1. When does your new job start?

I changed the day. My last day at my current job is this Friday. I changed the start day for my other job to August 23rd. This gives me a chance to get moved, finish up some other interviews, visit friends and relax a bit. I am still hoping another offer comes through, but if not I will be happy with the job offer I accepted.

2. Are you looking for a serious relationship after this last one, or are you really just looking to have self time punctuated by some casual company from time to time?

Good question. Honestly, I’m not really *looking* for anything. To put it simply, my last relationship was hell and I could really use some time to regroup. It’s been almost a year, but she is still basically a daily part of my life until I move, and so it doesn’t really feel like it has been that long. That said, if Ms. Perfect-for-me knocks on my door, I’m sure not going to slam the door in her face! I know I talk a lot of smack, but I am really no good at the ‘casual company’ thing. Call me corny, but it is hard for me to be with someone if I cannot at least see a future with her.

3. Favourite type of game. And favourite game of that genre. I’m so burnt out on what I’ve got laying around here.

My all time favorite is probably Tetris. Don’t laugh ;p If you get together with friends, pick up Cranium – that game really kicks ass. I haven’t really had the time lately to commit to long games. I play Risk (downloaded, play against the PC), Free cell and Mah Jong to give my brain something to do. I played TTO for a bit with Ana, but had to cancel because I didn’t have the time. Before that, DaoC was the last thing I played.

4. Do you ever plan on having children?

When I was younger, I was told I couldn’t have children, and so I convinced myself that I didn’t want them. Since then, several doctors have told me the first doctor was a quack, and I can. So, I had to do a lot of soul searching. Yes, I do want children. I think I want to have a kid with my genes running around, but I wouldn’t feel like a failure if I never made a little Amy. I’d be fine with adopting or if my gf had a kid.

5. Come on, you really want to give Philez a chance, don’t ya? *grin* (Not with children, just fulfill his hopes and dreams.:)

Eh, I’ve had a few intelligent, gorgeous, and wealthy men offer me everything I could dream of if I would be with them. I don’t hate men, I just can’t see myself ever falling in love with one. Poor Phil.

When I was in HS, I dated a few guys. We’d be making out, and I’d tell myself “If he can just turn me on, then I’ll have sex with him.” It never happened. I’m really not wired that way. I really don’t have any curiosities about what it would be like to be with a man. After the first woman I was with stomped all over my heart, I dated a really great guy in college for a week or two. I didn’t come out to him until much later, and I’m afraid at the time I really hurt and confused him. He had so many awesome qualities, but *something* was missing.
