I want to do a little writing before bed tonight, I think. What am I going to write? Not sure. Possibilities are plenty. But then again, even when that is the case, sometimes the mind can go blank.

This is some great funny stuff. I ran across it last night. Apparently, the "project" had apparently come to a quick conclusion. But reading through some of the archives (it's best to start at the beginning, when the content began a month ago), I wasn't sure whether to laugh or groan at much of it. I think did both. So much of it sounds so much like me, it ain't even funny (or shouldn't be, anyway).

A little sample, to whet people's appetites.

After the grocery store I went next door to Starbucks. As a coffee shop next to a large grocery store, they get a good amount of business. So I grabbed some coffee and sat at the table nearest the door, facing it. I was one of three customers in the store, all male, so I started reading the book I had just purchased.

As each person came into the store, I looked up and tried to make eye contact. For most people I gave a smile and a nod. There was one woman who came through that gave me a warm smile as she passed. She was wearing a perfume or body lotion that was absolutely intoxicating. As she ordered, I tried to think of a way to approach her. 'Wow. You smell good' seemed way too weird, but before I could come up with something she left.

Lest readers come to interpret my use of this quotation as a sign that I am in the bowels of hopelessness and dispair due to failure in the dating department, I will now dispell such notions. (Or... well, at least I might concoct something resembling a convincing illusion that I might not be completely hopeless. In fact, things might be looking really good. Maybe great even. Or are they?)

What am I saying? I don't know. Here's the deal. Time to spit it.

Not too long ago, I "met" someone online. We've done a bit of chit chatting via email. (I may have mentioned my use of a certain dating service last month, or whenever that was. So in case people are wondering... Yep, we found out about one another through there.)

Based on what little I know of her so far, she seems like a really cool person. The information in her profile suggests to me that we could be a near-perfect match for one another. Well... maybe. There are so many unknowns.

Anyway, we're planning to meet up in person sometime soon. It might happen within the next couple of days. Or it might be a few weeks. It largely depends on whether our uncertain and busy schedules happen to coincide.

So anyway, on the off chance that this encounter might happen really really soon, as opposed to just soon, I'm finding myself simultaniously apprehensive and excited. Will we get along at all in person? Will she find me attractive? Will I find her attractive? Will there be any chemistry whatsoever? Will we have anything to talk about, or will one or both of us become so preoccupied with our own uncertainties and wrapped up in our own fantasies that we learn nothing from the experience at all?

I have no answers to any of these questions. That is the purpose of the planned rendezvous. To find out what will happen. The only way to find out is to have it happen.

Another note: She doesn't know about this website or its existence (yet). Unless things turn out to be a total disaster (a scenario I don't anticipate), she will be informed of it before long. I'm not quite ready to let her see into this part of myself yet though. I want us to experience each other's physical presence first. (Unless, of course, she's being a really good net sleuth without my knowledge, in which case, she's earned it.)

Uncertain, the future is.

Hmmm... There are other topics for which content could be generated, but it's past time for bed now. So another time maybe. Sleep now.
