The Update for Everybody Else

I strangled a hooker, then went to Golden Corral. I hope to join the Peace Corps tomorrow.

As some of you (the IRC crew) know, I've liked this girl for a couple of months. We went to prom together as friends, she's pretty much aware how I feel, and I'm 99% sure she just sees me as a friend, which I can accept. Still, my feelings are bogging me down and probably keeping me from pursuing more...viable relationships. Should I just tell the girl how I feel and that I understand it isn't mutual so as to help let it go?

Bro, just ask her. Don't start presuming, just ask anyway and go after another girl. The biggest mistake I ever made in high school was getting hung up over a girl for two years.

That's probably the best course of action, but on the other hand I feel it could be redundant (again, my infatuation is a terribly-kept secret) and could potentially dent our friendship.

The reasoning is still correct, though I'd argue that the friendzone exists (insofar as one person rejecting another's romantic advances while establishing a platonic relationship), but is not a bad thing.

In other news, got my SAT scores in--1960!

In a nut shell, it's a millennial generation take on unrequited love. Guy develops feelings for a female friend, desires to take it to the next level but is rebuffed with "let's just stay friends." or at least a presumption that such a thing would happen.

More accurately, it's an invention designed by our blubbering, socially incompetent contemporaries to blame their inability to cope with rejection and letdown on society and trivialized versions of people instead of themselves.

More often, it's actually not rejection so much as the fear of rejection that keeps people in the so-called "friend zone". See Snowstalker's example.

It might be because I am just as (if not more) awkward as Snowstalker, but from my perspective his attitude in that situation makes perfect sense. Sure, he could go on and make his feelings known, but why should he if nothing good can possibly come from that?

To get it out of his system and be able to move on.

Precisely what I was thinking.

3-day weekend ends tomorrow. Probably a good thing (I've pretty much spent the last 3 days sleeping, watching Futurama, and writing insane political rants).

Family gathering, started Lexapro since I found out headaches weren't a side effect. It's screwed with m tolerence.

When I actually use "Bitch I might be" in a conversation" and telling IRC that "I love titties", it's time to stop drinking.

I should add that Sawx repeatedly messaged me on Facebook with messages about how he loves me (with a blurry selfie!) and how Oakvale took his keys, among other things.

I'll be in Montreal from the 7th through the 10th, hence the avatar change. This is my first trip outside the United States and Montreal is supposedly one of the greatest cities in North America, so I'm excited.

Coming home from Montreal. Loved it!

Planned to have a boy toy tonight, but I got distracted drawing yet another Michigan map. My priorities suck!

First day of school. Nothing really happened of course (first day etc), but I am very much tired.

I finally was going to ask my Homecoming date to-day at an Academic Decathalon meeting after school, only to find she was not present. Debating what to do now...

If your school's homecoming is anything like mine, don't bother.
