Descriptions and Dreams

It's been kind of a cool day at work. I've been busy making pockets and check-out cards for our library books and my boss has been holed up in his office all day 'cause he split his pants in the morning.
We got some new kids and one of them, when I asked him his interests, replied, "Smoking weed." Nevertheless, I can tell he is a smart kid and fully bilingual. That is, both his English and Spanish are very good. (Some people THINK they are bilingual because their parents are foreigners but their Spanish is atrocious.)
I am currently in communication with a guy from our church in Glendale. My friend gave him my number and so far he keeps saying, "You're scaring me" whenever I tell him something about myself that is supposed to be incredibly similar to his own experience. This includes our birthdays being in March and our being Christians for six-and-half years. As far as I know he has no clue what I look like and of course, I don't know what he looks like either. I'm not very big on looks but I know most men are so I hope he is not dissappointed. So far he seems happy to have learned that number one, I don't look my age and, number two, I like to stay fit. He also seemed pleased that I drink because some Christians are teetotalers. I enjoy a Mojito here and there however. And Cosmos!
I don't know why I think he was pleased with what I hinted at as far as how I look because he has not asked me anything about that. Even so, it makes me wonder- how would I describe myself? I'm supposed to be a writer but I'm not good at physical descriptons of people, least of all me! I would make a lousy eye-witness. (A case I was involved in was actually dropped by the DA because of that.) I loved the "Seinfeld" episode when the characters are all describing each other and they say about Elaine that she "has a head like a frying pan and a wall of hair". I have apple cheeks, almost no chin, wide nostrils and full lips, and big but sleepy eyes. My hair is wavy and long, I am short and have a small but not flat bust and I have hips but I'm not thick or fat and have a reasonable booty. It's not something you can rest your drink on but it's not concave either.
RV3 just blogged about his naked-in-downtown dreams but my recurring dreams are usually about having to walk home alone in the dark and I end up in either a dark alley or some dark residential area. It's terrifying! I haven't had a flying dream in a long time but usually, if I'm dreaming something really good (this is going to make me sound ungrateful) I know that I'm dreaming because I know it can't really be happening. Oh well. My favorite dreams (this will make me sound ultra-religious) are about God.

    you look good enough for any guy. are you sure you don't want him to look good? it helps sooo much to be attracted to the man you're with. combined with the christianity thing and drinking. oh my goodness what a pair you'd make! if he's only soso, God will understand if you just stay friends.

    * I also hav e dreams about being chased or walking in the dark... Then I go into a building and end up going up steps, running down halls, climbing down firescapes. Sometimes I find the roof and fly off...
    * Keep us posted if anything evolves between you and the Glendale brother...
    * How wonderful that yopu have dreams about God! I don't think I do... ;-(

    What I admire and love about Spleengrrl's blogs the most is how confessional and true her entries are. Her rants are not about clubbing, cooking, comics or politics. Her entries are about her life and struggles and they truly feel like diary entries. I wish I could be as honest and open as she. Wow!
