Confessions of a One Date Wonder

A Talk with LC

Jane Wonder — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 12:06:38 +0000

The lights were dim in the bar last night. They’d had a power outage earlier in the day. Only their downstairs was open and it was mostly candle lit. We had to move the candle around to read our menus and see our food. While we waited for the kitchen to start offering their limited [...]

Thinking Ahead

Jane Wonder — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 13:39:13 +0000

A few weeks ago, LC and I had a conversation about the future. Well, let me rephrase. A few weeks ago, LC and I had a conversation about how he isn’t thinking about the future. He’s living for the moment, he says. In the here and now. Now we won’t discuss all the weird things [...]

Facebook Redux

Jane Wonder — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 17:01:28 +0000

So first we talked about why Facebook is the devil. Then we had the story about that Facebook bitch which further illustrated the point. And now I have yet more proof… the “Relationship Status” profile information. How could one little field of stock profile information cause so much havok? Well let me tell you how. When LC [...]

Time heals?

Jane Wonder — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 11:29:57 +0000

All of this rain makes me pensive. For some reason it always has. This morning I’m wondering if there’s really a problem at all. We’ve been spending almost every night together. I fall asleep touching him. I wake up and roll into his arms. We’ve done big things… shopping trips, festivals, wine tastings. And we’ve done [...]

Unsaid

Jane Wonder — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 12:08:48 +0000

Sometimes what is left unsaid is as powerful if not more so than the words we do share. And while I hate when others do this, here it is. There is a lot I’m leaving unsaid right now. Before I face a barrage of opinions and feedback and other people’s thoughts, I need to make [...]

Bugging me - Again

Jane Wonder — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 13:20:20 +0000

Ask and ye shall receive… the second story of the attack of the giant beetles inside my apartment. A week or two after the first incident, I had finally stopped looking for beetles around every corner. I decided that the giant life threatening beetle referenced in my last post was merely a coincidence. A one time [...]

Bugging Me

Jane Wonder — Wed, 27 May 2009 14:13:26 +0000

Let me paint you a picture of the totally glamorous life of a one date wonder on her own. Actually, let me not paint it because that would be gross. Because the picture is of a giant beetle in my apartment. The first time it happened (oh yes, it’s like that) I was sitting on the [...]

And in the afternoon

Jane Wonder — Tue, 26 May 2009 21:30:15 +0000

He asked me not to run from him anymore. He asked me to talk things over, said we could work it out. Said he wanted me to stay. He was supposed to help me stay. Until this afternoon when he ended it. He said I wanted more than he had to offer. And in the end, [...]

In the light of morning

Jane Wonder — Tue, 26 May 2009 11:44:33 +0000

In the light of morning, I feel like I should explain a few things. Please don’t take this to mean I am any happier or more at peace. I’m not. In fact, I feel physically ill. Still, this bears saying. I’ve known Big for a year and a half. We have been together in various forms [...]

Reverse

Jane Wonder — Tue, 26 May 2009 00:20:42 +0000

That’ll teach me to believe. He moved back. No really, you read it right. He. Moved. Back. I told him I can’t do things the way we were before. We need to spend more time together, and if that means he always has to be over here, so be it. It’s a dealbreaker and he’s aware. [...]
