8 Days
Well I've been putting it off and putting it off, and now it's finally time to update.
8 days ago:
- I went out with Colin to Trident and then later to Mountain Sun which were both very fun and it was good to catch up with him. We even played some card games at Mountain Sun.
5 days ago:
- JivaTrain's concert at The Fox. Beforehand I met up with
soakingup at Half Fast Subs and dranks Long Islands and ate subs. It was so good to see Brandee and I am so glad we got the chance before I moved away. It would have been so regretable if I hadn't.
- The concert went well and Clasina came along even though she was pestering me to talk to Derek the whole time and text him and stuff,. You know how some people need that push to do things they otherwise wouldn't do? Sometimes that works, but if it's something you already would do the best thing I have found for me, is to let me do it at my own time. Not pressure me, and she clearly didn't get that.
- Anyway, I talked to him for a little bit when HE came over which was what I wanted, and not for ME to have to go over to him. But I think that he was a little drunk and besides, there were all these people coming over to him every couple of seconds talking to the big star, and so we never fully got a word in.
- When Clasina left she asked Derek if he would "take care of me and look after me" and I think it really freaked him out. He was like, "Uhh, I guess so." To which she said, "Well, I can't leave my friend with an 'I guess so'" and so finally he cheered up and was said that we should go talk to Kevin, which was fine with me because then it would't be awkward.
- But then the weirdest thing. I went and talked to Kevin and then Derek walked away and talked to other people. He made eye contact with me and smiled at me, but he still wasn't really talking to me.
- Later still, I went over and talked to Mike, his roommate. He said the following three note-worthy comments to me: 1. It's so good to see you, and 2. It's so weird that you are here to night, and 3. (When he asked if I had talked to Derek and I said not really) Yeah, he's illusive like that. ... When I asked why it was interesting that I was there he paused and said this aloud: "Well maybe interesting isn't the right word...(thinking)...nope, it's definately interesting that you are here."
I have no clue what to make of that!
- Finally Mike said "I'm going to go out there and talk to my friends." I saw Derek smiling and laughing outside with friends. Okay, I said. He left me there, so I went back into the show and watched the last act. They were good, but really really strange guys. Jambo Special, I think was their names. When I finally came out of the cave, everyone who was hanging around outside were gone. I slowly walked back to my car with as much dignity as I could muster.
4 days ago:
- Dave actually called me on Wednesday while I was at Half Fast Subs and of course I could not pick up. How ironic that he called me THEN of all times! Well, on Thursday I texted him back a somewhat bitchy message. He had asked if I wanted to hang out at all, and to give him a call if I wished. So I wrote back that I did not wish becuase of the fact that he texted Clasina for beers and how that was really low. He replied "I beg your pardon? I have no fucking clue what you are talking about." And so we texted back and forth for quite some time trying to sort this whole thing through. I called Clasina and tried to get more details and she bitched me out saying that she was at work and couldn't deal with it and that she didnt want to get involved in the drama. For fucks sake, I didnt want to include her in the drama, I just want the truth because her story kept on changing and Dave W. said he didnt even have her phone number in his cell phone and he didnt text her. I still dont know what the real story is.
- I texted him again at around 11pm when I knew he would be off work and asked if he wanted to pick up his watch. He said, Yes, I'm just heading out right now. I thought he was going to come over within 10 mins but then he didn't text me again until 2pm. The text sound woke me up and I told him he could come over. When he came over he said that he didnt think that I would answer. But I did. And then we talked about the whole Clasina thing for awhile. He looked up all his texts from June 25th on (Which was the first day that I went to Portland, and apparantly I was not in town when this all happened) and he showed me that he doesnt have her cell phone number. After a half hour of talking, he went home.
- I cried my eyes out for a long time. And went online and vented to Colin (
milhouse4life) about it, and then he went to sleep and I stayed up. Somehow during my convo with DaveW. LiveJournal came up. "Well of course you are in it," I replied, "It's like my diary." So he responded "Well, if you ever want to send me the part that I am in, then here is my email address," and wrote it down on a stickynote. Being that it was now 3am and now un-tired, I went looking for a nice passage to send him. I found a really nice entry written somewhere around Jan 27th which was a nice story and very well-written. I sent it.
3 days ago:
- Went up to Ft Collins to vist Jen, Tamii and Joe (
shmoe4ever) and hung out. We went tubbing on the Poitier River which was fun. It took us over 2 hours to get down it, not to mention lots of scrapes and bruises. Then we had dinner at Rasta Pasta which was delicious. Then I hung around a bit more but went home because there was still a lot to prepare for the garage sale.
2 days ago:
- Garage sale. I got up at 7am and collected more things around the house, made signs and then put them up all around the neighborhood. I put some ads in Craigslist. Then it began. The first sharks arrived at 8:35am and it came in steadily until 10am and then in waves after that until 3pm when we closed up shop. It was a moderate success but we did get rid of stuff and made money on things we got for free, so that's good.
- In the evening I sent Dave W. a text that said: "I've sent you the email." Still no word back from him.
1 day ago:
- Semester at Sea folk Jen, Joe and Tami came down to Boulder and I drove them up Baseline Rd. to show them the view. Then we went and hung around Pearl Street. We saw the "Guy who fits in a box" and little shops. We ate at Old Chicago's for Linner and then later had Glacier ice cream. I got "Cake Batter" which was uncanny to a real kids cake! Much better resemblance than Cold Stone's version. Then I drove Tami to the airport and Jen and Joe went back up to Ft. Collins.
- I called Derek and told him that even though I went to his show, he still owes me a cup of coffee or a glass of beer. Still no word yet back on him.
- After Entourage, I called Colin and went over to his house. We hung around a bit listening to albums and then over to The Laughing Goat for some coffee/tea. The music was already over and there was no one left in the coffee shop. They closed early at 10:30 so we walked up to the Courthouse and chilled on the lawn and talked. And then went home.
Today:
- Slept in until 11am. Ate breakfast. Updated LJ.
- Today I have to: Pack, pack, pack.
- Maybe go to the Butterfly Pavillion by myself.
- Maybe call Dave W. and see if he still wants to go out to dinner which HE suggested we do on Monday or Tuesday which are his days off from work. I really want to go to Ras Casas and this would be the perfect opportunity. But as Colin said, "The ball is in his court now," and "guys are assholes."
