End of Finals< End of Grant

(December 19, 2011)
Finals. I'm pretty sure I put forth a mediocre show on most of them. Although I did legitimately do a cartwheel in the engineering building after I finished my last final.
I was totally by myself and just did a cartwheel.

Goodbye, crappy semester of poo.

Did I mention that grades for said semester come out on my birthday? Why, universe? Why?

Oh, this email. Scattered and unfortunate. Ha I'm so very sorry, but I really can't turn it around at this point :).

I really don't have enough to say on the subject of your email, so I'm just going to tell you about what happened tonight.

See, I was rather annoyed at one master Grant because he was being less and less available. Even though I was 99% certain that was him telling me he didn't want me, I really wanted a no. A verbalized, real- life no. Just to cut things off cleanly. What follows is our conversation this evening, after having discussed music and such and whatever for a bit.
Kristen: "So, I have a question for you."
Grant: "Oh, yeah, what?"
Kristen (very closely paraphrased indeed): "I feel like, early on, it was relatively clear that you were at least mildly interested in me. However, in the last week, week and a half, it seems as though your apparent interest has dropped off precipitously, and I was just wondering if this is because your actual interest has similarly dropped off, or what, precisely is going on. I'm perplexed."

Grant [chuckles as if somewhat taken aback]: Oh, my. I... don't even know.

Kristen [Derisively, born of feelings of yeah- that's-exactly-the-response-I-wanted displeasure]: Ha really? You don't know?

Grant: Look, I'm sorry, but....I've actually never really been interested in you

Kristen: [Jaw shatters on the floor of his car]

Grant: Ha, sorry, I mean, I really don't think so....

[Continuing] I just like hanging out with you and stuff...I don't really think of you that way. You're really cool to talk to and all of that though.


Haha is it bad that all I can do is laugh about how ridiculously unexpected that is to me? I mean, it hurts....but, shiz. Life just wanted me to know how stupid I am for thinking I know when people like me.
