Where is she? Does she have cheating on her mind? Is she between another girls&#8217; thighs?<\/p>\n<p>I hate waiting for my calls to be returned. I feel unloved. As every minute ticks by, I feel less important. If I was a big shot, my calls would be returned right away. If she depended on me, she&#8217;d return my call right away. But she does not depend on me. I depend on her. Do I? Oh, God forbid.<\/p>\n<p>I am a manly man, no? I am strong and independent. I blaze my own trail on this here blog. I&#8217;m not dependent on this woman. I do not need her. I&#8217;m not clingy, God forbid. I don&#8217;t chase her. Or do I? How much do I chase her? I give her lots of room, right?<\/p>\n<p>So I called her motzi Shabbos. 6pm. That was almost two hours ago.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s Saturday night. What is she doing?<\/p>\n<p>Why does she always wait until after Shabbat before she calls?<\/p>\n<p>I told her that it was important to me that we spend Yom Kippur together. And then she does not call until I am at Kol Nidre.<\/p>\n<p>Damn, at least I&#8217;m getting a blog post out of it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to take the man&#8217;s role in this relationship. Therefore, I should make peace with being the pursuer. But it&#8217;s been almost a year now. I read that these things switch. First one party is the pursuer but if this role doesn&#8217;t switch then the relationship is doomed. One party can&#8217;t do all the pursuing until the end of time?<\/p>\n<p>I judge my importance to people by how long they take to return my calls. I think this is a fair and accurate perception.<\/p>\n<p>So how important am I to her? I am medium. She rarely goes a day without returning my call. At least I&#8217;ll get an email.<\/p>\n<p>She told me that email was not an appropriate way to return her call, but email is the way she often returns my call.<\/p>\n<p>What did that bloke Big say in Sex and they City? She can reach me whenever she wants, but I can&#8217;t reach her.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s because she has a real job. I don&#8217;t have a real job. I have a patchwork of inadequate jobs and every month I&#8217;m falling further behind financially.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s Saturday night. Where is she?
