Out There - Monday, September 29, 2008 Sherry: Good for you. Was it worth the wait? / Miriam: No, it was horrible. / Sherry: Oh... I'm sorry. / Miriam: It was horrible because he wasn't into it at all. Can you believe it? / Sherry:Well maybe it was too sudden. Maybe next time he - / Miriam: Uh, yeah, it was definitely too sudden. And there...
Out There - Tuesday, September 30, 2008 Miriam: Anyway, yeah, I sort of forced him into it. / Sherry: I have trouble picturing that. What did you do, tie him to a chair? / Miriam: No, it wasn't like that. I just grabbed him and kissed him before he could react. He really couldn't have done anything about it. / Miriam: See, I didn't think...
Out There - Wednesday, October 1, 2008 Sherry: I'm sorry, Mir. Anyway, I wouldn’t take it personally. It’s pretty obvious John just isn’t interested in dating. / Miriam: He dated *you.* / Sherry: No, he *hung out* with me. We weren’t dating. There was no romance. We’re good friends; just like he and *you* are good friends. / Miriam: I dunno...
Out There - Thursday, October 2, 2008 Sherry: So… are things going to be a little awkward around here for awhile? / Miriam: Oh, who knows. I’m sure I’ll get over it. Rejection is new to me, but hey, life is a learning experience. / Sherry: And John seems to be the type to roll with the punches. Or kisses, as the case may be. / Miriam: Maybe...
Out There - Friday, October 3, 2008 Miriam: *I* should apologize to *him?* What the hell *for?* / Sherry: What if someone kissed *you* against *your* will? / Miriam: Oh, all right… I guess I see your point. I’ll tell him I’m sorry. Anything to keep things from being too weird around here. / Sherry: Yeah, we all have to live and work together....
 
Out There - Saturday, October 4, 2008 [[Miriam and John are in Sherry's living room, John is laying on the couch looking like he's ready to go to sleep]] Miriam: John, I just wanted to apologize for kissing you. It was a mistake, and I’m sorry. / John: That’s all right, Miriam. / Miriam: I was confused at the time, but that doesn’t excuse...
Out There - Monday, October 6, 2008 Miriam [[thinking, sitting up in bed in the middle of the night]]: I can’t sleep. I close my eyes, and I don’t fall asleep. / Miriam [[thinking]]: This is what *real* loneliness is like. Alone-in-a-crowd loneliness is one thing, *this* is hardcore lonely-by-myself loneliness. / [[Miriam reaches for...
Out There - Tuesday, October 7, 2008 Miriam [[thinking while lighting a cigarette]]: It’s been rare for me to be alone for any length of time. The only time recently was during the Internet phase with Chuck. / Miriam [[thinking]]: But I never *felt* like I was alone then, because the anticipation of meeting him for *real* was always there. / Miriam...
Out There - Wednesday, October 8, 2008 Miriam [[sitting at her window with a drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other]]: So, what now? I can’t get back together with Chuck, John doesn’t want me, nobody else is of any particular interest… / Miriam [[thinking]]: Should I go back to spending all my time with guys I’m not all that into,...
Out There - Thursday, October 9, 2008 Miriam [[thinking, sitting on her bed while putting out a cigarette butt in the ashtray]] I wouldn’t be feeling so lousy if I hadn’t broken up with Chuck. Maybe it was a mistake. / Miriam [[thinking, standing up]]: Sure, we weren’t exactly perfect for each other, but we were doing pretty well regardless....
 
Out There - Friday, October 10, 2008 Miriam [[thinking, looking a a sleeping John]]: I wonder how strong his resolve is… / Miriam [[thinking]]: With the full court press on, I’m sure even *he* would find me all but *impossible* to resist… God, this could be so *easy*… and so *wrong.* / Miriam [[thinking]]: Why was I given *this* body,...
Out There - Saturday, October 11, 2008 [[Living room. John is lying on the couch, sleeping. Miriam is watching him, having an internal monologue.]] / Miriam {{thinking}}: My god, Miriam, get a hold of yourself. This is almost akin to STALKING the poor guy. / Miriam {{thinking}}: He doesn't want you; get OVER it. You have to LIVE with him...
Out There - Monday, October 13, 2008 Miriam [[driving, talking on cell phone]]: Ari, we need to do lunch. / Araceli [[talking on cell phone while walking with Rod]]: Actually, Mir, I’m on my way out to have lunch with Rod right now. I suppose I could ask him if he’d mind if you joined us. / [[Miriam waits for response]] / Araceli: He...
Out There - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 Araceli: I’m really, sorry, Mir… I hope our little trip together didn’t have anything to do with it. / Miriam: It didn’t. / Miriam: We just weren’t right for each other, but we were fooling ourselves for awhile, because, well, y’know. / Rod: I *don’t* know, can you expound on that? / Miriam: There are...
Out There - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 Miriam: So, if that wasn’t bad enough, I capped it off by getting turned down by John. / Araceli: Ouch. / Miriam: I came on way too strong and way too fast and he just isn’t interested anyway, and probably never will be. / Rod: Is this the same John who captivated *you,* Ari? / Miriam: Wha—?! Captivated...
 
Out There - Thursday, October 16, 2008 Araceli: I think John is a very interesting person, and I liked his chili, that’s all. I don’t have the hots for him or anything. / Miriam: I see. / Araceli: Anyway, I thought he and Sherry were going out. What happened there? / Miriam: Nothing. Apparently we just keep him around to frustrate us. / Rod:...
Out There - Friday, October 17, 2008 Rod: *I knew it!* / Miriam: Um, did what you just say mean what I *think* it meant? / Araceli: I dunno, what did I just say? / Miriam: That you’re attracted to Sherry? / Araceli: Did I say that? I don’t think I said that. / Rod: You didn’t *need* to, hon. / Miriam: What *is* it about Sherry lately? Why...
Out There - Saturday, October 18, 2008 Araceli: Okay, so I find Sherry attractive. What difference does it make? It’s not like anything’s going to happen, since she’s straight. / Rod: Alas, poor Ari. Now you know how *I* feel, my dear, shut out because I long for one who is not attracted to my gender. / Araceli: What are you talking about?! / Araceli:...
Out There - Monday, October 20, 2008 Miriam [[driving, talking on cell phone]]: Hi Chuck, I’m just calling to see how you’re doing. / Chuck [[at office, talking on phone]]: I’m doing okay. How are *you* doing? / Miriam: Ehh, not so great, actually. But I’m glad to hear that *you’re* doing good. / Miriam: Except in the sense that it makes...
Out There - Tuesday, October 21, 2008 Miriam [[sitting in parked car, talking on cell phone]]: Do you think we made a mistake breaking up? Do you we should have taken more time to think it over? / Chuck: No, I’m sure we would have eventually broken up, regardless. Not waiting to long to do it was probably smart. / Miriam: I guess so. Maybe...
 
Out There - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 Chuck [[on phone]]: Miriam, I think it’s normal to have *some* regrets. But I also think breaking up was right for both of us, and I'm sure you do too. / Miriam: [[on phone, in parked car, brushing hair while looking into rear-view mirror]]: Yeah… / Chuck: But we’re still friends, right? We should make...
Out There - Thursday, October 23, 2008 Miriam [[thinking, sitting on couch with a drink in her hand]]: This sucks. I really had it in my head that I was finally ready to try to settle down in a committed relationship… / Miriam [[thinking]]: And yet, it didn’t work out. The question is, was it Chuck’s fault, or was it mine? Was I actually...
Out There - Friday, October 24, 2008 Miriam [[thinking, sitting on the couch shaving legs with one hand while holding a drink in her other hand]]: Shaving one’s legs while drunk is no easy task… that’s why only us *professionals* should attempt it. / Miriam [[thinking]]: Hmmm… alcohol, depression, and a razor… that’s kind of a dangerous...
Out There - Saturday, October 25, 2008 Miriam [[talking on phone]]: Sher, do you mind if I take tonight off? / Sherry: Um… I guess not. What’s up? / Miriam: Well, I’ve been sitting here drinking for several hours now, and I think I might not be in the best condition to work. / Sherry: Great. / Miriam: I’m sorry, Sher. I can pull myself together...
Out There - Monday, October 27, 2008 Miriam [[walking into Sherry's bar]]: *Attention bar patrons!* / Miriam [[climbing up onto the bar]]: *The incredibly sexy barmaid is officially no longer off-limits! You may hit on her at will!* / Miriam [[striking a pose while standing on top of the bar]]: *Moreover, the incredibly sexy barmaid is...
 
Out There - Tuesday, October 28, 2008 Sherry [[to Miriam, who is standing atop the bar]]: Miriam, what the hell are you doing? / Miriam: Living a life, Sher, living a life! / Miriam: What would you have me do, sit and wallow in my loneliness and despair? Screw that! Why should someone like *me* have to be lonely? / Miriam [[to a group of...
Out There - Wednesday, October 29, 2008 John [[from behind the bar]]: Miriam, come on down, this isn’t doing anyone any good. / Miriam [[Standing on the bar above a pleased-looking congregation of men whose attention she has captured]]: What do *you* care, John? / Miriam [[on her hand on knees]]: You didn’t want me, so what am I supposed to...
Out There - Thursday, October 30, 2008 Miriam [[getting a hand from a guy who's helping her down from the bar]]: Okay, sexy, looks like it’s your lucky night. Let’s go and be lucky! / John [[watching as Miriam hugs the guy]]: Sherry, do think we should— / Sherry: She’s an adult, John, we have to let her make her own choices. / [[Sherry watches...
Out There - Friday, October 31, 2008 [[Miriam has headed to the door, her date has stopped to listen to Sherry]] Sherry [[to Miriam’s date, her hands on his shoulders]]: So, dig, Romeo. The drunk party doll you’re about to go play with is my *best* friend, and I care about her a *lot.* / Sherry: We tell each other *everything,* so if anything...
Out There - Saturday, November 1, 2008 Miriam: You don’t seem to be catchin’ my *drift,* cowboy. Do I have to make *all* the moves here? / Miriam’s date: Your bartender friend indicated I’d regret it we did anything. / Miriam: Well, she’s not here right now. Besides, you’re not afraid of a *girl,* are you? / Miriam’s date: She seemed pretty...
