I was rushing to get to my old place to hang out w/ pups and watch the SU game. I stopped at CVS at Charles/MGH like I do most days to get my soda and other snacks. The cashier guy is always there too. I put my stuff down at the register and he says 'Do I have to go as fast as you?' I guess I was moving real fast! I said I had to get home for the basketball game and he said 'You just got real hot to me real quick.' Dude, you see me almost every day and you didn't think I was hot before, haha. Funny thing is when I first saw him working there long time ago I thought for a second he was BBD. BBD is a guy Nina fixed me up w/ at K-State. She knew him from aikido and he saw me w/ her studying in the main campus library most days. We went on some dates but I didn't like how he led when we did salsa and I couldn't keep my mouth shut about it.

Go SU!

I met you so many months ago, I forget when exactly, sometime in the Fall. Why are you now texting me w/ the 'Hi Honey' shit again? I am not your honey or your girlfriend or marrying you or whatever else you said that night. We had fun dancing, that was it! Okay, one text the next day, fine, I ignored it. Now all of a sudden you randomly do it every few days? Go away!

I'm finally done w/ day 1 of my big project at work. 12 hours, not too bad. I expected much worse. My collaborator is awesome and great to work w/ so it's made things less stressful. He's from Nepal, got his vet degree in India and PhD at LSU and now is doing a postdoc at LSU. He has a wife and twin 17 year old girls. He didn't seem old enough at first but I think I just need to look at him more carefully.

I got a message from admin woman at realty company that has been trying to help me. My realtor is coming back from vacation tomorrow. Apparently he called my landlord and everything is fine w/ lease and dog. Just waiting on approval of dog from building. I was supposed to check back today but I haven't had time w/ the work thing. I don't want to talk to my realtor. He is an ass and I hate him but I don't feel like screaming at him over the phone so I'll try to avoid him somehow, and still get my money back.

Mom also called from the SU game. They are destroying UMass and it's halftime. I need to get to a TV to watch some of the second half but I'm still at work.

so since I was a little girl I've been coming up w/ some great nicknames I think. in elementary school I nicknamed Jeff Myers 'Tree Frog' and it stuck all the way through high school. I also nicknamed Charles something 'Booger Brains.' As I got older, mainly by college, everyone got a boy nickname, well sometimes they had 'boy' in them, there was Stalker Boy, Nirvana Boy, Skater Boy, Hman, BBD, Psycho Sam... I'm having trouble remembering.

Anyway, then there was The Boy. He's the only one of these I've mentioned that I actually dated. Big mistake! He was a 'tool' everyone told me when he visited me in vet school. I guess I knew but I was fine w/ it for awhile, until he visited me that weekend in Kansas. It was my birthday weekend and we went to a party I think Saturday night. That's where everyone called him a tool. I was hanging out more w/ my roommate, that's another story, and I was trying to avoid being associated with the tool. On Sunday we went out for breakfast and we ended up sitting next to some other vet students that were friends w/ my roommate. They had some bacon sitting there on a plate and The Boy asked them if they were going to eat it and they said 'No go ahead.' So The Boy took the bacon and ate it up. I was very embarrassed and grossed out by this, I think also because The Boy had gained some weight since I'd last seen him a few months prior and he wasn't so tall so a little weight is a lot on a short guy. On the way home I dumped him. I planned on it anyway I think but the bacon incident really gave me the courage to dump him and then drive 2+ hrs to the airport and send him on a plan back to MA. It wasn't fun but well worth it.

Anyway, the point is, today he's been named Bacon Boy. I'm not sure what took so long to come up w/ it. He came up in a conversation w/ Greg today who always refers to the bacon story when talking about him and in replying I just wrote the best nickname ever:

Bacon Boy

So I have this midterm today and I decided not to go to the primate center but rather study, plus someone at work needed the blue van anyway and I would have to take the huge white one, so it worked out okay. So I'm at Harvard to study and right now I just got some lunch at the cafe in the science center. When I walked into the cafe I immediately see this guy and flip out in my head, maybe it showed externally, not sure, but he looks like my biostats professor from the Fall who I've only seen a couple times in person because it was an online class but w/ the combo of being a stats professor, I've wanted to do almost every math professor I've ever had, I wanted the Canadian that taught Calc I, Dr. Kleinberg for Calc II, the Calc III guy was ok, and maybe not so much my linear algrebra guy, and my biostats professor was kinda hot, though he should STOP wearing mock turtlenecks, they do nothing for him, but anyway, so I see this guy just now that looks like this professor and we have to pass by each other and I was probably staring at him and he said Hi to me but I was so freaked out I couldn't say anything and I'm not sure if it was him or not but if it was, maybe he recognized me from the two times maybe he's seen me in class, or maybe he was wondering why is this chick staring at me and just decided to say Hi. Then after that I couldn't get any food until I made sure he was gone. I got that instant 'I'm not hungry' feeling in my stomach. So I grabbed a quick sandwich and went to pay but saw him again so went and hid and put back the sandwich until the coast was clear and then went back and got the same sandwich. Now I'm writing this to absolutely make sure he's not around before I start stuffing my face, though I want to see him again so I can see if it's him and be courageous and talk to him.
