The (Happy!) Rant Thread

[Overshine]

I cleaned up my suite finally. I just had some Bacardi Raz bottles laying around on the desk & a full trash-can in my room. I took out the one in the common area too, which really isn't my responsibility [seeing how I haven't thrown away anything out there since I moved in], but I don't mind so much right now; things need to be presentable, y'know?

Anyway, I'm pretty sure the reason things need to be clean right now is a lot more important [to me anyway] than the cleaning itself.

There's this guy I'm "talking to" right now. He's a good one. He's cute, built correctly [i.e., I'm not afraid I'm going to break him or be impaled on one of his ribs], red hair [I have a weakness for redheads], and has these really intense, He's one of those who actually acts like a human being instead of a three-headed, acid-spitting freak of nature from planet jerkface.

The irony of the situation's probably the biggest thing. We have two of the same ex's.. "kind of". Their names are Dustin & Michael, to spare confusion. I say "kind of" because I "dated" Dustin for about... two days? I'm rigid about knowing someone for at least a few months before I even think about dating them. He asked me too soon & I agreed [this was back in high school], but then I felt weird about it and told him I couldn't do it.

Then I eventually got with Michael a while later, whom I dated for about two years and Dustin started with Jeremy about a week after I turned him [Dustin] down, which somehow stirred up conflict between Jeremy & I. I wouldn't even acknowledge his presence for about two years. Michael ended up dating Jeremy for a little over a month, at which point they broke up because Michael showed the same ugly personality traits he did about a year and a half into my relationship with him.

Michael's a totally different story, but I'll just say that up until recently, when I ultimately told him to just waltz right back out of my life for good, we'd been on-and-off friends; it was really difficult to talk to him because, after two years now, he still hasn't really entirely moved on.. and that causes issues.

Anywho, Jeremy & Michael, after they broke up, continued their uh. Conjugal relationship, to put it in appropriate terms. One night, Michael decided he'd bring Jeremy when we went to see a movie with one of our mutual friends. I ended up making small talk with Jeremy as I began to realize that we really had no reason to be at odds. That night I dropped him a message on MySpace to make amends, which was effective.

I started talking to him on messenger and hanging out with him quite a bit, which eventually lead to the altogether termination of my friendship with Michael, who was making a lot of off-the-wall accusations about me using Jeremy as a mechanism for some kind of sexual conquest or something.

Then I got the attraction, which seemed entirely random at first [since I still held on to my preconception of him a little]. I realized that his humanity [as opposed to the venomous, underweight club queen with an inferiority complex I wasted a year and some change on] was what attracted me to him. He's just really easy to get along with. He's funny as all get out and just sufficiently caustic enough to keep up with me.

The only downside to the situation is that he goes to a university that's a little over five hours from my hometown and six hours from my uni, which means that there's going to be a decision I'm not looking forward to at some point.

But I'm happy at the moment and that's what counts I think.

Not everyone awesome who crosses paths with me has to eventually become a part of some epic romance novel scenario. Sometimes I'm convinced that the powers that be keep sending amazing people my way to remind me that not everything with a p***s a predacious slutbag from Jerkface-5.

& now Mr. Fabulous Human Being is going visit me tomorrow in a very, very presentable suite. :]

That's all – ♡
