And all that's left are ashes...
Well, Katie and I talked and worked some things out, and though I still hate Jesse, Katie and I are cool for now. Jake, on the other hand, really pissed me off last night. And John's excessive calling is grating on my nerves. It seems there's always someone, huh?
So, last night I was all set for studying when Jake calls and begs me to go Christmas shopping. Despite my refusals and constant pointing out that it is only the very beginning of November and sales aren't yet occurring, I got wrangled into it. He spent money like he had it, way too excessive in my opinion, but what do I know? So, everything was going fine, and then John calls. I had told Jake that I didn't like John, but wasn't sure how to tell him, so of course he took it upon himself to yell "She doesn't like you!" into my phone from the background. I felt really bad, but I reconciled it when I got back to my dorm and IMed John. I kind of lied and said I had been on a date with a real jerk and that I was sorry. But I also made myself seen "unavailable" by saying I had another date with another guy on Friday night. Hopefully he gets it, but I'm thinking I won't be so lucky.
Anyway, on the car ride home I berated Jake on how wrong that was and how bad I felt now, when he's all like, "You never care if you hurt me." Confused, I asked him what the hell he meant, and he tells me he's had a huge crush on me since junior year of high school, pinpointing when he started to like me and why, way too much detail. It's Jake, so I only fell for this little joke for like two seconds, and he finally admitted he had been joking, but I'm not so sure he was kidding. He had way too much detail and seemed way too serious and quickly changed the subject to Allison, his ex-girlfriend. I hope he really was kidding, but something tells me there was more truth to what he said than he'll admit. I kept bringing up Brian, trying to make it clear that if those feelings were real, he would see that they were not encouraged. So, I had one helluva night, huh?
But it didn't end there. It got better. I went to Candis to ask about what to study for the psychology test, and we ended up talking for a really long time about Tristan, this guy she's been seeing off and on since eighth grade and who will be visiting for her birthday. He sounds so amazing. I was green with envy. Finally, I got to the studying thing and finished psych and English reading by 1:30am. I wasn't even tired, but that's probably due to the two cookies and cream freezers I got form Barnie's in the mall.
Now, classes for the day are over (including that oh-so-wonderful psych test), and I need to do some laundry. I had luch in Morrill Hall today, and it was actually good, so I have a full stomach and am running on six hours of sleep. So, I'll probably follow Ian's lead and take a nap, too. Later days...
