  • (11.11) pepero day

    I hate days like this. Valentine's Day. Christmas. New Year's. PEPERO DAY.

    I bought him a box of pepero... I waited outside in the cold to give it to him. And he walked right past me.

    I have a tear-jerker loaded on my laptop, a bag full of kim-bob/snacks/chocolate, and of course, the box of pepero that I bought for him (a few empty wrappers already scattered on the floor).  And after, a hot bubble bath with aromatic bath salts and a facial.  And lavender scented candles.

    I can't believe he's made me into this idiot.  He, who begged me to try a relationship with him. And he's made me into the fool waiting in the cold for him, with a box of pepero for him, and he has not bought me a box of pepero.  My pride is hurt.  My heart is hurt.  My throat hurts from being in the cold.

    Love makes you an idiot.  I hate it.

  • More drama.

    I understand Shu being a little angry with me.  I understand he might need some time to get over it.  But what I don't understand is how he can say he is "thinking about us", like he's reconsidering what our relationship is, and how he has "lost his trust in me" over that one night.

    I regret that events of that night occured as they did, but I don't think I would really change my decisions.  I could not and still would not leave a friend drunk out of his mind all alone on the streets.  That's what Shu, and my friends, have been telling me I should have done...  Maybe instead, I would have called Shu or someone else to come take him home, instead of taking him home myself.  But I'm also not a child, and I can take care of myself.   Shu's friend gave me a scare that night, but nothing happened... not really... I got out of it.  And I'm okay now.

    Shu is angry, saying that if he hadn't shown up, something worse might have happened.  But is that true?  I got out of the situation myself, Shu was just there for me to take me home and be my shoulder to cry on.  I'm grateful for his help, but I'm not a little girl who needs taking care of either.  It's pretty annoying that he feels that way.

    As for Shu's friend... he took me for coffee and apologized for what happened, though apparently he doesn't recall any of the night's events.  I was reluctant to meet him at first, but we're friends too.  I don't want it to be awkward between us.  I was a little annoyed, because little cues indicated perhaps he was not fully remorseful.  He made "jokes" like, when I told him what he said about choosing him over Shu, he paused for a moment and then asked me, "So, what was your answer?"  That seemed off.  Does it matter what my answer was?  And when he walked me home, he asked me if I wanted to kiss him.  That was a little much.  Even as a joke, you don't say something like that to a girl you're apologizing to.  Or to a girl who's (supposedly) seeing your friend.

    I don't understand boys. It's making me so frustrated.

  • Drama.

    Why am I such a sketch magnet?  Seriously, it's getting kinda tiring.

    I want to believe there is something more than friendship kindling between me and Shu.  But awkward things keep happening between us.  Awkward.  And last night, his good friend and I were drinking together with a couple of other people... we ended up alone, and his friend ended up saying weird things to me like, "How about me over Shu?"  and it made me feel so awkward.  He then kissed me!  He kissed me, knowing I'm with his friend!  I know he was drunk but..  Things got out of hand and I had to call Shu to come get me.  First of all, he's Shu's friend so I can't believe he would do that knowing there was something between me and Shu.  Second, I thought of him like a big brother, so I can't believe he would do that.  And also, Shu is now angry with me and won't speak to me.

    Anyways.  I can't trust men anymore.  Seriously.  No matter how nice they are, really, they are all just pigs.

  • I hate being sick. With cramps. And a broken heart.

    It hurts so much I couldn't even get out of bed this morning.  I'm making a bad habit of cutting classes in Seoul... hopefully a habit that doesn't follow me back next semester.

    It was just one of those days where I just couldn't bear to face the world.  I went downstairs to the 24/7 convenience store and filled the basket with chocolate, ice cream, mocha milk and junk food.  The guy at the register gave me a funny look and asked me if I had just gotten dumped by my boyfriend.  I asked him if that's how it looked.  He laughed at me and said yes, but told me I was a pretty girl so not to worry and that I would find someone else soon.  ARGH.  I hate being told I am pretty when I feel ugly inside.  It makes me feel worse, for some reason.  I'd feel better if someone told me I looked like a mess.  I don't know why that is, but it is.

    In this state I'm in, I don't want to see him either.  As much as I play it off with my friends and pretend I don't care, I know that really, I let him into my heart (even if it was just a little bit).  I'm disappointed in myself.  I'm usually so good at guarding myself against other people.  But he intruded, he messed me up, and left me broken up like this.  I'll be okay.  I have my bag of remedies here (chocolate, ice cream, soft pillow, romance book, lots and lots of advil).  I just get so mad thinking about him.  And I read my love novel where the heroin is being held by her lover's strong, warm arms, and it makes me think of how warm his arms and chest were when he held me in them.  Now it's cold.  The heater in my apartment is broken.  But it's okay, I'm going to go out and buy one of those Korean electric blankets that heat up when you plug it in... that will keep me warm...

  • Let's play a love game...

    I know casual dating implies dating only, and not just with one person. . . just testing the waters to find someone.

    Open relationship, meaning one is involved with one someone, but also dating and seeing other people.

    But what I want is a casual relationship.  I want to be with him, yes, but I don't want things to get too deep between us.  Yet at the same time, I don't want him seeing other people.  Is it selfish of me to want to be with him without committing completely to him? I guess that wouldn't be what you would call a "relationship". . . but isn't there a middle ground between open relationship and absolute relationship?
