Oh, Universe! You big jokster, you!

As you all know, I have my eye on a certain fella. Cute; good height; great smile; piercing, dark eyes; fashionable; similar sense of humor as moi; organized; single; etc. I psych myself up time and again to ask this guy out. However, no matter how much confidence I may muster, Madam Universe tells me, "It's just not time. Wait another two weeks, and I'll let you know then." Well, I'm finally heeding her suggestions and taking it down a notch or two. The next time I see him, I shall simply continue our small talk, but slip in questions about who he is, what he likes to do and so on. Maybe in a month or so I'll have everything in order so that the Universe thinks it right and proper to go ahead and make some sort of plans. Perhaps she's only stopping me because he has plans to ask me out instead. She does know how much I love a good romance.

"Why," you may be wondering, "didn't you ask him today, Renee?" Well, darling reader, that is because he was not even there today. *Sigh* Oh, Universe, you silly, silly girl!
