Been a while
Well it has again been a while. A lot has happened. Let me read my last entry to see where I need to start.
...
Ah, Best Buy. Cool. I still work there. I had a rough start like everyone, but that's ok, cause I think I have a good chance at being kept on the team past the holiday season, and if not, I now have cashier experience, so that's cool. Work's good. Car just got a new muffler. Around $360, but that's ok, so car's good. Got SAT results recently. 660 on math, 690 on verbal. Better than both scores last year. ACT scores should arrive soon. If I get a 32 composite that means a full-tuition scholarship to OU. Speaking of OU...if all goes as I hope it does, going to OU will suck a little more than I thought. Why? Because I now have someone very important to me back here in Central Ohio. This would be Avery, Amberleigh's little sister. Before you get these perverted thoughts in your mind...she's not much of a LITTLE sister. She has surpassed Amberleigh, who is about two years older than her. She's a sophmore. Last year my stepmom kinda got me in a jam with a girl, Molly, who is in Avery's grade. I ended that before it really became anything (I didn't think it was anything yet, unlike Molly. We hadn't even gone on a date. Only time I saw her out of school was when I was dragged to a girl-scout function. Lame) Anyway, Molly was arrogant and snobby, which is mainly why I called that off, though I insisted that I was just immature and that the age difference was bothering me even though it wasn't much. So now the age isn't bothering me at all, and that's a really good sign in my eyes, becuase if I really do have a problem with an age difference large than a year, then I must like Avery enough that it doesn't even bother me like it did with Molly (was so bad that I felt ill when I thought about seeing her again before I broke it off) So yeah. I'm not sure if Avery and I are officially going out yet, because she said she wanted to back off just a bit, so I told her that the ball would be in her court concerning when we'd do something together again. We first kissed on December 23rd. That night we had went to see Bad Santa, which was funny. After that we just laid together on the couch from around 10:00pm to 1:30am. She stroked my hair, which she seems to adore. (I kinda didn't notice the time) We basically just held each other and then as I left we kissed. It was best for me to go home so we didn't sleep there the whole night. I talked to her later and learned that she broke up with Andy on Xmas eve, which pleased me, not only because I knew she liked me (thank you Whitney and My stepmom) but I also liked it because Andy doesn't deserve her. He's a stoner burnout who doesn't just do pot when it comes to drugs. He's also destined to become an alcoholic, if he isn't already. He has wrecked two cars after driving for less than two years. He wants to study theater at OU, when he really isn't too good of an actor. Sometimes he can write something really good, but...so can a lot of people. He's also one of the most compulsive liars I know. He treats his parents like shit, he manipulates people like no ones business, and he uses people. Along with all that, I could be wrong, but I don't think he loves Avery very much at all. He seems to view her as a sort of safety girlfriend. When he and Whitney broke up...it was their third or fourth or fifth break-up...he scoops her up. (He can be quite charming and is good with words) Soon after, he goes to Prom with Amy Croce, and he kisses her and asks her something to the effect of "what would you say if I asked you out?" Amy refused, and all hell breaks loose. Avery's sister is pissed, Avery is crushed, and a lot of people aren't happy with Andy. He gets off easy, because Avery, being one of the sweetest people I ever have and ever will know, forgives him. I'm kinda fuzzy about the details during the summer, though I hear Avery had developed a crush on me, just as I had on her. We sat with each other when I'd go over to their house during the summer. She and I sat on my car for a while one night just talking. I wondered if she was just being a friend like all the other girls I've liked. I know now that she was at least slightly interested, but I can never tell if a girl likes me as a friend or more. Most of the time I'm just too good of a friend to consider dating...which I'm sure I'll understand someday. Anyway, recently Avery, Andy, Nora and I get tickets to go see Return of the King at midnight. I work on opening night, no big deal, I'm off at 9, though we were busy so I stayed until about 9:30. During my time there, Andy and Nora show up, (I also learned today that Andy was kinda hitting on Nora when he went to pick her up a long time before the movie is supposed to start. I'm guessing around 4 or 5 pm. He also seemed to look to Nora for comfort when Avery broke up with him. She refused because she has a boyfriend. He seems to latch onto someone, anyone who's available whenever he gots dumped. Anyway...) and Avery is nowhere in sight. I learn as I get off work that Avery thought I meant Andy Shrigley was coming. He's a good man, but hasn't come to appreciate Peter Jackson's movies like Nora, Andy, Avery and I have. So Andy (West) calls Avery and learns that she thought she was going with friends and not her boyfriend. I can understand why she'd want to, because sometimes you just want to hang with friends. He gets mad, just as his possesive self is expected to, and now Avery has no ride to the movie. Andy left to get Avery, but he has been deemed no longer fit to step foot inside the Lennon household. I learn all this from Amberleigh who has called my cell as I'm changing out of my work clothes. So I go out to drive off and rescue Avery. Nora is waiting outside for me, so we ride off together. Andy is nowhere to be seen at their house, which is good. Avery, Nora and I go to the movei, have a great time. Over the next week I'm not quite sure what went on, but I know that I had a raging desire to see Avery, so we went to see Bad Santa and the rest of that night was already explained. The next time we see each other is on the Saturday after Christmas. I pick her up after brunch with Dave and Julie, around 11am or 12pm. From there we do an xmas return for me, look around at an art store, then we come back to my house. We watch the extended Two Towers. We laid together on my bed. I fall asleep and awake to learn that dinner is ready. She eats dinner with my dad and stepmom and me. After that we finish two towers and watch some of the special bits. We leave at 11pm to get her home (that's about 10-11 hours together so far). After that we hold each other on the couch at her house again until Amberleigh scoots me out (we were both on the verge of sleeping there for the whole night, which wouldn't have gone over well with her parents.
This New Year was by far the best ever. Avery came over along with some other fun people. Her parents didn't want anyone driving that night, so Avery got to spend the night along with most everyone else. I can't describe what it was like. It was a little wierd at first, merely because I've never done something like this before. Very quickly we became very comfortable. We didn't even do anything, we just slept, and it was the best thing ever, feeling her so close to me. It was very magical to just sleep with her in my arms for the entire night.
I'm not sure if we're an official couple yet, only because she said she wants some time to herself between Andy and me. I hope and believe that this relationship could go far. I really like Avery a lot. Going to OU will suck because I wont see her for weeks at a time, but it's better than California.
Right now I just want to see her as much as possible, but I don't want her to think I'm getting too attached, but then I don't want her to think I don't really liker her, cause I really do like her a lot. Oh well....they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Other news of note:
I turned 18 on December 19th.
Andy West hates my guts now, which is expected, but I don't really care. My opinion of him had dropped very close to low enough that I wouldn't have even considered him a friend. He also doesn't deserve Avery. She's far too good for him.
I really hope this relationship between Avery and me lasts. I've liked people before, most of all Allison and Becky, but Avery is already above them. In my earlier teen years I had very high expectations for my first real relationship. Those expectations have already been topped.
