Yesterday was a good day. Not the kind of good day that is fun, but the kind in which important things happen and at the end of the day, you feel...renewed. I spent my morning waking up leisurely, and then met Zach for coffee at Bean There. It was nice. We just talked, mostly about relationships. He did most of the talking, too. I'm glad that he feels he can confide in me and talk to me.

On my way home, I called Mom and talked to her about...everything. My concerns, my fears, my insecurities and frustrations. Sometimes I wonder if I can do anything at all without her. It feels as if talking to her always helps untangle my thoughts, feelings, my life.

Once I got home, Jesse and I left to go to the store and bought the ingredients for beef stew (because it is tasty!). After we got back and began cooking, we also started talking. I think it was the most honest we have been with each other since our first summer together. Or maybe we have never been so honest with each other before. It was very therapeutic. I finally felt that we were on the same page and wanting the same things, from each other and in the long run.

I still don't know how we're going to navigate the near future, but I feel much better about it. I think we will find our own answer, maybe not as conventional an answer as we expected, but something that will work for both of us.

I am reminded again that in relationships there is no "right" way to be or live. What works for one couple won't work for another. That's all right. Jesse and I will find a path that we can walk together, or not. But I think we will.

Well. Things. Um, I have a lot of work this week. About 40 hours, which I suppose is average for most people, but almost twice what I usually work. Today (or I guess, technically "yesterday") I thought I might get to hang out with Zach from work. He is awesome and smart, and I was excited to hang out with a friend that wasn't Jesse's. But I haven't heard from him since we left work. I sent him a message after I got home from work, and haven't heard anything yet. I've tried to get in touch with him a couple of times today, but no luck. I don't know if something's wrong or he just forgot, or what. I'm anxious and disappointed. Since it's Sunday, I have been extra blah. But I played WoW and got Ophyria reasonably into level 66, and made a draenei priest on Farstriders. She's only level 8, though. Other than that, I finished reading Dark Reign: Deadpool/Thunderbolts, Batman: Lovers and Madmen and Young Avengers: Sidekicks, all of which were great. Deadpool is super awesome, as usual, and I actually sold a Deadpool comic yesterday. To a kid who seems to me, personally, to be too young to read it, but whatever. Lovers and Madmen was really interesting. I'd be interested to hear Dan'o and Suki's opinions of it. Or really anyone interested in comics. I had mixed feelings about the art. Certain panels I loved, and other times I thought it was unpleasant. Which I suppose is possibly intentional, because it reflects the nature of insanity and the relationship between Batman and the Joker fairly well. Insanity can lead to beautiful things--genius and creativity--but it can also be twisted and horrible. And the weird dependence that Batman and the Joker have is the same, the relationship that develops between them I think really reflects the dynamic of insanity. So that was interesting.

But I'm still anxious about the whole thing with Zach. It reminds me simultaneously of a lot of things: stuff with Jason Stafford (blast from the past!), Derek, Jason Babcock, and Tom. Tom is the only one allowed to flake out on me in any serious manner. So if he just flaked, that is probably going to result in rapid distancing between us. 'Cause I don't need a friendship like with Jason S, where I'm always the one trying to make things happen and the only one really invested in the friendship. Basically all the problems I had with Derek stemmed from my worry that he had only been friends with me because I was friends with Lauren. Even though there was sort of more to it, what it all comes down to is that. I thought I was alone in feeling like our friendship was important, and it got me so screwed up that I could barely talk to him for a year or whatever. So I don't need that, either. Anyway, I am mostly worried, because since we started talking to each other he's been really good about getting back to me at some point, even if it's a long time after I message him. 24 hours is kind of pushing it, though.

I hope everything is ok and that we can hang out another time.

I wanted to update earlier, but I don't really know what I wanted to say. So this will be good night.

P.S. "Spin Around" (by Crease) has been running through my head today. The text in the icon is from that song.

P.P.S. I really liked the Young Avengers comic. It was nice seeing how the team came together and everything. I think Billy is adorable, and I'm so glad they changed his name from Asgardian *eye roll* to Wiccan. I am going to have to track down the next volume.

PCP AWESOMENESS!!

Brian gave me 2 pills and so I rolled and it was awesome. I got to reconnect with most of my friends from first year, which was really nice. And not just that I was rolling and they were (or sometimes weren't), but we actually talked and it was really nice. I also was able to talk to Jon Stevens and we agreed that we both wanted to be friends and get to know each other. I also wandered around with Rew and Rebecca and I talked to Rew about a lot of stuff regarding Anya. And Derek and Lauren were both rolling, and even though I didn't spend too much time with them when we were all solidly rolling, I still had a very good talk with Derek about the weirdness last year. I think we're okay, and I'm incredibly happy about it. I feel like I have just rediscovered a whole other wealth of people that I was really missing. I think I really needed this. And I should go to bed because Rachel and I were going to get together tomorrow while she's at the sculpture studio, so I should shower and go to bed. But I wanted to capture this happy feeling of connection and acceptance. I love my friends, all of them. I'm really lucky. I am very aware of it right at this second.

I think I'm going to have a snack, shower, and go to bed.

Lots of love.

[Note: Paul helped me pick this icon, and he said this is what I looked like when I came into the room a few minutes ago. Woot.]

HAPPY!

Well, I'm back in Florida. So far, this has been much more pleasant than the past 2 years of moving in and such. I think it's because I'm so very happy to see my friends and roommates. It's always hard leaving Jesse, but this year it's being countered by having my friends around.

My room doesn't look like a room yet. The black suitcase is still in the middle of the floor, and there's random debris strewn about. But my bed is made, which always makes a room look less...unlived in or whatever. Later I will have hangers and such. I also need to raise my bed higher, because right now there's not enough storage space underneath it.

I don't know what I'll be doing for classes. Latin for sure. Maybe a tutorial with professor Zhang, and I might try to get a job at the library. I could at least ask.

Aside from the heat, which is as miserable as always, it's pretty good to be back. I'm relieved. Well, I haven't met with Rohrbacher yet, of course, so it could get worse.

Loves.
