Yesterday I saw my lifelong friend Beth and met her boyfriend, Aaron. We went to eat at this place called Boho which called itself a gastropub but everything was greasy and sort of so-so -- except the food that Beth ordered and didn't like. Aaron and i ate that up.

As the waitress, who I hadnt really noticed, came by, she started talking about how she didnt like dating pretty people since they're such assholes and she wants to date people with great personalities because thats whats important and I listened to what she said and thought "damn that's familiar sounding."

After she left, Aaron and Beth were like "go for it" and I was like "uh no, cannot break my no-dating-actors rule." Plus I wasn't really attracted to her, so that ends up killing it that way.

Late last night I turned over and grabbed my blackberry and wrote the following phrase down...it resonates to me:

"She came up to me saying everything I was thinking and it revolted me so I just walked away. I must not sound so good these days"

I realized that it was flattering to have a waitress come up to me practically throwing herself at me but at the end of the day I have the self-esteem not to chase things that I don't want or are just given to me because they're put right there in front of me.
