It's not often of late that there's been more on here other than random musings and comments in the general. Let alone any real reflection on me. But like any good thing, here's the exception.
I don't think I'm cut out for the dating game. I'm rather impatient, like answers then and there, attempt to organise things well in advance, take things personally, and generally jump to conclusions. I don't know why. I'd like to think that it's because of the nature of my current employment - a never ending torrent of cases, increasing in intensity and complexity, has infused me a higher sense of organisation and directness. Brevity, however, is yet to become a custom. Anyways, we're off topic.
The point being that perhaps these traits are my downfall. Time to break with tradition and get into detail. I met Serendipity, I met a girl. It was unexpected, and circumstances somehow aligned to meet and have a great time. The lawyer gods conspired to not only have me appear at a pre-ball, appear fully suited despite not having a ticket to the main event, and meet new people, but meet someone who made me smile with ease. I hadn't felt that good in some time. There's actually a bloody great photo (some have seen it), but I won't be posting it here just in case I've said too much already.
Which brings me round to why the dating game may not be for me. All this leaving fate in someone else's hands isn't something I'm used to doing; wresting control is not a trait that comes easily. Neither is patience for that matter. But I do have what she described as ample, and agreeable, disregard for the precepts of man law. You know, the 3 day rule and so forth.
Well, after my somewhat unsuccessful initial efforts to arrange a catch up despite my rather heavy timetable, I managed to take a deep breath and hand control over it; realising there's not much more can be done by me is hard.
I'm really leaving it all up to Serendipity I guess.

I never liked the 3 day rule myself - after meeting Arij in fact, we spent the next 3 consecutive days hanging out. And within two weeks after she had returned to the east coast, I was on a plane chasing after her. So have fun! Enjoy! And forget all those "rules" - just be yourself (you really can't do better than that!)
Reading over that I can practically smell the cheese oozing from my monitor, but sometimes it just has to be said I guess. :)
Patrick's right. If it feels right, go for it. But if she breaks your heart I get to stomp on her.
