Welp…boring day at work. Except for one slip of the tongue on Tom’s part. Now I have taken it as him joking with me to see what happens, but he said “ole girl wants to hook up with you.” However, he won’t tell me who, so I am not going to worry about it. Any girl should know (or at least that has been one of my objectives when I talk to them about relationships) that if they want a guy, they usually just have to ask. A guy can’t read their mind, and a girl shouldn’t assume that he is picking up on her flirtatious hints. I, for one, have given up on thinking that ever “nice” girl is flirting with me. Therefore, to me, a girl being friendly, even if she is thinking that she is being over-friendly, is just being friendly to me. She must approach me and tell me flat out.
Anyway…this could be any number of people, or no one at all. Jackie worked today, so it could(n’t) be her. He may also have found out about Amanda and I, but he may not. Or he may just be trying to find out who I like, if I had dropped names. But I think he just wanted to see if I would react like most people, and preoccupy my whole day with who it might be.
So, on another note…The Spot. I have re-designed it. (I know, that is one of my bad habits.) The site hasn’t even been released, much less created, and I am already re-structuring it. But this design is much cooler, and way more difficult to turn into a web page. But that is what I like…a challenge in computer programming.
This new design will require me to put Fireworks MX back on my computer, so that I can deal with all the curves. I am going to have to draw up a big version and a table overlay so I can get the text in the right spots, and the images in the right spot.
I am combining a lot of techniques into the design…my newspaper layouts, etbustudents.cc IQX2 version, Benji’s webpage, register.etbu.edu, msn, the HP + commercial, and a futuristic curvature, and the unreleased/un-publicized etbui (the underground-online newspaper for etbu).
This site will be the first development for the internet for my company. It started with the name Autumn Softworks (for calculator software), then to Illumen Softworks (for computer hardware and software) now called Illumen Webware (for designing Internet Software that allows you to do more with the internet than before). However, to fulfill the meaning of the name, the company has a long way to go.
Perhaps I will get to actually program all the instant messenger clients into this website, where as I never got past a forum creation before encountering problems with etbu’s *wonderful* internet connection/network setup. No matter now, I am not on there anymore, and now have to deal with dial-up. Poop. I would have to think long and hard to decide which one I would prefer. But I have plenty of time to do that.
I didn’t call Jay like I had planned. I called the phone company (the line was busy…how ironic), and the electric company (that line was also busy). But actually I just forgot until it was too late for me to call. I looked up some apartments in Waco near TSTC, but I will have to go by them and see which ones I would actually like to live in before I called to find a price. I would rather move closer to Baylor, then I could hang out with Valerie more, and meet some people there. But hey…I can meet people at TSTC, maybe…although they don’t go to college to be social and make friends, I don’t suppose.
I dunno…we’ll see. That’s all for tonight. I guess I will plan to call Jay and Valerie tomorrow. Laterz.

At school, I could just jump online and start talking to someone, or stroll over to Linebery Lobby and see what’s going on there. Not here at home. I stroll on over to bed and dream about what is going on over there. *sigh*

2007:
As it turns out, I don’t think I ever found out who liked me. But I believe it was probably just nothing. I already knew how Amanda felt, and I got a picture of her before I left. I also got a picture of another new girl before I left too. Oh well – it’s not like it would have mattered much – I didn’t keep in touch with hardly anyone from Hubbard after I left.
As I look back now on the “plans” and lingo I used for referring to my website – it’s what a n00bie says to sound important. These days, if it’s hard, it’s because I’m learning something new…otherwise I either do it, or don’t because I’m lazy.
And towards the end there, my parents had told me that people at technical schools are all “serious” and stuff…not social. However, having been on “the outside” for a while now, I know that’s not the case. Sure they don’t live on campus, but they’re not going to avoid talking to you, and making friends. I think my parents, or at least my stepdad liked to fill us with his version of the world, so that we’d stay out of trouble and stuff, whether it was accurate or not. And his desire to do that is understandable and admirable…but there comes a point in life where lying about the real world does more harm than good if you’re about to send your kid out into it.
