parallax23 | Why Does My Life Sound Like a Bad Novel? (Reply)

Since Jan.1, this has been my life:

my laptop crashed big time and I now am on another computer indefinitely
this crash occurred just as I was filling out an application for grad school due soon
my co-worker asked me out in front of everyone at work and I said 'Wait, are you serious? No."
that same co-worker ended up in the emergency room the following week and will now have to walk around with a heart monitor (I didn't break his heart, he's got plenty of girls he hooks up with and I'm not one of them, but still that's damn ironic)
my friend offered to set me up with one of his friends, who all seem like they're auditioning to be the next cliche FP story boy that gets rejected or Hannibal Lecter film villain -- again, hell no a few years ago, hell no today, in spite of how few options I have
in spite of my job interviews sounding like sitcom scenarios, I still miss them
I might have to be a bridesmaid again (I haven't kept a count but I do know I've gone more than three times and I'm really not too keen on going again, but this is the only time since my "retirement" that someone very close to me is getting married and there's no way I would or could say no. My mother now turns down requests if the person is not someone I've known for a long time or if I have not spoken to the person in years, if I even really met them at all.)
I'm reminded of the person from Best You Never Had in the most bizarre coincidences, after not thinking about him since then
I still haven't gotten any real writing done and I've restarted Prufrock for the seventeenth time

Sometimes I don't know why I don't just write about my experiences. Wait, there are already a couple of stories on FP that are eerily similar... Things like this sound way more cool when they're not happening to you.
