Romance

Thanks Quag

I am seriously hoping I can get down there soon. The easiest way I know I can get there is with my dad since every so often his work requires him to go down to NC (for reasons I still don't understand, but hopefully not like Death Of A Salesman reasons), and he said he MIGHT be able to go around the week between when my last final's done and when I start my summer classes, but it's still a might. If not, maybe I could try to scrounge up some money myself to go down there. I only have five (almost completely separate) weeks of break this summer due to how I scheduled my summer classes, but I'd be willing to give up that time to be with her.

My prom was . . . fucking odd. One of my soccer mates and his something or other (They were adamantly not Together) were fighting, and I tried to dance with her. Since they weren't dating I figured he wouldn't care. She lead me on a bit, IIRC, then retreated to him with one of those "Yeah, you're not going to get me so don't even try" grins. -Grumbles inoffensively- Oh well. Oh, and I got sandwhiched on the dance floor by two guys who used to give me a hard time during the last couple of years of high school.

As I said, it was fucking odd. I just relaxed and rode the wave for a while. That three way dance was the closest I'd been to anyone else at all physically. Even the few times I'd gotten dances with women, they seemed comfortable at arm's length, and some of them stared at me like "I can't believe I'm doing this."

I'd had at least one person in high school say she thought I was asexual. I never told her that's only because I couldn't get a date with the sort of girls I pursued, and the one who pursued me just didn't peak my interest beyond a single night of hanging out.

Um, I can explain...

XD

I get the feeling I'm going to dislike this explanation but can do nothing to stop it. So carry on.

I didn't go to either of my proms because it looked from the outside like just another lame school dance but with expensive tickets, clothing, and transportation. I wasn't going to have any of that without a date.

I don't think I can think of anything to top that setup, so I'm just gonna leave it to your imagination

I usually managed to get one or two dances in with girls at those parties, but otherwise I was on my own.

That's not entirely bad, though. I can make it work. One Homecoming dance, they played Darude's Sandstorm, it pumped me up, and I busted a groove with DDR steps up front. By the time the song was over, the entire front of the room was a semi-circle around me and the DJ's booth, chanting my name. To cap it off, the DJ's speakers smoked a bit at the end. Fucking sweet!

You just have to feel comfortable, or like the risk of humiliation, and ride the wave. I think the second was more my speed. Some of the shit I did back then is stuff I'd take back if I could.

Like trying to sing Linkin Park's A Place For My Head on video for the credits of our school's news show one day. -Facepalms-

That's nothing, I did this horribly awkward performance in front of a huge group of people WHOSE JUDGING EYES I COULD SEE RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE O.O

And I just realized that that video has almost 1,000 views now. Why O_o

We only had one video tape at all that entire semester. We overwrote it daily. We couldn't overwrite everyone's memories, but no one ever brought that day up again. I'm not sure whether I should be relieved or appalled. I'll cautiously accept the first for fear of the second.

And you have guts, Odd. -Thinks . . .- Oh, Hell no! You did not make a joke about your name when I mentioned my prom. -Goes into a laughing fit- Well played.

Yeah, I wasn't so lucky, as the tech guy was recording all the performances that night

Thanks though. I've gotten a lot better since with that, to the point where I can at least fake not being nervous better on stage

Also, took you long enough to notice

Even the last horse will cross the finish line at some point. Unless it's sent to the glue factory, or something.

Okay, now let's start that arts and crafts product!

Sociopath. I WAS that horse, thank you very much.

But we were going to make a memorial for you :'(

-Snorts and throws his head like a horse- Suuuure you were.

I think a lot of things have thrown my romantic life off the normal track, but I wouldn't change a bit of it. I'm not the conventional sort to start with, and if I'd gotten dates in-person I sure as Hell would have stressed myself in ways I just frankly didn't need. From not knowing enough about myself beforehand to avoid certain potholes along the way.

Easy there. *feeds sugar cubes*

I know what you mean there. There's probably tons of stuff that I could bring up that threw mine off track (most of the involving my own neuroses), and though I probably wouldn't be who I am today without all of that (for better or worse), I do kinda wish I'd be better experienced at it all.

Yeah, my own shyness can be crippling. I had a meeting with a three year online partner not too long ago, she kept touching me to get me feeling comfortable and opening up, and I totally don't remember her actually doing it. I can only hope this first meeting broke that dam so future meetings with future partners (I'm Polyphillic) might go better.

Heh, with the only girlfriend I ever had I didn't even get the chance to open up like that, since she hated being touched (and even hugs seemed really awkward) and was even more cripplingly shy and socially awkward than I was, and all she ever wanted to do was play WoW and Runescape. Last I heard she got a boyfriend who would fit in in certain parts of this site well who draws.

Nods. I had one vaguely like that, her dad was a bit handsy without going the full way, and it left her a bit gunshy about being touched. I'm pretty sure it's better now, though. She's had others in her life since me who did get to hold her.

*shudder* Well, that is very understandable then.

What?

Did you fall in love with a horse?

That totally awesome chick that I was talking about last week?

Turns out she has a Dom. Not a boyfriend. A fucking Dom. That's why her relationship status was listed as single.

...now that's just screwing with people. :|
