Political & Elections

I never wrote that I thought you were a troll. 

I commented on the beautiful eyes remark and later, when people were discussing trolldom, I commented that your writing had often seemed surprisingly unpolished (perhaps due to haste), and that I perhaps tended to be too ready to give people the benefit of the doubt.

I was shocked at how suddenly the tide turned against you here.  I'd like very much to think that you are real -- or "really," as you wrote in your own defense.

Now I am on the fence again.  You have, in the course of a few days, met - and connected meaningfully with - someone so perfect that all contact with others is off???

Seems almost too good to be true.  If true, I guess there may indeed be nothing more to write about, though it would be very interesting to hear about this guy.

If you are still involved an ongoing dating quest for a mate, then I would be happy to suspend stirrings of doubt and let myself be.....well, entertained (and also engaged).....either here, or privately.

I'd love to hear about Mr B-2 too, but if you really don't have time any more, then so be it.

You may not need to seek a unknown room mate at graduation time. 

Good luck and be nice. 

There is actually a Mr. B2...better than Mr. B...

It was a lovely note-- like the old notes he wrote before the whirlwind weekend which took us off track.
It was likely the last.

Actually you didn't win NJ mom-- we all lost the bet!

Much to my amazing surprise Mr. B send me a romantic note from his conference in CA along with a picture of himself at the seaside conference -and he said he would try if he had a minute to call me on Friday in route from conference to his family--  this email arrived in my inbox at midnight Thursday pm/friday am. (After which he was seen on Jdate)   I sent a simply return text that evening-- "tnx for your note - you look refreshed by the sea-- sweet dreams"  and Friday morning I sent a longer email reply about enjoyment of the ocean and that I'd see him after he returns from Florida.  He replied very briefly- "-thanks for your note, I love the sea too - I'll be in touch".   The emotional  range of the two notes in less than 12hours time was ridiculous- clearly he is never romantic and basically "cold and detached" when he tries anything at 7 am in the morning.

Since that time there were no subsequent emails, text, phone calls or communication from Mr. B.  Last contact 7:10 PST Friday.  What did I expect!? I am continuing my  rule- I do not make any initial contact with him at this point- simply replies. He should have returned home last night and is leaving Friday morning.

I expect nothing from him at this point -. Easier perhaps that way.

No donation to my favorite charity I guess.

It's all in the numbers. 

You gotta get big numbers.

Have Fun. 

There are a lot of great actresses in this category and not enough good roles.  Patricia Clarkson, Marica Gay Harden, Julianne Moore, Tilda Swinton, Geena Davis, Melissa Leo, Allison Janney, Emma Thompson....
