Well, the first guy just left. He's a black man in his mid-thirties, just moved here from Ohio and currently/temporarily living with his mother ~120-130 miles (one way) from his job. He seems like a nice guy and fits my basic requirements of no smoking, no partying, no pets. He filled out an apartment application, which we left with the apartment manager. Hopefully we/he will find out whether or not he's approved by Monday. Of course, if he isn't, then I get to scramble even *more* deperately to find someone. Yay.

I am a creature of habit. I make ruts in my life and happily settle into them. Routine is my friend. And when I'm rattled out of my ruts by outside forces, I settle things down as quickly as I can.

Of course, this also means that it's very hard for me do break out of bad behaviors or situations, or to find my way to new or better habits. It's a strong reason for why I have difficulty meeting people; the prime prerequisite is going out to new places and trying new things.

...Actually, no, I need to correct that last statement. I don't have difficulty meeting people; I have difficulty talking to new people that I'm physically attracted to. I'm awkward in new situations, which when combined with being nervous around a hot guy, makes me not want to even try. Lost cause and all that. Oddly enough, I think that's part of the reason why I had such a good time at TBRU: I was with a group of people that I had known online for a while, so I had someplace to which I could retreat (metaphorical, people) so that I wasn't overwhelmed by all the new people.

Ungh. I don't know where I'm going with this, or even if I'm going anywhere.

I have to admit that I'm surprised at these results. Not that they're inaccurate, but that it matches up better than I expected.
