hey there -- i had started an entry yesterday afternoon, but nathanael called, and we were talking and then he came over and then we went over to beka's (along w/aaron and janet) and played a game called crazy kates and then went to go see ever after, which i thought was really really good.

things w/nathanael and i are...well, we're still together. i don't know how to explain any of it, because a lot of it involves other people's emotions, and ones that i dont' necessarily think they want plastered all over my homepage, because a lot of people we all know come here...

no, there is no other people (like, cheating on each other), but...well, it's really hard to explain.

in a sense, for me, anyway, it feels like the relationship is being put on hold for a little while, while we both get some things straightened out. i mean, my feelings for him are more or less like those that i'd have for a brother. right now, the romantic is not really there, and maybe i should tell him all this, but i don't want to hurt him, tho' he has the right to know all of this.

i care about him more than i have any other guy in my life (save my dad *grins*) but, this is totally different...and i dont' want to hurt him, but i need to be honest with him, right?

it's more or less, i want things to be the way they were before, but i know that won't happen, so what's the use in wishing for it? and possibly things could get better than they were, just in a different way...if that makes any sense.

maybe it does, in some sort of way.

tonight, while i was at the library, it was storming, and it was just the neatest sound, the rain pounding on the roof, and the drip drip of our leaky roof...i just felt this inner peace and this...i can't excribe it very well without making it sound all stupid and stuff...it was, in a sense, like my experiance at mlw when i was "meditating" sitting on a bench at the friday night dance. i was so into what i was doing, and it was like i was walking down this hallway -- call it the hallway of my mind -- and i would have continued travelling down this path is this guy kenel hadn't come up to me and ask me what time it was. and there was this HUGE clock right behind me, anyhow...

gah!

i'm gonna go see if i can write some prose -- the ramblings or random thoughts thing...i feel like writing...and then, i need to see if hotmail is back up, so i can start answering my e-mails...which, yes, i know, i've been slacking on in the past few days, and i am quite sorry, all those who are waiting for an e-mail from me, i am quite sorry...
