Seize The Carp

Update of Sorts

Every girl wants to be swept off her feet, right?? She wants that element of surprise, the spontanaity, the offer she just can't say no to. Right?
I used to think so. Maybe it's this time of year, I don't know. Almost a year ago I had a friend propose to me. Not the kind of proposal a friend makes either. It wasn't the if neither of us are married by the time we're this age, then we get married type. It was, "Elyse, will you marry me?" I was shocked and taken aback to say the least. That fits the aforementioned criteria. I changed the subject. Nothing was ever said about it again.
Last week, a friend came into town and wanted to meet up. I was having a shindig so I invited him. The night progresses and he tells me that timing has been a bitch before and that he knows he took our friendship for granted. He wants me to come out to where he lives, and he knows I'm who he's supposed to spend the rest of his life with. Again, fits the aforementioned criteria. This friend could've been a distinct possiblity, but I couldn't answer. How could I answer? It was so arbitrary.
I'm sort of dating someone at the moment. We're not together, but we're both interested. I want to see where things go with this guy. I'm smitten. I'm impressed. What's another word that means the same as the first two? I'm that! But things between us are moving slow. A kind of slow that I'm not used to. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but I'm still not used to it. With the proclaimation I received this weekend though, I got confused and felt things should hurry. But I decided against that. No reason to let something that doesn't have to do with him speed things up.
Besides, I haven't heard from the other guy since coffee the next day. He has to prove himself.
Why does a girl have to have options? My life is very much like a TV show right now. If you've been watching Grey's Anatomy, you've been watching my life. I'm the dark and twisty one.
Oh! Another update! We have a roommate to take Awesome's place. He was moving some things in yesterday, and his mom was helping him. I showed his mom around the house, and she asked me if we would want a cat!! I think I said no a little too harshly. Is it so obvious that there will be cats in my future that complete strangers want to give me cats now??
I'm done! I need to do research. Maybe that will keep me from going insane.
