Things continue to progress with Laila. She came over Friday night and we just hung out and watched a movie while the dogs played. Our dogs get along tremendously, which is a huge plus. We had pizza for dinner and it was an easy order ... no f'n half and half like I had to do with Amber because she was a vegetarian. I'm starting to really like Laila, but I see two roadbumps. 1) She's not very "forward." I'm used to girls that really show an active interest, initiate cuddling and stuff like that. Laila seems more subdued, which leaves it on my shoulders to make moves and initiate things, which I'm not the best at. 2) She takes her time getting back to me ... whether it's email or phone, I don't get a quick reply very often. I'm more used to constant "pinging." So I have had to exercise extreme patience ... not my strongest quality. But when she DOES get back to me it's always good and she's giving me great non-forward vibes. She just bought and is moving into her house this past month (concluding this Friday). So she has a lot of reasons to be a bit scatterbrained.

Softball has officially started. I played a doubleheader yesterday and am surprisingly not sore today. Tomorrow I plan on resuming my gym running ... yuck. I hate running.

I talked to Michelle, the potential roommate, yesterday and she seems very nice. I guess her friend and other potential roomy is in my area this week, so I'll probably meet up with her at some point to show her my house. I'd give this whole thing a 75% chance of working right now. She says that right now I am their best option, and since there are two of them and they're already friends, they're my best option as well.

So earlier in the month I got knocked around a little, but I'm rebounding nicely. It takes a pretty good shot to get me down. ;-)
