I set a new record tonight.
After almost everyone else from RMBB 7.2 went home (Aside from Bill with four Ls, who was there for one of my attempts.), I talked to three different women. All of them had smiles so bright that you could see them from orbit. That is my official Most Attractive Quality in a female.
Admittedly, I struck out with all three. Admittedly, it was worse of a showing than the Red Sox had tonight in the bottom of the 11th inning.
Yet I made the attempt. And that, dear readers, is something that I rarely can bring myself to do after the vast multiples of disastrous relationships I have in my personal history. With all the pain and disappointment and full-out depression that has followed most of my past relationships, to simply be at a bar and have a conversation with an attractive woman is a definitive advancement for me.
Who knows... Maybe one of these days, something might actually happen after a Blogger Bash. Or any other time. Something where I don't go home by myself. Or don't go home period, for that matter.
But I wouldn't hold my breath for it. I may have made attempts, but that does not blind me to the reality that is my life.
So tonight, it is just me and the cats. As usual. With Lisa Loeb playing on the Winamp. As usual.
So here is to one of these days... Yeah. I'll drink to that.

You're easy.
One of the things I like about you. But not, you know, that way.
we are bloggers. we are doomed to single-ness.
try to think of it as being like a digital samurai or something. it works for me.
Good hunting! (Just stay out of my turf, not quite all of us are single). ;)
