A New Year

2009. Here we go.

So I went out with the Lawyer last night. We met sort of strangely (facebook was involved), but he is perfectly lovely. He's smart, educated, driven, attractive, a great kisser... But when we met for drinks in the afternoon and then had dinner, I said to him, "I like you, so I don't want to spend NYE with you." It's too significant too soon, rushes things, and makes someone jump to the sticking place.

Or, makes me jump right out. He is totally smitten, that is clear, and he should be. But he is not extraordinary; I don't think he's half a super power. I suppose only time with tell, and I will go slow and not push anything. He seems lovely, but...

It's funny to know things like this. Funny to know that the best way to kill something is to let it burn up too quickly. As Gatsby said, "Just wait and see what something will be."

As for that, my Trainer is on his way here, we'll have breakfast and then I'll come sort my house out, I suppose. He is not, afterall, moving to Michigan on a Veritas special. I suppose like him so much because I do not know where it's going, whereas with the Lawyer, I know to a minute.


As for resolutions? The money thing is up there. And 20# would be nice. The running of a marathon. Meeting new people instead of going back to the old. Mindful use of resources. And have even more fun, if such a thing is possible.
