wedding-ness

update: IG is off-limits, b/c (as i only seem to remember once i see him in person) it's too much work to try to get anything started w/him. also, he is in some strange love-triangle w/an ex and a new interest. at least i know he respects my editing prowess (i looked over his best man's speech for him).

other guy i thought perhaps i would have an opportunity w/is apparently thinking about buying a house (in the suburbs!) w/his serious girlfriend (when did this happen???).

i had a long conversation w/HT (we are sharing a hotel room) on the drive to the wedding location (i flew in a day early to hang out w/him, GL, BL, FM, IG and other assorted people) about love and marriage and relationships. we established the wide-ranging applicability of "[s]he's just not that into you" and talked about scores and scales (reminiscent of CB). also, the immaturity of certain friends (ahem, FM and everyone else who let him do it or egged him on) who put HT in a relationship on Facebook the night of JMS's bachelor party (i discovered it a few days ago by Facebook-stalking HT. suffice to say he's still upset about it).

i thought i'd perhaps get to hang out w/PG and FB who are also attending a wedding but in a neighboring state this weekend, but our two attempts so far have fallen flat.

trying to decide what to do w/my day. do work b/c goodness knows i have a shitton to do? go for a run w/the bride-to-be? go to the gym? attempt to find FM's girlfriend and get breakfast? go shopping? chill out by the pool and catch up on back issues of "lucky, the magazine about shopping"? i just have to be back mid-afternoon to shuttle groomsmen (and women, as BL is a groomslady) to the church. perhaps i should start getting myself psyched for the dinner, at which i may end up sitting at a table w/unfortunate drooling single losers (i was bumped from a table w/HT and some other college people by aforementioned "other guy"'s girlfriend (the ones who are thinking of buying a house together) who has decided to come). HT says that there are 7 single girls at the wedding--the bride-to-be didn't tell him how many single guys are going to be in attendance. i know of at least two that i will definitely not be doing anything w/b/c i knew them from college and they are still unfortunate.

all in all, an exhausting weekend w/little sleep. so far i've cleaned out HT's closet, consumed large amounts of alcohol, and have not really mingled w/guests of the wedding that i don't know--this does not bode well for my chances of finding a cute single guy to kissy-face w/. at least i don't have to wear spanx w/my dress tonight!
