well, that didn't last very long
So the thing with the Opera Singer is kaput. And I'm not the least bit surprised. I tried being upbeat but I felt a bit uneasy after our date on Thursday. I had a few issues about some of things she did and said but in my ongoing attempt to be less shallow and more open-minded, I glossed over them. Instead, I tried focusing on the positives instead of being my usual nitpicky self. So much for that.
Today she emailed me and revealed that she's looking for a "long-term affair" and she doesn't think I'm cut out for it. Well, I think that certainly gives me license to list a few of my dislikes now, no? So, in no particular order...
1. Who the fuck -- in all seriousness -- says "long-term affair"? Dude, you're 32, not 87. Take note.
2. In mentioning a past relationship, she used the term "lover." I HATE that fucking word. I dare say Jess would have vetoed her after their first meeting.
3. Ugly shoes.
4. On the second date, she put on a rain hat as we were leaving the bar. Um, it wasn't raining. Actually, it hadn't rained at all that day. And it was really flimsy-looking and certainly wouldn't have provided any warmth. Weirdo.
5. And last but not least, she had the audacity to poke fun at the music on my iPod. This coming from a person who recently attended a Marc Anthony concert. While Marc is tolerable in say, a pharmacy or dentist's office, I certainly wouldn't patronize Ticketmaster on his behalf. And she mentioned -- with genuine excitement -- that J.Lo was in attendance. I found this alarming. You see, for me, a J.Lo sighting would conjure up a completely different set of emotions -- scorn, loathing and rage, for example.
Now normally I have a live-and-let-live policy with music... well sometimes I do, but still, it's an unwritten rule that you do NOT piss on my mp3 collection. It's just NOT done. I'm the queen of kick-ass mix tapes and CDs. She clearly doesn't know who she's dealing with here.
Eh, no bigs. She was pretty and nice and stuff but whatever. I'm frustrated but not upset about it. Besides, some cute Argentinean expat contacted me the other day and thinks I'm cute. Hello, Buenos Aires!
