Chance Meetings

Just got the Dinner and Dance tickets done and printed out today. Andrew, bless him, did almost all of the designing and I did the laughing and ordering him around. So they're done and boy they look fine. I can't wait until I'm relieved of all the things I have to do, when I can finally start living my own life.

Edwin has been telling me about this funky smell in my room and today I realised he's been right. It does smell and I have no idea why, because I use two air fresheners and I wash my clothes once a week and I vacuum my room and things and generally live a very clean clutter-free life. Personally, I believe that the funky smell diffuses from Edwin's room into mine.

I was in the Union today because I wanted to grab a quick bite before going over to Gerald's house to get the tickets printed out, and I bumped into Dan. We had the shortest of chats and he said that he had texted me about a week ago because he'd seen me coming out of the Union but I hadn't seen him, and also about a month ago telling me of his new number. I hadn't received both and I think he must've saved my number wrongly, which kind of shows how much I mean to him now. Aw just kidding, I could tell that he still thought I was pretty (something about the eyes, they kinda dilate in approval) and he still thought I was nice. Anyway, if I could've met someone so nice just for the shortest of times and even if it hadn't worked out, it just shows that the next lad I meet and the next will definitely get nicer and nicer. And I don't have to go out of my way to meet people, or to meet nice people for that matter; because I believe they will come to me.

It was good though that we managed to talk as friends and I was glad to see that he still made the effort to remain friends and things. And after that I was walking back home thinking and it was funny how I still think that alot of things about us and our personalities are very similar and we can talk about alot of things, but there's nothing in me that cries out with neediness anymore. I'm glad that I've met someone like that, it was truly rare and I think I've learnt to let go and let it be.
