I bought the new Ani album today. Listened to the first disc twice and am now on the second disk. I definitely do recognize the new songs from the concert she gave at Smith last Spring.
I met Sarah (the girl from the last post) today. She said if i ever want to get together for coffee sometime that would be great. I definitely plan to take her up on that at some point during the semester. I regret that i never took Emilie up on her offer last fall.
Layna finds some of my posters creepy. She thought it was cute when i tried to defend my posters (downplay their creepiness, point out that non-creepy ones, etc.). I said i just felt bad that my room wasn’t Layna-friendly. She said that i give good hugs, so she’ll come to my room anyway. :)
For anyone who’s been following my drama (though i actually haven’t been posting much about it), things between me and Joe are all good.
Joe had an away message up and i left him an IM saying:“I know you're not speaking to me (for whatever reason/s) but i thought i'd let you know (though i'm sure you already knew) that Ani's new live double CD came out today.” Yeah, i knew i sounded bitchy, but i’ve been back a week and hadn’t heard from him in i couldn’t remember how long. So later he IMs:
Joe: hey - it's not that I'm not speaking to you....
me: I know, i know, you're busy.
Joe: I've been so busy and irritable I thought it best not to just vent to you....
Joe: and I knew that's what it would end up
me: Aw, thank you. Now i feel bad for being pissy.
Joe: it's not a big deal - things are getting better so I'll have time again soon
Joe: :-)
Some of you may remember last year when basically fall semester our interactions consisted of him IMing me and venting about stuff, and i did the supportive friend thing, until like 2 in the morning, even though i got up at least an hour earlier than he did every day. A little before Christmas break i called him on it, and we had a really important conversation and things were much better. So i knew he was referring to our issues of last fall. Anyway, today we had a nice brief little chat and then:
me: (And you know you can always vent to me, though i really appreciate that you don't wanna just vent at me.)
Joe: I know
Joe: I just didn't want a repeat of last year's problem
Joe: I've come to respect you too much for that
me: Awwww.
<---- is WAY touched.
I love you so much.
Joe: awww
Joe: love you too :-)
Joe: of course
me: Now i feel horrible for being all "Joe's ignoring me, blah blah blah."
Joe: it's all good
Joe: I should have let you know why I've been distant
Joe: so it's partially my fault
Joe: mostly my fault
Joe: haha
me: Well this is true.
I was bitching to Joan last night and she said, “So, what are his [Joe’s] redeeming qualities?” I had to laugh because i do adore him, but of course she only hears about him when i’m bitching. I think i did a fair job of listing his redeeming qualities, but it’s definitely conversations like this that really reaffirm my adoration.
