4-day Weekends are the Coolest.

So! I have been blessed (!) with a 4-day weekend and I couldn't be more excited.


Well, I probably could be more excited if the Yanks had won Friday night. Or, if A-rod wasn't such a piece of SHIT! Or if Red Sox fans could shut the hell up! Serenity now!


In spirit of the 4-day vaca, I decided to go to CCSU (where my sister goes) to celebrate Thirsty Thursday. Boy, did we celebrate...until 3:30 am in fact. And then, once we got back to my sister's dorm, I continued to celebrate by laying down (it can't even be considered sleep) on the CONCRETE floor. Awesome. After waking up every 45 min, I decided to delete all my old text messages, shop for ring tones, look through my pictures on my camera...need I go on?

Thank God I had a damn good night (well, prior to the sleeping situation)
I went to CCSU with 2 good friends, Pat and Sarah.
They decided to bring every pillow/blanket from their house so when we got there we had to walk around campus along with Bed, Bath & Beyond. Awesome. (side note: maybe not such a bad idea on their part after the concrete bed incident)

We met up with my sister and then walked over to an apartment building to go to some party. It was actually pretty cool. Definitely a change of pace from the parties I normally attend. There was a beer pong table, but it wasn't the main focus of the room- actually a VERYYY nice change of pace. I have come to loathe beer pong after the boys in my grade started to beat off to it at night. I don't see the enormous attraction, but whatever guys love it.

Pat, Sarah and I were all sort of doing our own thing for the first hour or so and then managed to find our way back together over near the smokers' corner.

THEN! dundundunn My motherfucking ex-boyfriend walks in. The same one that dated me for 2 years and then broke up with me to go to see the world, i.e. Oklahoma State University. WHO THE FUCK GOES TO OKLAHOMA? My ex-boyfriend.

Yeah so he walks in. I nearly throw up from shock. (side note: the last time I saw the bastard was at a party 6 months ago. I got wasted and basically told him to fuck himself.) As I am trying to light a cigarette, I am seriously shaking and as I quote Sarah, "You're a mess! You're a hot mess!" Just horrible.

We make eye contact and do the awkward wave thing that ex-couples do.
Instinctively, I decide to take a couple of shots to calm the nerves and it does the trick.
We actually start talking and it goes extremely well, not at all awkward.

The rest of the night goes smoothly and not all that interesting so I won't elaborate.

Last night, I went over to my friends house where a bunch of people met up.
My friend, Dave, went too and it was a bit weird.
We've been on and off REALLY flirtatious for about a year and a half.
A couple weeks ago, I approached him and tried to figure shit out once and for all.
Of course, that's just too simple. Everything has to be complicated to be fun sooo he turns me down and says he doesn't want a relationship to affect our friendship.

The other day after school, we went to Starbucks. On the way there (I drove) he kept looking over at me and even told me how pretty I looked and how cute I was. Then at Starbucks, he had his arm around me the whole time, paid for my drink, and then positioned his chair right next to mine so our legs were practically overlapping. He asked me to meet up later that night, but I told him I was going to CCSU and couldn't. Then, he asked me what I was doing Friday night, and if maybe I wanted to watch a movie.

Friday night, I call him and he is like, "ohh Elyse! I totallyyy forgot all about that. Sorry, I'm out right now. Talk to you later."

Then, last night, I asked him to come to McDonalds and he full out refused. He showed me no attention and then proceeded to ask "what's wrong?" when I became visibly upset.

Bullshit.
How long is too long? If I decide friendship can't cut it and a relationship won't work, he is out of my life entirely (the exact thing I'm trying to avoid.) I just don't know what to do.
Advice is welcomed. and demanded. GO!
