Deeds and memes.

Well, as of a couple of hours ago, I finished my good deeds for the week and phoned up Pearl. Today's her birthday, you see, and I give her my annual phone call today. I can honestly say that this year was better than my call last year since this time she was actually home and I didn't have to talk to her Englishly challenged mother. We didn't chat that much, since I had woke her up, something that tends to happen when I give my exes a ring (this also happened when I called up Miwako on her birthday, earlier this week). Since she was so sleepy, I told her that I'd phone her up in a couple of days, most likely later in the day so I could talk to her in a more concrete state.

Had she been awake, I doubt that we'd have that much to say. For the last week, we've been emailing each other quite a bit; an email per day. It's like the old days, brain picking with a dash of inuendo. It's good to know that she's still the same person, inspite of the fact that she's getting married.

Tangently, I've shamelessly stolen another meme from Heather. Shameless, I tell you!

1. Reply with your name and I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll pick a flavor of jello to wrestle with you in.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal. Unless I got it from your journal, or you've already posted it on your journal.

I usually don't do this, but I'm up for the interaction. Indulge me, once again. This, I command.

1) Mike once killed a bear with his bare hands. He's a crazy mother fucker, that one.

2) Gross Point Blank

3)This is the reason why I don't often do these silly memes. I think that someone, somewhere used this question as a passive aggressive way to ask someone that they liked if they wanted to fight in food stuff.

4) Bashing your head against the door in elementary school.

5) That's a toughie. Can I say the time I got the giggles when you were running for school president? I'm surprised you forgave me for that. Tee hee!

6) The wombat. Remember those books you owned?

7) How much did I change? It's hard to figure it out when you're in the middle of it all, you know?

I think what made me go through the change was the fact that I was surrounded with intelligent people who spoke their minds more often than what I was used to. That, and the fact I felt people were actually interested in what I had to say and what I thought about things. I didn't have that in FSJ that often. Plus, it was a lot of hard work and I was pretty burnt out after it. Plus, there's the whole being away from your parents for the first time. I remember when I came back, being all full of this love that my friends gave me and I remembered how bewildered my mom was. Plus, it made me more open about sex, which was pretty cloistered at home, you know? I met this Chinese girl called Rita there who I had a little bit of a crush on. Until then, I had never met a woman who was so upfront with her sexual desires and her sexuality.

Or, it could boil down to the fact that I lived a more authentic life without worrying what other people thought, which I had done more so in the past. I really can't pin point it on any one thing.

7) Do you regret breaking up with Michelle the way that you did? i know that if one my girlfriends broke up with me and started to date you Stephen or Anson, I'd be pretty fucking choked, especially if I found out that she had a crush on one of them for ages.

When you put it that way, it does sound rather harsh. But honestly we were broken up for months before I did anything. I mean, I know that's a cop-out answer but it's true. I found out afterwards that she was still hoping for reconciliation. The best way I could EVER explain my feelings of the situation are in this comic I did.

I feel bad about the situation, and I did love her, unaquivocably. But our time ran out and ultimately it just wasn't meant to be. And I can't describe the amount of ways my current relationship just feels "right". Like Really just... right. I feel bad, but I wouldn't give up what I have right now or may have in the future with this for all the fucking money in the world.

I hope you don't think less of me because of the situation.

Nah, of course not. You're still on the level, as far as I'm concerned.
