I may be going to the beach again this weekend. I should know something by the end of today. If not, then I am doing a 60 mile bike race/ride on Saturday; a cult classic event. Either way there's something to look forward to!

The last couple of months in the dating scene have been fun. An example: Over the past few weeks, Farmboy has: cut my grass, tilled a fall garden, brought me dinner, cooked me dinner (twice), brought me a snack in between classes, taken out my garbage, picked up my furniture from the store, built the furniture, brought me milk, brought me cold medicine, and gave me a tour of his work.

I've been dating narcissists for so long, I don't know what to make of someone being nice to me consistently. Of course I like it.

Other guys are trying to woo me as well: flowers, overabundance of text messages, cards, meals, movies, surprise notes, dogged persistence, an ego-boosting waterfall of compliments.

The biggest change I've made recently to go from being treated like crap to being treated like a princess is this: I used to be attracted to the loner, the misfit, the guy who needs fixing. I still have that attraction to that type of person, but instead of encouraging him to be interested in me, I tell myself to walk away from the possibility. The only people I allow to woo me are those who are psychologically well enough to appreciate someone else besides themselves.

Improvements across the board: School, cycling, dating, family relationships, my health, my happiness... (work is curiously missing... haha).
