"On The Radio"
This is how it works
It feels a little worse
Than when we drove our hearse
Right through that screaming crowd
While laughing up a storm
Until we were just bone
Until it got so warm
That none of us could sleep
And all the styrofoam
Began to melt away
We tried to find some worms
To aid in the decay
But none of them were home
Inside their catacomb
A million ancient bees
Began to sting our knees
While we were on our knees
Praying that disease
Would leave the ones we love
And never come again
On the radio
We heard November Rain
That solo's really long
But it's a pretty song
We listened to it twice
'Cause the DJ was asleep
This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath
No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again
And on the radio
You hear November Rain
That solo's awful long
But it's a good refrain
You listen to it twice
'Cause the DJ is asleep
On the radio
(oh oh oh)
On the radio
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio

i had my date last night. i was sooo nervous. this is the guy that i met off the dating site so this was our first meeting.
my first impression? he's much cuter in his pictures.
he shook my hand, i awkwardly hugged him (cuz i'm a hugger) we found a table and got a bite to eat. we played lots of pool and then we sat and talked for several hours. the conversation flowed pretty freely, he seems like a really good guy, he had me laughing (which is good) and he really liked me. we stayed out too late and he kissed me goodnight. then he kissed me goodnight again...lol...really good kisser.
he texted me first thing this morning and we've been chatting throughout the day. no second date has been set but he has made it clear that he wants to see me again. he thinks i'm the cat's meow (my words) his words were...."so you really don't have guys asking you out on dates all the time? i can't believe that!" i had to hold in the donkey/snort laugh.
i have no plans. just going to try to enjoy his company. i like to believe that i'm not superficial but there were a few things about him that i was analyzing with a friend today. her comment to me...."i'm glad you're withholding judgement and going to see him again...because, afterall, you're no spring chicken." YIKES! that doesn't mean i have to settle down with the first tom dick or harry that crosses my path.
********************************************************************************************************
i've honestly learned some things just by going on one date with one stranger.......
* since rat-bastard left i've been unconsciously looking for someone like him (now that i realize that i can change lanes)
* no matter how much i hate it i will probably always have a little place in my heart that holds the memories of rat bastard (and that's okay)
* somethings are out of my control (i just have to ride the wave)

i think this song sums it up perfectly. scroll down to view my favorite lines that i highlighted

Did you meet him on that site? or another? Sounds like it went really good! You know, if you spend more time with him, those things you don't like about him now will either fade away or bug you to the point of breaking contact.I'm glad you had a fun time! -

uni - no i didn't meet him on that site...lol! yeah i figure all i can do is enjoy -

nice post. but the donkey/snort laugh cracked me up! no spring chicken huh.... well there are plenty of old roosters! *smile* no...just being silly. i do wish you the best of times to come! take care ~see ya -
fragglesrock said on Jan 21, 2009....
hi me-my! donkeys chickens and roosters .... sounds like the silly farm :) thank you for your well wishes!!!! -
uncertaingirl said on Jan 21, 2009....
Whew. Dates are tricky and you sounded like you had a good one. Kudos! Wait until the second or third date to see if those 'superficial' things you mentioned are still bugging you. He was probably nervous around your awesomeness. =) -

I miss dating....well, sort of! It's all exciting, though, isn't it? Just enjoy and keep your head on straight. If I could do it all over again, I would treat each date as an interview like for a job....not will you hire me? But do I want to work here? Ha.......
Either you will just "click and know" with someone, or you will work around the glitches if you believe they're worth it. Both are probably legitimate ways to make it a go.

No spring chicken??? I beg to differ, Fraggles's friend! She is a little chick, for God's sake! A chicklette! -
Hegemone said on Jan 21, 2009....
Well Frag I'm glad things went well. No harm in being realistic about things either, but you're right, you don't have to settle for the first guy who comes around. It's your time to really realize what you truly want, not what you're comfortable with or used to. Little by little you'll realize what it is and you'll definitely be able to "change lanes" (liked that one!). Good for you though, I'm glad it seems to have been such an eye opening and positive experience! -

Sometimes it takes more than the first meeting to really get to like somebody.. and in my book thats a good thing because the non-first sight kind of love has stronger foundations. Sounds like you had a great first date.. and I like your idea of just going with the flow and enjoying his company. I think those are very imp lessons you've mentioned there.. its great that you have that insight! -

Hi Fraggles -I am with Dbabe on this one,from a totally male perspective though - as i have told you before - with someone like yourself - whats not to like? hence the guy asked the question that he did.I think just take it one day at a time - i do hope that you decide to see him again though......oh, at least at the end of the night,he kissed you and didnt lick your face like the guy did at new years eve !!!
Jokes aside though - at least the 2 of you were able to make easy conversation - which is always a good start -
tizzygirl said on Jan 22, 2009....
Well it's good you are giving him a chance, it's at least always nice to have someone around that thinks you are the bees knees ;) -

hege - hi there! "It's your time to really realize what you truly want, not what you're comfortable with or used to." thank you for saying that...it's something i need to remember :)

dd - hi! you always make me smile, so encouraging and positive....i appreciate that :) thanks!
cj - i appreciate the male perspective :) i've talked to him a couple times since the date. i'm waiting for him to ask me out again.

I am not sure if I have posted on your blog or not but here goes. We all quit being a spring chicken at one point in life that does not keep you from being a sexy senior citizen. I became a very good rooster and only get better with age. I discovered that if I was patient and did not get in a hurry many good and very satisifying experiences came my way and in turn I got to give a great deal of pleasure to older women (40 and up) in my life I am glad you are giving the guy another opportunity but you might think of it alternately that he is giving you one (big smile). You know everone dreads that first encounter and due to very good and creative photographic technologies we all look a good bit better in our pictures. I hope you consider that everone has a certian amount of pecularitiesthat at first might be off putting but end up being very endearing qualities.I apreciate you are a hugger but the guy might have had some bad experiences with women that were not. See we are all prisoners ofour past experiences myself I am a hugger and kisser and I generally just plow in unless I get a good slap hehehe. Oh well have fun and if you want a hug which I am giving you right now just or as the hens just cackle. -
