New Year, New People, New Situations

It's been an entertaining week! At first I freaked out a bit when "SEO guy" found my blog. Fortunately he did write that he thought it was good read. He also provided some advice and I may have to enlist his help to get this blog moved from Blogger.com to the URL I purchased a few months back - 30-and-single.com. It also works out because he's seeing someone and we decided to be friends. Therefore he will have technical information that I don't know and I don't have to hide the blog from him since he's in it. It's not fair if you write about someone and they know what you think and feel about the situation. Essentially it's like being able to read minds. Since I haven't perfected that skill yet, no one should get to have that power. So I changed the Facebook Notes settings to allow friends of friends to read the blog, but not everyone on Facebook like I previously had set.

However, there was a giant flaw in this plan. "Law student guy" (a/k/a Ricky Bobby for JR) friend requested me on Facebook last night. I immediately went into the settings having decided that if need be, I would stop importing the blog to Facebook. Fortunately, I discovered that you can make exceptions as to specific friends. So he won't be reading what I have to write about him.

With that said, "Law student guy" wrote me a couple more times on Monday, trying to catch me online. Eventually we traded our Gmail addresses so we could chat over GTalk. We've been chatting back and forth a lot. Monday and Wednesday we had great conversations but Tuesday he was pretty busy so there wasn't much chatting. The downside, he's going to law school at Penn State. Aside from the fact that I am not a fan of Penn State, it's also not in Pittsburgh. He says he comes home every weekend, break, and summer, it's still a whole lot of time of him not being in Pittsburgh. "Law student guy" plans to become a DA after law school in order to be involved in the community.

Apparently it's not the first time he's done community work. "Law student guy" said that he spent a year working with inner city kids in Philadelphia after getting his Master's degree from Temple. So he's also good at dodging bullets, which can prepare him for DA jobs in the following cities: Philadelphia, Detroit, Baltimore, Gary, and Compton. He's also had an in-depth discussion about economics with some drug dealers in Philly. The drug dealers apparently follow and have a good understanding of economic theory in their line of business. That's rather fascinating and I am going to have to hear more details of this story.

Tonight I'm looking forward to talking to him on the phone. I'm interested to see how the phone interaction works. I'm terrible on the phone, but I'll manage. The downside is that he's currently on his way back up to State College (a/k/a Evil Land) to get his books and start reading before classes start again on Monday. Maybe I'll get to meet him next week since tonight and tomorrow are out and I mentioned Saturday, but I'm not sure if he's available. I'm not too stressed though because so far, he really seems to like me. It's kind of adorable. However, I am keeping in mind that "Beaver county guy" seemed to really like me when we were text messaging and talking on the phone and we all saw how last Saturday turned out.

While I'm just getting to know "Law student guy", with my luck things will work out with him since he's not in Pittsburgh. Even though this is just speculation, if it does work out, I will be 100% convinced that there's something in the water in this city, which would explain why it's so tough to be single in Pittsburgh. Then I will have to publish this theory and go on a book tour. My life is borderline ridiculous as it is - I wouldn't be surprised if that happened.
