Stupid boys and stupid crushes

So there's another summer worker at where I'm working this summer who I've developed a little bit of a crush on. This speaks volumes about how difficult it is for me to meet nice, real guys. Unfortunately for me, he's only 21 (3.5 years younger than me) and he's from South Africa (love the accent), where he'll be returning mid-July. I showed him around some of my favorite places in LA today since he's never been to Southern California before, and I had the most fun with him than I've had one-on-one with a guy in years (yes, years, and yes, literally years, not figuratively). I might as well be crushing on a celebrity because nothing's ever really gonna happen, since there's no time for something to happen. Be grateful for what you are given because you never know when you will wake up and it will be gone. I just wish I could have met a great guy who was going to be around for longer than a month. One of these days, right?

Can I trade lives?

Things have been going bad for me during the past 72 hours, including getting rear-ended on the freeway late on Saturday night. I suppose I should be grateful that I am not in the hospital, but it still sucks that my car's in the shop indefinitely. It makes what else happened this weekend and today that much worse, such as getting threatened with arrest for a DUI by the asshole (Middle Easterner whose English left much to be desired) who was the boss of the taxi driver who rubbed up against me in an intersection when my car had eventually died in the turn lane (leaving a bright green paint streak on the driver's side). I dunno who I pissed off up there, but I really hope that this all means that some really great stuff is coming my way soon. Fingers crossed!
