The weekend just gone has been real shitty. Literally. The plumbing broke on Friday night, and sewerage leaked from outside into the downstairs room - which is where I sleep and have the computer. It's also the only room with carpet… So we called the landlord after I saw the carpets getting wet against the walls. An emergency plumber was called out to fix it, and he was here until midnight. Then the landlord was here on Saturday to clean the carpets. (But it still stinks.) And then some more plumbers were out yesterday to finish it all up. But then the cats decided to develop diarrhea all over the carpets that had been cleaned, and I had to clean that up three bloody times before I just put them outside and vowed never to let them back in again!! So I had a real smelly, shitty weekend…. it sucked badly! LOL

I had a good conversation with a friend (we'll call her Susie) on ICQ last night. We talked about the perception that others may have of me, particularly thinking I'm arrogant. It was pointed out to me last night by Venus that some people that we met on Saturday night (at a singles website get-together) felt that I was arrogant, and I was discussing that with Susie. The ones who thought I was arrogant were probably on the receiving end of an attitude that said "I'm not attracted to you, and I'm only here at this dating site meeting 'cause I succumbed to peer group pressure and the allure of a shouted beer or three, so please don't talk to me". Apparently my body language and attitude was completely different when I was chatting to an attractive woman there. Well, hello!!! Wake up and smell the roses, ladies. It's a type of arrogance that I'm quite happy to continue, 'cause I know what I want in this world, and having women come onto me who I'm not attracted to is one of those things I don't want.
