All men should wear tags with their Age, Sexual Orientation and Relationship Status.

Facebook has failed me for first time.
It didn't accurately describe his relationship status.
And since i apparently couldn't rely on him for that information, i had to find out a month too late.

she's fantastic. polite, funny, and well dressed
she thinks my eyes are pretty, and is madly in love with my shoes

i'm madly in love with her boyfriend.
and i want to be her best friend.

i still haven't been told.
but when she introduced herself there was this assumption that she had been mentioned;
a hope that she had been spoken of, and that i would recognize her name.

she hadn't. i didn't

So, the question is left out there in the open SCREAMING, "Why didn't he just tell you?!??!?!"

And i really don't know the answer.
maybe he just sees me has his alt-bro buddy
just one of the guys who comes over to smoke
that he doesn't mind sharing his drink and watching movies with.

or maybe i was to assume that a guy that well-spoken, intelligent and funny
was already accounted for.

To comfort myself i look to my lovely new funnel hoodie, and the fantastic black sheath dress that has left me so poor that i can't afford to eat.

that and foreign sci-fi films.
what would i do without you La Jettea?

(500) Days Of Summer.

I cannot WAIT for this movie.
It looks beautiful.
Regina & The Smiths?
Zooey Deschanel?


that is all.

I live my life in the grey areas.

I've had this so long that it doesn't seem like it came out in 2009
Nevertheless, it is sooo good, and I can't wait to see him in April.
3. Set 'Em Wild, Set 'Em Free - Akron/Family
"River" is FANTASTIC.
4. Blood Bank - Bon Iver
Down modded due to ep status, otherwise it would be number three on my list

I blame christianity.
