Forced Serendipity

Yesterday, I woke up and said to myself: "I am not going to see Justin today." Not as a general comment, but more as a daily resolution. Since the both of us have been back, we've spent a lot of time with eachother -- which is great, don't get me wrong. If it was my choice, we'd spend more time together. It's been so nice to see him, and we've definitely taken advantage of the fact that this has been the first week of school and that it's only going to get busier from here. Later on, we go days without communicating ... and that's cool with me. When we have our own shit to do, cool, do it. People don't need to always be surrounded by each other ... although it IS nice. :-D All in all, I thought it best if I made a consious attempt to not cling to his presence.

But anyways, continuing on.

I had to go to Westwood yesterday to pick up a reader for a class and run some errands. While I was down there I thought, "Oh! Justin is getting out of school at 1215 from Bunche Hall. I should go meet him!" But immediately, I stopped myself from continuing the thought -- "THE RESOLUTION, SUSANNE! He'll think you're CREEPY!" So I continued on my errand business. And then I realized: I DID in fact need to go to that VERY building. I needed to take care of some academic administration that day. But still... must not see Justin.

And I get up there, and I think .... I'm going to wait for Justin. Haha. Oh, it only goes downhill from here.

I run into my friends Jack and we get a talking, and then I see Justin, and say to Jack, "gotta go! Justin! must catch up to him!"

And I ran. Panting, I frightened him. I also run very loudly. Yeah, I don't have indian blood in me at all. I sound like Link with his metal boots on. Seriously.

I told him how I had resolved to not see him that day.

He was incredibly impressed at how big of a failure I was. REALLY impressed.

And then we walked and talked, and I bought him a lollipop.

Later that evening, I went to the library, and ended up talking to some CSOs there. Then he came by, cause he was Frank1 that night. He gave me a ride home. He said I was a even bigger failure at avoiding him by that point.

:-)

I can't avoid coincidence, you know.
