my New Year's Resolution...

[elsajeni]

Okay. Here is, basically, the text of an entry from some days ago. Some weeks ago, actually.

So there's the GSA dance on Thursday night. If I'm not going to a movie with Becky, Megan, Dana, Candy, Blake, and Sean, I'll be going to it. If I go to it, I'd like to have a date, and although Megan's offer was very kind, I'd like to have a date who's actually attracted to women, if possible.

So there's this girl. She's bi, or so I have been led to believe. And she's beautiful. And I would really, honestly, desperately like to go to the dance with her. (Look, I've had a crush on her since the first day of Cardinal Camp, all right? I was talking to Jenna, I turned around, and there across the multi-purpose room was this girl with pinkish hair and a plaid scrunchie and I was pretty much doomed right there and then.) Issue: she has no clue who in the fuck I am.

So... help? How do I get this insanely perfect girl to go to the dance with some chick whose name she doesn't even know?

I decided that, hey, it's the New Year, I'm 18 years old, I'm a sensible person, and I don't have to be such a wuss about this. I decided to just come right out and say who the aforementioned insanely perfect girl is. But I am, in fact, too much of a wuss (she has been known to read this journal on occasion). Therefore, I am asking you to vote in comments. Should I fess up? Or should I remain a wuss? It's in your hands now.

Comments

well, as i just happened upon your lovely journal after reading your comments on amanuensis1's merry smutmas fic, you have no reason to take into account anything that i may say...however, i'd say to go for it, as she obviously sounds like she's worth it. however, i'm much like you when it comes to never revealing any such feelings to anyone, so i understand how hard it would be. so basically this comment is worthless and i'm just here to lend moral support.

wibble. and :-D

Another wussy fangirl! We should form a club!

I appreciate the support, though, and the sort-of-vote. (And, on a tangentially related subject, that was one hell of a Merry Smutmas fic!)

Hmm. I would vote that you let it out. After all, if she reads your journal every once and awhile, perhaps she is not as distant. That gives you a little better odds than if, say, she was a complete stranger. At least she might recognize your journal name, and that's a start. Change is the only constant, so there should be no reason to fear it, eh?

Of course, as a wuss myself, I often find myself being a little too subtle in my approaches, so I'm not exactly one to preach ^_^().

Things happen in weird ways, though, so, worst case scenario, even rejection might not be as bad as it seems. After all, what seems like a curse might be a blessing, and what seems like a blessing might be a curse. Nothing to do but take action and see what happens.

Besides, it's a new year. Why not?

Btw- happy belated birthday! I'm sorry I don't keep in contact nearly as much as I used to. I have neither long distance nor internet at my new house, so it's hard for me to keep up. I have the traditional birthday and christmas gifts for you, but I'm not sure when I'll see you next... hmm...

All right, dammit, this is the third time I've tried to post this comment, and if it screws with me again I'm just going to shoot it.

Ahem.

*grins* Of all the many things you are, I don't think I would ever have called you "subtle."

I hope to do Swuusi. Main camp. You?

See! Told'ya I didn't get internet access very much! I stayed at work later tonight because I'm getting a ride to an art show. Wahoo.

Yeah, it seems not very people that I know would consider me subtle. I find this baffling, as I had always considered myself a master of such things! hee hee. moo ha ha.

I'm not sure which camp I'm planning on going to yet. Haven't thought too much farther than this weekend; that's hard enough to juggle as it is ^_^().

(btw- I hope you get e-mail alerts of lj comments. Otherwise, I fear that this will be buried under everything else.)
