Finished off everything in my semester today, so I'm doing much better mentally and emotionally than before! How about you? (BRB - grabbing a late dinner. Keep talking.)

i'm pretty good. i have a final tomorrow, but it won't affect my grade, so it's all good. and i treated myself today. got myself a mani/pedi and the vocal selections to "songs for a new world".

plus, i already know my grades in all but one of my classes, and i am doing well.

glad to hear you're doing better.

I'm back! Why won't your final tomorrow matter? I'm so keen to know my grades now. This is the worst part - the waiting in hot anticipation. I've gotten back 3 final marks out of 5 and I'm doing well, but these last 2 courses are the ones I'm worried about. *cold sweat*

Oh, and woman, I may really need your help for those goddamn logic games problems later for the LSAT!

sorry it took so long for me to reply. i got distracted by other websites (yes, i do go to OTHER sites). the final won't matter because i already have an A+ in that class.

I've only heard a couple of songs from SFANW, though I want to get the vocal selection for "Stars and the Moon" to use as an audition piece. I'm more interested in TL5Y, though.

i love stars and the moon. I'm actually learning that and i'm not afraid of anything. tl5y is awesome as well. i have those vocal selections, as well as the cast recording. norbert is WONDERFUL in it.

Dude, seriously. I think anyone that has ANY doubts about Norbert (do these people exist?) need to listen to TL5Y cast recording... more specifically "If I Didn't Believe In You" - I cry almost every time I listen to that song. It's done so beautifully and both he and Sherie put so much emotion behind each song on that CD. It amazes me to no end.

i know exactly what you mean. it's actually almost gross how many people i've burned that cd for.

Okay, minor-ish problem here. There's this guy named Raf (otherwise known as The Paraplegic Date From Hell). He will NOT stop phoning me. We both mingle in the same group of 8 friends, and I was introduced to the group of 6 by one of my friends. So I'm like, an adder-onner. Anyway, in this group is Raf's ex-girlfriend - they dated and broke up long before I joined the gang so I'm aware of their history but pretty much indifferent to whatever went down, but I know there's some awkwardness between them.

Anyway, he seems to have a thing for Asian girls, and will not stop contacting me. Ever since we met in April, he keeps phoning, text msging, emailing me persistently. He says himself that his two "best" qualities are his patience and his persistence. His ex-gf told me the only reason they went out was because he kept harrassing - er, pursuing - her and she finally gave in even though she wasn't into it.

I kept avoiding him and inviting people along every time he tried to plan "alone" outings with me. Finally, my friend told me to go on one date with him, satisfy his curiousity (I only saw him socially maybe once or twice a month), which led to The Infamous Date From Hell.

And did it stop his curiousity? Nope. Made things worse.

Thing is when we're out of contact for a month or so, he won't call or email. And it's nice. I only want to see him in a group setting. But when I throw him a bone and I, like, acknowledge him even, he's all over it again.

I don't think I'm hot **** at all - I think he's desperate, likes the challenge and now that his ex is dating the brother of one of our other friends (ironically, another girl he used to pursue before his ex), he's really scrambling. He's phoning again (5 times in the last 24 hours, plus 2 times I didn't answer), emailed me angrily when I didn't return his calls, accuses me of blowing him off - YET DOESN'T GIVE UP!!

WHAT THE F*CK SHOULD I DO??? It's beyond just being a humorous nuisance that I can laugh and joke around with my friends - it's obnoxious and more than borderline creepy! I would tell him right off but since we're both in the same circle, it would make things really awkward. GARGH! HELP!

Um, you know... personally if I were in your shoes I'd report him to the police as harassing and stalking you. Seriously. I don't care if he's in this little group of friends, that's just creepy and I wouldn't be able to handle that at all. Either that or you should email him back and be like "TAKE A FREAKIN' HINT, DUDE."

See, the problem is he hasn't harrassed me in the sense of being violent or perverted or abusive. Which of course, I KNOW doesn't make it okay, I just think he's harmless - I don't think he's going to attack me or anything. But I mean, take a freakin' hint, RIGHT??

[broadway_star_tomorrow]

the first thing is to flat out tell him to leave you alone.

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 12/18/04 at 4:45am

I know. I know. It's just a lot easier said than done. Why is it none of the quality men call around so frequently, and all the bums are much too readily available???

because








all the good ones are taken.

on a side note, i had every intention of being asleep at 1130

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 12/18/04 at 4:55am

Oh, honey I had every intention of going to bed at the same time as you (11:30pmPST). That turned out well, didn't it?

How's everything else going with you? You seem really chill for your final! What's the subject?

[broadway_star_tomorrow]

Nonverbal communication...which isn't quite as much of a bull**** class as it sounds like. I just worked my ass off for the first 10 weeks of the quarter.

things are pretty good, can't complain.

ACK! My professor emailed me. Psychobiology grades are posted. This is the one class I am worried about. Must go check.
