Variations on a theme

Friend: "...Then, after your second or third date, you're going to freak out if he goes a few days without calling. Then you're going to decide you don't like him anymore, but still get mad if he doesn't call you, but then get mad at him when he DOES call."Me: "And isn't that the way it's supposed to be done?"Friend: "Pretty much. Everything else is variations on a theme."Except this time I DIDN'T get mad when he DID call. Or when he didn't (well, maybe a little). He was a Republican who considered Genre to be highbrow literature. I knew any possibility for a healthy relationship was over when I saw the pink elephant refridgerator magnet. In happier news, I had a major score at work today. We were going to throw out some old catalogs full of wedding invitation samples, but I saved them from the trash, pulled out my trusty xacto and got to work. Life is sweet. In news that is happier still, tomorrow I'm going to see "Bowling for Columbine" for the third time. With a boy. :) A friend boy. Friends are good. And Michael Moore is good. Actually, he's a self-promoting whore ("go see my movie about my book tour for my book about my tv show! And greed is bad!"), but his work is good. Excellent, even.
