10:32 a.m. @ Skokie...

So I think I'm going to attempt volleyball tonight... We'll see how that goes.

Anyway, I'm in class right now, and having finished the first test half-an-hour early, I am updating the world on my boring life. (To make it less boring, I will tell you that I misspelled 'boring' as 'broing' a second ago... Man, am I broing.)

I was walking through the halls of the Skokie campus just 10 minutes ago and all these thoughts of Ingrid came fluttering in. Maybe it was that girl I saw sitting at the end of the hall who looked just like her, but I also remembered that she had said she was going to this campus this past spring. I don't know if she is taking summer courses (I imagine she would considering she started a semester late), but she said she wanted to transfer to Hope College sometime soon.

We had an odd little relationship (the few months it existed) where she would push my patience with her to the point where she would have to apologize and tell me she does it to see if I'll stick around with her. I did, and then she stopped calling. Its very similar to the shit that Steve pulls everyday. Only he doesn't apologize. He will irritate me to no end for no apparent reason, and when I call him out on it, he shrugs it off and says 'thats how we are.'

"WE'RE MARRIED." I heard him say last night interrupting a comment I was making about the way we work.

Nonetheless, Ingrid Iiiiiiii just realized is a name you know nothing of. Well, actually, you do know of her, just not by name. I mentioned her in this post towards the bottom. She had a small role as the "sound girl" in "American Dughter" and we didn't really start talking until the run actually started and then we hung out a lot towards the end of the run. Things kinda snowballed between us and I saw myself getting involved with her...

...

As usual, the only problem was that the girl didn't. She abruptly ended communication and I was left at a loss because all signs pointed in an opposite direction from where I saw things. I still talk to some of her friends, but she never really returned any of my messages, so things just... ended.

She really was special to me. No, not in the 'I'm going to pine for her' way, but she was the first girl I got involved with post-Erin, and that was huge for me... Well... it would be huge for me if I weren't such a fucking eunuch... Sorry...

When she came to 'Midsummers' and saw me and Travis afterwards, she leaped into his arms and acted as though she had been waiting for that moment for months. Travis is a guy who she was, at best, mildly warm towards. So what happened when she saw me? A fadeaway-jerk hug... Man, I hate those. I ask myself if I could see a scenario in which we could begin hanging out again. My answer to that is that it would depend heavily on our mutual friends. If I were to hang out with her again, it would have to be because Joe (not E.J. because that just isn't his style) wanted us to patch things up. Joe and Ingrid were like sisters, so I can only assume they still talk. Nonetheless, I'll talk to Joe soon enough.

Anyway... Yeah, so Ingrid flew into my head and it was momentarily painful.

Wait. What?

Now Playing: Hmph... Wow. Nothing.
