jackofallgeeksApparently, Mike wasn't done, though I get the feeling he may be fed-up with me. Apparently, he approached curtis about it again while I was at class. "I don't get it, why are you guys stonewalled against me," he says. "I don't know anything," Curtis replied. "Any promise you made to some girl shouldn't matter with friends," he said, which angers me slightly, for similar reasons that he "not a girl-friend" comment did. And then finally "This is ridiculous, because I did up my hair, and I wanted to practice picking her up."
Yes, according to Curtis, he said "I wanted to practice picking her up." Who says that? Who thinks like that? Practice picking her up? What, have a test-run of it before you try picking her up for real? Or maybe girls are so standard (it is only a game, after all, with certain rules and certain techniques) that picking up one girl is the same as picking up any other? Ugh, I don't even like the term, 'picking up'!
Anyways, I saw Mike in Biology, and then again back in our room after classes, and he didn't say anything about it. He did give me the remains of a large, red, heart-shaped box of chocolates, which he presumably got for Valentine's (though whether he got it from someone else, for someone else, or for himself is open to speculation). I was going to post something like:
I'll still eat it. It is chocolate, after all.

Some might consider this strange, or creepy, or even a bit insulting. I consider it chocolate, and I plan to eat it (once it's frozen, as that's the only way to eat chocolate).Now I'm a little angered about it, especially if this is supposed to be some kind of gesture to make me think better of him. I cannot stand the feeling that someone's trying to "buy me", or bribe me, or whatever you want to call it. I'm a nice guy, too nice by some estimations, and I'm usually agreeable and will do what I can to help out, willingly. The thought that someone might try to put a price-tag on my favors just angers me.
