It's time to start thinking about holiday exchanges! I'm torn on what I'm doing this year. I missed the panic last year, so I feel I need something. Yuletide? I'm not sure what fandoms I'm enthusiastic on. Glee? I'm tempted by kb_holidays, for Kurt/Blaine, but it feels weird doing another single fandom exchange - it's been so long since Sesa. Does this person know what they're doing? I know I can trust the Yuletiders. I could just solicit prompts and write one for a few of you like I did that one insane year I did three stories (friends, Yuletide and Sesa). Geez, do I even remember how to write fluff and/or vanilla anymore?? I better decide soon, though, since KB reg closes Friday. What are you guys doing?

The third date has been survived - I offered staying here to watch something, but he said Lion King, so off we went. That movie was MADE to be 3D - utterly gorgeous. The date was less so. Fun and fine, don't get me wrong, but conversation is often still like pulling teeth. I suggested dinner after, and he agreed, but it turns out he doesn't really eat well in restaurants at night. Fine, but rather awkward when he ordered something, ate none of it, and I had to eat alone (which is a major social anxiety trigger for me, for some reason. My grandfather, uncle and brother have the same problem). Blah.

He must have a personality he's not quite showing off yet, because he showed me pictures of his house and there's blue walls and bright red walls and okay, the bedroom is a boring taupey brown, but there are some colors in there, too. (There is also a distinct lack of clutter, which makes me wonder if my place made him cringe! I definitely have a lot of Things.) Also, I find it amusing/awesome that he does Bob Ross paintings. Bob Ross totally got me through college depression with all his happy little trees and their friends. While I appreciate moving slow, I do kind of think we're headed towards online TV friends. Which is cool, it's always nice to find a sane online TV friend. We are bowling tomorrow, which will officially be the most dates I've had with the same guy, and we'll see where we are after that. Biz thinks he may be waiting for me to make the first move, since I did ask him out first and I'm also doing things like paying for dinner Sunday (I felt guilt over the food issue, and he did get the movie), but, well. That ain't happening. This has been fun and mostly unstressful and I've liked hanging out with him the last, what, 6 weeks? But I think I'm cool with it fizzling, too.

In other news, Chichi's wound is making me sad. I'm glad to have all this snuggling time with her, but I could live without her waking up at 2am every night needing attention. She's still eating, she's still investigating, but yeah. Poor puppy is not well.

In better news, my Jennie girl is visiting in 11 days and she's bringing her utterly adorable baby girl with her. I can't wait for best friend fun and toddler games!! This is the happy getting me through everything. :) I also get to visit my parents this weekend to see their new place. I'm looking forward to it.

My hold on Jane Lynch's autobiography came in today, so I know what I'll be up late reading!
