(no subject)
this summer has been so goddamned uneventful. theres not a whole lot to write about.
those two sentences took me 15 minutes to write. but, the good news is that rachael flew in from chicago on saturday night for one night only, and i thankfully got to see her. the circumstances for her visit, however, were unfortunate and completely unsuprising. it was great to see her again.
i guess the biggest thing thats weighing on my mind right now is the emily situation. it has its ups and seemingly downs. we get along famously at work, we have a very flirtacious relationship there. just as soon as i think shes completely uninterested, she goes and says or does something that gets my hopes up all over again.
a few weeks ago, i went over to co-worker justin's house with several other co-workers, including emily. now, justin is a new hire, but hes already been putting the moves on emily. i'm not resentful of him or anything, and i certainly don't but into their conversations (as he sometimes does to ours). but that night, justin got drunk and as i could hear snippets of his conversations with emily, i could tell he isn't particularly bright. at various points in the night when he was off doing other shit, i would talk to emily, and we had some incredible conversations. i thought i was gonna be sullen all evening cause some dumb jerk was macking on my crush, but it actually turned out hugely in my favor. i hope she saw that i was the smart one, the more interesting person. last week, i saw "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" with mollie and my parents at the Wexner Center, which i loved. when i told emily, knowing she likes all things french, she got really excited and told me it was her favorite movie in the world. i think i'm scoring points with her, but i doubt it'll ever get to the point where we can hang out by ourselves.
it kinda bothers me that i have a crush now. i never get crushes, i hardly ever get hung up on a girl. the fact that i like her so much makes me really suspicious of her, though. i was talking to rachael about that chick alex g. that gave me her phone number a long time ago. rachael's account of the party where i met alex differed greatly from what i remember. apparently, 3 or so different guys came up to rachael asking about alex g., not just me. i later heard about her reputation, so its only funny to learn that she worked the goddamned field of men at that party! now i feel totally duped and played, but its my own fault. i think i'm particularly susceptible to women with strong personalities because i'm the one who is usually attracted, not the other way around. while i don't know of any specific instances, i'm told (and she readily admits) that emily has a reputation as well. she is, in her own words, "very liberal with her love." i suppose i'm cool with that.
i got this weird theory the other day about emily. she doesn't shave her armpits (and that does not particuarly bother me because i'm used to hippie chicks), so i'm wondering if my crush is due to an excessive amount of her pheromones in the air. what do you think?
