[58 in :: 196 out]
Well a number of miscellaneous things happened to me today.
I started my drawing of Chilly Chan’Oobi before church, and got a good portion of it done. I was surprised at how well I was able to draw the human-like character. I am normally unable to get features into a figure that allow it to resemble a person. I finished it up after church, and put color to it, as well as wrote a name in another language for it using symbolic symbols. It looks pretty close to how I had imagined. It also makes me want to create another character or more. I would have to base them on my friends at ETBU though.
Anyway, church was today. So, I got at least two things out of it: a direction for my novel, and the memory of Sarah G & the Bible studies I went to.
The pastor mentioned something about what an intelligent being’s perspective would be on the people of this planet, as positioned as a third-party observer…the observation: the world is in too big a hurry and the people are wasting their lives running about for the things of this world. That inspired me to have the civilization in my novel to allow things to happen in their own time (as the King says in “Anna and the King”).
As for Sarah G…well, that is her loss. If she would have only called me, or written back, she would have know that I was waiting. Or perhaps, and most likely, she didn’t care to pursue a relationship with me. It’s ok though. I did, at least, spark her interest to find people and try to date them. I think that perhaps I showed her how to start a relationship. It’s ironic though… she was an experiment on how to ask a girl. I liked her, but had not known how to initiate a relationship – everything else, but that, I was prepared for. So I gave it a shot, and if it i worked, great; if not, regroup and move on. I have learned a lot from my many girl-friends on how they wish their boyfriends would treat them, and what they wish a guy they liked would do. I will expand on that briefly…
In general, the girls want their guy-interest to basically read their mind, or at least their subtle hints, and take initiative and ask them.
In general, the guy doesn’t want to look foolish (at least not the self-respecting guy) and ruin a friendship already in place by asking a girl he thinks is flirting. For all the stubborn guy knows, she could just be a friendly girl.
So in both cases, the person with the interest should ask the other. I have polled guys – they would not mind if a girl asked. I have polled girls – they would like to know if a guy likes them… ASK! Every one’s just too scared to be rejected, or to reject. *sigh* People will never learn, not until they try.
Ok, so…on a sentimental note…My mom gave me a book of recipes that she has been using for a long time. She titled it “Mom’s Tried and True Recipes.” It was very touching. So I filled out a couple more recipes into it, because she hadn’t finished it yet. I really like it.
And now, on a moot note. I did not go driving today. My stepdad thinks I am going to kill him in the car. Why would I do that? That would put my life at risk too. It is a ridiculous way to teach me to drive…by not driving! And reading the book – that doesn’t help. I already know what to do on the road, I just need to learn to do it. When I got my computer, I didn’t read the book on how to work Windows XP, I just did it. I learned more as I went. Now, yes, I crashed it, but I put it back together. I’m sorry to say that I can’t put a car back together. But as long as I’m not driving, it is not helping me get better at it.
Well, we watched Shawshank Redemption, Tombstone, and Music Man tonight. Three great movies. I learned form Music Man that any girl would do, I didn’t have to have one I have dated before. Time to move on and realize that before the past, there was the present. I didn’t know what that future held, but I do now, and I have a new future in front of me. (It had nothing to do with the Music Man, just Matthew Broderick and the Reese Witherspoon dead-ringer). Laterz.
