Such recalcitrance...

Hey wow, it's been a while. Since the last post I have concluded that the aformentioned Cathy is truly nuerotic and possesses very little sanity. I know dislike her immensly. I have also been to New York City. That was an amazing experience, and if you ever get the chance to go, take it with gusto. I went to New York with my friends Tony and Randy. We decided on a Sunday to leave on that Wednesday, and managed to accumulate approximatly 750 dollars before we left. Yes, that is 750 dollars in 2 days. I'm still not entirely sure how we managed that, but because we did we are now better than you! Told you I am an elitist. Anyways, we went because my friend Melly's band was going there for their trip. We figure, "hey, since that's where those busses are going, we'll just follow them!" Good plan, right? It was. Until they stopped us and told us not to follow them anymore. That was somewhat embarassing, but in the end it was alright. We took off on our own and managed to arrive in NYC about 12 hours before the recalcitrant busses. HA! While we were there, we stayed in a hostel (sort of like a dorm, for more info check out http://www.hostels.com) right next to Central Park. We met so many intruiging people at the hostel that I was in intellectual heaven for the entirty of our stay. I visited the museums, and the Guggenheim is shit. There was a canvas painted white (yes, just white, nothing else) and a bicycle seat with a strip of blue tape down the middle featured at this "museum." Would you consider that art? Nor would I. The Metropolitan Museum of Art was absolutely amazing, however. I won't spoil this one for you, but I will say that it should be on everyones list of things to do before they die. Another fun thing we did was lose 5 other people in Times Square. Not only did we lose them, but 3 of them were German and 2 were Australian. That was interesting. Of course, all of us had been drinking (heavily) so that may have been some excuse. They all managed to get back to the hostel, so I was happy. We played frisbee in Central Park, went to the World Trade Center site, checked out Greenwich and East villages, haggled in China Town, and had an all around blast. Again, take any opportunity to go to New York you can. And don't let not having money stop you. We got enough. Stay in a hostel (they're cheap) and ride the subway (it's not as bad as people say). It'll be worth it. Trust me. With that story out of the way....

Since returning to my shitty hometown, I have developed an attraction to this girl. Unfortunately, I am torn between starting a relationship with her or remaining friends. You see, I am moving to Fargo, ND in the fall, and I don't want to just have a summer fling. Gah! What to do, what to do? This is really hard for me, because I generally know just what to do in any given situation! If someone else told me this problem, I would tell them to just stay friends. At the same time, I still want to pursue it and make the best of the time I have left. Oh well, I'll figure it out. Looking at it now, I think part of the reason I don't pursue it is the fact that I am totally unaware of her feelings for me. Sometimes it seems like she's interested, but other times it seems as though she could care less for me. Stupid hyper-analytical personality of mine. Things will work out. They always do. At least, for me. =D
