It turns out that my flight was pushed back a day. So I'll be leaving for LA at 9am tomorrow. I'm going there to head up our part of the conference for iRi. It's nothing fancy, but I'm kinda excited about going. Never been out there before. I'll be working tomorrow - monday. Then, Tuesday I have my day off, and I come back 10pm Tuesday night. So I've got an entire day to myself in a new place. I think I might go crazy or something. Sooo looking forward to that one day of vacation.
With the other thing - the guy thing, things have gotten really...interesting. See, I went on that date with Ivan last weekend, and it went really well. He's a super nice guy, and I think he's totally smitten with me. I liked him a lot. He's been calling and txting me pretty much every day since. The only thing is that he's quite a bit older than I am (he's 41), which under normal circumstances wouldn't really bother me. And, I'm not bothered by it, really. On paper, he's a really great guy and I think we would be great dating each other. Except...now there's another player. It's too soon for me to talk about, so I'm not getting into any details. All I really want to say is that there's a definite connection there that I didn't really get with Ivan. And it's completely something I want to pursue. But, there are a few issues that aren't really issues unless we let them become that. Anyway, it comes down to that there are two people that are really great and each have incredible attributes. And though I don't have to make a decision because we're only dating, I think I know what I want to do. But again, it's too soon. But on the other hand, come next Wednesday, something's gonna change. It's just all kind of surreal. (and I swear this'll make sense when the time comes. lol)
I guess things with my parents have kind of iced over. Mom and Dad have been fighting a lot, which I guess is good because they're finally getting out the things they've been keeping from each other. I know that Mom's stopped calling every 5 minutes, which, though I love her - thank God. And I'm pretty sure she got the job she interviewed for the other day. I hope they can work everything out. It'd be wierd to be 23 and have your parents split up.
Anyway, I feel totally wierd right now. My eyes are open, things are a lot clearer now. I just knew things would get better again. I guess it's okay to go to the bad place, as long as you don't stay there. And if I've learned anything, it's that we all go there from time to time, but you can't let yourself get sucked into it. I think maybe I'm a stronger person that I give myself credit for, and of course a lot of that has to do with the fact that I do keep some wonderful people around me. And all of your words of wisdom help so much I don't think I can even put words to it. You all have faith in me even when I don't. It's kind of odd and silly, but I'm so thankful that I have all of you guys. *group hug*

Have a fabulous time in LA. Which my mom referred to once as 'You know. That place with the airport,' though I'm sure there's more to it than that ;)
