Posting the morning after because it was LATE when I got done with what I got up to.

Let’s start from before that though. I mentioned that I met someone from my film class last time, and yesterday after class I just went straight to them and tried talking to them for real. They’re really cool! A fun, bubbly, quick-witted feller. They also have the same strange headache as me, contained to one side and irritating that side’s eye.

I also found out that I already knew them, for years in fact, but only superficially. I followed their art instagram account for maybe 4 years before my account got hacked :o small world indeed

But yeah that was a cool person to meet, we both also met another random person in the line at a restaurant who started talking to us when i told them my hometown had segregated high schools for the longest time. ANYWAY

They both left for the weekend, and I just kinda chilled out. I was gonna hang out with my bumble fwb, but they cancelled and said they wouldn’t be able to for a few days. Not that I’d’ve been able to get over there, more on that later.

Instead, there was another one, one that I’d gotten more attached to, that lived on campus right near me, so I asked about hanging out today. And while they said yes, there kept being setbacks, to the tune of being sick, or being nervous. I took a chance for the outrageous and searched their entire dorm building until i found their room, and knocked. That got them to let me in, both to their room, and from the results of that night, their heart.

That sounds like an obsurd maneuver, but it worked out, and it was following some advice I got from my Spanish teacher earlier this year: If someone’s gonna tell you no, make them say it to your face. I wasn’t gonna keep persisting if I got all the way there and got told no, that would’ve been the end of the story, obviously; but when you’re face-to-face, and you’re not some bigshot orator or something, you’re much more compelled to tell how you really feel. And I could tell from that night that they seemed glad I came, as well as quite tired because it was like 11 at night. We watched some youtube videos, did [REDACTED], chatted, hugged, and just generally hung out. Not quite picturresk, but definitely more than I could’ve asked for.

That’s the end of the day, but not the end of what I wanna say.

While waiting, I just kinda hung around outside; I took a nap on the side of a pillar, and just took in everything around me for a bit. After that, I thought I might go for a drive, get some gas or some essentialsNO. My car is GONE. I don’t think I parked anywhere illegal, so it’s either stolen or a false charge. I’m gonna take it up with the parking cops later.

And for today? Idk yet. I WOULDVE been going apartment hunting today, but that’s either gonna be on foot now, or completely called off.
