Dating

It's been a long time since I was actually dating, and that it was really different then. I had such a different idea about how it was supposed to be (really a little warped), and such a small group to pick from. I was really lucky to find who I did even if it didn't work out in the end.

I've always been really picky about who I spend my time with, and really haven't dated that many people, and for the first time I'm actually splitting my time between multiple women. They all know I'm not really in the right place now for a real relationship, but it's still fun. Still it's a bit of a juggling act to find time in my schedule. I have to keep the career as a priority (I really love my job). I've also got several side projects that keep wanting my attention, and all of them have the potential to be really lucrative. I'm making music a priority, it's one of the few things that makes me really happy. I've also got the friends that want some of my time. Luckily the insomnia is working to my advantage in this. When you only sleep for a couple of hours a night it gives you a lot more time for everything.

I do think I'm finally settling into the single life. I'm loving my new freedom, and starting to realize just what I had been missing. There is still a part of me that wants someone to share it with, but right now the compromises I'd have to make just make it not worth it.

So tonight it off to a LARP, then a night club. Tomorrow I'll spend some time with friends, and make a little music. Sunday is a date at the zoo. Somewhere in there I also have to spend some time working on a data mismatching bug in an import script. And, this is a light schedule.
