Confessions of A Naughty Girl

You have got to be kidding me

So the big fun event was tonight. It was big, it had its moments of fun, but it was depressing. I think every guy in this business is either gay, ugly, or taken. Except for Media Maguire (see below post), who was back tonight in full effect. Oh yes, I saw him again. This makes twice in one week! Wow, it's like we're almost a thing again. Not.

Media Maguire cornered me at the bar and proceeded to tell me about how much work sucks, and how busy he is all the time. I swear, not one question directed to me - but no surprise there. And, per the usual, he was throwing out media jargon left and right -- but he was saying shit that wasn't even making sense. I don't think he knows what half of the words mean. Hang on, I have to lean over the desk right now and vomit from the memory of it all.

At dinner later tonight, my friend and I ran into a guy who works in our building. He had a very, very hot friend with him, and things seemed to be looking up until I found out that he's a Captain for a Sea Jet at Navy Pier. I kind of blew him off after that, and I felt bad, but seriously...it wasn't going to happen. I'm not so good with seamen. I had a bit of a fling about two years ago with a real Navy seaman (anyone remember Peter?), and it hit the skids when he got ten of us thrown out of a bar at my 22nd birthday party because the bouncers busted him for puking in the men's bathroom. After that incident, I pretty much resolved not to date anyone who sails the high seas. Gives me motion sickness. (I know, not funny.)

And while I'm on a rant, is it Break Up Season or what? I have been getting phone calls left and right from people who were blissfully in love for the past couple of months, but now he/she turned into a dick/cheated on me/hasn't called me/yelled at me at the bar/tried to kill me with a bar of soap, whatever the excuse. Personally, I think it's a great time to break up - certainly it spares you the agony of having to buy a Christmas present you know they're going to hate anyway. And it gives you a good excuse to drink too much at the company holiday party and hook up with a hot co-worker you've had your eye on (although I wouldn't recommend "getting your meat where you get your bread", I'm just making a point here).

Don't get me wrong - dating someone you really like is great. But let's face it, sometimes it doesn't work out, so your best bet is to wish them well, move on, and embrace the fact that you're single and you don't have to answer to anyone. And as wise Sandy says, "The good ones always come back anyway." Except for Media Maguire. He just keeps coming back because the gods are trying to punish me for poor judgment. My karma sucks.
