Something Lara said made me feel good about my own character this morning. We were talking about guys, and she asked if I ever talked to the a**hole. I was at a complete loss for who she could mean. Turns out that I don't automatically think poorly of people I've dated after we break up. Go me.

Speaking of men I've dated, it seems that my claim of pre-DC, post-high school "involvements" having been with guys currently headed for their PhD's seems to be turning toward the false. Steve has taken a rather well paying job in Sacramento, which also means that he's finally moved out of his parents' house. Go Steve! Not-a-date-Dave seems less fatalistic about grad school than he was a few months back, which is good to hear. He may still stop at the master's though. Exboyfriend-Dave is still on the same track, but he might be the least happy of the three precisely because he's the least open to change. Of course, he's also the one with whom I have the least contact, so my assessment could be completely off.

Is there a point to this post? Not really. Just musing.
