A Few Notable Things

Friday morning, S and I had a long conversation, the first time we reallly talked to each other in weeks, perhaps months.

He told me that he has a crush on this girl MT from our section. MT is a petite girl from California; pretty; spunky. He was asking me for advice and whining a bit, because apparently MT had been flirting a lot with him but it was hard for him to figure her out. S, I should add, is extremely inexperienced in the area of women and courtship. His parents are very traditional and conservative, and he is very shy. He has never had a girlfriend.

I gave him what advice I could (which was actually a lot). I felt ambivalent about the whole thing, partly because I don't really think that he and MT are a good match. Perhaps I'm also a little sour that I'm no longer the Coolest Girl In the Section for him, but ah well. That was never going to last anyway. :) On the other hand, I'm happy that we are talking again. S also seems a bit less immature than before. Perhaps the pleasurable pains of luuuuurve has given him more depth. :P

Friday afternoon, ABS and I worked furiously on and finished our memo for the competition. He printed it out and handed the copies in while I went to DPP's house to play scrabble. Lost again. DPP is at the height of his powers, and I'm too underslept (and know too few words).

Friday evening, had dinner with J. her husband, S, and AC. Then I met with a friend from college (not really a friend... more like a stalker... long story that I shall not waste time recounting here. Asking me if you are truly interested... which I doubt) and had a drink. Or two. Then I went to the Indian Bhangra event that J organized (in her new capacity as the co-prez of the South Asian Law Student Association, aka SALSA, heh).

Lots of Bhangra music, and a lot of very intense dancing from my classmates. I was mildly scandalized by how certain individuals were bumping and grinding and REALLY getting down. Everyone was drunk and touch-feely and there was a lot of sexual energy in the air.

A guy that I know casually from the law school, AS, was very obviously hitting on me. He was clearly very drunk, but not drunk enough to pass out, only drunk enough to be lonely and wanting someone. I liked him enough to not want to yell at him (he's usually nice when he's sober). I am also extremely bad at saying "no" to guys. So instead I tried to stick close to J and her husband and tried to avoid him. S, J, et al were very amused at the whole spectacle.

The night ended with him insisting -- really INSISTING -- that he walk me home. Of course nothing happened. He hugged me before he left and said that I needed to go to his party next week. Came back and felt tired and relieved.

Saturday: worked all day. That's about it.

:D Feeling close to S once again.
:( Too much work.
