02.26.04 [21:36] // dream // "I have no idea what the hell you're talking about it, but at least you're enthusiastic about it!" Yeah. I'm back. I have lots to talk about for a chance. This has been, in many ways, one of the worst weeks ever. There's just been so much going on, everything seems to be going wrong, and I don't think I've failed/done badly on this many quizzes and tests before (I made a 75 on a quiz in Chemistry on Monday. Chemistry. The class that I am supposed to always make 100s in. It wasn't a great way to start off my week, to say the least). BUT, it has also been a week of a few personal victories. :D CURTIS DIDN'T MAKE AN A ON THE PHYSICS QUIZ!!! Yes. The day I had been waiting for for such a long time finally arrived. He made an 87 on yesterday's quiz, meaning he *finally* had to sit up front during the reteach today, whereas *I* was sitting pretty at a 94 and got to sit in the back. :D Also, Mrs. Schweiger has been allowing people to come in in the morningsto do their circuit-building part of the electricity lab practical. I did mine yesterday and got a 25 out of 25; I got a really easy series circuit. Want to know what Curtis got? A 5 out of 25. Amusingly enough it is because of what I mentioned before -- he can't hook up ammeters and voltmeters to save his life! :P On the bad side, Curtis and Kathleen have moved from simply walking together in the halls to holding hands and actual PDA's. But ALL IS NOT LOST, for I am miraculously getting over it. The reason being? The guy I mentioned on Sunday. First off, his name is Jason. Yes, strangely enough he has the same first name as the one and only boyfriend/ex I've ever had. Anyway, THIS Jason is a Junior and he goes to KC. He was my driving partner on Sunday, and we got along really well after we finally started talking. I remembered him from class 'cause one day he'd been wearing an RK T-shirt, so I'd prayed, "If I have to drive with someone else from this class, please let it be him!" because, you know, shared interests = potential friend. So anyhow, halfway through we switched seats to let me drive, and the instructor had to go out for a pit stop, so we started talking. It was cute 'cause he was like, leaning over the seat and stuff. :) We went on talking while we drove, and that's when I found out he is obsessed with anime and he used to be in KC's DDR club! That was tres cool. And we kept trying to catch each other's eye in the rearview mirror. :] By the time we got to my house and I got out, we waved and he called out, "See you tomorrow!" So that was promising. Then Monday, I walked into class and he was already there, but he wasn't looking up so I didn't think he'd noticed that I'd come in, so I didn't know what to do. But as soon as I sat down, he walked over and came to sit next to me (he sits two rows in front of me normally), and we talked, and he gave me the first volume of Excel Saga on DVD to borrow because he wanted me to see it. ^^! But then Lauren the dumb blonde came in and claimed her seat, so he went back up, got his own chair, and sat it in the aisle next to mine!! Except, by that time there were lots of people there and Brittany was half-trying to talk to me, so I didn't know what to say to him, and eventually he just moved back without saying anything. (I'm bad in social situations.) Then class started, so I resolved that during break *I* would take initiative and take my chair and go sit by him, to kind of make up for not having thought of anything to say. So uhh, that's what I did, and we talked for a long time.. and I swear that is the longest I have ever sat and made complete and total eye contact with someone. Normally I am embarrassed about making eye contact because I am insecure and don't like people looking at me, but somehow it felt fine to just sit and look at him and have him look back! (He has pretty eyes. Like Charles's. Really dark.) So finally it was about time to go back to our seats and I asked him if it was okay if I gave him back the DVD by Wednesday rather than today because I didn't think I could watch all of it before the next class. He said that was perfectly fine, and then he was suddenly like, "Uhh hey, why don't you give me your phone number so I can call you sometime?" I was completely psyched, but he got me paper and I wrote it down, and soon after I had to go back to my seat. An hour later, class was over. I'm the outside person in my row which means I generally have to go and put the textbooks back up, only then Mr. Foster said that he just needed one person from each group to get the books. I saw Jason look at me to see if I was getting the books for my group, which I was, so he got the books for his group, and we both went up to put up the books, and on the way back he gave me a piece of paper with BOTH his home number AND his cell number *^___^* saying, "Here, so you can call me sometime!" I was.. so shocked. It was cool!! And he walked me out and held the door for me as we left, and we said bye and I got in my dad's car. :D And when I got home and did pirouettes and jetés down the hallway 'cause I was so happy. Tuesday I was even more daring because *I sat next to him* and risked getting in trouble, but it was fine, and it was funny, and OMG he has a younger sister the exact same age as mine who behaves practically the exact same way as Deborah (obsession with make-up, phone calls and popularity) and HE'S OBSESSED WITH XENOSAGA JUST LIKE ME. *squeal* *fangirl moment* Haha. I was so freakishly happy, I couldn't stop smiling. This is just too cool. Never in my life IRL has a guy so obviously liked me, just liked me for ME, and it's so awesome! Yesterday, I gave him back his DVD, and he already had the next volume ready for me. o_O I also gave him one of my RK DVD's because he'd only seen up until the end of the Kyoto Arc. So we talked about anime for a while, and then we started talking more about video games. We'd already found out that we had some weird things in common, like both of us having started our VG obsession with Final Fantasy VII. So he asked me who my favorite FFVII character is, so I told him it was Vincent. Him: "Wow -- me too!" So we talked about that game for a while. Then later, I asked him what he wants to be when he grows up, and he said, "Umm, probably a video game designer." Me: "o___O Wow. Me too!!" And at the end of class as we were walking out he asked, "So do you really want to be a video game designer?" and I said, "Yeah. My dream job would be to work in Japan for a company like Squaresoft." And he said: "...ME TOO!" At which point we both went, "OH MY GOD, this is way too weird." Yesterday was also funny because our section of the room was practically playing musical chairs. Mr. Foster seemed to have decided that we could disregard the seating assignments from now on, so our part of the room was juggling seats all around to make sure everyone would get to sit by who they wanted to sit by. Amusingly enough everyone seemed to have realized that Jason and I like each other and wanted to sit by each other, so they kept making provisions so we would still end up next to each other. It was like.. "Hey Nara, why don't you take Heather's seat up there so you can sit next to Jason." Heather: "But she can't take my seat!" "But can't you move over here so they can sit there?" "No!" "Okay, so what if I move up there and then they can move back here!" "That works!" "Heather you better appreciate the sacrifice I'm making!" And Jason and I were just sitting there the whole time going, "o___O ookay." Today was almost as good as, if not better than, Monday. (I dunno, the whole asking for my phone number thing really tickled my fancy. =3 Especially since practically everything else in my life is going horribly wrong while this is going amazingly right. You can tell I'm excited.) At first things were just like normal. I gave him back his Excel DVD and again he gave me the next volume. He also gave me back my RK DVD so we talked about that for a bit. We also talked about school, and Physics. He was in KC's boat races, but their boat never even made it off the edge. ^_^;; Then later, he asked something, and I couldn't understand, so I asked him to repeat, and he asked, "What time are you going to be done with the tournament on Saturday?" because I'd told him about MAT and how we're having the Jr. High contest and the game room and stuff. (Which, by the way, besides staffing the game room on Saturday, I also get to be a proctor. That should be tres awesome.) So I told him I'd probably be done by 2 PM, except then I have to go to Westfield HS for the art competition, and then to the airport because mom is going out of town. But then I thought -- hey wait a second. He already asked that question yesterday, so he already knew the answer. And he seems to remember everything I tell him, because he hasn't anytime before asked a question twice or something. So I thought back and realized, the first time he'd asked the question today, he'd phrased it, "So umm, how busy are you on Saturday?" and I thought.. *wheels turning* OH MY GOD. 0__0 Was that the point where I was supposed to lie and say "nonono I'm completely free on Saturday"? ^o^' So umm.. I might be going to his house on Saturday night, to play video games, lol. But I will have to check if that works out with my schedule and if dad's okay with that. Which, was a little disturbing after class today. We were a bit late because people had been talking and taking ages on their final exam. Jason always walks me out now, and as I got in dad's car, he asked, "Was it so hard for you two to part in there?" I was like.. o___O What did he think we were DOING? *blink* *doesn't want to know* Anyway, I have to run and put some final touches on my art piece. And maybe try to find time to start on the Pre-Cal homework I've been procrastinating on since I've been watching so much Excel Saga this week. >_> Namaste!
