Sunny Side Up

Went barhopping for the first time in San Antonio last night. To be honest, it was not so much 'barhopping', as it was just simply 'drinking and driving', but all in all it was a fun night. We went to some places near Trinity University, and low and behold, there were white people there! So they do exist in San Antonio. (Asian people still don't, apparently) The place we went to, Rebar, was actually very reminiscent of Maggie Mae's in Austin, so it wasn't so bad. The one difference? There was an actual policeman read it, people: policeman as the bouncer. Eeks. (well, something I would have said a few months ago, hah).

I have been spending a lot of time with my classmates as of lately. They're great people. I feel like they are the only other people in the world that understand what kind of hell I am going through right now. We're a close-knit group. A lot of us are forming co-ed softball and volleyball teams in the spirt of kicking everyone else's ass :) (watch out you dentists and PT students!). Now only if we had some pharmacy students to beat up on...lol. Should be a great year.

Why is it that no matter what we have in life, we simply are never satisfied? And why is it that we always have to be reminded of how great we are, instead of realizing it for ourselves? As a girl. I always forget the number of guys that ask me out, and simply dwell on the one who doesn't. Just think about it. Why is it, that we are never happy with what we have? There are mantras in life that everyone should abide by. These are mine (from the holy grail, He's Just Not that Into You, by Greg Behrendt). They have helped me get through some of the roughest times in my life. I hope they help you in yours. You should read them read them read them.


Wasting time with the wrong person is just time wasted. And when you do move on and find your right person, believe me, you're not going to wish you had gotten to spend more time with Stinky the Time-Waster or Freddy Can't-Remember-to-call.

I know that guy you're dating. He is a man made up entirely of your excuses. And the minute you stop making excuses for him, he will completely disappear from your life.

Don't get tricked into asking him out. If he likes you, he'll do the asking.

Have faith. You made an impression. Leave it at that. If he likes you, he'll still remember you after the tsunami, flood, or Red Sox loss. If he doesn't, he's not worth your time.

Just because you like to lead doesn't mean he wants to dance.

If you can find him, then he can find you. If he wants to find you, he will.

If I were into you, you would be the bright spot in my horribly busy day. Which would be a day that I would never be too busy to call you.

If I like you, I don't forget you, ever. Don't you want the guy who'll forget about all the other things in his life before he forgets about you?

Remember: Men are never too busy to get what they want.

If he's not calling you, it's because you are not on his mind. When you like someone, they don't just slip your mind.

If he creates expectations for you, and then doesn't follow through on little things, he will do the same for big things. Be aware of this and realize he's ok with dissappointing you.

Men, just like women, want to feel emotinally protected when a relationship starts to get serious. One way they do that is by laying claim to it. They actually want to say "I'm your boyfriend" or "I'd like to be your boyfriend". A man who is really into you is going to want you all to himself.

It's about the guy who wants you, calls you, makes you feel sexy and desired fully. He wants to see you more and more often because every time he sees you, he likes, and then loves you more.

Most guys, or at least the ones I want you to be dating, will make sure, as soon as reasonably possible, that they mean business.

Don't spend your time on and give your heart to any guy who makes you wonder about anything related to his feelings for you.

Everyone wants to feel loved and needed, especially by the person who just broke up with us.

Don't be flattered that he misses you. He should miss you. You are deeply missable. Remember, the only reason he can miss you is because he's choosing, every day, not to be with you.

One simple rule ladies: Always be classy, never be crazy. Okay, its actually two simple rules, but trust me, you will never be sad that you followed them.

Cut him off. Let him miss you.

Don't give him the chance to reject you again.

Unless he's all yours, he's still hers.

Don't be that girl.

You are not easily forgotten. Let him find you when he's ready.

List all the things you have ever wanted in a man. Did "married" or "emotionally unavailable" make that list? Yeah, we didn't think so. You are far too smart and classy for that.

Life is hard enough as it is, without choosing someone difficult to share it with.

I will not go out with a man who keeps me waiting by the phone.

I will not be with a man who is afraid to talk about our future.

I will not, under any circumstances, waste my precious time on a man who has already rejected me.

Most men do not change, and the only ones I have seen change only changed when they met new women.

This is the only thing you need to remember: Mr. I'm just not up for it, is exactly the same guy as Mr. I'm just not that into you. Both guys don't want to be with you. One of them may say he can't be with, but it's still the same result. He isn't giong to be with you. Don't let his personal complications confuse you into waiting around for him. He's not able to be really into you. And you deserve better.
