The one that got away...

So on Saturday, at my other job, [when I don't work in the Admissions office at my university, I work as a secretary for a non-profit organization] we had a board of directors meeting. Of course, the privilege of keeping time and notes was my assigned to me. The meeting went well, but I felt so inferior in comparison to some of the people who there. First of all, every single person in the room either had two or more university degrees or a PhD. Can you say holy crap? During the meeting, I sat between this distinguished Classicist, who is now a retired professor, and this other professor who teaches at the university I attend. I felt so awkward because some of the jokes they were made just went right over my head. Here they are making a joke about Epicurus and here's me look bafffled. Once everyone started to laugh though, I figured, what the hell, I'll throw in a giggle too, just so I don't look like an idiot with a confused look on my face.

Besides the meeting, my weekend was filled with studying for my final exam which I wrote today. I can proudly say that I rocked that bitch! The exam went so well! I have never felt more confident about handing in an exam before.

It's gorgeous outside today, and instead of going outside to enjoy the weather, I stayed inside and slept. Why you may ask? Well, because I just couldn't fall asleep last night. You can imagine me trying to wake up this morning. Ugh, it was brutally painful. Even the lady at Tim Horton's knew that I needed a large cup of coffee.

So, do ya'll remember ToonMan? [Check out the post - A Slow yet Insightful Night (February archives), if you don't.] He sent me an email today telling me about a the really cool gift he got his girlfriend for Easter. He took a Kinder Surprise egg (the big one), carefully unwrapped it, opened the egg, took out the toy, inserted a beautiful blue necklace inside, and closed the egg back up, and wrapped it so it didn't look tampered with. *Sigh* Of course Mrs. Masters loved the gift. What I would give to be in her place right now.

I must admit, I think I still have feelings for him. Oh my God. I can't believe I just said that out loud. I actually have feelings for ToonMan. But is there any way that I can replace Mrs. Masters? She is the apple of his eye, the jelly on his peanut-butter sandwhich. He keeps telling me how much he loves her and how he wants to eventually marry her. God, I can't believe he's talking to her about marriage. Can I really come between the two of them when he is so happy? Probably not.

Come to think of it, every guy that I have ever dated, I have compared to ToonMan. Perhaps that's why I'm "single." [Update: Bricks and I are through. He was just getting a little too creepy for me.] Nobody can live up to him. How can you let go of something you like so much? He was the one that got away.
