On Retractions

I don't do them, at least not on blogs, unless the entry's stupid.

I walked to work today, it's kinda nice, it took 35 minutes, considering driving it can take up to 25 minutes sometimes, it's a good trade off if it's sunny.  Looked it up on Google Maps, it's exactly 2 miles, I think I'll be doing this more often.

I still love my car and would never consider not having a car.  It makes me mad when people say they're getting rid of their car, as if you really don't need a car.  What are you going to do when you goto the grocery store and have 3 paper bags?  Or a trip to Ikea?  Or a late night run to Dick's if you don't live just down the street from one?  Yes, you do save money, but unless you're honestly going to hoof it or bus it everywhere and not get a ride anyone someone, you're just shifting your driving responsibilities from yourself to your friends.

The Girl

You know I might as well blog about her, don't think she knows about this blog, and because I have no self control right now.

We worked together, but she was let go from her position as a Project Manger for weird and unjust reasons, that I still don't understand.  That was 3 weeks ago, and now she's moved away to live with her boyfriend in another city.

Let me tell you about the number one thing that you'll notice about her.  It's her eyes, they're the biggest brightest brown eyes I've ever seen, with so much life behind them.  The second thing you'll notice about her is her laugh, the way her face lights up, and her eyes disappear into little arches.  The third thing you'll notice about her is the little sound effects she makes when you get to know her and she gets all animated when she talks.  I could go on about the physical stuff, but really it doesn't matter, because I didn't really lust after her in that way.  Most of our interactions were through Windows Messenger, we've gone through 4 XML files worth of conversations the past year, mostly about work, but in between everything from TV shows, to making up nicknames for annoying clients, to making up funny acronyms for said annoying clients nicknames, to Chuck Norris jokes.  If work was Survivor: Plexipixel, she would have been my F2, because I could never vote for her.

Now thinking about it, I probably didn't really know her all that well, we shared a lot of good conversations and fun, but she shares her heart with someone else, and it's not something I ever want to encroach upon.

But, I don't know, what if I were more aggressive, encroach, encroach away, would things be different now?  I could have swore we had a 2 way connection, but maybe it was all just me.

I think I've said way too much.  Good night.
