Brat
What do you know. German Roommie was dancing around the house, waving his arms with joy, spilling beer all over the living room. The girl he picked out on the internet agreed to meet up with him.
For the past 3 days, GRoommie has been prepping for his one date.
-- Chose an outfit.
-- Made a hair appointment.
-- Collected dating tips via friends and internet
-- Arranged & completed practice date with female friend. (Went "well" says GR.)
-- [and my favorite] Purchased an audio version of her favorite book, has listened to the entire novel now.
I allowed GRoommie to practice his flirting with me. It is unclear to me how much GRoommie has previously flirted with girls.
Fortunately, he has 4 more days to practice. The blonde-dream-girl-date happens this weekend.

In the meantime...
Gee, I have been single for FOREVER, I thought to myself. How long has it been?
I thought back to the IntGuy days, and I counted on my fingers. One month... two... three.
Three?
Confident that my single-life-complaints were justified, I was sure I'd mis-counted. I consulted my calendar. After some searching, I put a finger on my first single day, and counted from there. One week... two weeks... three... seven... nine... ten. TEN?
Ten weeks. I am apparently a brat at being single. (will need to comfort myself by collecting free dinners)
