I've been doing allot of soul searching lately. Being more honest with myself about what I really want my life to be. I was standing by my other laptop a bit ago, looking at the spacehogs cd case sitting on the shelf, and i suddenly realized that my apartment is exactly the way I want it. I love my little apartment, it's not too big, not too small, and it's comfortable, it's home to me.
 
I have a nice car too. Nothing fancy, and I payed more for it than it's worth, due to my piss poor credit rating, but it looks nice, and it's only 4 years old, and runs really well when the anti-theft system isn't screwing up.
 
I have my dream job, and they just gave me a company computer thursday, so I'll be able to keep this job at the very least till i'm done with school 18 months from now. The pay is pretty good, enough for me to build up some reserves, replace the crap stuff i've been living with for so many years, and go out and have some fun once in awhile. And i get to play on computers doing programming all day, and they pay me for it! Really! I can't believe it either! I have 2 computers on my desk, and each one has 2 flat screen monitors. I have 4 monitors wrapped around my chair! I look like I'm working at NASA!
 
I really like the way my life is going now. But there's one more thing that I'd like to have. You see, I have determined that I'm really not looking for 'mrs right' now. I don't want to have a deep meaningful soulmate relationship. I've just been burned too many times by love, and I really don't want to change my life, my home, my whatever, for someone else now that I've got it just where I want it. But what I would like to have is someone who wants to come over for dinner and stay for breakfast a couple nights a week. Someone who doesn't want to get all emotionally attached, but wants passion and closeness and intimacy. Is that making any sense?
 
I wonder where you find women like that?

    Friends with benefits?  Hmmm, I'm sure you could find someone like that, but I'm not sure how healthy it might be.  But what do I know?  It might be just the right thing for you, at least for awhile.

    trav- When you say you're 'not looking' its good news. I never found anyone worthwhile looking for them. They need to 'happen'. Your life sounds good right now. Why not enjoy what you've got for a while, buy a few things you need and let the world go by day by day.  Enjoy.

    She will 'happen' later, you'll see. Where to find the 'perfect mrs not right', I have no idea.

    Well, Pretty Woman was on last night....
     
    No, I am just being mean and petty.  I know what you mean, completely.  I remember when I had my own place, and was finally in a place (emotionally) where all I wanted was just to be at home and left alone--except when I didn't want to be alone.  I couldn't find that, either.  I kept getting into relationships---and then wanting them to go home so I could listen to my music and sit on my screened in porch by myself. 
     
    I hope you find what you want---but kudos on all that you do have for now.

    That's life Travelr....one gets to a certain point and thinks...hey, this is where I wanted to be and here I am...then you look around, and seeing nobody next to or with you to share your life/success with,  you start feeling the vacuum inside.
    Is there anybody willing to share that with you ?  You bet there is !  The only problem is finding that somebody. 
    How you do it is really up to you as there are many ways to meet people.
    Don't give up hope....there's someone out there for you.
    :^)

    i guess i don't get what you mean about 'pretty woman' wombie. i've seen it several times, but i don't get the reference. i hope i find what i want too, but i'm used to living without everything, but having just enough, and i'm happy, so what else do i need really?
     
    yah rc, it's kinda like my life up till now has been 'out of phase' with the universe, and now it's 'in phase', but i'm still me. somebody out there for me? oh , i don't know, i've given it so many tries, i'm just not gonna worry about it anymore. but i would like to get laid at least once before the end of the decade, ya know? :-P
     
    ya know qpdoll, i sorta have found someone. we're the closest of friends, and absolutely LOVE to talk and spend time together, and we're not in a romantic relationship, and i kinda like that, it fits for now, ya know? oh, btw, that someone, if you couldn't guess, is fragglesrock.
