Ficklish in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)

Someone called me fickle today. I guess I spouted too much on Friday when I was at a work function about NYF (with a colleague who met him in New York) about not being too thrilled about what was happening in our little scenario. And then when asked today about the rest of my weekend, I gushed quite a bit about him.

I’ve decided to TRY to not let my age get to me anymore. I think that was one of the main things that disturbed me about this little fling. I sort of felt like it was just a novelty—a funny story to write about and joke with my friends about. Like, of course, there’s no way that I could actually have a relationship with someone 10 years my junior. But it really doesn’t feel like we’re 10 years apart. He doesn’t mention it, anyway. I’m the one with the hang-up.

And I’d like to hang that issue up.

I just don’t want to be that old chick who’s still having drinks at the bar and dancing on the booths at the club. Is it wrong that I still think that’s fun every now and then? It’s not like I’m a regular at these places. Anymore.

I guess it’s like I was telling NYF on the way to the airport: I spent most of my 20s in a very serious relationship with someone I thought I was going to marry. I really didn’t go out and gallivant that much. So I guess I’m getting it all out. Squeezing the last drops. I just don’t want to go on like this for too much longer.

I’m saying it now. I want to settle down. That doesn’t mean I want to quit. To give up. I just want to lower the key a bit. I’m a little ashamed that I got piss drunk and had to be cabbed back to someone’s bachelor pad so that I could pass out. Ugh. That’s not attractive when you’re 20, let alone….you get the picture.

Tone it down. Yet still enjoy. Have my cake and eat it too. Look, touch, taste….just don’t devour.

It’s easier to digest that way.
