But O! Discordia Dietrich stalked not alone
For wretched weird weaves its webs uncaring
Of the great loves and losses of man.
Men mean little when measured by it.
With a bone-chill howl a heros fate was sealed
Soon widows weeping would echo the wood
A sons scream would shatter the trees
And the bellowing of a beastly villain
Would carry no more through the cold world!

Der Deitrichlied - Me
I have an embarrassing story to relate. One which I'm not particularly proud of, but one which, now that I look back on it, provided a certain amount of humor value at the very least.
So, a few weeks ago I ran into a girl who I hadn't seen in a year. I should also state from the beginning that I had a huge crush on her from the first time I met her. Unfortuantely, she had a boyfriend at the time and, right around the time they broke up, she began student teaching and I lost track of her for an entire year.
St. Patrick's Day came and, out of the blue, I ran into her at the bar. We made plans to get together a bit later and come, two monday's ago, we did just that. Now, I should say from the beginning, that I didn't expect much to come from it; I had a policy against chasing crushes, because in my experience it never seems to work out. I planned on hanging out with her, and admitting the crush. However, I didn't expect her to feel the same way in the least; likely she'd say that I wasn't her type. I expected this would hurt a bit, but, once it was all out in the open, it would pass quickly, and things would be fine.
This is not the way it happened. We got together at a local restraunt for a few drinks and, I quickly noticed that she was flirting with me pretty hardcore (when a girl calls you sexy, its pretty easy to notice!) We ended up having a great evening, talked about actually getting into a relationship, and the night ended with me walking her to her car and getting a good 10 minutes of kissing out of the deal.
As I said, I'd had a crush on her for about two years. To have things suddenly seeming to work out ... I was floating on cloud 9 for the rest of the week.
So, everything sounds like it worked out just fine, right? Right? Ha! No chance.
A week later we got together again, only things had changed. She admitted to being embarrassed about the entire situation, said...
