Well, I'm running down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind,
Four that wanna own me,
Two that wanna stone me,
One says she's a friend of mine.
Glen Frey... I hear ya.
Except I'm a woman, and I have six men on my mind.
Two that want to own me,
One that wants to stone me,
and two say they're both friends of mine.
...Aaand one is just an all around idiot.
First and foremost, I had a lovely chat with Steven the other night. I don't even want to talk about it, but I hope he finally got his closure.
The next day he took me to Planned Parenthood to get two pregnancy tests, first urine, which instantly came back negative, then blood. After I got my blood drawn we drove to the St. George temple and walked around temple grounds for a while, waiting for the results to come back from the lab. Eventually we found a really nice bench and sat down and spoke for a while. After a bit we saw Francini and KC walk out of the doors of the temple. Then I started to cry. They both looked so happy. I said, "It's right there. I could just reach out and touch it. But I can't go in. I am so close... But I can't go in."
A bit later, Steven informed me that if I am indeed pregnant, life would go on as normal... he'd be as involved in my life and in my pregnancy as I wanted him to, and he'd stay at Dixie and be close by if I need him. Then he said, "And if you're not pregnant, I'm leaving the country."
Yeah I laughed too... and he went on to tell me that he was serious. Next semester, if I'm not pregnant, he said he was going to sell all but two bags of his possessions, get a passport, pick a place (preferably a third world country) and go live there for as long as he feels like he needs to. He wants to "re-invent" himself. He then went on about a Tom Cruise movie and finding a lost Samurai army, learning their ways and fighting a war alongside them... Don't ask me, he's insane.
Well I called planned parenthood right there from the outskirts of temple grounds.
"Alexa, the test came back negative. You have nothing to worry about."
(sigh of relief) "So, I'm not pregnant. You're one hundred percent sure that I'm not?"
"I'm one hundred percent sure."
Thank heavens. I found myself taking a moment and saying a prayer of complete and total gratitude, then looking to the temple and making a silent oath to get there as soon as I can.
I later met with the Bishop, who says I am well on my way to getting a new recommend. Things are looking up.
And Steven is going to go be a Samurai.
Man, I know I've screwed up a lot of guys, but this one just takes the cake. Well good for him, I suppose, maybe when he's out re-inventing himself he can grow up a little bit.
Now as for the men in my life...
Chris Gubler, AKA Goober. Goober called me and asked me on a date. I said yes, to be nice. I just don't want him getting the wrong idea.
Frank is a big brown teddy bear. He came over for a strongbad email night at my apartment yesterday. Afterwards he texted me and said, "I think you're amazingly beautiful and I really like you. That's not weird is it?"
This one is Josh. Choir josh, Hot tub josh, possible distant relative but not by blood Josh, ice cream with Grant Josh. Josh never ever talks to me in person at choir, but he texts me almost every night. I don't understand him. Whatever.
The infamous Jeremiah. I'm still bitter, but things are okay now that I have a reason as to why he was such a douche. I still think about him at least once a day. He stole my heart and smashed it.
This is Steven. Now you have a face to go with the name. He is going to leave the country and become a Samurai warrior next semester. He has either deleted his facebook account, or he has gone and blocked me and everyone that has anything to do with me. Well, good for him.
And last but certainly not least is my dearest friend Grant. Grant is a breath of fresh air when in a world of idiotic men. I adore him. Yesterday he told me that I'm his prettiest friend. And today we went to Cafe Rio and watched Benjamin Button. Grant, you're my favorite.
In other news, I was charged $79.95 by an internet scam. That also put me at a lovely negative number and gave me a $35.00 late fee. Isn't money great? :)
I also got recruited to do tech for A Year With Frog and Toad the musical, which is bittersweet, because I REALLY wanted to see it, but it counts as tech hours for my scholarship.
Well... I have class at ten tomorrow morning, and it's a little after two AM. it's time for bed. this has been a really fun blog, everyone. Goodnight to you all and to all a good night.
