Paul, Paul, Paul....everyone will be so disappointed in you.  You met another attractive young lady at work today and didn't do anything about it.  She had such beautiful eyes, far apart and deepset like Christina Ricci.  Her face was shaped like an upsidedown drop of water with small, red-painted lips near the tip.  Her shoulder-length hair was pinned upon the back of her head like a strutting peacock.  She had such a heartbreakingly beautiful smile that she instantly captivated me.  And that's the problem.

It's so inappropriate to break the customer/sales associate relationship with the intention of creating another level of relationship.  That's the second time that work has provided a glimpse of what's not available in my current social circles.  And I find that frustrating. 

I'm not really looking for a girlfriend either.  As most already know, I prefer to befriend those I find attractive.  I figure that whatever made me attracted to them would make them a good friend.  Friendships have a higher value in my book simply because they are the basis of all deeper relationships.  It's stupid to try a build a pyramid from the top down.  It's also more rewarding to be friends than whatever you call failed suitees (is that a word?). 

This woman in black had a smile that was so sincere and pure, that she had to be a good person at heart.  You can just tell these kinds of things.  And people of good heart seem so few and far away these days that I'd like to befriend as many as I can. 

Claire was another woman like that who I wish I could have gotten to know better before she and her son moved to Ohio.  She'd smile in such a genuine way that it'd distract you from whatever conversation you were having.  I know we only went hiking together on a few occasions, but she was a wonderful person.  I enjoyed her company on those hikes, and I guess I still miss her. 

Well, I still have more to say, but the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is Thursday.  If I'm to attend mass in the morning before work, I should get some sleep.  Night all.
