An old friend called me up last Friday, wanting to go to dinner and catch up.
"I thought you blew me off. I never quite understood why, but I accepted it."
"I knew it was reaching a point where I either had to call it quits or become serious, and I wasn't ready to make that decision."
She's different now. Stronger, better, happier. But I'm different in those ways too. We're both still the same, but....
We laughed, we talked, and it was a nice time. Part of me wants to get all excited and start dreaming. A larger part of me has learned better. I've come too far to think I can make a relationship happen. Maybe she'll call again, and maybe we'll start something up, and maybe she'll leave again. I accept what I have, when I have it, and am greatful for the moments I receive. Because that's all any of us have.
And that's why I didn't ask her if she was ready to make a decision about us now. We laughed, we talked, and it was a nice time. Why try to push for more?
Besides, she bought me a milkshake!

Busy....
Been busy. Meant to put up some pieces, but haven't had the time.
Watching: Casshern. A strange "live-action anime" from Japan. As eye candy, it's great. Excellent music score too. But the plot is kind of weird and I really hoped for more action sequences.
Reading: short stories by Anton Checkov. Bleak, dreary, good, and Russian.
Listening to: Chicks on Speed, "Turn of the Century"
The Election!
Four things:
1) Under our current system we only have 2 choices: the Democrat or the Republican. And lately it seems like neither party can come up with a decent candidate. I mean a psychotic imbecilic puppet-chimp versus a opportunistic stanceless zombie-puppet? I would have liked to have seen the Republicans put Powell or McCain up against the Democrats running of Dean or Edwards. Those were candidates that I'd have had a hard time deciding -for-, rather than a hard time deciding -against-. And a third party? I like the Libertarian ideas, but they're nuts. The rest aren't any better.
2) Gay marriage. Let's be honest, it isn't abou
Yay!
"Only" got a 99% on my Russian exam, had a pretty busy and fun weekend with a couple of parties, and bought a barely used full-scale weight bench off a co-worker for $70.
Window seals are leaking in water though. Again. After I thought I fixed them. Yuck.
Stuff...
Watching: "Dawn of the Dead (2004)" If you like zombie movies, there isn't any better. Most intense movie made in years. "Straw Dogs" An old Dustin Hoffman flick; I've only seen the last half, but it was impressive. Hopefully I'll watch the DVD this weekend.... "Drawn Together" Low-brow, stupid comedy about cartoon characters living together in a reality show. I -loved- it.
Reading: "Anna Karenina" still. It kinda' picks up after the first couple of hundred pages. "Van Richten's Guide to the Shadow Fey" Evil faeries in D&D. Enh. Not inspiring.
Listening to: "Circles" by Strong Bad of Homestarrunner www.homestarrunner.com fame
