(no subject)
I have mixed feelings about how this week went. On Monday I had a date with one of my friend's housemates. There was a lot of buildup to this involving circuses and shyness. It drags on a bit, so I'll skip lightly over it and and say that we went to see the Borat film (an obvious choice for a first date, I know) which was hilarious, moved on to a local pub which was cosy, chatted until closing time and walked back to her place (stopping to turn off her car alarm, which had inexplicably decided to turn itself on for fifteen minutes), where we found people laughing uproariously at Peep Show and texting messages that seem so funny when you're drunk, like "Would you fuck me for blow?" Anyway, I went back home soon after, with a kiss at the door, making me very pleased with myself.
The main hiccup on Monday came when my date told me that her housemate, one of two that live with her and I became great friends with the year before (The first was really enthusiastic about getting us together, the other suspiciously quiet, for the following reason) blurted out that he had feelings for her when he realised that she and I were going on a date. Apparrently it was that situation that showed him his true relationship with her. I think the word (gasp!) love was uttered.
Barring the inevitable awkwardness between the two for a few days, things have more or less gone back to normal with them. Necessarily, I suppose, what with them living in the same house and such. And he's been reacting to me pretty much as he always has, which may be because he doesn't know that I know about his little confession. I'm guessing it was brought on by the old "accidentally becoming friends with the woman you fancy" syndrome. Will see how that develops.
What? You say this post isn't full of enough stupid relationship stuff that is simply solved apart from the fact that people are people? Fine. On Wednesday the other friend, the one egging me on with his housemate, got dumped through text message by his girlfriend of three years. Apparently she's snowed under with university work and doesn't have time for him, something she's never has a problem with before. Recently she's been whining about him not having enough time for her. He thinks it's another man.
So yesterday I had to join the guys for an evening of misogyny, pool and alcohol, which I think will resume tonight. Women! Who needs 'em? Et cetera.
That and I've got two presentations to work on for next week. Plus the one for my dissertation is creeping closer. Busy busy!
