My computer class ended on Monday. Both yay and boo. Yay because it was very tedious, since I already knew most of the stuff we were "learning," and it was a pain to be at school all day twice a week. But boo because it was the only class in which I had actually met some people I was friendly with. (I don't label people as friends easily. If I did, I might have more friends.) On the other hand, cute boy in algebra class (Josh, I think) has been sitting next to me the last couple classes. On the other hand, he seems to be younger than I (like, teenaged, maybe, can't really tell) and might be sitting next to me for one of two reasons: he thinks I'm smart and can help him in class (I am, and I have, a little), or he just wants to sit closer to the front of the class, while not actually sitting in the front.
Wow. That was very high school, wasn't it? Wait, there's more.
The first week of school, I met a boy named Carlos. He asked if I wanted to get something to eat with him in between classes, and since he was kind of cute, I said sure. And I gave him my phone number. So we talked on the phone a couple times, met up between classes a couple more times. He's really nice and thoughtful.....but it just comes off so.... I dunno.... false. And the way he looks at me creeps me out. And to top it all off, I had a dream about him last night in which he was standing outside my living room window, peeking in. It was really creepy. Anyway, he called last week and I still haven't gotten back to him. And I feel bad about that because he hasn't done anything really wrong, it's just a feeling I have. I have decided I'm definitely not attracted to him, so I should probably tell him that anyway. But what if I'm just freaking out from not ever having had this kind of attention before? (apologies for the grammar there)
See, he's an international business major. Which kind of.... yeah. He just got a job for a big firm, or so he says. I gather he's nearing graduation. He used to intern for them, and now they've hired him. And this is probably the main reason I haven't told him to get lost. I suck.
(Actually, he probably wishes I sucked. Ew. Moving on......)
I might be out of a job soon. More and more of my duties are being switched over to Lindy, the receptionist. I don't think the doctor realizes it yet, but soon I will have absolutely nothing to do, and when he realizes that.....well, he likes me, but I don't think he wants to *give* me money. I've been trying to find things to do, but there's only so much filing to be done in that office.
Why does nobody know how to chew properly? They all slurp their food, pop their gum, smack their lips..... It's disgusting, and of course my co-workers are the worst culprits I know, and they all have to do it right in my ear. Grr. I always try to avoid sitting next to the doctor when he treats the staff to lunch for just that reason, but there's not much I can do when lunch is conducted in the staff meeting and the room in which we have the meeting is very small, and he waits until we've all finished our food to have his, so I can't even hide behind the sound of my own chewing. Argh.
My writing has apparently gone down the toilet. The two characters I need to interact in the chapter I'm writing refuse to have anything to do with each other, apparently, and nothing's working. They just sit there and stare at each other. I may have to start the whole chapter over and insert another character, just to get these two to talk. In fact, I think I will try that tomorrow, when I'm less tired. I can't write at all when I'm sleepy. I mean, I can, but it all turns out incredibly sappy. Characters break down in tears for no reason, conversations stop making sense, it's horrible. So I don't write when I'm tired anymore. Which is probably why I hardly ever write anymore, 'cause I'm always tired.
I am now in the middle of an infatuation with Christian Bale. Partly due to Batman Begins, of course, but really, I've liked him for awhile. The obsession will fade quickly enough, but for now I'm trying to get my hands on all of his movies I can (within reason; still have no desire to see Reign Of Fire, for example). Watched American Psycho again last night, and laughed my head off. Watched most of it again today (my sisters had a friend over, and they wanted her to see it, and of course I wasn't about to refuse to join them). Actually, my brother bought American Psycho as a sort of research project before seeing Batman Begins. He also bought Leon: The Professional, which is also very good, but not really funny at all, and does not feature Christian Bale. :)
But I still have five or six of CB's movies in my Netflix queue. I love Netflix. I just wish the mail didn't take so long. I think I will have to mix up my queue a bit, though. I mean, I have a long TV show clump, then a Johnny Depp clump, then a Christian Bale clump..... I don't want to get sick of *everything* I like, do I? I mean, that's why I mixed up Family Guy and MI-5. Which, by the way, is still excellent.
My sisters have decided that Danny from MI-5 is very hot. What's that actor's name? Ah, David Oyelowo. Yeah, I can pronounce that..... sure.... And now that I have learned that he is not actually the same guy who was in Sweet Home Alabama, I feel safe to say that I agree with my sisters. He is very cute. And he has marvelous reaction shots. Cracks me up! Oooh, and he's going to be in a Branagh-directed film of As You Like It! With Brian Blessed! And Kevin Kline! I may have to see that. I love that play.
Wow. This ended up being almost all about guys, in one way or another, didn't it? I really am that shallow. *g*
