Happy New Year ladies!

Ok, so I figured since everyone else has updated in the last couple days, maybe I should too. I haven't updated for a few days because I haven't had much positive to share. As some of you may have read in Mac and Cheese's journal, I went out to dinner with Roomiestar, PC, and Bowler. Which was really good because things had been kinda rough that week, so I was really glad to be able to hang out with Roomiestar and PC again. As far as Bowler whom I shall now call Curly from now on...it was just awkward. I had been realizing over the last week or so that I have really developed an interest in him. Why? I'm not totally sure because he seems all wrong for me in a lot of ways, but at the same time, there's just something about him. Well, anyway...I was nervous being around him so I was really quiet and reserved and not quite myself. After dinner we all went to Old Navy then to Barnes and Noble, then Curly had to go home and go to bed because he had to work early in the morning. So Roomiestar, PC, and I came back to the house and played Scrabble. Before we started playing, I was talking to PC about some stuff and he eventually got it out of me that I haven't been able to stop thinking about Curly. Well...he soon told me that Curly was going to stop by the house the previous day and ask me out to lunch, but couldn't because he was on his motorcycle (yes, he has one) and it had started raining. So I was on cloud 9 for a while. I joked around about going to see him at work the next day on base even though I have no reason to go through the gate he was working. So PC came up with the idea that "I" would take him lunch...meaning I would pay for it and hand it to him but all of us would be going out there. So we did just that. On the way I was getting really nervous and PC just told me to be myself, relax, and tell him to call me. So I didn't do any of that. Then as we were driving away, PC told me that I failed, because he had talked to Curly and Curly had said that if I asked him to call me that he would do so. SO, I decided to go back. Which I did, and PC suggested that I write my number down and hand it to him so I would be officially giving him my number. At this point, he had made it out to be a sure thing, so I was really excited and feeling a lot bolder than usual. So I did it. The conversation was really awkward and I felt like an idiot the split second I drove away.

Now...this is where I would like to say that I went home and he called a couple hours later and we hung out. Unfortunately, I can't say that because he still hasn't called. So yeah...that was REALLY disappointing. I talked to PC today, however, and PC said that Curly has been sick all weekend and simultaneously busy with work. Still not enough reason for me to call him, but I'm still giving him a chance to call me. If he doesn't, then oh well. I'll get on with my life. If he does, then who knows. One thing is for sure...IF anything were to ever happen between us, he's going to have to do a little fightin for my heart. So yeah...that's what's been going on. My New Year's really was pretty crappy, but life goes on. My New Year's Day was pretty decent though. Once I got past the depression resulting from the rejection, I ended up having a lot of fun with Roomiestar, PC, Banana, Scuba, Ruby Tuesday, and Burrito Man (I may think of better names for them later). We played games and just hung out for a while then we went to Fox and Hound for dinner (service wasn't so great, but the food was delicious) then we came back here and had some ice cream and played never have I ever.

So yeah...if anything happens with the Curly situation, I'll let you know, but don't hold your breath on it. It's gettin late, so I'll probably be hitting the hay soon. I hope you all have a wonderful year in 2006!

God bless!
