Emotional Bank! I was going to write an entry all about that, but I think my Dear Friend can figure out what I would have said. If she doesn't, then she knows how to get a hold of me.
Hazel and are comming up on our 8 month anniversary since we began to date. If you weren't aware, it's apparently a Utah tradition that you date for 2 months and then get ingaged. Mind you that I've lived in Utah for pretty much my whole life, so you might find it a little odd for me to say "apparently". (You'd think that I've figured out my own culture by now.)
Going to school, walking up and down The Hill, I pass friends that live near me all the time. When I see them walking towards me every now and then I can catch a little glimmer in their eye, and that's when I know it's going to come, "Are Hazel and you going to get married?" I will usually have fun with them and answer their question in such an answer that it's neither a yes or a no, sometimes they even need to stop and review the question in their head as to their original question.
This has been going on since about our 2 month mark. (Thus the "apparently" comes into play.) So now, after 6 months of this I'm growing more and more desierous to throw them for an even bigger loop than they've gotten used to.
Unfortunatly Hazel won't let me tell them that we're actually going to break up. (That would have a whole new bit of fun all it's own. I'd be interested to see how quickly the gossip spred before it got back to me . . . I bet it would be back to me in less than 24 hours.)
Also unfortunatly, I'm too nice to look them in the eye and very sarcasticly say "You know, we weren't going to tell anybody for a while, but since you and I only talk once a month that must mean we're the very closest of friends . . . " (Somehow it escapes them that if we were going to get married they would hear it from their neighbor long before they heard it from myself.)
. . . ok, I guess I'm done with my venting. . . .
Maybe I'll end up doing one of those anyways, I'll let you know how it all goes :)
