i hate that you hate the things in other people that you hate in yourself.

my feelings are always hurt when people don't write me back.

but saying that means i am the biggest hypocrite of all time.

i'm fairly good at responding to emails and written letters...but phone calls? goodness. i can't even begin to say how many phone calls have gone:
a)unanswered
b)unreturned

do i think about the fact that those people's feelings might be hurt like mine are when people don't write me back?

no.

so, i think this proves that i am a heartless jerk.

ps - i've lost all abilities to sleep. if you are a fellow insomniac, please call me. i promise i will try to answer. or at least try to return your phone call.

so...here in austin, there's the austin chronicle. and in the austin chronicle, there's a section called a shot in the dark. i will be honest and say that i check a shot in the dark weekly hoping that someone out there thought i was hot and is desperately trying to find me.

aside from my lame fantasies, this two were posted this past week.

"red bike/glasses: wanna be your boyfriend i will tell you who i am if you tell me who you are lets encourage each others dreams"

"red bike girl: WITH GLASSES SEEKING BOYFRIEND i have glasses and red bike but not sure if message was for me there's a lot of cyclists in this town"

that girl's response just made me love a shot in the dark soooo much more.

i, too, have a red bike and glasses. should i respond?
