One week later: The Aftermath...

Yeah, so it's been a week since I've gotten back from Galveston. School's been... school. Work? Well, I worked that night after getting back, which was fun (=not fun).

I was fountaing; Freddie was cooking. I was telling him the story of my trip, including backstory, and I had to be loud, because (A) our respective positions and (B) I'm a loud person, *especially* when I'm hyper. However, Katie was kind of listening to it to. It wasn't until after we closed, and we were sitting outside, that I realized that the timing could be seen as... odd? non-coincidental? Like I was, as Freddie put it, "Trying to rub it in her face" or something like that. Wait. Backstory: So I kind of had a crush on Katie. I mean, I knew it wouldn't work out, for any number of reasons, the main ones being (A) she's 17, I'm 20 (3 years and a day older than her), (B) she's a strong Christian and, well, I'm definitely not (atheist, in case you were wondering), and (C) she likes Beau, and, of course, (D) I'm me. I mean, she's such a sweet girl, sooo nice, very pretty, but... no. That's why I never said anything to her - no real reason to. I did, however, tell a few people - ie just about everyone. So she figured it out... Thursday night. The Thursday night right before I left. (Apparently, I flirted with her a few times... but of course, as we know, I don't flirt intentionally - I don't know when I'm doing it, when someone else is doing it with me, and, most importantly, can't do it intentionally). So yeah. Then I came back, with this crazy crazy story, which I'm all hyper and excited about. I mean, that was the LAST thing on my mind when that whole thing happened, and when I was telling the story. I really just wasn't thinking about it. But later, I kind of realized that it might look pretty bad. So while Freddie and I were outside, I decided to go up to her and apologize. I... well, I rambled pretty bad. I started out okay, but it quickly degenerated into a random babble, and I have no idea what all I said. But I think she understood what I was trying to say, because we seem to be doing okay now.

I've been really energetic and hyper since Saturday, so I've played DDR every day 'til today. I was doing some hard stuff too - well, relatively speaking, since I was playing at Diversions, which only has a 4th mix plus. Thursday, Ray was there, and I showed off some of my mad skills - did Rhthym & Police on Maniac/Doubles. I went to play Friday as well. There was this girl sitting there; I think she was waiting for a friend or something. But she really threw me off - I kept screwing up pretty bad. Also, I guess I was pretty tired from the previous week. So I went to play Police Academy, and Suzy called. It was awesome - the first time we talked since Saturday. So I grabbed my phone and left real quickly, jumped in the back of my truck, and we talked for... fifteen minutes or so. Pretty cool. I played a little more after that - rejuvanated and all. Then I went to play Police Academy some more; it accidentally tripped itself... 237 times or so. So I used that and recorded all the high scores, because I have no life (at the moment, at least ;). Went home, fell asleep eventually. Meeting this morning, work tonight.

So Suzy called a lil' bit ago; we talked. It was... cool. Talked about earlier experiences... which, as I understand, you're not supposed to, or something like that. But I have *no* clue what's going on here - just playing it by ear... so we'll see. Although I will say this - most of the similarities we may have are definitely going to be on a very basic level.
