Gee, sure has been awhile since I updated. Well, the first week of owning the Sims 2 was dominated by it. Then I set it aside for a week or so and did schoolwork. The Class That Ate My Weekends is now over, so that's something.
My tire shreaded on the way home from a party last night. This is not a good year for me and tires. (Pun not intended) On the positive side, I can change a tire in under 10 minutes with even the crappiest jack set. On the down side... well, changing tires sucks, especially at 12:30 am on the side of the interstate.
In other news, my mental/emotional state is becoming complex and showing small stress fractures. Nothing critical as yet, but it's something I need to address before I turn into an angsty, moody nerf ball. (This is going to happen anyway, what with winter and all, but I'd assume delay it as much as possible)
So, current innocent crush is slowly (or not so slowly, depending on how you measure) developing into something more significant. I can already tell this is going to be problematic.
Crushes are harmless, innocent, and generally pleasant. More Than Crushes are generally complicated, messy, and end with the loss of a friend. Also, while CC is quite excellent in every regard, I have this nagging feeling that I can't quite pin down, but mostly it boils down to "I'm not entirely sure I'm an interesting enough person for her." or, more succinctly: "I think I'm boring."
It's something of a moot point, as I have yet to brooch the subject with her. (As a human being with working eyes, she's probably somewhat aware already.) "Brooching the subject" is something I'm also bad at - I'm much happier with the Get Drunk, Hook Up, Figure It All Out In The Morning school. [Note: Prior experience indicates this is a sub-optimal dating philosophy]
Also - and ultimately - these stress fractures are caused by the pull of two opposed forces. The desire to remain single, simple, and emotionally stunted is quite strong. The desire to try out a relationship again with CC is growing and making my life less stellar than it ought to be.
Ultimately, I need to bring this topic up. Just how to do that remains a mystery, especially since (when it comes to things like this) I'm a tremendous pussy.
