Party Time in Germany?!
Wow. Long time no post. I suck. Ha, it's true...I need to get back on this thing.
Anyways, last night I had a lot of fun. Christiaan, Amanda, Bobby, Andy, and I went and bowled at this cool underground bowling alley we found. Awesome! Four times I was one pin away from a strike! But I ended up losing. :-( Oh well. After one game Christiaan and I took the bus to Stiftstrasse and then walked to Zwischenweg to the Brazilians' house. Inside we enjoyed these really good cheese filled pastries, booze, and good conversation. Afterwards, when some of them were quite tipsy, they walked me to my bus stop so I could go back home while they went on to Rites, a club. It was a lot of fun! Now I feel so much closer to the Brazilians, and I think we'll be friends from now on. We ate lunch with them today at the Mensa. Haha...funny story: We were sitting in the dining hall and I burped and I scared Priscilla, one of the Brazilians, sitting next to me. So she dropped the pear that she had on her fork and it fell into the bowl of pear juice and splashed Fernanda, sitting across from her. Hilarious chain reaction! We spent about 10 minutes laughing about that. Ha.
Tonight I want to eat something, have a couple drinks, and go dancing! I hope the Americans are up for it. Probably, since that's all they do. I also hope to go to Frankfurt this weekend with Amanda and maybe the guys. Let's see if we can arrange that.
Katie Swanson will be here in 2 weeks!!!!!!! But crap, we still need to figure out flights to Paris and hostels and all that fun stuff. Ugh. I hate doing it. On top of that Katie, my sister, and I have to plan our trips to Berlin and Dublin. So much planning and I get frustrated with trying to find hard to find info.
In the spirit of always spilling my guts about guys on here: Ugh. So maybe I'm just guy deprived...because I wanted to keep my feelings for him purely platonic...but I'm falling for Joe. Hard. He's so hard to read too and I usually have such bad luck with these things. I know for a fact that he considers me a good friend and really likes me and loves talking to me, etc. And I could go on and on and tell you all of the good things about him and how he's such an amazing guy, but I'll spare you, unless you really want to know. But anyways I don't know if his feelings for me have changed like mine have for him. It's also hard to tell because he's such a friendly guy to everyone and has a way of making everyone feel special. So it's difficult to figure out if he's treating me special or not. But whenever he writes on my wall or writes me an e-mail...I beam. He makes me smile. He makes me feel loved. He makes me feel special. He's so encouraging. And he's said some things that make me wonder about his intentions...for example (when am I not without concrete examples) ---ugh, I'm obsessive--:
Back in January:
"I didn't think I'd be saying this so soon, but here it comes: I miss you. :( (don't
worry, this statement is platonic/agape-love-filled too... but it's true all the same) "
"You know, you don't have to wait until before you leave to call me. You can call me
whenever you want. And actually, there have been times that I've almost called you, but
I figured that you'd be working or busy or something like that. and since I know that
you so love working at damon's (at least, judging from your last e-mail.. haha), I
wouldn't want you to lose your job. Seriously though. let the phone bombs fly. (don't
worry - i won't be funny and think it's anything more than platonic again.. haha). "
*Several e-mails and phone calls later in February*
"the point is that you're a good friend, and I wrote that simply as a precursor
to what I wrote you in the larger note (you know, the one in English that I know you kiss
every night and keep under your pillow). (i'm full of good ones today aren't i)"
"(except I still go to zeta 5, although not as much as last semester, with you there)"
"oh yes, and I heard that katie's going to visit you for spring break... that's cool. and
i'm jealous. but i hate jet-lag. so that's a plus for me, I guess, because i won't have
to go through that (i'm thinking positive here)." <---Doesn't that sound like he wanted to come visit me, too? Crazy!! All I did was ask him what he's doing for Spring Break and he said this.
Ha...so there I go with my crazy examples. He's also posted a lot on my facebook wall and this past week he asked me how my weekend was. Aww. And reminded me that I owe him an e-mail. He always does that. Ha. But yeah, I wrote him on Wednesday, so we'll see how he responds to what I wrote him. I, like he's been doing, have definitely turned on the funny-flirting writing style. I think I will call him this weekend too. We haven't talked on the phone for a couple weeks now. Plus he's told me I can call him anytime I want.
So yep, that's my status with Joe. We've stated several at the beginning that this is all purely platonic and he's on his girl-fast and I've told him I'm on a guy-fast. So...maybe we'll end each other's fasts? Haha. I don't know. All I can say is May can't come around soon enough. I'm already imagining seeing him again (and you guys, and my other Calvin friends, and my family). Oy. There's also a possibility of me being able to work with him this summer...ha, that'd be interesting. Don't think I will though. Who knows! Just go with the flow man. Until then, I'm just enjoying whatever it is we have now and will continue to build our friendship and will try to keep my crazy feelings for him out of it.
In other news: I'm doing so much better. The beginning of the week sucked, but now, now I'm enjoying myself and have snapped out of it. Get over homesickness and anxiety and just ENJOY! I'M IN EUROPE!!! I'm going to take full advantage of it too! This is so amazing. I am so lucky. I'm going to party it up tonight for sure.
Until later...
