We're in the 9th inning of the College World Series elimination game, and LSU is losing to South Carolina 14-4. I am oh so disappointed with this fact right now.
There are all kinds of stories to tell, but I have things to do at the moment, which I amputting off until the end of this tragic baseball game, so I'm going to make this short for now.
Saturday night at my regular ladies' night bar, Jared pulled me aside saying "we need to talk," which I think is a bit dramatic for a guy I just recently met, who subsequently blew me off. But I let him pull me into a corner and he starts going on and on about how he hopes I'm not angry at him for not calling but that he feels guilty about hitting on me when I'm constantly around a group of 6 or 7 guys. Now I thought that being friends with mostly guys was an advantage in that they would introduce me to friends of theirs such as Jared, but apparently he has made the assumption that all of my friends have some sort of claim to me. What?
But it gets even more bizarre when he tells me, "In all honesty, you make me really nervous." What?? I have a good bit of self-confidence, but I'm no Jennifer Aniston. And okay, I might expect another guy to be apprehensive about coming on to me, but I think I've made it pretty clear that Jared is gorgeous and could probably get any girl in New Orleans. So I told him that I don't buy that story; he insists that I am, in fact, intimidating. Whatever. We ended up having a decent conversation for a few minutes about LSU and roommates and generic topics such as those, but then Travis cut it short by announcing that Ashley's car had been broken into and they had to leave.
So I spent the rest of the night stressing out about the most recent Aaron drama that has been going on, but now is not the time for that.
And Carolina just scored again. If this isn't depressing, I don't know what is.
