I tend to dread mercury retrogrades because it's a time for failure. However, I always find it neat that people from my past always turn up around this time.

Today, I was emailing with Dr. L. Now, he and and I aren't friends or anything like that. He was using my friend's MSN account for a while when he didn't know how to get his own. Anyway, I ended up deleting that account because my friend wasn't using it anymore. So today my friend came online and chatted me up.

Only, she was acting a little strange. Her typing style was totally different. Anyway, we talked about Dr. L, and she was like, "I think he's so sexy..." blah blah She sent me a photo of him. And then she told me to email her a picture of me to pass along to him. But then she tried to set up a time for me to MSN with her again (totally unlike her!), and since it wasn't going to work out, she told me to send Dr. L an email since he was going to come to town next week.

So I sent Dr. L and email, and he regretfully told me I was the butt of a prank! It was his cousin all along. Anyhow, we just started emailing back and forth. He thinks I am absolutely gorgeous. But whatever. His written English was so good! (Well, he is English, after all...) And he sounds dreamy...he travels, volunteers at a children's hospital, and lives in LONDON!! He gave me his number. I think I will call him.

I couldn't do it tonight. I just didn't feel tonight was the right time to cut off Cute Butt Boy. I'm not sure when I am going to do it. Nonetheless, I am choked that he didn't talk about getting together any time soon when we spoke on the phone today. I had my opportunity to share my thoughts. I had told him I wanted to talk to him about something. (How girly of me to not just spit it out?!) He asked me if it was something he should be concerned about. Is it? I don't know. *L*

Oooh and Big Brother 7 started tonight. The schedule this summer is so much better. At least the show is always on at the same time, and it's also on Sundays. These houseguests are hardcore. They are already plotting! I don't know who I want to win right now, but I've always liked Janelle. I hate George. And Diane was actually looking good!! Will got ugly.

Edit: Dr. L seems a little off to me. I'm going with my gut on this. And I did not call him! We had another flurry of emails. When I brought up talking on the phone, he said "later." And when I asked him why, he just said ":-)" And when I asked, "do you not want to wake your wife," he said, ":-)" WTF?!
