First dates

It's been awhile since I had a first date with someone... so I went out and it was nice. Nothing special, no need to go out with him again. I have a different one set up for next week... It turns out I really like tall- this one is 6'7" (woohoo) but he's younger than me (which I don't like) and already after several emails I'm not so sure about meeting up. However, I said I would, so I will. I very nearly cancelled a first date with someone who turned out to be wonderful, so maybe I can give this guy a chance too. I just don't want to yet. It's not that I don't want to be out, I just would rather it be someone I was excited about being out with. Yeah I should stop grumbling about having a date- at least someone is interested. Oh and happy news: I got my new iPhone today!

I am hesitant to get involved with anyone- I seem to cause trouble everywhere, and frankly my schedule is filling up so much that if anyone was serious about wanting to see me twice a week it may be really hard to do unless they like late nights and no sleep. I have been averaging 5 hrs of sleep for several days and it's starting to wear me down. I come home to take a nap and I can't sleep and then it pisses me off that I'm bone weary and my mind won't shut down. I had a single glass of wine to help me sleep last night and it didn't work so I guess I'll have to try something else. Someone said warm milk, but 1) I hate the taste of milk and 2) warm? Vomit.

An odd episode occurred at school today- the principal called aside my assistant and said that she was really worried about me because I always look so sad, and THEN she just went ahead and told him the major points of  my personal history (how she even knows half this stuff makes me wonder whose knees I need to break for sharing with her) and told him to keep an eye on me. That's asinine. I'm very serious at school- I don't walk around with a smile pasted on my face. It's creepy. I'm not naturally exuberant either, especially in work situations, with the exception of in the classroom where I'm actually really high energy and smile a lot. So for her to think she knows me or my personal past well enough to tell the new guy what's what (and she got some stuff wrong anyway), I say that's showing quite a bit of cheek. Yeah, I have been less than thrilled recently and maybe my attitude is showing more than usual but wow-- she's interefering where she has no business. The hell of it is, what she thinks is troubling me isn't an issue. She's got it entirely wrong. And now my assistant is asking questions about stuff that I hadn't ever intended to bring up. What a monumental breach of etiquette today!

Now I'm off to symphony rehearsal where I shall play until my fingers bleed. Concert seasons opens this Sunday, it's gonna be a great concert! Pre-soldout boxes, floor is half sold, and it's looking good for door sales (because usually that's where the bulk of our patrons purchase).

Oh last thing- I joined an online dating service two days ago and saw Naskarl on there (somone I regrettably dated for a bit- that's a nickname, not a real name), and saw he had lied about his age! He told me he is 41, and on this new site he's listed as 36!!! Hahahahaha! Yeah. He can't pull off 36. I thought 41 was a stretch. LMAO!
