there's this guy...

since i decided that boys no longer have cooties i'm pretty sure that almost 50% (if not more) of my sentences start with "there's this guy..." just ask my mom and sisters... i just cant get enough of those so-called men... they are oh-so entertaining... there's always a story to tell, something to read into and get irritated, or flustered, or twitter-pated, or "love stoned"...
what is it? what's so good about them anyway? i'm sure that there are hundreds of reasons that they're great, but at the same time, i'm sure there are hundreds, if not thousands, of things that make them annoying and not worth the time, or the energy that we put into impressing them.

for instance...

there's this guy...

he and i have been friends for almost 3 years now. at first we were inseparable, we went to lunch every day no matter what, we worked together on every project or assignment that was given, we talked for hours on end and were thought to be dating by most people... we would be asked where the other was by our co-workers and bosses and sometimes other friends and almost 100% of the time, we knew where the other was.
then i went away to school... it was one of the hardest things in the world to have to say goodbye to him, considering that he's terrible with goodbye's so we just said "see ya later" and left it at that. we continued to talk but we haven't SEEN each other for over a year.
it is almost inevitable... when i have decided that i've moved on and can no longer dwell on what might have been between us it's like he has a sixth sense about it and out of NOWHERE he'll call me. he'll tell me how much he's missed me and update me on what's been going on... we'll say that we need to get together... but we never do... i cant speak for him, but i know that i wonder about him and what he's up to...
and then that stupid cycle starts over... it's pretty irritating... i'm not gunna lie.

there's this other guy...

he and i have been good friends since we met while i was at school... he's pretty great! we talk every day, for at least an hour or so, and have become even closer despite our geographical distance... we play games, talk about what's going on, i've met his roommates via webcam, likewise he has met my family. we know just about every dirty little detail about each other and it's great to have a friend like that... while i was at school my roommates kept telling me that he was a little into me... he was at my place all the time, came to visit me when my roommates were out of town, we would go to the park and dork around all the time...
unfortunately i was so set on being miserable that i couldn't see that and i wasn't having any of it... i consequently missed out on what could have been AWESOME... and now i'm really far away and not looking to go back there any time soon, for any reason at all... we're still really good friends we still talk all the time and we keep saying we'll visit... but it never happens... anyway... that's an unfinished story for the time being...

as it stands there will always be "this guy" in my life... so i'm positive there will be more...
for now, peace out...
