Entry 11

Fixed the internets! Woot!
Had a series of chess games with LO again. She won close to handily, but was much trickier with revealed attacks this time. I was actually up in pieces during game two, but ended up losing due to bad positioning. Then some poor chap decided to try his hand real quick, she disposed of him without looking at the board for most it it. But I can tell I'm a distraction for her, which I guess is a good sign for me?
At one point she tried to act all suave and made a particularly strong move, so she leaned back in her to chat while the other guy freaked out but instead of being smooth about it, she ended up smacking her head on the wall. I laughed, and so did she, so it worked out.

While we were playing, I kept getting sidetracked by the conversations around us, specifically the very "high thought" English discussion going on behind me. I tried to not laugh as this teacher insisted on free-composing a poem on snow because Kirksville "just makes one dreary and need composition to keep the heart aloof." THIS is why I'm not an English major, because you can't have a single teacher that wasn't dosed out on acid for years at a time. I actually had to correct him on the town's landscape though, and to direct him to Reinhart's and the WTB store. Annoying chap.

No DnD tonight, but I walked with the girl back to her room, saw where she lived etc. She actually invited me to come in and watch MASH with her for a bit, but I declined. I do have stuff to do, but I was more nervous than anything. We talked for a bit longer and then I departed back here and fixed the internet.

And as nice as the whole thing is, I'm not sure I want it because of her, or because I want someone. And if it's the latter, eventually it's going to wear off and she's going to end up hurt. So I'm both nervous because, well, she's a girl and because I don't want to start this if it isn't right.  

Much to think about,
Angel
