I went to a party last night to celebrate my co-worker's marriage. It was a good time with free drinks and passed hors d'oeuvres. Disturbingly, one of my colleagues had a fainting spell and was taken away in an ambulance. It might have been overkill but better safe than sorry, I suppose. Sigh.
I also have a more interesting story to tell, but I'm not prepared to go into details just yet. Let me put it this way...a couple of years ago I published this post (excerpted below):
On Wednesday, the threat level was low. Today, it's guarded. How awesome is that? Even if nothing happens with this guy, the prospect is immensely helpful. Like, wow, maybe I actually will have a boyfriend again someday (something that I know intellectually to be true, but don't always feel). Plus, it's not like he is a mere distraction. I actually like him and I've known him for a while. Now, where are my friends so I can dish about him?
(I am worried now that I'm missing some terrible hidden flaw either in him or the situation and this will be over before it starts. I guess...that's ok. Even if we just had one great evening together, it's still something that is helping me move on. That is very good even if it doesn't turn into a full blown romance.)
Grateful for: new friends.

Boyfriend Advisory System
The threat levels of the Boyfriend Advisory System are:
Severe: severe risk of boyfriendHe calls you his girlfriend, you have a standing weekend date and/or you cook for each other regularly. In all likelihood, you now do have a boyfriend.High: high risk of boyfriend
You may not call him your boyfriend, but you see each other a few times a week, call or email daily and have no interest in dating anyone else.Elevated: significant risk of boyfriend
No one is saying "bf/gf", but you check in frequently, keep apprised of each other's day-to-day lives, and have at least one future date planned.Guarded: general risk of boyfriend
You met a guy. You like him, he likes you. Now someone needs to call.
Low: low risk of boyfriend
I just broke up with someone. Leave me alone.
