Well its been a while since I last updated this; we're getting ready for Christmas break and, truth be told, I'm bushed. I think I'm going to forego adding a new edition of the "Tree-Splitter" this entry, and wait until I get home for the Holidays before I take to doing that. Just a matter of convenience and everything on my part; also few people have been commenting on it, so I'm sure if anyone is actually reading it (lets hope more people read the verse edition when its published! )
Anyway, I'm feeling a bit odd at the moment. A few days ago I ran into an old GF of mine on the internet and we started talking. We dated about two and a half years ago and hadn't talked in a while so it was actually kind of fun catching up; last I heard she'd moved down to the South and gotten engaged. I'm actually really happy for her in those regards (yes, you cynics can roll you eyes here if you so choose) So, I just got done talking to her for about an hour and it was really nice.
The problem of course (and yes, this is me, so there is ALWAYS a problem; I'm apparently a moody fucker) is I can't help but feel that I really let her get away when I shouldn't have. It was over two years ago, so I'm entirely over it; but I still have to admit that she was the single most interesting girl I've met in a long time and comes closest to being my 'perfect' type. When we were going out I knew it was going to be a short thing; a rebound situation, and so I wasn't terribly upset when it ended, but....damn.
The worst thing is that I had a dream about her a few nights ago which threw me off the entire next day. *laughs* Now, I'm not sure if talking to her again, all of a sudden, sparked that or what; or, for that matter, if I've romanticised the past because she really was that perfect or just because she's the last girl I dated (shortly after breaking up my love life wandered onto the tracks and got run down a train called 'teaching'). *shrugs* Oh well, they were good times, I'll admit that much; and as soon as I get back onto the field I'm sure there will be many more good times with other people. It was nice talking to her lately at the very least.
So, I'm going to get signed off here; school is coming up tomorrow which will be a busy day and I've got tons of work to do before my plane takes off on Thursday (Weather permitting....god, how I hate that term. One of these days I'm going to get to a place where I no longer have to hear it. If there is a blizzard I'll just drive through the damn thing, rather than worry about a damn airplane being able to land). So HAPPY HOLIDAYS! to you all! Take care and enjoy the time with your friends and family!
Actually, one of my professors makes his own mead. If there was any recitation of epic poetry, though, I didn't hear it.
