So Derek got a little mad at me today. In creative writing, we were sharing our stories in front of the class (I didn't get a chance to go), but he read his and then said how he wants to end it. He was saying that he wants to end it with something along the line sof it all being a dream. And I was like, whoa buddy. Don't do that. It's way overdone. It makes people hate the story. But, alas, he just got upset. And that's okay. I was a little harsh. I was telling him that's it's The Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge and I guess that I could have said something like, ... Well, I don't think there's a nice way to tell someone that their story idea is overdone. He made a valid point. We're two totlaly opposite writers. He lives for fantasy and impossibility and I am all about realistic events and true-to-life people. I think writing fantasy and reading fantasy is like exploring space before exploring our seas. Why not just stick with what's here before going and deciding that there's nothing left here.
Tomorrow is me and Derek's "I Love You Day". I bought him a $35 gift card to Barnes and Nobles... I told him that I didn't have any money left because I bought him his present and he's like, "Are you serious? Because I only have $10 and... blahblahblah." So I'm like, "Fine, I'm keeping your present." And I will if he doesn't do/get something really nice for me. I can't put up with this apathetic, unromantic bullshit forever. I love him. I love him, I do. And I'd do anything for him. But I need to feel that he'd do anything for me too, or else or relationship is going to fizzle out and die.
Anyway, I'm done here. I'm going to go up to Fallston and talk to some ladies about becoming a tutor.
