Journal E-Rock-23's Journal: Coming Back Around
Again, another far-flung entry into my Slashdot journal. And wouldn't you know it, it's just a more detailed rehash of an entry from my blog. Oh well.
So, what has good old E-Rock-23 (aka Eric) been doing since late July? Well, it's been a very odd time for me. After I wrote that entry, a few things happened. I ditched Dana, she was becoming an obsessive pain in the ass. And the next night, I ran into Liza, who was with Mike. It was then that it hit me...
I'm in love with her.
Thus began my latest escapades in the world of romance (if you can call it that). You see, Liza always saw me as something of a dog, just out to get laid. She thought I couldn't be different from that. Well, I was out to prove her wrong, and I think I've succeeded to a point.
One of the first things I did was write her a letter. To deliver it, I walked to her house at 2am and stuck it in her car's door handle. It got a great response.
A little further down the road (aka this past Monday) I got the bright idea to do the letter thing again. I did it, and this time enlisted the help of my friend Ron in delivering it. Hey, it's cold out there now, and walking in the frigid air, just to deliver a letter and catch a cold, isn't quite that bright. So, he gave me a ride to her house so I could deliver it. But he also did something else for me that night: gave me the info I needed for tickets to see A Perfect Circle...
I couldn't sleep that night, and Tuesday morning I hustled in order to get tickets. After making a small sacrifice, I managed to get two tickets to the show. So, by 10am, I had quite the day planned: Liza had by then seen and read the letter, but had no clue I had the tickets. So, when she finally called me, I told her I had a surprise for her. She came up, and I told her the story of how I came upon tickets to go see one of her favorite bands. This made her incredibly happy, let me tell you...
So now, I'm left with two more problems, but they don't have to be solved til November. These problems both involve money, unfortunately. One is getting money to be able to show her around Pittsburgh, my collegiate home, during the day of the show, and booking a room at a hotel/motel/bed and breakfast for after the show, since we'll both be tired afterwards. That might be expensive, but honestly, I don't care.
She's very close to getting rid of Mike, and has expressed a great interest in being with me for a very long time. So, in the end, this will most likely be worth the effort. I've just got to see it through, and keep up the sweet guy gestures that I've been using. She wants to know the real me. Well, she's finding out the real me, step by step.
And who is the real me? Well, the real me is a sappy, romantic teddy bear of a guy with a soft spot for love. Sick, isn't it? Ha ha ha ha...
Update: I just got off the phone with Liza. Last night, she dumped Mike. Let the fun begin
