On confidence
Losing 8.5% of my weight has boosted my self-image a bit. Someone I hadn't seen in a while noticed that I was looking good today. Feeling stronger and healthier has given me more energy and verve, and as such has made me feel a bit more confident in myself. I think people are noticing that in me a little now. It seems like I've been getting more positive reactions from people lately, in general.
I'm still a little gun shy about trying to ask someone out though, especially people I don't know too too well.
Someone said to me tonight that the best thing to do is to think that everyone is interested in me, and to act accordingly. The worst that could happen is that I would seem a little foolish and maybe make the person(s) I ask out uncomfortable. Does this course of action seem rash, gentle readers? Or should I just be going for the gusto?
I did get that call from that old flame... hard to say if anything will come of that, though she did say she might want to get together this coming Sunday.
Consumer note of the moment - NEVER EVER use Yahoo! Personals. They don't cancel your subscription when your ad runs out. WTF?? I haven't had an active ad on their site in months, yet I've been paying a monthly fee to them because I didn't actually cancel the subscription; even though it said the ad was expired!! So what the hell am I paying them for??
Bastards. I hate crap like that.
