        Thanks for the reply. I did go through the Who, what, why, etc stage. It lasted for the duration of the madness while she was in FL. I woke up after it had all been completed (decided that we would be able to see other people) and looked around my apartment and couldn’t believe what I had been doing to MYSELF. I was fucking myself up in a big way. Angry and cold, etc! BUT that morning, I made a change. I’m not kidding!

        I thought to myself as I cleaned my apartment - ‘this is stupid! Why are you doing this to yourself? You’ve been on your own for so long and now you’re doing this to yourself over a girl?! Get on with it and move on self! Go with it and live like you’ve lived before.’ WIth that, I was a changed person. Yes I still have thoughts about her. ANd yes I still have thoughts about ‘getting back’ at her, but then I tell myself. Life is 99% what you make of it, so if you’re life sucks, you suck.

        After I think that… I feel really good about myself. I’m not going out with that girl(Hisae) anymore for the reason that she had to return to TPU to finish an Incomplete class before the end of APril. I had a great time with her while she was here and was enraptured by the 3 kisses we had. THey were absolutely incredible. Each was a simple kiss. Nothing more than lip to lips, but damn they were awesome. I don’t think I would ever have expected that type of thing to happen. I’d proably laugh if someone told me that without having experienced it personally. D it was incredible.

        Anyway, good luck with your hanging out and stuff with this girl. Did you tell me her name… I don’t remember. I only remember her last name.  I do like the title for the article. THat’s one damned nice title if I say so myself, and I do say so myself. D keep with it and believe me — THat’s exactly what I’m doing over here! I’ve been havin soooo much fun after I slapped myself adn awoke from the depressed state I was in when all the crap was going on. We get through it, we always will. It’s the way life works. Have a crazy day d-nice. ciao cito

        I guess that her reaction adds to the continuing enforcements I’ve been concluding. She really doesn’t know me. I think she’d like to believe she does. In ways se knows me, but look at the poetry thing. Am I the kind of person to “tear people apart” in public or even in private? No. I don’t want to burn the bridge, so I would just do the kind of thing I did — point out what happened and kinda put the facts about 2 inches away from their face so they can’t miss it.

        ANyway, you know what’s happening. I’ll have lots of time to go out when I get back… no worries about having to calm someone down because I’m going out to role play. You know what’s gonna happen…. at least with all these implications you can pretty much guess.  : )  Last thing about her — as you said it affected her… I’ve not heard one word from her in over 4 days. She would have had time to email me regarding the poem, but hasn’t. I’m not worrying about it though. “Life goes on, and so do we.” to quote the beatles. hehehe.

        Tell me about the song about Athos!!! I want to hear about this sucker! Doug has a way with that stuff and damn I wanna read the lyrics. Can you get a copy of them and email them to me? That would be sooo cool! I hope there is another reading next year. It’s really the only literary thing that TPU has on an (semi-)annual basis. Gotta keep it goin, just gotta.

        Could you elaborate about the ppl leaving issue? I wonder if I know who is leaving. Fill me in dude. It’ll either astonish me or be repetative…. either is cool to me.  What is up with Seth D? Have you heard from him? I just thought of him while I was typing so I threw in a seth d  quote. No rhyme or reason in my head usually. That’s a good thing. Hope to hear from you NOW! Yesssss! NOW! Write back to me dude! ciao cito Ramses
