From Anastasiya's Journal:

Amongst other things, Andrew is starting to get me into some really really nice music, well its a little dark, but I like it...(kinda makes me want to smoke a cigarette...*bangs head on table* I'm such a looser :-p accualy it makes me want to sit somewhere where the people around me are all smoking russian cigarettes...What can i say?? i'm addicted to the second hand smoke ^_^) So yeah. Oh freaky factor! Andrew told me about this band called, Blackmore's Night, and the name sounded so freakishly familiar, so I look them up, and realize that last year at the ren fest I got their tape, and they sound really good (Andrew suggested a few songs and they were really good, so much more then the ones on the tape i got...) So after like 20 minutes I finaly get this song Greensleeves which came with a recomndation from Andrew, and i put it on and nearly die. The tune from that song, i've been humming to myself for as long as I rememeber, which is since i was practicly a baby, but I was born in RUssia, and to the best of my knowledge have never heard the song...! So i'm really happy, i finaly know what i've been humming to myself all those years...!
I really should thank Louis for introducing us, Andrew is a very refreshing change of pace (I didnt even know guys like him existed!), and he acts freakishly like me too...(stitch like noises and the such...:-p) Oh and like i said, hes getting me into music I also ddint know existed, but music I would have really liked had i known of its existance (and i do like it A LOT, well what i've heard so far...)

I've made a friend.  ^_^

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make her dump him...

So last night Rose came over, citing guy problems...
Since a good deal of you probably don't know the story, I'll give you ( A Little Background. )

So, now, the same old thing is happening -- Trevor's not paying attention to Rose, and she's afraid it's because they spend too much time together, or she's too clingy, or something else along those lines. At it really gets to her, cause she really just wants a little affection...

But this time there's another guy, and because of him, she's beginning to believe what everyone else has been telling her, I think, about how she could be doing better... This other guy pays attention to her, and smiles at her, and listens when she talks. She was telling me about all of this, and I asked her if, for all the time she and he spend together, if they ever really TALK, like honest, up-front, deep talking. And she said no, not really. I think that's the key point there. You can't really knmow a person if you never really TALK to them (I could extrapolate on that, and I think mayve I will in another post), and especially you can't work out difficulties when neither side knows what's going on with the other.

Other than that... I told her that if she's considering this new guy over Trevor, she needs to decide what it is she really wants -- of this guy wasn't here, would she still want to leave Trevor, and if Trevor wasn't here would she still be interested in this guy? I think the answer in both cases is yes, but the fact of the matter is that she has to make a decision and stand by it. I think that's another part of the problem -- Trevor is taking her for granted, and the fact that she's always come back to him when they break up only reinforces that...

So, yeah, there's that... I think, maybe, it would do them both a service if she broke up with him and that was that. Not that I would wish misfortune on either of them -- must as one may think otherwise, I really don't hold ill will for Trevor -- but at the same time, (a) she's not happy, and that isn't cool, and (2) maybe if he realized suddenly and finally that you can't just assume people, he'll take a little more interest in his relationships, in general.

Mid-Week Weekend (Part 2)

When we left our hero...

Trying to get my story about last weekend done before this weekend gets finished! Things are getting back on track for me now -- my week's been really off-kilter, having little time to do much of anything aside from basic functions, like cooking spaghetti or checking my email. But I've gotten quite a bit of rest the last couple days, and I think I'm starting to catch up with myself. I finished replying to Suzannah's email, but I'm afraid it wasn't a very good letter -- it was written over a couple days since I had no real time to speak of, and I was very distracted the whole way through. But not THIS is the only straggler, so it must be completed!

( Into the Storm )

( And my story would not be complete without... )

( Case Closed )

And that was my weekend. We drove home, had dinner, and then I went back to my dorm...
