Went round her house the other day. Hanging out and films planned. Met her family.

Status:

Father
Seems OK. Apparently he doesn’t mind me. Probably won’t hunt me down and warn me not to hurt his princess.

Mother
Very quiet. I must have said at least 4-5 words to her. Little is known here. Could go either way. Fingers crossed.

Brother
I’ve met her brother a couple of times before (less scary than meeting parents). Actually seems to like me. No problems there. Is away a lot for College.

Slightly less hideous than I was expecting. My natural (and clumsy) charm must have helped. I’ve all ready been asked on holiday with the immediate family [insert slight panic here] but as it’s just for a weekend and her brother is also coming (possible backup) then I’ll survive. I have plenty of time to prepare too, its at the start of September so I shouldn’t be digging any holes by then.

I’m wanting to spend more time with her (yes, like that!) but sadly this is harder than it should be. Always seems to be a few friends around all the time. Hopefully she’s lose the wing…girls? To be fair we’re never in the right place for anything. But still, fun can be had…

bq. Guy Two: (Pause for reflection)

Anyway I need more sleep. Might be seeing her tomorrow so with any luck I won’t look like a zombie. Also apologies as it has been a while since my last post. Distractions you know…

Guy One hasn’t posted anything in a while either so I’ll try and wake him up. I’m pretty sure he has some important news.

Night night and all that jazz

Harumph

Well, I can't pretend to not be at all jealous of 'The Other Guy' but I'm also happy for him. In this sea of supposedly plenty more fishes, there is one less... rod? In other words, all the more for me! Anyway... I think I left my last post saying "We'll see what happens tomorrow" or similar. As the categories of this post suggest, nothing particularly happened. In fact, it seems that she doesn't even consider me to be a part of her close group of friends. To that I say "Why the hell was I such a delusional idiot?" and the answer is quite simply: "To pass the time." So now, with a fresh eye, I cast my... eye... over the community. It seems there's one girl I overlooked initially. She shall be known as Karen. She's quirky, cheerful, outgoing and 'kooky'. Upon talking to her more seriously, there's a very tender and loving psyche that I want to protect. What from? I don't know. Essentially, she's hot in every way. That's probably been said before but to hell with it! Her personality is beautiful and reflects her physical presence. Guy Two however went and asked 'So you don't mind that she's taller than you?' Which, of course, sets me into paranoia spirals but now I'm thinking that I don't care at all. My brother would justify it with the phrase "Everyone is the same height lying down" but I think that it's something so picky and trivial. However, she has just signed on so I must depart to actually make the active, pro.

Playing the field

By that, I don't mean it's more like getting in the hole, I mean it's a solo game. There is _no-one_ out there at the moment. I'm in a sand-trap if you want to continue the golfing idea. The Elle situation developed like so... she didn't respond to any degree of interaction so I pretty much gave up. Right now, the only person who I could get anywhere with is the sister of a brothers ex. I think it would be a bad idea. I think I'm looking at things the wrong way though. Instead of looking for who I have a chance with, I should look at who would be perfect. That's the entire point of this place! Perfect girls. So, ignoring any social restraints, sexuality, associated friends/groupies and history, the perfect girl would be... Elle. Meh. It's not easy is it. "Maybe if I...":http://bunny.frozenreality.co.uk/index.php?id=5 Look forward to an update from Guy Two who seems to be getting some lady attention. Should be interesting to hear his side of things... should be anyway.

Story so far... (Guy Two) - Part Two

To clarify, my story starts way before guy one's which is why it's at least twice as long. My apologies if this bothers anyone (that is if anyone is actually reading this). To recap, 'Laura' and her ex had issues. I grew less interested. It seemed as though I was back at square one, my search would have to begin anew. Girls that drew my interest came and went with startling rapidity (which goes to show that looks alone are not enough). Times were bad. To continue, despite the disturbing closeness of 'Laura' and her ex 'Will' I was still talking to her. She's good to talk to. I wasn't just going to ignore her. It would seem that she was not entirely happy with the current situation. I suggested a few things, mainly involving the dispatching of the ex. A few times I sensed the hint of a flirt underneath her friendly words. She started telling me things that no-one else was told. I became a bit of a confidante. Things were looking up. Then something happened that almost destroyed my faith in girls entirely. The gossip on the street was that my beloved 'Laura' had been seen at the local bar "making-out" with some guy. "Never!" said I, rather foolishly thinking that she wouldn't stoop to such a level. Sources were tapped. Informers questioned. Basically, I asked her directly. As it turned out, thanks to the miracle of alcohol, she had indeed made-out with someone. A guy with a girlfriend no less. Horror. She regretted it, of course, as most people do. The part of me that was focused on girls started fraying at the edges. Cracks appeared. Interest waned yet again. More time passed before I fully forgave her lapse in judgement. Nothing showed on my calm exterior however. I shared my worries with a work mate. Sympathy was offered. Normality was returned. It seems strange to me now that I didn't give up on her. There was something about her though that allowed me to give her a final chance to prove herself worthy. Most likely her insanely good looks, I am a bit of a sucker for her at the moment. Recently more interest has been shown towards me. Flirts are flying around more than before. She has hinted that she would be interested in a "fun relationship" with someone but that she tends to fall for people easily. A possible point of access into a relationship. I have received unrequested texts and phone calls from her. Not that I complained obviously. Why only yesterday she was disapointed not to be able to see me when we could have met up. However, always in the back of my mind lurks 'Will' and the hold he still has on her. Keeping her for himself. An accident may have to be arranged. I jest, of course, but it is an entertaining thought. Thus we have made it, finally, to the present. I have shortened it as much as I feel possible whilst also keeping it fairly story like. Just the facts seemed a little dull to me. I have left out many minor instances where my interest decreased. Missing too, are a fair number of things which made the whole thing seem possible along the way. The flirting, the texts, a phone call or two. These are not interesting enough for such a large recounting. Some might wonder, myself included, why I still have hope for this girl, this temptress. The fact of the matter is that I am interested whether I like it or not. No other girl has emerged to take her place. She holds onto the top spot. A better behaved, less complex girl might be able to wrest the position from her, but there is a noticeable absence of such girls. My unscheduled, weekly blog should be infinitly shorter than either part of this story. So fear not. Readers will not have to dredge through endless waffle. This is mearly a long introduction to get you up to speed. Information might become a bit scarce are some points and possibly pedantic but it all builds the picture of how the girls me and my friend are interested in are slowly destroying our lives. Enjoy.

Story so far... (Guy Two) - Part 1

Guy Two — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 09:04:45 GMT

Hey, so there's this girl. There's always a girl. From your best friend's friend to that girl who works as a waitress at the local coffee house to the red-head in maths to the girl-you-met-at-a-party-that-one-time. Girls everywhere. 'My' girl works with me and goes to the same college. We work shifts apart but talk when everyone's together at the end of the day. We don't take classes together just know each other vaguely. Lately a bit more than vaguely but I'll get to that later. For now we'll call her 'Laura' as me and my friend won't be divulging real information like names and places and such. So I notice her - short (which is good for a guy of my height), fairly long brown hair, thin yet intriguingly curvy. As near as dammit the perfect girl for me looks-wise. Now to find if she's got the personality to match. A little chatting, some flirting thrown in for good measure. Nice girl, not entirely within the same social group as me but that shouldn't mean anything so it's ignored. Problem. Boyfriend. Abort. Abort...Hang about, boyfriend PROBLEMS. Workable. Now I'm not the kind of guy who'll steal a girl from another guy let alone one I used to know but these problems seem to be leading to a dead end anyway. I'm not about to look a gift horse in the mouth so I'll let them get to the inevitable breakup then go from there. They break up. Sunbeams and Butterflies. They still hang out...deal with-able. They still act like boyfriend/girlfriend. A slight hiccough? They still kiss. Storm clouds and lightning bolts. Must find out what's going on. Turns out they still act as boyfriend/girlfriend because they've been going out so long they still depend on each other a little too much. Crap. My interest slowly wanes and 'Laura' becomes just another girl I know who I once had a little thing for... I'll get the second half of this story up later. I'm sure there's plenty to read already. Ciao for now 'Guy Two'

story so far... (Guy One)

Guy One — Sat, 21 Apr 2007 22:58:12 GMT

Before I start, I'd like to apologise if any of this comes out whiney and sad. It's the past so I've got considered opinions on it. Up to date posts should be a bit more sparky and interesting. I had a girlfriend for six months. We broke up about a month ago. She decided that she wanted to be single. I can't blame her for leaving, things were getting dull and we lived a fair distance apart. However, saying that she missed being able to "look at other guys without feeling guilty" amongst other things made me suspicious. Meh, after about two weeks, I was realising that I like being single, it's not as crappy as I'd thought. That's starting to wear off. For a couple of days, I thought I might be able to spark something off between me and a girl I knew from last year, but that was a let down; she's hardly interested in talking to me let alone meeting up. So, now, I move to what will most likely take up most of my ramblings: we'll call her 'Elle'. Essentially, she is an ice queen. For the past 4 years we've been playing games. She flirts, I make a move, she overreacts (negatively) and we don't talk for a while (4 month average). We've been pretty close in the past, I'd get invited in for tea, talk to her mum. I've even seen her room! (Believe me, it's a big deal for her.) So, now I find myself drawn to her again and this time I have the balls to actually work things properly. There's more to the history than this but that will come out as I remember it and when it's appropriate.
