Sicilian Boy Wonder and I (refer back to November's posts,) had a four hour conversation last night... this morning. Not to be forgotten, I also had another wonderful four hour conversation with SBS, mostly about women, respect, and the usual topic of late, the Church. Sicilian Boy though... he confuses me. We both are smart people, he's studying biology to become a doctor, and most of you know I want to get my doctorate in psychology... but our conversations are lacking... in anything educational. We flirt, I tease him constantly about stealing him away from Mandy, who "stole him away from me," we talk about how conservative we both are - how we always listened to our parents and how we never were bad, and we tell each other things the other person didn't know. (I paint, he's an avid novel reader.) This nothingness takes up four hours of somethingness. Even his girlfriend had gotten offline and we were still on for another hour just going back and forth. Usually, in the middle of the conversation there is the "When are we going to see each other in person?" conversation. He said last night that we should forever have an online relationship and never see each other in person. (At XU, that is highly impossible, and last semester it was only made possible because I rarely went to the library where he lives.) This semester we have a class together, so it won't happen that way. I just don't know what he's afraid of. Teasing him, I said that he must be afraid that seeing me in person would remind him of just how awesome, and hott and sexy I am... and he would be whisked away by me. His answer? "Hmm... maybe." (AH! Men.) In a week I have class with him. We will see who ignores who.

I'm closing the store every night this week. Thursday is my last day... then Saturday I go back to school. I don't understand why they waited until the last week to have me close, they are going to waste time tonight teaching me how to "close," and I'm going to waste time the next three nights trying to remember how to do it myself. I'm frustrated beyond belief.

More later.
