I decided I want to get out there and just meet people. Yes, my long term secret goal is to meet someone to date but for now why not just see who's out there? So, I made an ad on craigslist in search of a concert buddy. I placed it in the Strictly Platonic section and already received 2 responses!
The first one was from a 20 year old who says she likes to go to shows but not alone. Her musical tastes are similar to mine so that's good.
The second one is a bit more interesting. Unless it's a huge coincidence, I think this person once contacted me for an ad I put up 2 years ago. The e-mail address is different but the name attached the e-mail is the same. She sounds like a concert pro, always going to shows but mostly alone and wants company. The funny thing is 2 years back, the ad she answered was when I was looking for someone to attend a movie I won free tickets to. She wrote after the movie happened, saying too bad she missed my ad because she would have loved to go. We ended up writing back 3-4 times until I asked her for coffee or a beer. She simply replied that she didn't want to leave me hanging but had no interest in meeting.
Well looky here!
I think I'll keep this story to myself if we end up meeting.

End Of Summer Review
Wow it's been exactly 1 month since I last posted something on here. Well I feel it's only fair I update you all (apparently I have 19 followers!) with what's been going on in my life this past 30 days:
Living: After living in an amazing apartment in an amazing area of town for the past 2+ years, I was informed by my roommate that she's pregnant (by my other roommate, her boyfriend) and they would like to live alone (makes sense) when the baby is due in January. So, I am on the search for a new place. I looked very briefly but need to start doing a better job. I calculated it and don't think I can afford a small place all by myself, so my options are either find someone and look for a place together or find random people on Craigslist and hope they are cool people to live with. There's been a bit of tension some days with the guy roommate and I so I'm getting eager to leave. I really hope I find something relatively close to where I live right now.
Work: It's been over 2 months at the new location and things are starting to feel smoother. However, I still want to find a new job. I've been looking almost every day and sending out resumes when I can but I haven't heard from anyone. I got one e-mail saying "thanks but you're not what we want, but we'll let you know if something else comes up". I got another e-mail saying "give us your portfolio" and never heard back. Finally I once got a call but I was at work in front of a coworker and really didn't answer the questions very well. Plus i never got the person's contact so I don't even know who I spoke with. I think I just need to try a bit harder, maybe change my cover letter or something. I hope I find something soon...
Indie Rock Girl: She's gone but we still e-mail back and forth. Recently she started telling me about a date she went on and then asked if it's cool she tells me about it. I thought about it and decided I dont' really care. It did bother me at first but I figure if she tells me these things it'll only make me more comfortable with it. Besides I told her she'd have to hear about my dates in return. Mwuhahah!
Girls: Speaking of which, I haven't been on any dates since she left. However, I have been browsing the Internet dating sites (Plentyoffish.com and OKCupid.com) and I have been getting tons of mail.OK, not tons but quite a few. It's been almost an equal mix of response to my initial e-mail to them as much as out of the blue E-mails from other girls. That's great, except most of them never responded to my response. There was one girl that sounded cool but she admitted to me that she takes drugs so that ended that for me. I have a potential date with a French girl later this week but I'm not too interested. I'm going to set it up regardless just to get out there and meet people.
So in a nutshell I'm doing fine but there are a lot of changes that are int eh process of happening (hopefully sooner than later): new job; new apartment; new g/f? I feel kind of "blah" lately but in 2 weeks I will be heading to a wedding in Tennessee so that will be a lot of fun.
I will make every effort to update when interesting things occur.
Until then!
