Scooby, where am I?
I'm alive! I didn't die of a horrible snowboarding injury. Quite the opposite, I had soooooooooooooo much fun!! I was so in the zone on the slopes, I can't even describe it. During the 2 slope days, there was sun, there were clouds, there was snow. The conditions went from icy, to slushy, to hard-packed, to powder over ice. Regardless, I felt like a Pro handling the ever-changing conditions. I didn't even fall while careening down the runs. Ahhhh powder, oh shit ice! Oh how I wish to be there right now. Instead, I'm staring out my office window at rain. I *heart* driving in the rain, BTW.
Nothing exciting to report from the weekend, aside from great slope time and lots of QT with friends. I was so exhausted from full days of snowboarding, I actually stayed in and clunked out at night. So, no boy or flirt news. I know, you love to hear about my retardation. I'm sorry to disappoint. This might be the beginning of a long streak of disappointments. OCG decided to date one of her suitors "exclusively". So, I'm not sure how active I'll be on boy prowl status from now on. She's been my prodding motivation for bar hopping and always going out. We shall see.
On that topic, help me understand something. So "dating exclusively" isn't the same as boyfriend/girlfriend status? Isn't saying you want to date someone exclusively mean some degree of "seriousness"? OCG doesn't seem to think so. She claims the equivalent of "bros before hos", when I joked when she's going to move him to her #1 spot on MySpace, and when she was going to change her status to "in a relationship".
" Oh no, I'm not changing anything."
Hmmm... Not that I'm saying once the "we're not dating anyone else" conversation happens, you're joined at the hip 24/7, but I don't know. What does it mean? I guess to me, before you have THAT conversation, you can sense whether the other person is dating around, and whether they do or not, you should be fine with it. You're both allowed to "date around." But once you discuss exclusivity, that's relationship status, no? I think so... What do you think?
Oh! I saw them on Sunday! Awe-some!
On tap this weekend... Going to a thing for a friend who's home for 2 weeks from Iraq. Can't wait to give him a big hug! I won't even get started on my views of the war, because it'll be a novel. What I will say is it saddens me that he has to go back in a few days.
I'm also going to see my friends play at the Roxy. Then good 'ol paintin' on Saturday. I'm suppose to paint this pic I took photo-realistically:
I really hope I'll come close, because I'd love to hang it somewhere in my home. Wish me luck!

Hey there BTC! Welcome back.
As far as "dating exclusively", you have to be in a pretty good relationship for it to get to that point. Usually, both people aren't at that stage at the same time, and one person is DE, while the other is more DSE (Dating Somewhat Exclusively).
All my relationships have started with "DE". But maybe it's because I'm 22 and my last relationship started when I was 17. Maybe younger people don't do DSE. Maybe it's me and the guys.
In my eyes, "Exclusive Dating" is the same thing as "Relationship" is the same thing as "Boyfriend/Girlfriend"
If someone thinks otherwise, then that relationship is pretty doomed. ;)
SGB: I agree EXCEPT, they had the "we're not going to date other people" conversation. So it just seems odd to me that there's still gray area at this point. Personally, if someone told me they wanted to date me exclusively and they were lackadaisical about our relationship, then BOOT!
len: I guess it takes the 2 to define and be okay with whatever it is they're in.
stuck: I agree. That's they way I work it.
~bcol: I mean, I never had to talk about it, it was just understood.
