Lately

Lately, I have been talking to Cinderella a lot. She's coming back home in a couple weeks and I'm pretty excited, I'll have you know. We've gotten back to flirting through texts and calls and it's pretty awesome. I'm hoping something good is going to happen when she comes back, but really, who knows?

There's also a new girl. She's on the speech team with me, so I'm a little hesitant about that, but I swear that we are twins who look nothing alike and were born a year or two apart. Whenever Speechie and I have a conversation, inevitably we finish each others sentences or have a moment where one of us says, "That's what I was going to say!" Every time. I'm not sure if she's interested or not, but there's been some minimal flirting and some pretty good talks. I'm hoping some good stuff happens in that direction too.

I Need a New Computer

So recently, my computer has been having some temperature issues. It has overheated and shut itself down numerous times in the past few weeks. Now, my room is fairly cool. I've got a cross breeze and a whole host of fans, so I can pretty much dictate whatever temperature I want in my room. So, theoretically, my computer should be nowhere near overheating-especially when its not doing anything except idling. I'm not entirely sure what's wrong with it, but it is getting pretty old, its going on 6 years now, and I'm thinking about getting a new computer. Unfortunately, being a college student, I don't have a whole lot of funds.

What this really has to do with anything is this: Cinderella and I were talking on AIM and she requested a video conference. My own webcam was packed up somewhere from coming home from college about a year and a half ago, but that's another story. Anyways, Cinderella's webcam turned on, and I saw her face for the first time in a month. And I fell in love with her all over again. Seeing her smile just melted my heart and made me miss the hundred and one things that she did that made ME smile. So, of course, in my attempt to hopefully do the same to her, I rushed into my closet and began throwing things onto my bed to find my camera. Finally, I found it and plugged it in. Of course it didn't work. I tried to install it on my computer, but everytime, just as it was about to work, the program would close. Unfortunately, she was getting ready to go out with her friends, so it was a race against time for me to install it. She wasn't going to wait up for me. I tried everything, and finally realized I was going to have to reboot my computer.

Somehow, in my head, I equated getting my webcam to work before she left to getting back together. I told her I would be right back and restarted my computer. By the time my old computer finally came back online, she was gone and my hopes dashed.

And I still haven't been able to install that damn webcam.

State of the Union

We're at war, the economy sucks, and my rating is down....

Wait.

Wrong speech.

So, Cinderella is still away at school. We haven't talked on the phone for a couple of weeks, but we normally at least text each other every day. She comes in next month for a long weekend. I'm hoping that goes well. I'm really anxious to see her, and I hope she is as excited to see me as I will be to her. But that's still a month away, and until then, I don't anticipate getting to talk to her all that much.

Tonight, I picked up the Greek after work and we hung out at my house. Her laptop has been on the fritz so she needed to use my computer for some school work. So she did her work, emailed it to herself to print it off at school. And then we went downstairs to watch Harold and Kumar 2 together. (Which, might I add, is a hugely underrated movie. It's not serious or completely believable which is what it strives to be. And the satire is incredibly biting) Anyways, we sat next to each other and watched the movie and it was just really nice. Sometimes we would make funny faces at each other, and do our best to distract the other, and pretty much just be immature as possible. And, to tell the truth, it was nice. Just really nice being with her. And I know I want to do my best to stay friends with her as long as I can.
