Illness, Women, SEC Championship & UG@ Basketball (pretty random!)

STUDIO 48 – I’m feeling somewhat better today. My breathing is almost back to normal and my body aches are tolerable. I’m grossing fewer people out with my drippy nose—and that is always good. Who knows, maybe I’ll be 100% by this weekend!

Alli$on and I had the ‘ole DTR (define the relationship) last night. We both are kinda in the same place... enjoying each other’s companionship, but not really having strong enough feelings to prompt us to commit to anything other than a close friendship. I think it will be nice not wondering about our relationship anymore. I won’t say we broke up because we were never really dating. I’m encountering relationships such as this more and more: girls that I try to date--but have zero romantic feelings for--but try to force things because the girl is just so perfect that I just assume that the feelings will come in time. Needless to say, I have made some incredible friendships over the last year, but I’m ready for something more.
I know very little about relationships, but I do know that it is never best to keep feelings to yourself. If the other person doesn’t know how you feel, then they will certainly not respond to it. Sure, they might rip your heart out, but the suffering you put yourself through by keeping your feelings bottled up to yourself is much worse than anything they might do to you. Rejection sucks either way. But it is better to have given it a chance and to have been shot down then to wonder about what might have been. I think I’m most comfortable being single and I used to be completely content being single. But those feelings are starting to change......
I’ll keep praying and being patient.

In lighter news...
The SEC Championship Game is only four days away. I promised myself that I wouldn’t get all excited and make a fool of myself, but I can tell already that I’m not going to make it. I really want to win this one. Going to tomorrow’s RCB rehearsal will only make my frenzy grow. Practice will be tough this week and rightfully so... We do have to compete with the G-lden B-nd from T-gerland and they are (pardon my redneckness) dern good. Memories from the utter embarrassment of two years ago are still oddly fresh in my mind and I’d love to reciprocate them to L$U. We shall see

Tonight is the first home men’s (boy’s?) basketball game. I’m very interested to see how this team shapes up. There is no way they will be as bad as last year. Basketball band promises to be a blast (again) with Mr. K-ck at the helm. He is assimilating to Georgia quite nicely.

More to come...
