Rance, Quentin, and Jealousy
It's really hard to admit this, but my fascination with Rance is diminishing. I'll try to explain this. At the beginning of the "relationship" (viewer vs. poster), it was thrilling to read Rance's raves and to hear about the accomplished actor/world-traveler. In addition to his wit, we shared many interests. So it was interesting to read his posts.

Like many one-sided relationships, you can only do so much before you get tired of it. This isn't to say I'm going to retire my blog. Heck no! I'm just saying that it is not possible to center it around Rance now that Rance is gone (or replaced by boring/insufficiently competent guest bloggists).

Now that Quentin Tarantino has a blog, I will admit, some of my enthusiasm about Rance shifted to QT. After all, Rance isn't gleaming in the limelight anymore. Someone new has come along. And I give him my attention now.

It's like hanging on to a relationship you know isn't going to last. When Rance posts, it's thrilling and there is that hope that maybe he will return to normal and love his audience again. But as the days go by and all that is revealed is unintelligible ramblings by Rocky or Rubber Duckie or even Ken, I have to admit I'm not interested. Their style is different. Even though Rance appreciates them, I sure do not. I appreciate Rance!

Speaking about relationships you know won't last, I DUMPED the Hollywood actor I was seeing. Yes, I did. I told him I was offended that he tried to get this girl's number right in front of me. He did say I, Rancette, was "wrong" to be jealous. Apparently he was trying to "connect her to the right people in the industry."

Yeah, if I were naive or if this were a one time occurence, maybe dumping him would have been an overreaction. But when he's chatting up every girl he sees every time we go on a date, this is not a very pleasant experience for me. So even though I'd like to be in a relationship right now, no relationship is better than a bad relationship.

It was hard to break up with him, because I do like him. But I will have to forget about love for the time being. Until I find someone that I don't need to get "jealous" about.

Notes from Rancette (sorry I don't have an administrative staff): I wrote this post the day before. It's a coincedence that Wakefield posted yesterday to write less about Rance. To tell the truth, I am becoming less interested in him, and it's sad. If Rance wants to string people around, people are going to get tired of it.
