oh my lord...
he's typing my name in lowercase.
and he's doing it on purpose, isn't he?
heh... ahhhhhhhhhh............
 
i'm so easily amused
 
..
 
damn, yes.
i want to meet you
and be kidnapped
and tortured to death.
or worse.
yeah, that sounds lovely.
 
but luckily,
i still have some common sense
doing its job of overriding my happy-go-lucky desires.
yeah.
 
damn, if i met you,
i probably wouldn't like you.
so let's not meet
for a while.
that way i can at least pretend.
 
yeah.
 
and don't answer any of my questions.
you're more mysterious that way.
that way you won't say anything
to make me dislike you.
yeah.
 
and if you're so intent on meeting me,
well,
this ain't gonna go nowhere.
so, damn.
whatever.
nice being emailed by you.
have a good life.

i'm so... turned on?
like electricity in my veins,
a vibration in my blood.
 
it keeps me awake.
and after i fall asleep,
it wakes me up again.
 
i surely need to learn how to sleep
in spite of this...
 
i'm imagining things.
little things.
but they're enough to...
constantly distract me.
i am amused.
 
i've never cared to fantasize things about real people.
it seemed somehow blasphemous.
but more importantly, a danger.
of mixing fact and fiction to the point
where one might not be able to separate them
when dealing with the actual person.
 
but now...
it's so damn erotic.
imagining a self-identified dom taking an interest in me.
 
just a few words,
and i create this whole fiction around them...
and i don't want it shattered by reality.
 
i'm really flattered
that someone actually wants to meet me.
 
even if...
ze has sinister motives.
 
damn. especially if ze has sinister motives.
just not that kind of sinistry.
 
even if ze just wants to check me out, view-wise.
though that would be disappointing.
 
but, anyway.
the way this is affecting me,
the way even such a tiny little thing is affecting me...
 
methinks this is definitely the way to go.
the type of thing to do.
 
as long as these fluttery vibrations inside me,
and this not getting enough sleep,
don't drive me insane.

heeee....................
 
yes, use them nice fancy words.
they make me smile.

it's a scary thing to consider,
making yourself openly vulnerable to someone else
of your own free will.
 
like jumping off a cliff,
all your natural instincts scream against it.
 
no matter how much you yearn
for that feeling of free-fall.
 
how can you trust that someone will be there
to catch you?
 
 
but i am strong
and apparently i have no choice, but to survive.
so if i hit the bottom,
i'd just have to pick myself up
and climb back to the top.
my skin would get tougher;
the next jump might seem less risky.
each time, the jump might seem less and less.
 
then, how could i even be vulnerable anymore?
 
or perhaps, the next jump would seem even more risky?
i would be just as vulnerable,
but with another layer of tough skin hiding that vulnerability?
another layer of tough skin protecting me
and imprisoning me...
i would become harder and harder to reach?
 
a tougher nut to crack;
too tough to even tempt the squirrels?
 
 
or, maybe.
it would be so simple.
to walk with me over the edge of the cliff,
before i had even realized i was in for a fall.
 
considering making oneself vulnerable may be scary,
but in reality...
perhaps it is simple
perhaps it happens without one even realizing it,
or being afraid.
 
..
 
wanting something
makes one vulnerable.
 
without that "i don't care" attitude,
it means... you care.
and if you care,
you can be hurt.
 
being vulnerable
is not a bad thing.
it is necessary, for what i want.
 
aye, there's the twist.
 
being strong
but still allowing oneself to be vulnerable.
 
at least, in those situations in which...
 
in which one trusts the enemy?
in which one wants to trust the enemy?
in which one wants to take the plunge?

omg,
i'm feeling so fuckin' needy,
it's ridiculous.
 
oh, please, please, please...
 
.
 
::whimper::
 
can i cry now?
 
*
jan 23, 2004

hmpfh.
good for a cry at least.
vaguely sadomasochistic in its own way.
 
okay. i'm good again.
won't totally despair
for another few weeks surely.
or another few hours, perhaps.
because it would be prematurely foolish, otherwise.
and then...
well.
whaddaya expect.
yer jist imaginin things anyways.
 
..
 
nah, really. get real.
'e don't like ya.
don' even know ya.
'e's talking ter someun else
is what it is.
jist were a mixup is what it was.
nuttin 2 do with ya.
or 'e's busy.
an probly a cigrett-smokin bush-lovin republican
with ten kids older'n me
who don' like nuttin i like
an likin' everthin i don't.
that's what it is.
yah, really.
get real.

jan 24, 2004

i think i just fell
and hit the bottom.
 
See? i hadn't even realized
i had already walked off the edge of a cliff...
well, perhaps i did, these last few days
as i was standing on thin air...
but i didn't realize it while i was stepping off the edge.
 
so now i've got to climb back to the top
while another enshrouding layer of tough skin envelops me.
 
that's what happens when you start fantasizing
things of real people.
You Shoulda Known Better.
yeah. but it was fun, wasn't it?
and falling, well, who cares?
smashing into the bottom is fun too, right?
hmmm. <sarcastic>Sure.</sarcastic>
 
..
 
i've got to ask, this time.
curiosity, you know.
but i must wait a few weeks to avoid premature foolishness.
and damn if i'll still have the courage to ask, then.
 
oh, get real.
there are no Answers.
and certainly not from 'im,
who is most averse to providing any.
 
*
jan 24, 2004

oh, fuck.
whoo-hoo!
 
that's not fair,
playing with my emotions like that.
just not fair.
 
anyway, i am much better off now,
much more logical about it, right?
much more able to handle anything that happens
in a most logical fashion, right?
 
anyway,
what would another smashing impact be to me anyhow?
fun, fun, fun?

jan 24, 2004

phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhffffffffffffizzzzzzzzzz....
that was just fucking bloody brilliant of me.....
ye stupid fool!!!

methinks this person is a bit quick
on the uptake.

oh, and Darling,
you are fucking fabulous!
i think.
maybe not, if you're reading this.
but, oh well.
your words charm me.
i am enchanted, you see,
and hope not to be disenchanted...
 
oh, and if you are still reading this, oh wonderful one,
you'd better give me an apology.
Pronto!
because i am magic,
and i will *know*, you know...
and you want to stay wonderful, dontcha?

Go Ahead, Crack My Nut...
 
maybe i'm being manipulated...
but ain't it cool?!
to be manipulated?!!
isn't that what it's all about???
 
can you imagine,
someone adept enough to manipulate me,
manipulating me?!
ain't it coolamundo?!
 
.
 
ah.
maybe i am infatuated.
maybe i'm in for a big fall.
a long drop.
and a big ouch?? hee...

jan 29, 2004

well.
after meeting him in person
he still... interests me.
how about that.
 
[...]
 
*
jan 29, 2004

aaah. he's so cute.
no way do i believe that, but still.
and now he's really getting dommish on me.
oh my god.
i'm gonna die.
 
and the moral of this little story is...
if you don't want someone to notice something,
don't point it out to them
and then ask them kindly not to take notice of it.
 
such brilliant stupidity on my part.
 
.
 
so.
perhaps i am infatuated.
i am doing things quite against logic.
 
how did my mindset change so easily
from not doing anything with a married person
without said married person's spouse's consent,
to this? eh?
such a convenient little story.
 
and why doesn't it bloody matter anymore if he lies? eh?
does the aura of danger make him more enticing?
or am i just desperate? or so... deucedly... charmed?
 
is it that once i feel warm and fuzzy like that,
and tingly and melting...ish,
that i'm willing to overlook anything at all?
it sure seems like it.
 
oh. my. god.
he's going to make it his little project
to cure me of my shyness or nonsociableness or something.
i'm going to DIE!
 
such wonderful little feelings.
 
oy. but i'm terrified now.

jan 31, 2004

he's so good at what he does.
such simple-seeming things.
 
thank you
for taking that french fry,
for the touch of your hand on my back,
for not asking.
for knowing, assuming, taking.
 
i want to fall into your ocean...

Thank You.

feb 16, 2004

it's odd sometimes
how after experiencing something very emotional,
it's hard to remember
how one lived life before it.
 
the emotion fades,
and things start feeling a bit empty...
and one doesn't remember what one used to do,
to fill that emptiness...
 
everything one remembers doing in the past
seems to no longer serve any purpose....
 
..
 
hmm.
it could almost seem like an experiment.
take newbie sub/bottom
and do a little experiment to see how they react
to various things...
tick tick tock.
and note down all the things they do
which are unwise unsafe inadvisable.
and come back and say, see?
see how vulnerable you are?
see how easy it is to fall into a trap?
see how easy it is to lose yourself?
 
aw, come on.
i just want a little fun.
 
i'm not expecting to fulfill
my heart's deepest desires here...
 
am i willing to sacrifice too much
for just a little fun?
 
it doesn't seem a sacrifice
for one who has nothing...

fuck. what is wrong with me?
why am i starting to call him Sir all the time?
 
i must be bonkers.

my brain has gone over to the side

traitorous thing...
 
oh lord.
it's all so absurd,
i can't do anything but laugh.
 
he's fucking TEASING me!!!!

odd...
not wanting to do something, per se,
yet wanting to be convinced into doing it...?
 
in other words,
it wouldn't be something i would care at all for doing,
if there weren't that control factor to it.
yet with that factor,
it does begin to seem something i might want to do.
just for curiosity's sake, if nothing else.

gosh.
i'm actually considering doing that.
it's so hard to believe... or isn't it?
how come i seem so changed
from how i used to be a few years ago?
 
i'm surprising (shocking?) myself
with the things i'm finding myself seemingly willing to do...
 
but i don't know if perhaps i'm only fooling myself
as to my ability to actually do them...
 
it seems too easy, too odd,
to all of a sudden be thinking, "sure, i can do that; why not?"
 
am i fooling myself?
 
maybe i'm just feckin curious and don't care.
maybe i'm too flexible.
many limits? how odd.

'e's got a cute voice...
 
so..........
who's gonna save me from myself?
 
*
feb 28, 2004

i really wish, though,
that i had a better memory of his face in my mind,
so that i wouldn't keep initially visualizing
this other person's face, a co-worker's,
half of the time when thinking of him.
apparently, their features must be a bit similar.
i want to get that co-worker's face out of my head!
 
oh dear,
it would be sad
if i totally forgot
what his cute voice sounded like,
and only remembered that co-worker's instead.
i want to remember his voice...
hopefully i'll still be getting to hear it.
 
..
 
it feels like i've just come to the end
of a very good book.
where there's nothing left to read,
and it feels so sad for it to be finished.
but it isn't the end, right?
just because the story isn't going to turn into reality,
doesn't mean the story is over, right?
 
yeah, yeah.
i'll just crawl away
into my lonely little self
now.
 
i'm certainly no worse off
than i was before.
 
it's all good.

starting to feel little aspects of friendship,
the desire for actual companionship
is brought more to the fore...
 
and one knows that this, even at its best,
could not ever be actual companionship.
 
merely... a diversion, an occasional entertaining pastime.
 
.
 
maybe it is all, even this,
a mind-game.
something done on purpose.
 
though that would be assuming more cleverness
and deviousness on the other person's part,
than could possibly be expected or warranted.
quite unlikely.
 
.
 
ahr.
i just want to close my eyes and lie back
and float... sink into this....
vague feeling that's stirring in the depths of my being.
 
but no; i have to work.
 
but i don't want to have to half-ignore this feeling like this...
i want it to permeate each and every part of my existence...
i want it to be there...
so i wouldn't have to worry about losing it
during times like this when i have to ignore it
in order to get work done.
 
i don't want to have to ignore it...
i just want to sink down and down
and down
into
the
depths
of it.

i'm so uncertain about things right now.
yet that seems positively mild
compared to the other things
i've been feeling recently.
 
i'm going to be alone again,
in my mind.
i don't want to have to face that...
and all its implications.
 
what the hell do i think could possibly happen?
it couldn't possibly.
what the hell am i fooling myself for?
there is no hope.
there is not.
don't be a fool.
 
no, there is no fucking hope for life.
i'm only fooling myself
because there's no fucking hope
for death either.
 
do you remember your friends?
remember them, sweetheart.

 
no, i don't need imaginary friends.
just like i don't need any stupid hugs.
 
leave me the fuck alone.
and don't fucking call me sweetheart,
you fucking...
 
...you fucking wonderful self, you.

gosh. being monogamously married
must really suck!!!
::compassionately evil laughter::
 
.
 
there is no up without a down,
no smile
without a frown
 
[...]
 
.
 
i don't think there was enough communication
there either.
it might have been enough...
but i still know hardly anything about him, really.
 
and when someone is married with a family,
how could i feel anything but second-rate?
their primary attention belongs to their family,
of course,
and all i could reasonably and rightfully hope for
would be minor left-over crumbs...
little bits of time,
little bits of attention...
 
considering that,
the attention i got seemed rather impressive,
actually.
but it would not suffice in the long term.

oh, please..........

dammit.
but i still don't know why,

for no rational reason at all.

oh god, how am i going to make it
through a whole week of work
(and weeks and weeks... and forever...)
without there being at least the possibility
of a nice email to look forward to each day?
what's there to look forward to?
 
it's all right.
you managed all right before,
before any of this ever happened.
you'll manage again.

 
but i don't want to!!! ::sob::
 
(what is this weird stuff i'm eating, anyway?)
 
it's all right.
this will fade,
like everything always does.

 
but i don't want it to fade!!!
 
you will find someone
even better!

 
oh, sure i will.
you expect me to believe that?
 
okay, you will live a long and lonely life
and then die all alone.
happy now?

 
FUCK YOU!!!
 
you're being silly.
 
silly?
 
yes, silly.
go ahead and grieve if you want.
but don't be silly.
you're going to be fine again.

 
but i don't want to be fine... ::sniff, sob::
 
i want my wonderful darling!
 
now you really are being silly.
 
am not!!!
 
sigh.
it's all right, my little baby.
::pat, pat::
::hug, hug::
there, there.

 
mrrmmfffffph.
ain't no baby!
 
so stop acting like one.
 
ergh! i hate you!
 
that's all right.
i love you.
everything's going to be all right.

 
well.
there's still episode 3 to look forward to...
that's something, i guess.

and shout out "I LOVE YOU!!!"
 
except that this would be a rather embarrassing thing to do,
especially since one thinks one ISN'T really in LOVE....

"I Love You for making me Feel Happy!!!" ?

Don't do it though,
what you're thinking.
You're not rational,
just being dramatic.
 
No!
I do not have to put up with this.
If you can't care about me enough to tell me anything,
why should I care about you?
It's a waste of caring.
It's a joke.
I'm a FOOL.
I do not have to put myself through this.
He does not care.
And if he does, well, fuck him.
It's not doing me any bloody good.
 
I'm just being a fool.
 
Yeah, so?
What's so bad about crying?
What's so bad about hurting?

bloody hell.
hearing love and heartache songs on the radio,
and they're starting to make sense,
in an "hmmm, I've been feeling that way" kind of way.
 
.
 
a person's silence,
even though saying nothing,
after a certain length of time
seems to imply more
than any of their previous words.
 
.
 
oh my darling, oh my darling,
oh my darling bumblebee...
thou art gone and i'm so lonely...

Remember...
if this isn't the right person,
then they can't *be* the right person,
and there's no sense in getting upset
that they *aren't* the right person.
 
it was nice, though.
 
maybe it still is nice?
hmmm.
i have no idea.
i wish said person would explain things.
oh well.
maybe he's really a jerk
and doesn't want to explain,
because that would give away the fact that he's really a jerk?

hey! who's calling my wonderful ex-darling a jerk?!!!

maybe his computer's broken.

maybe he doesn't want to drive me crazy.

ah, the ex has reverted to being a non-ex-darling.
how sweet.
how wonderful.
how absolutely confusing.

oh, yes.
so wonderfully wonderful!
 
it's just so hard to believe...
that someone is interested in me (after all this time?)
...and that that someone is someone whom i'm interested in too...
 
is it really?
 
it would be rather odd
if he *weren't* interested in me, considering.
 
so, i guess so?

(take over.... take over.... let me let go...)
 
we don't want the responsibility
the difficulty, the complexity
the decisions
the toughing it out
the putting on a strong face
putting on a mentally stable facade
strong, independant, competent
 
want to let go
and fall
float
uncomplicated
unconstrained
 
navigate me
through
the asteroid belt
 
so i can just shut my eyes and drift
easily
comfortably

some ideas, suggestions, mental images
are like slow-motion... time-released... time-delayed...
spells
 
you don't think much of them when you first encounter them,
but they just sort of eat away at you...
developing over time...
and then, poof!, you notice them affecting you
in new and curious ways.
you find yourself feeling things you didn't feel before...

okay, i know you can't be all that for me,
but could you at least go and find me someone...
 
someone who'll
email me when i want email,
someone who'll
kill me when i want to die.
someone who'll
touch me when i want to feel,
someone who'll
be there for me,
when i don't want to be?

you don't even need to exist;
my imagination does quite well enough on its own.
 
although i'm sure the real you would be better
than that which my imagination can imagine.
or... well, actually, i'm not.
 
but...
maybe there will eventually be no further point in you existing,
since my imagination will already have "been there, done that" ?
 
 
hey... maybe he isn't really married.
maybe saying so just lets him avoid anyone who might want commitment.
seems unlikely.
but then, everything does, doesn't it?
 
maybe his being married
relieves me of various worries i might otherwise have...
romance, long-term commitment, etc.
 
but my imagination is becoming a bit... unruly, isn't it?

maybe i was being too emotional. ?
maybe i shouldn't take it so seriously and just go with the flow.
be happy of what i get and not be disappointed about what i don't.
 
i think i tried that though.
it must not have worked.
 
how could i get myself to not take it so seriously?
 
you mean i shouldn't care that he doesn't care???
how can i care if i don't care ??
if i don't care then there's no sense in it.
 
how can i care while not caring?
is it possible?
your job isn't to care, it's to obey... hmm...
 
no, that doesn't work.
see, i cut my hair.
if i don't care, there's no reason to obey.
 
perhaps i wasn't being too emotional.
perhaps i was right.
 
 
or do you think he really does care
and it's just a matter of me being able to believe that
in spite of not getting much feedback on it.
 
he shouldn't have to tell you anything...
 
and what difference does it make if he cares or not,
if you could let yourself believe it anyway?
 
am i afraid of believing something that's not true,
even if it were to make me happy doing so?
 
no.
i don't want to believe something that isn't true.
but maybe it is true.
hmm.
i wonder if he would bother saying so.
 
maybe he doesn't want to admit it, even if it is true.
maybe he thinks it is obvious and doesn't need admission.
 
maybe i'm angry.
if he can't even tell me...
if he can't even answer a simple question to let me know...
 
hmm.
perhaps i was right.

and someone comes by each week,
to give you one jellybean.
 
such a colorful sweet and tasty jellybean...
but eating it makes you thirsty too...
 
so then...
 
nothing, nothing, nothing else all week...
and you're still starving...
and now you're thirsting too...

where did i read that...
it being an aspect of human nature,
trying to bend others to ourselves...
trying to manipulate, to own...
and when one way doesn't work,
trying another
and another...
 
it's sort of like that,
when i get these thoughts,
of ending this...
things i want to say, to do...
they're not necessarily what they seem to be,
but attempts at getting this other person to react...
subconscious attempts at manipulating them.
i want to say goodbye
because i recognize that this just isn't working.
and it's not going to work.
but really, i want them to react by saying "no, don't go..."
i want them to change for me.
 
oh, it was from the book i'm reading.
i remember now.
 
they aren't going to change.
any more than i can change.
 
we're too much alike perhaps,
lacking expression.
 
what you need is someone like you,
someone who is already in a relationship
and who just needs a little something extra,
on the side.
 
what i need is more than that.
 
Trans... Europe... Express!!!
 
perhaps someday, someone will come
and hug me
and pull me in.
 
perhaps someone will come
who will recognize me as a lost soul
afraid and alone
not knowing how to do this
thing called life.
 
someone who will hold me
and show me
and teach me what i never learned.
 
perhaps someday.
 
.
 
if you want joy,
why do you make me so sad?
 
not many people would put up with this.
you are lucky to have me,
whatever this is,
for now at least.
 
or at least as lucky
as i am to have you.

i could still email him,
but without writing a single word.
then i shouldn't become bitter when he doesn't reply.
 
perhaps?
no, i don't have such self-restraint.
and it would merely remind me of my bitterness.
 
.
 
dammit.
but look on the other side now...
NO. i don't want to.
 
i don't want my mind doing this wishy-washy
one way then another way thing.
 
i want this OVER.
DAMMIT.

yeah, laugh, why don't you.
be amused at my affected-by-you-ness.
 
i don't want no fucking crumbs.
 
and you obviously can't control me anyway.

that's what i'll do.

perhaps one never gets over an infatuation.
perhaps one just has to stomp on it
and walk away.
 
and whenever it rears its cute little head again,
you just have to stomp it back down.
and ignore the pitiful screams.

but i don't, really.
it hurts.
 
i guess it depends on the definition of love.
if it's that strange and wacky emotion
that makes you feel elated and turbulent and hurt...
maybe.

keep your... ummm... wits...
 
maybe subbies have standard interfaces.

doesn't mean he knows anything about me.
doesn't mean he cares, either.
yeah.

the logical part of me makes decisions based on
what will make me happier in the long run.
 
the (illogical?) emotional part of me makes decisions based on
what will make me happy in the short term.
 
it's when the logical and emotional decisions don't coincide,
that there's a problem.
 
first, my emotions decided i couldn't stand it, when i was feeling bad.
but my logic said to just be patient and things would get better.
 
then my logic determined things wouldn't get any better and so
decided to end it.
but when he does something to make me feel good again (temporarily)
my emotions want it to continue, even though logic says temporary
is not good for the long run.

emotions don't lie.
emotions sense the truth about things.
 
perhaps emotions are more reliable than the rational mind,
which has to conjure up acceptable realities for itself,
masking unpleasant truths with acceptable fictions,
in order to function.

i wonder if he wishes i would have called him
just to talk every now and then,
or if he's glad i didn't.

i wish he would have called.
 
i wonder how many occasional, part-time subs he has,
or if it's really been just me.
 
*
nov 12, 2004 (errant thoughts from work)

so bloody charming.
so smooth....
 
does he have to think about it,
ie. did he have to think of a good way of answering that question,
or does it just come natural?
(or is it more my perception of the answer,
than the answer itself, which i'm so tickled by...?)
 
yet not even really answering the question...
like a politician!
except not, because if politicians were like him,
i might like them, but i don't.

nov 19, 2004

you know what?
reading back over those old emails,
i don't think he even likes me.
he probably just hasn't broken off contact completely,
because he likes the idea of having a naked person at his mercy.
even if he doesn't particularly like that naked person.
 
all those fucking emails.
goddamn.
giving someone a piece of myself like that,
letting them see inside me,
and them not even appreciating it.
not even liking what they get to see.
but not breaking the contact either.
no wonder i got so bitter.
 
.
 
yes, but now? now, why?
 
no. now i'm despaired, not bitter.
and not about him, the wonderful dahlingk that he is.
smooth-talking snake-charmer.

to spice things up.

he inspires awe in me.
surprises me, says things i don't see coming.
makes my heart skip a beat...
while my body reacts with shivery delight...
 
maybe like the author of that book,
i only desire to submit to someone,
when they make me feel an awe like that.
 
makes me almost want to worship him...
(except he's too human, too fallible, too... (bush-lovin!) for that)
to lie down by his feet...
 
something different from my fantasies
although not quite...

or if something's happened to him,
or if i'll never hear from him ever again,

i'd eventually have enough confidence
to no longer be thinking these things.

there isn't much point
in trying to make sense of this.
it's never made sense,
so why would it now?
 
and he's never really explained things
in such a way that i could understand them,
so why would he now?
 
he's no more confounding
than the universe in general.
 
[...]
 
i suppose normal people
wouldn't ever consider there to be anything
between themselves and someone else,
when their relationship consisted of
almost no face-to-face
or even voice-to-voice discussions.
 
[...]
 
.
 
gosh, you know though,
i have the faintest inkling
that perhaps he isn't normal either.
 
and when it comes down to it,
no-one is normal, so... oh well.
 
.
 
i'm afraid that i may actually be attracted
to those qualities of his
which frustrate me so much.
 
.
 
dang, if he really did all that with me,
just out of desire to be nice,
without getting hardly anything out of it himself,
he must really be such a NICE person...
 
but he would've been a fool to waste so much time...
and he's not a fool...
and as much as i like him,
i somehow don't get the feeling that he is so nice,
so...
 
argh.
as i said already, there's no point
in trying to make sense of it.

These pages really do help put a perspective
on how I've been feeling regarding Wododu:
 
Unrequited Love: Agony & Rapture
What is Limerence?
Limerence
 
In spite of me not having felt so much any romantic infatuation with him
(in terms of wanting his love and tenderness),
but rather a type of D/s infatuation
(in terms of me wanting him to really like me as his sub,
and to pay attention to me and act domly towards me,
and to get out of our interactions as much as I did),
a lot of the things mentioned on those pages
really do hit the mark.
 
I never could figure out if he really liked me, or not,
or in what ways...
 
A lot of my feelings for him had settled down
since somewhen last year.
Not disappeared, but settled into the background.
I had accepted that he didn't feel towards me
the way I did towards him.
I had accepted just being friends and/or play-partners with him.
 
But this last week or so stirred up my emotions again.
Not only did he make it sound like he didn't like me in that way,
but he made it sound like he was callously disinterested in me,
and then that he was actually truly displeased with me...
and then that he actually disliked me...
 
And still being sort of infatuated with him,
I can even interpret the above things
as him being nice,
in terms of him knowing I've been infatuated with him,
and wanting to try to help me get over him.
 
And this morning, I feel all right again.
 
*
mar 28, 2005

[...]
 
I guess I just want someone to tell me I'm not stupid -
that even though i've been infatuated from the start,
that I was not foolishly misinterpreting anything...
That Wododu is a confusing, though wonderful, son of a bitch.
Because when I read over all those emails now,
I interpret them the same way I did back then.
With confusion.
He definitely wasn't telling me he wasn't interested in me,
at least not when he was telling me anything.
 
But I already know I'm not stupid.
 
.
 
It was nice, though.
Yep.
Yes, Sir, it sure was.
Sort of.

It's ok.
He enjoyed this last year, in some ways at least.
He just wants to move on now.
And I do too.
So there's nothing to be so regretful and sad about.
Knowing him was an experience I'm glad to have had.
I never expected this experiment with him to last more than a year, to begin with.
And it ended nearly 9 months ago already, anyway, for all real (to me) purposes.
And apparently it never even started, for all real (to him) purposes.
It is time, to move on.
Perhaps this was even necessary, to enable us both to move on.
Perhaps not; I do not know.
But it is ok.
