Eve railroaded me into going to the JDate event I went to tonight. Admittedly, she made a convincing argument: The place where they were holding it was within walking distance of my apartment, I might meet someone there, and she would wreak HTML havoc upon me if I didn't go. So I went. And man, was it a disaster. I completely crashed and burned. Not only did I walk in there at a disadvantage because I went alone (although a couple of women did tell me I was brave when I said I came alone), but I just completely didn't have any luck. All the women I approached were in groups, so I'd walk up to the group and introduce myself and start talking, and after a little bit, the group would start talking amongst themselves again or they'd all decide to move somewhere else or I'd just completely get the feeling they didn't want me to be there so I'd leave. My only luck -- and I use that word sparingly -- was with a 61-year-old woman who came up to me and -- I kid you not, because I couldn't even make this kind of stuff up if I tried -- said, "You have such a beautiful face, and you look like your inside is as beautiful as your outside. Could I get your number for my 22-year-old daughter? She's attractive and blonde and lives in the Valley but couldn't be here tonight." This is just the kind of stuff I need after one of the longest weeks I've had in a while. Could my life be any more pathetic right now? And now, Sunday's Most Listened to Song o' the Week: Sugar Ray - "Falls Apart" She falls apart by herself No one's there to talk or understand Feels the sting, dries her eyes Finds herself, opens the door and sighs People see right through you Everyone who knew you well Falls apart, might as well Day is long and nothing is wasted Run away, run away Want to hold you but you're going away Run away, run away Want you tomorrow but you're leaving today You walk along by yourself There's no sound, nothing is changing Been gone away, left you there Emptiness is nothing you can't share All those words that hurt you More than you would let it show Comes apart, by itself All is well and everything is wasted Run away, run away Want to hold you but you're going away Run away, run away Want you tomorrow but you're leaving today Sometimes I'll feel around It scares me some, I can't be down All this time to be on my own In and out to be again This time will waste another friend I know where they'll know where, know where they'll run away She falls apart, no one there Hold her hand, it seems to disappear Falls apart, might as well Day is long and nothing is wasted Run away, run away Want to hold you but you're going away Run away, run away Want you tomorrow but you're leaving today Run away, run away Want to hold you but you're going away But you're leaving today, but you're leaving today...
