So I decided to get on with my life – my love life specifically – and talked to 2 guys last night.  Wouldn’t you know it, while I’m on the phone with one (and chatting with the other online) the kid calls!  I didn’t take the call but did call him back to see what the hell he wanted.  Turns out he’s sorry and wants to take another stab at it.  I said sure, but told him about the online dating thing.  He said that was fine just as long as I didn’t do anything more than talk with these guys.  Like he’s in a position to tell me how to live my life!  Anyway, come to find out he really wants me to come visit him so I can smuggle him in some chew like I did when he was at the regional center.  I’ve got really mixed emotions about this.  On the one hand I’ve got like $30 to last me until payday next Tuesday and I need to buy smokes for myself.  Plus it would be nice to have a few bucks to go out this weekend if things pan out with the new guy.  On the other hand I feel like I’m being used again, just like with the boyfriend – it’s not “what I can I do for Pip?” it’s “what’s Pip gonna do for me today?”  And quite frankly I’m getting tired of it.

To make things even more interesting last night, the old boyfriend did call me from wherever the hell it is he’s hiding out these days – just to “check” on me.  What he really wanted to know was whether or not I’ve gotten his name covered up yet.  What a loser.

Anyway, the new guy thing is going pretty decently so far.  We’ve been texting mostly, though I did get him to actually call me last night so I could hear his voice.  Sexy!  And he thinks my tattoos are sexy, so that’s a major plus.  AND I dropped the bipolar bomb on him (his ex wife has it bad apparently) and he didn’t flinch.  WHOO-HOOO!  We may have a major score here, it’s just a little too early to tell yet.  But it’s definitely got potential.
