On vacation for a couple of lazy days in Santa Cruz. I have no major plans, other than to wander around, read and eat, which is pretty much what I like to do, given the time. I've already been to Pizza My Heart 3 times, which is ridiculous but godDAMN their pizza is good.
In more interesting news, after being single for what's felt like forever, I've been getting into shenanigans lately, which is what actually hanging out with people--especially girl people-- will do to you. I had my sights all set on this one girl, and apparently her friends all thought we were going to get together, when lo and behold I hooked up with one of her friends, and have seen her a couple of times since then, and it's been real interesting. It came out of nowhere. We were all at some club to see music, and the Potential Girl showed up late with a friend, and didn't hang out with the rest of us, and by that time, vibes had started happening between me and the Unexpected Girl, and before you know it I was buying her beer and sort of dancing with her, and Potential Girl kind of sidled up to me, but it was too late, and I ended up making out with Unexpected Girl, and now Potential Girl has not responded to my last couple FB messages or hung out when I'm there, and Unexpected Girl has come over to my apt, and etc etc. Still not sure about what's gonna happen with that one, but I'm so much more relaxed about that kind of stuff than before, what with all the crap that happened post-break up with the last girl. All a person would have to do would be to go to my early blog entries to see how bad it was for so long... I'm at the stage where I don't NEED to have some exacting, perfect relationship or planned future; if I am enjoying my time with her, and we're both attracted to each other, then that's what's important.
Lest anyone think I led that other girl on, it should be pointed out that nothing had ever happened between us, and we'd only hung out a couple of times, in a group. I had planned to make my move that night, but things changed. Which just goes to show you how important timing can be (I've been on the other side of that equation a few times myself, urgh), and how you've got to strike while the iron is hot.
I hope that other girl doesn't hate me now, because she's pretty cool, and I don't want to hurt her feelings. But hell, man; I'm glad I got something else going. It feels good, no matter what happens in the future.
Tomorrow I'm going to try new restaurants, go to book and record stores, go to the beach, maybe get some beers, maybe see a movie. Life's pretty nice right now, I admit it.

Sounds like things are going well for you, good luck with the new prospect
