And so ends another era of glory and light within the realm of a fading kingdom.

Yeah. On the upside, I managed ot get approval anmd praise for a quick sketych of the designs i forgot to bring to work for a co workers tattoo. that is veddy veddy good news.
I had made it a pont to talk to a good friend/co worker ofmy interest and get a feel for what would be proper to do, since i didn't want to drag my feet and possibly lose a chance(or make her think I had convictions about her) but at the same time, being a professional environment, I didn't want to harass, embaress or make her feel uncomfortable by being aggressive or pushy. So I talked to the friend.

On the upside i got a really good conversation out of it. It gave me insight and knowledge and a firm understanding about her that I wouldn't have really gotten 'small talk'in at work. But it also kills a lot of my chances for development, if not now, ever. She's very much busy with her family, particularly her kids. It's a full tiem job being a mother, I know, I came from a single parent household most of my life, and so she's not really looking for a date(that and i guess the father is pretty far away and likely a deadbeat). She is likely alweays looking for friends, who isn't eh?Luckily in the way i have acted with her, everythuing I said and did could be taken as a friendly casual act, or as something more, depending on how you wanted to see it, so I have managed to not offend, insult, or make her feel "creeped out". I am sure she's gotten it plenty of times before. she is gorgeous. it's gonna happen.

So yeah I'll relax and let things slide. I am not going to go 'cold fish' on her and walk away, mind you, I just won't a: let myself stress about it in the least and b: won't push for anythign except to be her friend, help if necessary, and little by little get to know her better. There is so much about her that seems fascinating and interesting and familiar yet... not. Hopefully time will answer the billion questions i have. Or in the least, create a few cute stories.

grabbed a few used movies and got a stuffed meat pizza from the local place. very nice place, well build, nice folks, and a pizza chef that's full blood italian and takes GREAT pride in his pizza's.
