This u-u-update is outta control!
Ha, well, I've wanted to update for a while, but-really-I've had nothing really to update about, per se. I'm doing pretty good here, getting ready for school to start soon. Yep, doing pretty well!
But, anyway. I had a kinda surreal night, and I wanted to share. So, lately my roommate and I have been acting silly. I think it's partly because we have all this extra energy due to tons of sleep and no stress from no school. Anyway, I wake up at about 2:45AM in response to Deanna asking me: "Jessica, what are you doing?"
Now, I had warned Deanna of my odd nighttime behavior that I picked up sometime last year. I know that one of the residents at the assisted living home did this, so maybe I inadvertedly started copying her. In any case, there have been many times over the last year that I'll wake up with both arms in the air, at 90 degree angles from my body. And (I know this may sound phallic or sexually related, but I don't feel like it is) I'll usually be taking one hand, forming a circle between my fingers and running it down the other arm - then do the opposite to the other arm.
Apparantly, I was doing this last night, and she woken up a little earlier, couldn't sleep, and then saw my arms show. I was dreaming at the time (can't remember what about), so her question easily woke me up. Then it was roommate bonding time, because neither one of us could go to sleep, and then we decided we needed to eat something, so had a 3:30AM morning snack. Went back upstairs and watched a bit of Conan and an episode of Saved by the Bell (a really early one, there was this photographer character adult in it that isn't in any of the later ones). Ended up going to bed around 5AM. Fun stuff!
So, yeah. Nothing much to report. I had an excellent weekend when Michelle visited me. Went out to various restaurants, jogging occured at one point, shootin' the breeze, hanging with my roommates, movies, drinking (for free, at the bar my uncle bartends at! Although we had to deal with older semi-creepy guy trying to talk to us), etc etc etc.
Derek is avoiding me, because: I call him a week ago Tuesday, basically saying something like (in a voice mail): Hey Derek, I was wondering when you wanted me to bring over your book... is later tonight or tomorrow okay with you? Also, would you be interested in going to Jamba Juice or Starbucks later this week? If it wouldn't be too weird, that is..."
Because, really, I didn't see our situation as being a "no friends" deal. I often don't. Especially since we weren't dating long... He still hangs out with his ex, as well as this girl he hooked up with last year. BUT, I forgot about the male ego (well, the ego in general), and in those two cases, he broke it off with THEM.
So, he never calls me, so I call him on.. okay, two days ago, on Tuesday. Say something like "Hi Derek, haven't heard from you in a while... I'm not sure if you didn't get my message, or you're trying to avoid me, or you've been really busy... just... give me a call back when you get the chance." I leave that message, and then he calls back the next day, saying he wasn't trying to avoid me and sorry he didn't call. But, while he says he's going out of town 'til Saturday, he doesn't make an effort to say when I should stop by, nor if he's interested in hanging out at all. So, I figure forGET it, I will drop his book off sometime next week, be polite and smile, but just drop the whole hanging out thing.
I owe people emails, which hopefully won't be the case by the end of the weekend.
