Have you SEEN me?

Formerly Not So Much. . .the daily musings of a 26-year-old PYT whose self-love is superceded only by her obnoxiously endearing ability to remind you at all times just how fabulous she is. Guys too stupid to realize how lucky they are to be graced with her presence? Woman with 4-pack abs climbs onto the elliptical trainer next to her? Arrives at Chick-Fil-A at 10:37, only to learn she has missed her opportunity for a chicken biscuit? She throws all these setbacks off with disdain. . .after all, have you SEEN her??

More on 7th grade

I just have to add some info about the HI-LARIOUS conversation ME and me had last night re: men and their take on all those things we overanalyze. Yes, my 7th grade situation has been going on for days now, and I have informed ME of every comment/turn of the head/smirk/remark/eye contact/non-eye contact/calling schedule/noise that my crush has said/gestured/made since the moment we met. "And so then he did this. . .and so then he said this. . .and so then, listen what he said. . .but I think he was just REALLY drunk. . ." etc. etc. etc. And of course, since ME is my personal relationship advisor, all of it leads to one conclusion. . ."What do I do next?" Translation: How do I most successfully play this game so that he will like me?! Last night, the question was. . .do I go to this NCAA championship "party" when mutual friend calls me and informs me it's all guys even though it was supposed to be a "mixed crowd"? Answer: no. You can't. You have to be cool. Being cool when it was a mixed crowd would mean going and being breezy. Being cool now means, sending the message that seeing you is not worth having to try and socialize with all your dumb friends who are absorbed in Basketball. So. . .after a 30 minute conversation about this, to add to the 2 hours of conversations we've probably collectively had about the new guy I've known. . .oh. . .10 days now. . .plus the ridiculously long emails and blogs. . .we came to the conclusion. . .

That the conversation that Guy and Mutual Friend have had about me amounts to this:

Mutual friend: So, uh. . .you and [insert my name here]?
Guy: Yeah. . .well. . .you know. . .
Mutual friend: That's cool.

Or, in the alternative:
Mutual friend: So. . .uh. . .[head jerk motion you've seen guys make when inquiring about potential hook-ups. . .chins jerks up, eyebrows raise]?
Guy: Yeah. . .well. . .you know. . .
Mutual Friend: That's cool.

You know it's true. This is the only conversation guys will ever have about chicks. Insert your name in the blank and quit obsessing, that's how it is.
