Holodeck


"A woman is like a great novel. You don't want to be thumbed by an illiterate." -E. Jean Carroll
I spent last night waiting for Remington to call me. Not on the Internet, working on my homework, waiting...and waiting...and waiting...doing the power-of-positive-thinking thing...and he didn't call. I finally got fed up and got on the Internet at 11:45, when I discovered that he'd e-mailed me at 10:15. Sheesh. And when I called him he'd just gone to bed too, and was whining about how tired he was. I see a pattern emerging somehow... however, this time (after asking if the buses were running...yeah, right) he got out of bed to pick me up.

Well, I don't think he did see the other girlfriend this weekend...was at some birthday party thing and was up all night, I guess. However, despite the bitching about being tired, he wanted to stay up and watch Deep Space Nine with me. Which is kinda where today's title comes from...I was asking how the Holodeck works and then said that I wanted one, he said he wanted one too, then- "If I had one, I'd program it to look like you." Awwww...Basically, we did not get a lot of sleep...and somehow sleeping in the same bed was getting awkward, 'cause he'd start snoring, and that drives me nuts. Normally he doesn't do it while sleeping, but I have to get his attention that he's DOING it...and that happened about four or five times or so. I seriously doubt I got much sleep, especially since he set the alarm for early so he could hit the snooze alarm...and I hate snooze alarms. Was kinda worth it to hear him say "Morning, beautiful" though =) Then he started tickling me to wake me up (it's so annoying to be the ticklish one when the other isn't. Well, I'm semi-ticklish, when I'm all hyper or wired or so...and then I'm susceptible.) and I started screaming and giggling...ai yi yi. Sometimes life is interesting.

I made a comment on the newsgroup about how I now date "higher up on the food chain" and he wasn't thrilled about it. He thought that made him sound like a predator (no, he's not), I said that wasn't what I meant, I meant not dating bottom-feeders- which he did understand, but thought people wouldn't get that. Sheesh.

No, I don't know if I'm going to see him tonight...well, I looked over at his calendar and he had something written on it about going to Oliver's (sigh). I didn't ask, and he hasn't shown up on IRC when I've been on =( (which is what I'm doing now, waiting around for him to go on it or something) or e-mailed me back (he got in the paper again, I e-mailed him about it). I miss him. Waaaah. I can't believe I miss him and I haven't seen him for...nine hours and twenty minutes. This'll really suck the next time he goes out of state for a month. I'd like to know if he's going to be around later tonight or what. That and Sarah called me asking me to ask him to go buy the booze for us ASAP, apparently...I said I didn't know if I would see him or not.

The line above reminds me of the conversation with her...her saying I should pick up on some guy in her English class, but I already have Remington and this guy wouldn't uh, go for the multiple boyfriend thing. "He's decent, you should go for decent guys," says she who's married to a psycho wife-beater and who should not be judging. "One that'll be faithful to you." (Which reminded me of last night's conversation with Victor, he said "I figure if he does fall for you, then she will become history." I took an unreasonable amount of hope from that.) Then the conversation got into why I go for sleaze...frankly, I prefer sleaze in a way to "decent" guys. "Decent" guys, to be honest, don't talk a lot. They kinda sit like bumps on a log and have no clue. When it comes to the romantic arts, they're illiterate. Sleazy guys know how to act around girls, and talk, and well, wow. Mmm. Which even Sarah who now is going for "nice nerds" had to agree with- "I like Ryan, but he has no personality and he has nothing to say." I hate that.

Is it natural to want to know the whereabouts of your boyfriend a lot of the time? Such as "So, where you going tonight? Should I expect you over sometime, or should I just get off IRC and do my work?" Or is that too pushy and shit?
