ladies (no guys chimed in so i dare to believe i only have female readers), you are darn right! mr. no-show is a no-go. as response to me inquiring why he did not show up he said he doesn’t feel the need to explain himself. right….no words.
i’m moving on.

i have been a paper pusher these past days. and let me tell you, that is quite dangerous! have major paper cuts on both index fingers. it hurt, i looked stupid with the bandaids (that i needed because geez, i was bleeding!), and i couldn’t stop laughing about it because all i could think of is how that insurance person about 8 months ago told me that office jobs are lowest in risk and thus you pay a lower insurance fee. i totally see his point. 
one of my colleagues pointed out that apparently, i was better at delegating and not made for physical labor. lol
i guess that’s the price you pay for pushing paper.
some observant readers have noticed that i have had my two dates. yep, they were right. date number one indeed turned out to be like my little brother. we are very similar and though that made for a great conversation, it didn’t help on the chemistry front.
date number two, on monday, was…well, let’s be diplomatic, interesting. he is very shy. the kind of shy that you don’t question why he is on an online dating site. again, we had a great conversation, but he was really reserved and actually said he was worried i was some career chick. he got that impression after googling me (still don’t know how he found out my full name) and finding me listed right under the school’s executive body.
in all, there were many smaller things he mentioned that i wondered if he could be a potential match. i’m someone who wouldn’t mind moving for the right job (and i am talking moving internationally). he said, he is happy to be back in town and aims at staying here indefinitely. mh…
he could be someone to go to the opera with and stuff because he definitely is interested in arts and culture.
i’ve been talking on the phone with the far-away-guy. that downside is already clear – the distance. i will certainly keep you posted on any new happenings! 
tomorrow is yet another day off. yeah! sleeping in, sitting in the sun (without sunburn of course), and cleaning because a friend is coming to visit on the weekend. friday and the weekend will be terrible busy with work because we have a huge soccer competition at school, and alumni will be present as well as some prospective students. so when i’m not babysitting for the newbies, i’m dealing with the oldies. quite a mixture but i hope it will be as much fun as i think it will be.
oh, i need a new haircut. any ideas? what’s in fashion right now? have no clue.

though expected otherwise, we again did not win the eurovision song contest. maybe dita van teese should have taken off a little more than just that jacket thing of hers. ok granted, she squeezed into that tiny corsett, but what did the other participating nations have to offer? a better song, a world famous piano man that happened to play a song that sounded more musical than anything else, a pretty blond dressed in blue, a pretty blond dressed in white who happened to fail miserable at the task that was ahead of her, a duo with a woman that cannot sing but look pretty (that’s enough for the contest)…oh, and a 23year old who looks like 16. who can beat that?!?!?! not germany.
every year we try, we hope, and afterwards we discuss how bad we did and why we are even doing this to us. and then it’s time to pick the next unfortunate candidate who will go down in front of millions across the globe. let’s face it, germany is not destined to win. we just aren’t. we are good at paying for the contest and that’s what we should stick to. if we had to go through semi-finals we would never make it! trust me. good thing we pay enough to automatically be placed in the final.
anyway, off to more uplifting stories. i met that one guy yesterday and we ended up talking for 2.5 hours. who would have thought?! but now that i met him i realized just how similar he is to me. right now i feel more like thinking of him like my little brother than anything else. great for a friendship but not for much more. though i will meet him again just to be sure.
today i’m not doing much. roasting in the sun, doing some chores that need to be done and i hope i get to read some in the new book i got. it’s about apples. and some mystery. i am not at the mystery point yet so bear with me. i learned about cider though. amazing, i know.
off to get my laundry. gotta use the sunshine while it lasts!
best and congrats norway!
