blech.

just going to put it out there that having dinner at midnight is so not all it's cracked up to be. especially when you have to come home to do more work. and, oh look, it's 12:41am and I wanted to read half of rousseau's book I and finish reading & taking notes on this 25-page anthropology reading (only because I did the other two 14-page readings last night, of course). oh and did I happen to mention that lovely meeting with my advisor that I have tomorrow morning at 11am? so hopefully I'll be in bed by 2am (only 4 pages of this anthro reading left!) to wake up at 10am. if not, it's another night of 7 hours of sleep. manageable, but not enough according to my psych professor.

so the other night while dan was home I met his ex (!). I know, shocker of all shocks! so not only does this girl cause some drama about me coming along (mind you, she wasn't even supposed to be there) she awkwardly doesn't give dan a hug at the end of the night, nor does she introduce herself to me or say goodbye. oh and this process happens again on sunday to something that she really wasn't even invited to and showed up late to...a little rude.

just funny because I've been buggin' about this girl for how long and she is so not a threat at all. I didn't even feel myself being extra show-offy to get in her face (okay maybe I showed off that me and dan were in a relationship a little, but ONLY a little I swear!). it's just so interesting that expectations & reality didn't collide at all -- I didn't feel threatened or nervous, I was comfortable and myself. I was glad to be in my shoes. granted, I also know that both people cannot be comfortable at the same time when there's an awkward situation, so the best way to intimidate anyone else is to just have fun, be cool and be yourself. if you're confident, they can't be.
