Create a great intimate relationship (read all 25 entries…)
Goal entries, or just personal gossip-column? :P 1 month ago

Heh…at least I have something along the lines of a diary to look back on. I really hate that word “diary” though—sounds too much like something else, I’m sure. I prefer “journal,” although it doesn’t have quite the same connotations.

Anyhow…after a couple of dates, W left town for two weeks to visit family, and during that time I attended a basketball game with a friend and met two other women, E and A. I went out with each of them during the following week, and had a great time both times, though they were pretty different from each other, both physically and personality-wise. To make a long story short, A and I had a great time, but she was too newly out of a long-term relationship, and I ended up seeing E somewhat seriously for a total of maybe six weeks. E got a bit too pushy/needy with regard to spending time together, when I had school and work and needed alone time too, so I had to end that. A, meantime, had sent me a text saying she’d really liked me, but that scared her because she was so newly single, and we ended up dancing last Saturday, and ending the evening with a brief but very nice kiss. We’d made dinner plans this evening, but she had accidentally double-booked, and will be meeting me later at a club, where a group of us will be having a send-off for a friend. Hopefully we’ll get a little more make-out time in, this time. Hehee. :) I’m perfectly content for things to move very slowly, though.

At the same time, within the last few weeks, C (the cyclist) has been initiating online chat conversations with me rather often. I still have some feelings for her, and must admit I’d be hard-pressed to resist were she to suggest a date. But…that isn’t very likely, as she’s not really the direct sort, and I’m not going to do it for her.

For now, I’m very happy focusing on school, work, and friends. A date now and then is very nice too, though. :)

Well, school started about six weeks ago now, and I must say, I am kicking ass and taking names. My lowest test score so far has been a 97%, and I’ve gotten several 100%’s and even one 110%, due to bonus questions!! My anthropology and psychology classes are fascinating, my art history class is extremely thought-provoking and eye-opening, and the English composition class is teaching me how to write more formally. Sigh…so great. I can’t believe I’m actually making this happen!

Woohoo! 3 months ago

On Monday, I drove to my soon-to-be-triathlete friend’s house, and did a 20-minute run with her (ok, I stopped running and walked fast for a minute or two several times). I did better than I expected, though! Then we got on her and her girlfriend’s bikes, and rode for about the same amount of time. Oh man…I hadn’t realized how much I missed riding a bike!! I have one myself, but it’s badly in need of some maintenance. The chain is all rusted, and it may need new tubes for the tires. I’m off to work on that right now!
