meet my soulmate

i think i may have found something by pure chance while not looking at all…

i’m shocked by it… only time will tell…

i watched rushmore again, and i think i’m looking for my margaret yang…

we just broke up… sigh…

i really f’d this one up, but it wasn’t working anyway…

well… i wonder if this relationship has run its course…

long distance is so hard… it’s no way to start…

unfortunately, there’s so much uncertainty in life…

so, we’ve subsequently spoken on the phone and things are still going well, and we decided to travel and have an actual date. my schedule couldn’t work out to travel, so in two weeks, she’s actually traveling out here for the day…

it’s really exciting, i can’t wait to see her… or meet her, as it were, but it feels like i already know her…

wow…

she called me today, and left a message, and although as some have suggested i should maybe be a bit warier, i feel i have some experience on my side in these matters… but i’m really quite taken with someone i’ve not met, and even though there may be some element of projection, i feel there’s much more to it than…

certainly a same-day, round-trip flight to LA for waffles and conversation is well worth its weight in dollars to answer the question of whether there’s that spark that ignites all of our affairs of the heart…

i’m taken with the romanticness of it, as well… half the problem, perhaps…

so, i tried this internet dating site that matches you on personality, and for a couple of months, i wasn’t being matched with anyone (i’m an eccentric, i guess…), but i met someone through it a couple of weeks ago….

we haven’t met, and she lives pretty far away (re: 400 miles), but i have butterflies in my stomach, and it’s been a long time since i could say that…

so pragmatism be damned… living requires a toss of the dice every now and then, doesn’t it? shame to live on the safe, perhaps…

apparently, phoenix fell from #3 to #15 or so on forbes list of top cities for singles…

that’s okay, i don’t think soulmates and singles really have too much in common… just takes one, afterall….

in phoenix now, and it’s quite a bit different than the quiet part of minnesota i’ve been stuck in, so i’m a little hopeful that things will start looking up in the romance department…

but law school is tough, and i’m not exactly willing to deal with anything frivolous, so i wonder if anything will really happen, or if i’ll just be too picky, too busy, and too focused on my own things to really look around…

oh, god… maybe this is my pathology….

but i’m excited about the prospect of a move to phoenix…

new people, new places, new things… a drastically different environment from where i am now—closer to home in some respects, and much further in others…

but an interesting prospect, and the notion that I might actually meet some potential partners… well, just icing…
