So it's currently near 2 in the morning. I have a class at 8. And I am still awake. Enough to write down my thoughts. Let's do this.
All the emotions I felt today...
bored: Started a new mini semester today, and my first class was... wow. The dude talked for the entire hour and a half. I thought I was the only one suffering until I heard the sighs coming from almost everyone else. It would have been funny if he wasn't so old.
proud: After class, I went on and spoke with my journalism adviser to talk about what classes to take, how many hours I still had left, etc. Anyway, we got to talking about my electives and I told her I thought I had about one or two classes left in my psychology minor. She told me I may need to check again. After talking to a psych adviser, turns out I have completed my minor for psychology. Officially, and I didn't even know. But I was pretty pumped.
crunk: As I have stated, there is a new roommate in the house. Well, I came home from class and I heard him blaring his music. You would think this is a bad thing, but with myself and the roommate big music guys, it actually made me happy. But what made me really happy was that he was playing "Everything Must Go" by Taking Back Sunday. I banged on his door till he opened it and we rocked out, haha. Good times.
blah: Last week, I tried texting my ex to see how she was doing. I would call, but she has a new boyfriend and I don't know, if she were to be with him, it would just feel weird. But after getting no response, she hit me up today. We chatted about Stephen Colbert's new haircut for a while, before it turned to the "how are you's" and then finally her boyfriend came up. A BIG part of me was about to pull the "I can't talk about this" card, but I sucked it up and at least answered the text. I feel I am getting better in that department and I will continue to be ok, until I see the first pic of them together or Heaven forbid, actually physically see them together. I think I might lose it, but then I will pull it together. I hope. August is going to be an interesting month, let's just say that.
concerned (with myself): speaking of the girl front, I feel my mind is making a mistake. It's starting to like someone I really shouldn't start liking. It's like when I watched Nick and Norah, I said to my friend, "I think I could fall for someone based on their playlist." Well, that's happening. And just so i'm not a complete weirdo, she is extremely cute. "Adorable" is the word my friend who I would not have known the girl in question about (for blog purposes, we will call her Norah, haha) without has described her. But there are SO many complications with this. Let's start with the major one: she has a boyfriend. Now, let's just keep going. She is starting her second year of college in the fall while I am starting my fifth and regardless of what anyone says, that just seems weird to me, she is VERY religous and while I don't have a problem with that I fear it may clash one day, and did I mention she has a boyfriend? Oh, and the fact that she has no idea I even think she is attractive. That damn self esteem thing is kicking in because she is also really skinny and i'm... not. And just in case I haven't said it, the whole boyfriend thing is a problem. Except that I hear he is a douche and she said in the car today that she was thinking of breaking up with him (not to me, just sort of out loud). But she has an AWESOME taste in music -- lil triva, she was actually at the Taking Back Sunday that I still have not posted about. I doubt anything is going to come of this, but I will still put her in the tags, just in case, haha.
Oh self, what do you do to yourself?
Random lyric of the day:
Where are you now?
As I'm swimming through the stereo
I'm writing you a symphony of sound
Where are you now?
As I rearrange the songs again
This mix could burn a hole in anyone
But it was you I was thinking of
What were you still doing awake at 2:00am, my friend? Oh, right, glass cage of emotion! (I think that's one of my favourite lines from a movie ever). Warning, another long comment - just tell me if you want me to shut the fuck up or put it in an email or whatever...
ReplyDeletebored: I think your teacher and the teacher I had this afternoon are really twins separated at birth. Not kidding. Take a book/iPod/pillow next time and make that hour-and-a-half worth your while...
proud: hooray for (accidentally) finishing your psych minor! Well done you smart thing, you. I kinda wish it happened that way with whole degrees sometimes.
crunk: there we go with that language barrier again... But I'm assuming it means 'just had an awesome time with new roommate who happens to listen to awesome music. And it was awesome.'
blah: any progress with exes is good progress. Especially the kind where you're actually able to have a conversation and not feel like crying/breaking something/running away. Hang in there - it'll get easier.
concerned: such a tough one. The boyfriend thing does make it a bit more complicated, so here's hoping it works out for the best. As for the age thing, it probably doesn't matter... so long as you're both on the same level intellectually and emotionally. Can't really offer any thoughts on religion, but I'm sure that you know yourself well enough by now to realise when your own beliefs aren't going to be compatible with another's, romantically speaking. And as for the self-esteem bit? I'm willing to bet that you've got nothing to worry about. You're a pretty remarkable person, in case you didn't know that.
So we both posted Jack's Mannequin tonight. Win. My friend used to call me Norah and for a while after he passed away I couldn't watch the movie. I do however think it's alright to fall for someone for their playlist, but, the boyfriend thing probably isn't good.
ReplyDeleteFYI - She probably knows you are slightly into her. Girls just know these things. No offense but boys suck at trying to cover things up.
ReplyDeleteThat whole boyfriend thing can be a problem ;) It sounds like you're good at bouncing back though? There are plenty of lady fish in the sea.
ReplyDeletei need more info. you know what. just text me.
ReplyDeleteto everybody:
ReplyDeleteI think i was a little rushed on the last emotion. Should have thought that one through a little more, but you know what tired nights will do, right?
@the girl:
you will never, ever hear me say those words to you. As said before, you can write a whole story in a comment if you'd like, though e-mails are great too. Whichever you like. Thanks for the shoutout about psych though, I kept fishing for big compliments yesterday, haha. And thanks for all your other comments, except 'crunk' isn't really an American thing, more like a music language thing, haha
@jeanette:
I have to confess. I was in JM mood after reading your blog. Still need to leave a comment there, I think I may go do that...
@Natalie:
Yes, we do suck at these things. It kinda makes me nervous if she knows, because we have only hung out a few times, but hopefully I can take what you said and try to prove you wrong, haha, so as to not add any more confusion
@RMJ:
I'm good at bouncing back in an optimist way, but i've never been too good at fishing, haha
@J:
you should have just texted me that comment. I actually expected you to be on it already...
I completely agree with you, I could fall for someone solely based on their playlist.
ReplyDeleteAs for the long winded professor, we all have them. Just try not to let your mind wander...you might miss something.
=)
