Yowza *lol*

Alrighty, so Chris and I are supposedly boyfriend and girlfriend now. I officially told him ‘yes’ late Wednesday night (September 17, 2003) night. It was around 11:30 P.M. I am OK with this, but I have not talked to him since that night. I don’t know what to think really. I am still not sure if this is some kind of joke on me. If it is, ha ha poo poo on me for thinking for a moment that I could find a decent enough guy to consider dating.

It has been two years since the last serious boyfriend and I have been fine without a counterpart. Why should I go and ruin things now? I hate to think that I could possibly mess things up due to my own ridiculous, yet valid insecurities. Gee, did I spell that correctly? I hope so. Anyway, I am here trying to figure out what the heck is going on. I leave for San Marcos Tuesday after next.

Mom called Mark Baig (pronouced Bay . ga) yesterday and he was beyond rude. I am going to call in and have a talk with someone over his head. I am tired of him and his nonchalant attitude toward his work. Some of us don’t have time to fool around and waste their lives.

Ok, but back to Wednesday. I had just gotten off the bus coming home from the library and he was sitting down in his granfather’s washateria (hmmm sp??). He saw me and came out to talk to me. We talked for a long time. We talked about abortion (him against and me for considering circumstances), degrees of church boy-ness, the little hoodlum children riding around the neighborhood and other things. He is not as nice as I would like him to be. But I can’t go around expecting everyone to be nicey nice. I’m not. But he could use some smoothing.

Then Prestina came riding by in a big, white church van. She yelled hello and I threw up a “rock hand”. *lol* She and her cousin came back and went to the store that is on the other side of the washateria. She walked over to me and Chris while her cousin went to the store. We talked and she hit on what was going on and she didn’t even realise it. I suppose she thought we couldn’t have been talking to one another in a romatic way. Anyway, she invited us to come to her house and hang out. Well, me and I invited Chris. She did get it yesterday after I told her.

So, we walked over and sat on Prestina’s porch for a long time talking about our sex lives, boys, what kind of boys we liked (me and Prestina), singing in choirs, Prestina’s boyfriend, and what type of girl Chris should go out with. During this me and Chris smiled at each other the entire time. Well, eventually he left to go to church and I stayed a bit longer. Me and Prestina made up. We both had had enough time to let the anger melt away. I just haven’t made up with her mother. As far as she is concerned she can go frock herself. I went over to hang out for a little while on both Thursday (September 18, 2003) we watched a baby next door and chatted. On Friday (September 19, 2003) we watched a bit of porn and talked. I made sure to avoid her mom all three days.

Well, my mom is waiting on me. She came to the library and paid off my $23 fine. I lent her over a hundred dollars and I told her if she paid my fine for me we’d call it even. I thought it was over $40 at the time when I said that. It’s ok though since she will still give me money to ride the bus to the library and I can now stop being tortured by not being allowed to check out books when I come here. Everyone’s the winner.
