I'm back, everyone!!!! And better than ever? Not sure. Truthfully, I'm not doing so hot. I got laid off a few months ago, and have been vacillating between wallowing and panicking, too busy worrying about all that to concentrate on Admentures. I keep thinking "my job is my life, what am I supposed to talk to strange new manboys about? How can I put myself out there when myself feels like total shit?" But just as my vow to have Admentures was a way to "fake it til I make it," an attempt to get over my ex while forcing myself to move on, so is my latest challenge. Time to fake it again and fake it some more.
At a remarkably overpriced bar stool brunch this morning over bangers and clamato-based Bloody Marys, a fabulous friend made the suggestion that I go on 100 dates, and write about them here. Perfect! I thought. I have a good friend who did this years ago, and had great success. Well, the dating part didn't prove to be that fruitful, actually, but she emerged from that experience more confident and less worried about dating. And she just got engaged! The guy proposed at the top of the Eiffel Tower! Again, he wasn't one of the 100 dates, but still...So that's what I'm doing. 100 dates. No pressure, no thinking each guy is my soul mate, no getting down about the process and the length of time that it takes to meet someone, or the shit you have to wade through, or the frogs you have to kiss. Just dating. Sitting down for coffee or whatever and talking about stuff and clicking or not, and moving on. And I have all of this time now, with that pesky job out of the way!
I can do this. And write about each one. I'll keep ya posted.
XOXO,
Your ever-loving Joan
