Words Just Keep Failing Me
Posted by Moose on November 9th, 2008. Filed under: Love.As a truly dedicated procrastinator, the more there is to say, the more likely I am to slink off the internet and hide my laptop under a cushion where I don’t have to see it mocking me. I’m much better at writing haikus about a slab of brie than I am at discussing anything of real importance. Yes, my communication skills are stellar. I give seminars.
Therefore! A list of important things:
1. Obama got elected. (Someone may have had the eloquent reaction of: “If I’d known I was going to be jumping up and down so much, I would’ve worn a bra.”)
2. My lovely friend May got married. (Sadly, Buster the yodeling chihuahua was not part of the ceremony. I plan to dress him in a veil for a Humiliate Small Helpless Dogs photo shoot.)
3. I re-entered the dating pool. (And flailed wildly, by the way, reminding myself of the time I was swimming and a friend’s dad had to jump in, sneakers and all, because it looked like I was going to meet my maker with a snout full of chlorine.)
4. I joined Twitter. (Which may or may not belong on a list of Important Things. You decide.)
Regarding point number one: Hope may be naive, but I take comfort in knowing that never have so many people wanted one man to succeed.
Regarding point number two: I wish I had a photo of May’s face as she walked down the aisle. And of her new husband’s as he watched her. But I don’t. So I will have to ask you to imagine the glow. THERE WAS DEFINITE GLOWING. Not to mention some damn fine mozzarella.
Weddings depressed me for awhile, but now I find it reassuring to see that much love gathered into one well-dressed room. Which segues nicely into point number three: Love is out there, whether it’s coming for me any time soon or not. Nothing naive in that hope.
To all the new beginnings of this past week. And to spending next week catching up on sleep. Don’t worry, Mr. President Elect, I’ll sleep enough for you too. Just doing my part for our country.

The fact that you joined Twitter made my week. Honestly.
Welcome to the Dark Side.

Dude! I almost signed up for Twitter Saturday night while I was sitting in the cold car waiting 5 hours for the tow truck to come rescue us and take us home. I didn’t though. Let me know how you like it.

Bless you and the water buffalos who provided the mozzarella di bufala.
We were so honored to have you at our wedding and SO RIDICULOUSLY HAPPY now.
Love it out there and the grandness of it will shock you.

Um, Moosey? I saw, “Don’t worry, Mr. President Elect, I’ll sleep enough for you too. Just doing my part for our country.”
and I read, Don’t worry, Mr. President Elect, I’ll sleep with you, too. Just doing my part for our country.
Screw wearing a flag shirt! Moose will sleep with the president! GOOOOO MOOSE!

Over-Thinker: HA! Yeah, I sort of worried about that as I wrote it. I have a knack for miscommunication. One could even say it’s my calling.

I totally know what you mean about the bra. reminds me of when I was running down the stairs to grab my phone to make a call of excitement to my sister and had to cup my breasts because I was in my pajamas. And I’m only a 34 B. (arent you glad you know?) Oh boy. Dating! Well. Well. That’s all I have to say about that. Exciting?

Love it!

You already know how thrilled I was that you joined Twitter, seeing as how I’m pretty sure I direct messaged you within thirty seconds of seeing you there. Hi! patience, I have none.
And, hurrah! for weddings. They surely do bring The Hopeful, always.

Just this week I started feeling optimistic enough to re-join the dating pool. When this officially happens, I am totally challenging you to an Awkward Date Off! Because I have mad skillz in that area, yo.
