Lots going on these days, both at work and on the home front. She confuses me more than any other girl I've known, but I melt completely when she's at her best. Sometimes she's so high strung (quite often, tbh) she's almost unbearable. I'm usually pretty good at sorting things like these out, but this is a tough call.

It's obvious it can't go on like this forever. The weird thing is that it works better the longer we spend time together – it's the starts and stops that's the problem.

We're going out on Saturday and we both know it's gonna be a perfect evening – and night. It always is.

I know it will be a failure to let this go. For both of us. But I realize I'm starting to fight to keep the interest up. Hope I can do it.

Crazy week ahead - three lunches and not a single evening off. And away with two other couples next weekend - and she is coming with me. Will be some sort of test, I guess.

Three dates with three different girls in the pipeline for next week. Strange set up: A knows about B and C – B knows about C – C knows nothing (and she is just a friend).

It's not as bad as it sounds, though. My conscience is clear.

A is absolutely fabulous, but as we both know very well – it can never be us. Quite sad actually.

So B it?

Extreme weekend: Home & abroad, very expensive & quite cheap, happy & sad, normal & weird, ups & downs, reassuring & confusing, warm & cold, close & distant, fast & slow, wise & stupid.

I'm not sure this is good for anything.

The art of focusing, pre-iPhone.

Late last night an sms popped up – and my eyes almost popped out: She asking me out to dinner – tonight. Life's indeed full of surprises. Speaking of which; I have a BIG one for her in two weeks.

I really don't have clue where this is going. I just find her extremely fascinating.

Last night was more than I could dare dream of - even seeing her again tonight. Compassion is a virtue, persistence pays and other clever sayings. Very, very, very happy now! She has more of that undefined something than anyone I've met, by far. Maybe except for her namesake, but that was in another life.

I know it's most probably doomed. It may even end very ugly. Still I believe it's worth going for - for both of us. Honestly.

Been working every day since xmas. Got an sms from her the other day – surreal, but nice. Can't really figure this one out. Have to see what 2011 has up the sleeve. A friend pointed out our starsigns are the worst match possible...

And yeah, been loosing (!) considerable weight this last weeks. Unintentionally, that is, just haven't been hungry. Wonder if I should keep it up. Don't want to be skinny, though.

Realistically, I never thought she would consent to that. Not her. Even more surprising as she'd never done it before; it was her who took the initiative. Best of all; we'll definitely do it again.

The fruit of well-planned, cunning patience.

And some understanding of the world's far most exciting, complex and wonderful thing: Woman.

Y-factor: E-mails out of this world – insane situation. Extremely exciting, but also quite disturbing. Quo vadis?
Z-factor (the actual x-factor?): First meeting next week. If? Surreal - absolutely, completely and totally surreal.

On top of that, the agenda is packed 24/7 every single day from Wednesday till next Tuesday.

A good friend recommended The Hangover. The title itself has been a big avoid-sign to me, not to mention the cover, but as she's a smart and funny girl I decided I'd give it a go.

I should have trusted my prejudice – good grief, what a piece of total crap. After 30 minutes of clichés and über-predictable collage humor I just couldn't take it anymore.
