It’s really not all THAT complicated…

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

It’s so completely non-officially official.  I’m a complicated person.

Moreso my relationship status is of a complicated nature.

So… shall I begin from the beginning?

Y’all remember Camera Guy right?

So it’s him.

As in all his fault.

As in… yeah I like him :P

It started out as a weekly meet-up… which somehow ALWAYS involved wings & beer.  Randomly the once-a-week meeting (Which was normally Saturday evening after he was done work until Sunday morning when he had to putter his way back to work on this absurdity of an e-bike… I’ve always, and always will, tease him about it) suddenly shot forward to about 3-4 days a week of meeting up.

About the 3 week mark I think is when “everything changed.”

Suddenly it went from meeting once a week for wings, to meeting 3-4 times a week for… wings. And beer. And other food stuffs.  The weekend visits became full weekends (with him working peppered in between) and also random pick-ups from his work with the ruse of it being too cold/windy/rainy to ride said absurdity of an e-bike home.

He’s made his intentions quite clear in that he wants an exclusive “only you and me” relationship.

I’ve made my life situation quite clear in that “I’m just not ready for one of those yet!” and that I hate getting pushed (or pulled :P ) into things that I’m clearly not ready for yet.

Then there’s the complicated part. Because labels are what make things complicated.  Everyone needs labels so this is how it’s currently defined.

To his friends who are more old-fashioned and/or uptight: I’m his girlfriend.
To his friends who are more hip & “with it” (heh): I’m his female friend whom he sleeps with occassionally.
To his parents: I’m his girlfriend.

To my friends who all know my nature & personality: He’s camera guy :P
To my parents: “So how many boyfriends do you have now anyways?” :P ~

So while I rely on face book to tell me EVERYTHING… facebook lists us both as single.  And he’s doing the nudging thing to move further into a relationship-like thing.  So I tell him “until it’s on facebook it doesn’t exist.” His immediate response of “So I’ll just log into facebook as soon as I get into work?”  And we… negotiated our relationship status…

Sort of.

I told him I would give him an “It’s complicated” but nothing more right now. To which he accepted because… he knew that was the best offer I was going to give him :P   And Monday morning I made the switch on the FB relationship status as “It’s complicated”, which was accepted within… minutes?  And with that comes the nudging at “So how long are we going to be complicated for before you finally give in?”

Really, can y’all hear me roll my eyes?? :P

Confused??

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

I got this e-mail the other day… and I’m not really sure what to make of it.

And since they decided to pass judgement on me based on a personal blog where I’m free to write about what ever I want… I figured the best course of action would be to post it on here as well for lack of anything better to do.

Angela,

I stumbled on your blog (Spoiled Chinese Girl) the other day and was struck by (1) the acuteness of your intelligence and (2) the self-contradictory nature of your personality. It’s as if you refuse to believe that beauty and nobility exist (or at least that they’re inaccessible to you) and so you settle for ugliness and ephemera instead. Hence the contradictions.

Anyway, I realize that this is complete cheek and that it’s none of my business whatsoever but it just depressed me that someone with your manifest talents and (unacknowledged) aspirations towards a higher world should think that she’s just shit.

You’re not, my dear, and so don’t act as if you are.

Bye,

Lloyd
