Once school starts back up, I'll have zero time whatsoever to work on the map. Plus, my physical training regime I'm starting won't allow for much focused work time during the summer, either. FTR, I'm doing a complete personality overhaul this summer. Time to trash the nerdy profile I've created over the past 3 years and reinstate my balls-to-the-wall attitude that got me a helluva lot more girls than I'm getting right now. Not to say that I'm a stud, but I could easily beat the competition once I get that solved next school year. I've got the brains, I've got more than enough balls (my shoe size really gets me attention...
), and all I need is the toned muscle and cocky attitude to finish it off.
Back to the other issue; One of my closest friends got all ticked off at me Saturday for accidentally making a move on his girl. Observe;
My school band went to the Worlds of Fun Music Festival in Kansas City this past Saturday. We left the school at around 6:20 local time, got up there at the park around 10:30 that same morning. Started on the rides and stuff at 11:00. Backing up a bit; I was in the same group as my friends Jake, Corbin, and Matt, and then Emily (Jake's unofficial girlfriend), Kelly (Emily's friend), and Frankie (total dingbat; she wrecked these little taxis on one of the rides). Anyway, I was hanging out mainly with Corbin, Emily, and Kelly most of the day. Around 1:00, Jake asked me to walk with him for a bit. I jogged over there, around 50 feet away from the rest of the group, and he says, "Man, I have no idea what you're trying to do, but keep them hands off Emily. I'd hate to have to hurt you." I looked at him and said, "Alright, but, I have no intention of getting with her, you know that? So, chill. You don't have any competition today from me." I totally lied to him on that part, though. The back of my mind was trying to move my hands from my pockets to Emily's ass a half-hundred feet away. FTR, she is
extremely hawt. As in, the kind of hawt where you see her walk in, your jaw drops, and you're stunned for the brief 6 seconds before you yell out "DAAAAAAAYYY-UUUUUUMMM!!!!" in front of everyone.
Anyways, I headed back over there, and everything went cool for a couple minutes. Then Emily starts hanging around me all the time, and trying to get involved in close, deep conversations. As in, deep thinker conversations communicated with your faces about 3 inches apart. So Jake starts eyeballing me, then chills for a bit, and lets it go. Then, around quarter to 5 in the evening, we head to the pizza parlor nearby and Emily asks me what time it is. Since I was the only one in the group with a watch, this had been happening all day, and I took no special notice of it. So she said, "Watchboy?" I knew what she meant and I said, "Four forty-five."
"Okay." A short silence, then, "I love you, A.J. [Childhood nickname with my first and middle initials]"
Dead silence. And out of the corner of my eye, I see Jake starting to turn red. Very, very red. But I didn't notice. My first thought was "How does she know my nickname? We've hardly even met before today..." followed by "HOT DAMN!!! SHE LOVES ME!!!". Then I noticed Jake. So did Emily, and she said "Jake, I was joking; I love him as a friend!" Jake cooled down, and when he looked away, I glanced at Emily. She winked at me, gave me the trademark mischievous smile of a teenager in heat, and I thought the "HOT DAMN!!! SHE WANTS ME!!!" thought. But, at 9:30 on the way back home, she spent the 4 hour trip literally laying in Jake's lap in the back of the bus. I sat next to them to make sure nothing happened, and as such, it didn't. Then, today, I found out that Jake had asked her out this morning, and she turned him down. They've known each other (and loved each other, I believe) for at least 2 or 3 years. So, I can come to one logical conclusion. What conclusion?
That conclusion, if you know what I mean...
