There's a really nice guy in my SCO class named Max. He doesn't like smoking, drinking or rushing. Hey, you never know. Everyone is dating someone but me. It's gotta happen sometime.

What seemed to be a regular day in the city turned out to be my past revisited. See, a student from Hofstra was on the bus and then the train too. Someone I kinda knew from before. And when I first noticed him, I freaked to [my friend] Coffey. And then Ryan and Arlene said he was in some classes of theirs. Let the joking begin! "Ha-ha. Fu has a crush on Max". See, he was in my SCO4 class in the Fall of '99. It's an old crush come back again.Turns out he was going to Letterman too b/c he had standby tickets. And we spent the whole day together. He came with the group, and then me, Travis, and him waited by the Ed Sullivan theater. He didn't end up getting in, but he actually made it on because he knowingly went to the pizzaria that the camera crew visited for a sketch. And he was just sitting there, sitting next to Ice-T. So, Max met us afterwards for dinner. You know what really made me feel good was that he remembered me. He remember that I was "the girl who liked the Backstreet Boys". And, unlike any other guy, he asked me about them and didn't mock them. He even knew lyrics to their non-singles! And for once I was able to be around a guy I liked (and have liked) all while being myself. I wasn't my typical shut-in self. I don't want to wait too long to say something,but I also don't want to jump into things. I want to say what's on my mind. Well, maybe I'll just ask him to stop by EU (Entertainment Unlimited) sometime......

Last night I called Max. He was very nice and talkative. I invited him to the Popcorn Flik movie tomorrow night. This is the first time I haven't been so hesitant. I believe in fate, up to a certain point.

Today was one of those great overall days where I just want to tell everyone how happy I was. It was a rare, productive day and people could tell because I was "beaming". And that was all before the evening's events. Ryan was nice enough to come to "Annie Hall" at 8pm. At first Max didn't show up, but I didn't want it to upset me, so I enjoyed the movie. He ended up coming in at a little after 9. Turns out he wached his show and taped another, But he came to the theater despite the movie being half way over. I wonder what that means. We talked for a while, and he thanked me for inviting him. I thanked him for coming. We talked about random stuff again. I told him I was playing at the open mic night and wanted him to come. He asked me about playing violin and was just overall so easy to talk to. But I accidentally told him the wrong room, and now I'm all freaking out. I don't even know if he's coming or how I should tell him. Well, it was just a very nice day for me. I hope to see him around soon.

Max called back on Saturday night, but I was at the movies. He left a message wanting to know what I was doing. But when I was at the movies! And when I called back, noone answered. So then I left a message. Stupid phone tag. The school closed today because of the "snow day", so we had a little pizza party when everyone was supposed to be in class. Then I called Max. He stopped by the office and we went to Constitution to watch "Pay It Forward". Max is a really nice guy, he gave me his number. And he said I chose a good movie and made sure that I was OK with returning the movie to the office. I think I'm supposed to give it another day before I call.

Last Tuesday we had the "storm of the century" and classes were cancelled. There was no such storm, so I called Max and we played pool and ping pong with Coffey, Barb, Dan and Travis. Then we had a snowball fight, ate chinese food and played boardgames. Friday the 9th was his 20th birthday, and I gave him a card. He went to dinner with EU and it was fun. Some of us hung out afterwards too. On Saturday we saw "Unbreakable" at the movies and he came to my room to watch Conan host SNL.

There was another open mic night, so I played at it. I had invited Max, and thank goodness he showed up. It felt really good to play for an audience in which someone who really cared was. It's easier to play when they're you're friends. Somehow I was invited up to Max's room. He showed me all this cool stuff he has like a webcam. He's very much up on the technology. Then we listened to Dido and David Grey. It's nice, we have lots in common. Music, tastes, personality, dislikes, interests. He's also a neat freak. And his wall decorations are very similar to mine. He told me he wanted to get a world map similar to the one I have, so I bought him a small one as a late birthday gift. I stayed in his room til 1am. He's very polite, it was a wonderful evening. I asked him if he'd like to see a movie, I suggested "15 Minutes". He also wants to see it, so I guess those are semi-plans. He even had a b-day card prepared for me.
