tuesday, i started an online conversation with a young woman (roughly 3ish yrs younger than me) that, odds are, things would not work out with. but, she bears a resemblance to athena. i messaged her, tried to be polite and indicated that i'd like to chat with her about her writing while avoiding anything that could be construed as me trying to pick her up. she replied and pointed out that i list "do not want children" and she does, so we're not a potential couple. then she called attention to my comment about not wanting anymore female friends (as i have plenty to begin with).
so, with that in the open, i admitted that b/c of the distance btwn us and that i wasn't completely interested in her (i used softer language, of course) that i agreed we weren't compatible ~ but i was still interested in chatting with her, if she'd be interested in that as well. we traded another 1/2doz messages talking about writing, reading, influences, styles, life stories, etc. maybe i have room for one more friend...
today (thurs) i have a lunch time date with the violinist, my 3rd phd candidate of the past 6mos. i'm kind of looking forward to it. seems like she's potentially bright. may be a combination of "artsy" and "academic". she's cute. plus, it's another chance to go to the conservatory during the day. so, that's a thing.
what else? i'm still missing the fuck out of a^4. i tried falling asleep recently, and all i could think about was her and princess (alternating btwn the two).... *sigh*
