"Perhaps, but speaking as someone who actually has been married, and went
to lots of effort to find just the right woman, I'm not entirely convinced
my research made all that much difference. Perhaps I don't approve of
my own taste..." -Remington (on newsgroup)
To continue my lovely tale...so, it's 8 a.m. and the alarm goes off...and naturally nobody wants to get up. Well, he doesn't have to get up...I don't get how (at least some) grad students don't have to take classes, or do very much work...when he's not outta town, he has no classes, doesn't seem to do much work, only GSA (grad student association- maybe this should go on terms page?) stuff (which is what he's doing tonight). He tries to convince me to stay, holding on to various body parts (i.e. "I've got your lip! Now you can't leave!"), I tell him that I have class 9-10 and 1-2, so I can come back...I leave him in my room (at least one of us got some sleep) while I go to class, return, and then we get up to some more happy mischief=) He tried to convince me to stay again (too bad all these classes are mandatory/roll-taking ones...), said he wouldn't feel right if he didn't try (to make me stay) anyway. Awwww. And he left the Monty Python tapes here...still intending to watch 'em. He said he'd see me again either Friday or maybe Thurs. night (he's got some GSA drinking bash going on, which from what I recall ends pretty early, but I figure he'll just be all soused that night anyway). I guess I'll be staying in town after all...?
Well, I don't think I'll be able to think of my midday breaks in quite the same way again now... oh yes, and I now have a hickey. He uh, likes to bite, so I'm just rather surprised that it took this long for me to wind up with one. It's a first for me. He wasn't trying to give me one- apologized for it, anyway. "Ooh, you're marked." My hair pretty much covers it, and well, nobody was staring at my neck anyway today. Actually, I'm kinda proud...silly, huh? He walked me to the bus stop, and as the bus was pulling away (he was going back to his bike) I saw him looking at it...too bad I was on the wrong side for him to see me =(. But oh well. It was cute. =)
Oh, and I forgot to mention this...may have been last night, I think...well, there's two parts.
1. About that marriage proposal...I told him I was telling this story to someone (I forgot who by now though) and how it would have been uh, scary if I'd accepted...he agreed (good thing I didn't say nuffin though), he said he doesn't wanna get married again for quite awhile, I said my parents would kill me if I didn't have a degree first. Odd, isn't it, he or I keep bringing marriage into conversations...okay, so he's actually DONE it, and I hang around Sarah, but still, this is dead odd. Why do we do this? It's not just me either.
2. He was asking about what would make me happy- well, how should I know the answer to that one? Beats me, is what I was thinking...however, I decided to be well, honest at the expense of trying not to scare him (I considered lying and saying something else, but well, what else is there? I'm not power-hungry or money-hungry or fame-hungry or baby-hungry), and said "true love." He didn't comment at that time. However (and I am rather vague on this) later on we were back on the marriage bit, and he said that I just had to find the right guy...then mentioned me introducing my parents to him. I'm not getting the words/tone right, but the two events sounded related, not just randomly bringing meeting the parents up or a hypothetical "right guy" either. Hmm? Huh? I don't think I get it...but well, was that insinuating what I uh, think? Odd.
In other news...Mike fixed up Sarah with Ryan from the party, he said Ryan liked her, they were e-mailing 3 times a day...but today he didn't e-mail her at all, wouldn't talk to her. Now she wants to kill Mike and is pissed...see, even the "nice, decent" guys can be jerks, Mikey boy...I suggested in e-mail that maybe it was the marriage bit that flipped him out...I told this to Remington and he said she should wait until after the divorce to date or else Hardeep could use that against her...good point. Also, she may finally be getting a new computer (yay for her)!
I had a meeting of seele today, we will be having many more meetings this quarter...things will be busy. Which reminded me of telling Remington that I needed to get off my ass and sign up for self-defense and hula again, and he was all "Don't you want to have any free time?" Hmmm, to spend with him?
That does sound like a good idea though...
