Just a note…
I will update later with all the things in my heart after this past weekend’s DC… but for now I will just say it was beautiful and just what we needed…
Oh by the way, I got in a wreck today… I’m okay, but poor Rodrigo!!!

Ouch
So there’s this handy little thing that I hope none of the rest of you need: Blockcheck. I just found out tonight that someone I considered one of my best friends was online… and has probably had me blocked for months. I was angry for a minute and a half, that this person would let me just assume that they were dead or something. But after some consideration I decided that it has to be something I did. And if they don’t know me well enough to realize I would never hurt any of my peeps on purpose, well, I guess we weren’t that close after all.

Boo-yah
I got an A on a test that made absolutely no sense to me! And now I’m in class in West Hall–I’ve never been here before and it smells funny!
The tuition crisis is over–all it cost me was one night’s sleep… Oy.

Ethics
I have two friends, let’s call them X and Y. X has said in the past he would like to be more than friends. It has been a while since his last declaration to that effect, but to my knowledge there’s been no one since me to whom he’s made a similar declaration. And we are good enough friends, I think he would tell me if there was someone else.
So why haven’t I told him that there’s someone else? I have feelings for friend Y. Even if I didn’t, I still wouldn’t want to be more than friends with X. And I don’t know how Y feels about me. And this isn’t the best time in my life to start dating someone anyway.
But now I need a favor from X. A pretty big favor, one that will require him to take time off work and drive a long way. And it just feels wrong to ask him to do this, if he’s thinking it’ll be a step forward for “us.”
But the favor is not just for me, another (girl) friend is involved. So if I don’t have X help out, I don’t know what she’ll do.
Should I tell X about Y, just to clear the air beforehand? I don’t want to make a big deal about it, because it’s not like Y and I are really serious. I also don’t want to have to spend a huge amount of time with X if his feelings are hurt or angry. But would it be better to just tell him, “Oh, by the way, there’s this guy Y, I think he’s swell. And if the draft comes back and he gets called up, I’ll marry him and bear his child to keep him from going. So if you get drafted, you’ll have to find your own pregnant wife. You should probably start looking now.” I don’t know.
CIA, my bestest bud, told me that the way to defuse the situation with X was just to ignore him mercilessly. But I need his help, and isn’t that what friends–repeat, FRIENDS–are for?
