybe I need a library date? Anybody up for it? I think I might be able to handle THAT.
Shit! I miss talking. Bullshit. And important things. I miss conversation. Not about men. Not about drinks. Not even about life, per se. Just talking. Where are all the good conversationalists? Where!?
My "waxing-woman" — whatever you call the woman who does your brows (who, by the way is one hot chick) — actually suggested I should start a book club. A bit odd, perhaps, but it might be time for something odd.
I have to say, though, I'm not big on clubs and shit — just never been a joiner by nature. And somehow, I can't imagine finding the right group of people out there to do this with, but.. again.. if anybody is up for it.. well.. let me know.. if it sounds interesting enough maybe it'll actually get off the ground.
Madness... just me putting myself out there in some crazy bloggish way. (Urgh.. next thing you know I'll be cyber-dating. Shoot me, please!)

There is nothing foolish in giving yourself more time when that is what you feel you need. You certainly do not need a man to encounter good conversation. In fact, I find that it is usually counterproductive to try to find a man that is a great conversationalist and a great everything else in one date. You end up not enjoying the date. Too much pressure.
Take some time, enjoy yourself. Find a girl group. We are all about the talking.
first visit on your personal blog, but...
your first line "I cancelled my date. I know it's stupid, but... " it's something interesting to talk about. Why? A date it's not a marriage promises, it's a way to know the world with the eyes of someone else, could be interesting or not, but don't doing it, it's... stupid as you said.
Fix a date and try to know more about the others and you'll see better inside you, that's what I think.
No estoy de acuerdo. A veces hay que esperar. Especialmente si terminaste una relacion hace muy poco tiempo. Creo que es fundamental reconcer a ti misma antes de intentar conocer a otro.
I recommend either "Love in the Time of Cholera", in translation or not, or "Tess of the D'Urbervilles." The former is tropical enough to counteract the cold autumn and "Tess" is wonderfully depressing. XOXO.
Hey! I was serious about that book club idea. I'd even do it with you.
And the term is "esthetician."
I can relate with you. I have been in a position where talking with a certain person has been missed. The conversation does not have to contain meaning or even make sense. Just having a person that understands and can relate with you can mean so much.
I enjoy reading your blog.
I know you were serious, Jen. I'm trying to muster up some interest here, woman! But as you can see, it doesn't seem to be working. And thanks... esthetician.. esthetician... you fabulous esthetician! Sorry.
No, it doesn't seem to be working. Don't people read anymore?
And thanks for the compliments. A girl can always use those! Fabulous is one of my favorite words...
