oh $#*!...
two things.
one. i received a text at four this morning informing me that my date for the hy-vee christmas party tonight had to cancel because he was in the process of being arrested. he promised details later, so you know about as much as i do, but i know him pretty well and my curiosity is of the more amused variety rather than the worried or nervous sort. my guess is that he decked someone that deserved it. as far as the party goes, though, i really don't want to go alone, especially after telling people that i was bringing a tall blond and handsome date. i'll tell them that we were otherwise engaged and never made it, let them fill in the gaps.
two. kind of an odd one in juxtaposition to the first, and it's one of those way too soon to really even post about it things, but despite my assertions of wanting to wait before jumping back into the dating scene, it seems i'm kinda finding myself suddenly in the middle of it again. i just got off the phone with the next guy who will break my heart. he's thirty and a phd student studying latin american literature, currently working on his dissertation. he's pseudo-recently divorced (eep!) with two young boys (eep! eep!) but seems settled and comfortable enough now and i always like the slightly damaged guys anyway. and he works out. a lot. so we'll see where that goes, if anywhere, but i have a feeling i'm gonna like him.
k, off to get some things done. i hope.

Item number one is just kind of curious... I guess it depends on the details to have much more of a response.
Item number two makes me think of that song, "Don't go breaking my heart..."
Hopefully those things getting done include the latin lover!
@christao408 - 1) turned out they thought he was drunk driving so they took him in. he wasn't, but they were pissed that he wasted their time so they wouldn't take him back to his car, leaving him stranded at the police station for several hours until someone could come pick him up. 2) kinda what i'm thinking, too. now that's gonna be stuck in my head, lol.
@Viewtiful_Justin - ha. thanks.
¡Muy emocionante! I hope that means what I want it to. I'm glad you found someone, even a potential disaster. Who isn't, after all? Now a question I actually expect you to answer: how out is El Stud?
@Mr. Mysterious - i wouldn't say it's any more exciting than one of your potential dates, but for me it's so infrequent and surprising that i get a little carried away. as for your question, he came out to his wife and parents before the divorce, but he has nothing listed on facebook (neither do i) and i haven't yet asked beyond that. i've been meaning to ask, though, at least about his job. he teaches at the big school in your hometown.
