Mr Jones, Jones, calling Mr Jones (Wake Up Now)

Recently, I've started blowing off my homework. Well, not really. I've blown off my homework for years. Rather fun, I think, but it drives my parents and teachers nuts....they'll live.

Either way, I'm using my Google account in many new and numerous ways these days. For instance, in the past three days I created a YouTube account [link]. So far I've run across many good videos that recollect joyous memories for me. Episodes of Garfield and Friends from the 80s; music videos by Aqua, Rammstein, Ace of Base, and others; and just random junk. Perhaps my favourite would be the short movie "Tree in the Forest" [link]. It is a rather touching tale of how a deaf girl overcomes a problem in her life.

But, looking back now, I see certain things. No longer am I alone, for I have friends that suffer through the same endless agony that I suffer through. Appearently, women cause problems for all men, regardless of our intelligence quotient.
I am fearful that my opinions on this girl will change, however. No longer does she have braces, no longer is she single. She now dates a rather good friend of hers, and I cannot help but believe that she has had a crush on him for sometime now, and is not willing to let the relationship die so soon. Thus far, however, I plan to wait as long as possible for her. Most teenage relationships do not last a particularly long time, so I have a small glimmer of hope that I will get my chance. From my perspective, she is much to good for him. I have no idea why I believe that I am more worthy of that angel than he is, but I see myself as much more deserving.

The other thing that has changed is in respect to the second girl in Fools and Kings. While she still has a boyfriend, to whom I figure that she will one day marry, I am beginning to overcome my prejudice of him. We have IMed each other once or twice (he is in college, thus I shall not see him, and I do not call people in *his* position). While I am still jealous of him to a degree, I have come to find that he is a rather nice guy. One day I shall learn better control of myself, and will no longer flirt (as I view it) with his girl.

Waiting is difficult. I would know. But it is not the hardest part.

This is true. As I have said...one day, I will gain better self-control so that I can time events in my life better to where I will not have to wait.
