I'm going on hiatus, I think.

It was fun. Maybe I'll be back.

But lots of things happened that were interesting. Quick detailless recap of the day:

-good date

-dude on the bus

-good classes

-goodnight

Whee.

Yesterday's missing post

...was not on account of visiting Andy. I just wasn't in the mood to post. Then I forgot.

So I definitely had things to talk about yesterday, but at this point I've forgotten pretty much all of them. I remember not liking that we had a particular guest in our apartment. That's about it.

Oh, right. Karate. We've learned our first kata: Taikyoku Shodan. A kata is essentially a practice form that puts you through a series of moves. Taikyoku Shodan is basically kata form 1A. It's just basic punches a bunch of down blocks. Still, though, I'm pretty psyched to have learned it.

I took karate as a child, just for a little while, and the only thing I remember learning was some set of moves that didn't seem to mean anything. Looking back, now, I think that must have been this. I can definitely appreciate it a lot more now.

Something else exciting regarding karate: today, after showering, I noticed I'm slowly beginning to develop abs. Hot.

Anyway, so today not a whole lot happened, yet. Standard day of classes. I did see Girl on the bus for the first time in ages. She was talking to somebody she knew, a cute guy in a fedora. She has her hair dyed purple now. We didn't really interact, other than an exchanged smile when I boarded. Apparently I was really repulsive, because nobody sat next to me the entire ride, except one person, who then moved. There was even a very good-looking guy (sorta looked like Andy, actually) who, based on his dress, I'm stereotyping was gay. I was sad he passed me by. Oh well. When we got to school, he then complimented Girl on her hair, and asked her where she got the dye, because he needed some purple dye, he said. Cute guy. :p

Speaking of cute guys, I have a date tonight with my current favorite of them. I actually just got a text that Andy's on his way. We have reservations in an hour at Benihana, a Japanese cook-at-the-table restaurant(that style may or may not be called "hibachi." I've had some confusion as to what that term specifically refers to). I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to seeing him. It was only Monday I saw him last, but hey.

I'm actually back to being worried concerning him. That's just insecurities, I suppose. If I'm not about to beef up and overcome them, then all I can do is sit through them and try to act as reasonably as possible. We'll see what happens (I'm sure I've said that fifty times here by now).

Anyway, I'll wrap this up and...I don't know. Rehydrate or work on that poem or something. Later.

I'm not great at this whole consistency thing.

...basically now I'm in a bad mood again.

It's pretty stupid.

Also I don't really feel like blogging right now.

Nothing super exciting happened today, though, so just pretend I told you about a normal day.

I should go do homework.

God-damned delightful

In fact, I cannot wait to see Andy, apparently. We haven't gone more than five days without seeing each other since we first met in person. I'm totally okay with that, too.

So last night after getting back from Easter, I was sorta doing homework and mostly talking to Andy. After a time, he told me his friend Adam had shown up, so I dismissed him. However, the conversation turned out to continue going on, and somewhere in there Adam said he'd like to meet me sometime. It didn't take long before I was out at the bus stop, waiting to make my way north.

While waiting there, I called Andy to make sure that I hadn't missed a vital bus passing. I don't know whether I had or not, because the only response I got after a moment was, "we're coming to get you." So I returned home and waiting. Some time later I got a call that the two were there, so I made my way outside and met them. We decided to go to the Mini-Gourmet before heading north, and we chatted for a while and Adam (who is Andy's best friend, it turns out) interrogated me about myself. Apparently he was pleased that I was cute (which was apparently a change from past guys Andy's seen. That's nice, I guess?). After a time we did head north, where we then hung out further. After however long, Adam left.

Now, I had every intention to make it to school today, which just meant that I had to be back in San Jose by 11:30. That's totally doable. Andy and I, before too long, went to bed.

I'm not going to go into tremendous detail about everything that happened in that bed (there was no sex that night, if that's what you were wondering), but trust that it was very close, and very sweet, and I was just continually reminded of how special I think he is. I was stunned several times throughout the night (and following morning) when I was being held so comfortably, having great interactions with somebody I really enjoy the company of, and I turn around to look him in the eye and see that, yeah, by the way: he's utterly gorgeous, too. Really, not a bad way to spend a night.

The next morning I was well aware that school was not vital to me. Now, I don't want it to seem like I don't value my education, but I had two morning classes, and I knew what we were doing in both of them and I have both of them five times a week, and they're only an hour each. I felt like missing a session of each was acceptable, considering the great non-academic benefit I was getting from staying. In a lot of ways, I think that's more immediately important. Anyway, I won't make a habit of it.

So we hung around in bed a lot, and spent a lot of time kissing and cuddling and being generally (and specifically) intimate. It was all lovely. It was all wonderful. I was so fucking happy the whole time.

Eventually we got up to do things. Arlia (his dog) needed more food, so we went to the store to get some, Arlia in tow. The fun part was that we took his motorcycle. I had never been on one before, and I love it (granted, it was a little different experience with the sidecar attached, but the sidecar had a dog in it, so it just became a slightly different sort of awesome). I was also fond of having my arms around him the whole time. On the way back from the pet store, we stopped in GameStop, where I convinced myself to buy and actualy 3DS game: The Sims 3, which is the only launch title that even a little bit appealed to me. I've played it some. I was expecting a plot-driven game, as some former handheld Sims games were, but it isn't that way. It's more like a simplified version of The Sims. I'm not in love with it, thus, but whatever. I might enjoy it.

It wasn't too long after that that it was time for me to return to San Jose in order to get to karate (which is only twice a week and always features new material), and for him to make his way to Boulder Creek in order to take care of some of the business. He hung out for a few minutes when he dropped me off, and then we both departed to our destinations. We will see each other again on Thursday.

I am so fucking happy with this guy. I love spending time with him, and at this point I know he enjoys spending time with me. Things are going so well, and I'm just very hopeful that they continue this way. It'd be something of an honor to be able to call him my boyfriend. I know that we have something good going for us right now, though, so I'm really not in a hurry, I guess. I'm just happy to have what I have now with him. I look forward to see what happens next.

Happy Easter!

Okay, so Easter was yesterday, but it seems to be a theme that when I do something with Andy, a blog falls away. I thought my day was worth mentioning on its own, though, and independently of today, so I'll go ahead and do two separate posts.

I had plans to go brunch with my grandparents, along with Bri and Susan. I was picked up around 10:30ish. As per plans made the night before, I told Andy I would let him know what Easter-day plans were, as I had told him he could join in. Brunch was nice (fruit, bacon, eggs, doughnuts and a mountain of jelly beans), and lasted until 1:30-2:00ish. At that point I called Andy a few times, to let him know that we planned to hike. However, when I did finally get a hold of him, Easter plans had been devised by his family, so he went on his way to address those. The rest of us went up the hill (there's a hill called "the hill." I don't know which hill it is) and began hiking.

The hike was fantastic. It began on these sloping hills where everything was very foggy. As we continued on our way, we elected to visit on of the trails that would take us through an oak grove. We ended up sort of lost, though, and we ended up on a totally different path, walking way on top of a hill. It was mostly foggy, but where it was broken, there was an awesome view of everything around. Eventually we did find the oak grove, and it was quiet and mystical and covered in moss and generally awesome. Finally we returned on our way, and it decided then to be sunny, so all the hills were painted all these lovely greens. I swear, the entire time I felt like I was in any of several Miyazaki films.

After the hike, we dropped by Los Gatos to get dinner at this nice place. I got chicken alfredo penne. It was delicious. I began chatting with Andy before dinner began, catching up on how our days had gone. It would have been nice to have seen him, but really: we have a date on Thursday. I can wait a little while, right?

Wrong.

RIP Tumor Rat

Didn't do a lot today, really. Sat around. Ate some. Sat around some more. Drove myself crazy. Drove myself joyous. Got driven to get doughnuts (which weren't very good), and played keyboard a bunch.

The only thing worth denoting as different today was the death of Ellie, popularly known as "tumor rat," because of the six rats that Courtney (my roommate) owns, she was the only one with a tumor that doubled her body size. It was grotesque and saddening, and today she passed away.

Courtney was having a lot of issue figuring out where to bury her. She didn't want to just trash the body, of course, but since we moved to the top floor of this duplex, the tiny amount of non-concrete on this property is not ours. All of Courtney's past rats (in total she's owned eleven, I believe) are buried at her home in LA, but that wasn't exactly an option. Also, doing it in, say, a park or something would be sorta fishy.

Now, in the interest of not being caught, I will not disclose where the body does now lie. However, rest assured that we found an inconspicuous-ish spot on some property somewhere in the valley where Ellie and her accessory are being slowly work on by ants we found in the hole we dug. Well, Will dug the hole. Courtney, Sam and I just watched and laughed at the absurdity of where we did end up going. It was a good time. Heh.

So that was that, and most of my day. Tomorrow I'm doing brunch with Bob and Bobbie and Susan and Bri and maybe some others? And then I'm probably going somewhere to do something with Susan and Bri and maybe others. I'm going to find out what exactly is going on, and then tell Andy about it, and if he's interested, I'll see if he can come along (I'm sure he'll be able to), so that's really exciting becauuuuuse....because I'm really into him, and miss him already. Two days, yeah. Whatever. I just like seeing him.

Alright, I'm out.
