murder she wrote
i didn't go to the film lecture last night because as soon as i stepped out of the building at work, it started to pour..again. the weather in paris has been absolutely depressing..and frustrating! the other day i soaked my boots, and yesterday i was slipping and sliding on the fallen leaves. "those things have been known to kill!!"--i'm reminded of this quote from A Christmas Story about the icicles.
despite the weather i still managed to go running last night. i was actually just motivated by the fact that this would give me an opportunity to wear the new windbreaker-ish zippered thing my mom got me. yeah. it was pretty chilly out though. the good news, again, is that my knee didn't really hurt. i guess i have to give myself a day in between to recup and to do the proper stretches. although at some points i felt like if i bent my knee the wrong way it would click out of place or something. er.
romeo called me last night. i don't know why he calls with a blocked number but i saw that someone had tried to call like 4 times. i'm guessing it was him. we ended up talking for about 45 minutes (about 30 minutes longer than i wanted). but it was ok. he mentioned the fact that he missed me and that it was really "dommage" that i didn't want a relationship (mostly i just don't want him..to put it bluntly). i didn't really know what to say to this cause it's so awkward and he is a really nice guy. but just not for me. he also hinted at the fact that maybe we could have kindof a loose relationship type thing to which i said i'm either an "all or nothing" type person. a lie. sortof.
this morning i got another call from none other than..juliani. when the phone rings at 8am it couldn't be anyone else..unless something terrible had happened. he knew i was getting ready for work. we talked for about 45 minutes (30 minutes less than i wanted !) about..stuff. i was able to casually ask about amandine, who apparently is still sick. what else is new. i was hoping for some good news, but..i guess no. or not yet at least. he didn't sound amused, but then again he never mentioned her out of respect for my feelings. i'm glad that we're keeping in touch. he called me about 3 or 4 weeks ago, in fact the same day that i found out about olivier's girlfriend. lovely coincidence. we revelled a bit about our short but meaninful time together and how we were both marked by it. oddly enough when talking about my relationship status i explained how i wasn't so sure i wanted a serious relationship right now and his response was exactly was i was thinking. he said that with the right person it just comes naturally and you wouldn't even think twice about it. this is so true! and i have said that numerous times in the past few months. i'm not surprised, he and i were always on the same wavelength right from the start. i was almost late for work today since i had about 5 minutes to get ready after i finally got off the phone and plus the fact that i screwed up my liquid eyeliner twice!
since i only had 5 minutes i didn't get a chance to eat breakfast. instead i went downstairs to the juice bar thing we have and got a freshly squeezed orange juice with a shot of spiruline, which is my new best friend. it's the green algae that is loaded with protein and nutrients. i'm going to start living off of this stuff. for real
