It took less time than I thought it would, but I found someone wonderful to replace the hole Julie left in my heart. Using the wonder that is a person search, I found a lovely girl named Paula who actually thought it was way cool I looked her up. She's not into the whole traditional thing. She says we're in the 21st century and shouldn't be tied to old school "courting rituals" that are "heteronormative" (whatever that means). She wants me to teach her how to search people, which is going to be so fun to do. Can't wait, actually.
Another thing Paula loves is music. Her taste is way more eclectic than mine and she knows tons more bands. At least I can come up with funny stuff like this record label diets list to entertain her. I hope she doesn't think I want her to go on a diet or that I think she's fat. Uh oh, that'd be horrible. Maybe I should wait to give her that one until we know each other a bit better.
