Yes, I know. Another skating story. And yes, I went skating two days in a row. What can I say? I love ice-skating! So, this time I went two of my friends. Let's call them C, and A. No, these aren't the friends that I went with yesterday. These are two friends from my school.
Anyway, ice-skating starts at 7:00, and goes until 9:00. C was supposed to be at the rec center by 6:30, and A and I were supposed to be there around 7:00. Well, A texted me, thus using up my second to last text, about 6:30, telling me that he was running late. Well, I didn't really mind, thinking he'd be about 10-15 minutes late. Little did I know.....
So. I got there right at 7:00, expecting to see C waiting in the lobby of the rec center. Did I? No. I put my skates on, and went out to the rink, expecting to see her soon. She got there around 7:10 -- later than I expected, but I was fine with it. We started skating. I showed her my sliding trick from yesterday -- she thought it was awesome. From time to time, I'd look out the rink doors to see if A had arrived yet. No such luck.
Well, he called me around 7:45, and said that he'd be there in a couple of minutes. Was he? No. No, actually, he didn't show up until around 8:15. By this point, I was extremely frustrated. C and I were sooo mad, we said we'd "kill" him on Monday -- translation: be really mad, but forgive pretty soon. I was so mad, that I'd decided he was now below my notice. At 8:15, I decided to call him. Right as I was about to leave a message, he walked into the rink. I decided to still leave him a message, but I yelled as loud as I could so he'd hear. We ended up having a great time, but it wasn't as good as it could've been.
Lesson 1: BE PUNCTUAL!!!
Lesson 2: DON'T GET LOST!!
Lesson 3: IF YOU DO GET LOST, CALL, AND ASK FOR DIRECTIONS!!!
So, now for the realizations. Well....lets just say I used to like A, and he used to like me. Back when we first realized this, C's sister got really mad at me for liking him -- she thought he was a liar and a jerk. He had lied to her about at least one thing, but I thought he was pretty cute, and so I kinda chose to ignore the not-so-good things about him.
Tonight, while I was skating, before he got there, it kinda made me wonder why I liked him in the first place. I mean, I'd gotten so frustrated with him because of certain things, but for some reason it didn't seem to matter, just because he liked me. So, tonight, I realized that just because someone's cute, doesn't mean they're the best person to like. I also realized that people don't change - if they do something annoying, they'll probably still do it. Thus, it's not worth ignoring those things -- eventually you'll get fed up.
So, despite all this, I still kept thinking back to how things used to me when A and I liked each other. Because of this, I was kinda down, and C decided to give me some advice. She said that A was definitely not the one for me, and so I should basically stop thinking about things. Not her exact words, but what I got out of it. And I have to agree. Besides, I've met this awesome guy (M), who seems to be much more reliable, not likely to lie, and who I know really, really likes me! :)
So, yeah -- sorry for the randomness and incoherent-ness of this -- I just wanted to get my thoughts out. Well, thats My Crazy Life. :)
