Diki sap and updates

I just got an e-mail from Diki. Sappy as all hell (he said that he didn't say what he wanted to say earlier (i.e. Leave Diki at Purdue Day) because he was too tired and too "embarassed" (oh, valedictorian...) to). I don't feel like posting it, since it's really personal, but I'll just say that I'm so sobbing right now (even moreso than that time he gave me an insanely sappy Christmas card (said card is buried somewhere in my messy hellhole of a room; I think I'll look for it, find it, read it, and cry a lot this weekend)). ~_~ I don't know how to respond to it, either, 'cause whenever he does something nice to me and I start crying, he's usually around to look a bit "embarassed"/happy before flicking me on the arm or something.

He's usually pretty shy about being nice to me, but he's always been there for me, even if he didn't feel like saying so (for example, when I had my solo with the orchestra, the Side-by-Side high school players couldn't watch and had to wait in the nearly soundproof back room for me to finish; Diki would never have told me, but Elizabeth said that she and Diki were pressed against the back room doors, listening to my solo even though they couldn't watch me. It sounds so simple, but it made me so happy to hear that).

I really miss having Diki around the house... ;_; In reality, I don't leave my room a lot, so I don't see him around the house too often except on weekends, but getting a drink in the middle of the night and seeing Diki's open door across the hall as opposed to seeing it in its usual shut-and-locked position... it's something that takes getting used to.

But yeah, for those of you who know him well enough to care, he's doing great. He apparently has something of a "cushy" (his word) schedule, and happily for him, he found someplace to play Magic: The Gathering with his other geek friends every Friday.

( Which reminds me of a bash quote... )

But yeah, that was my little "missing Diki" interlude for the night. When I told Claire that I cried on Leave Diki at Purdue Day, she was like, "Haha, why? Are you going to miss him or something?" all incredulously and stuff (heartless biotch!! lolzerz, j/k!!!). I explained that I'd started crying anyway upon seeing my mommy in tears, which is true (what makes it even more tragic is that she was so reluctant to leave; we'd just gotten back from dinner, and she told Diki to go take a shower, and we'd be waiting for him in his room after he was finished; I asked her what the point of waiting for him to finish a shower was, and she was like, "Oh, that's right, we have nothing else to do here... I guess we should go, then..." and she started crying), but I probably would have cried without my mom's help anyway. ;_; Everyone deserves a Diki in their lives (or at least a bond like the one Diki and I have). I hate to admit it, but he really is one of my best friends.

Okay, so that was my little "missing Diki" interlude. In unrelated news:

I've been on a Tenipuri kick lately (obviously), and between my "missing Diki" bouts this weekend, I'm hoping to knock down at least 20 episodes.

School's fun (I love school), and this semester is going to be my easiest semester ever; one study hall, one audited class, computer science, and theology, which basically leaves me with three "serious" classes that I'll actually have to work in (physics, calc BC (I didn't wimp out like the rest of you; not you, Bridge... it's not your fault your school is stupid ><), and Brit Lit).

Oh, fun tidbit about calc: We dropped from 14 to 11 in one day. Keep in mind, though, that four of those are the independent study geeks (gotta love 'em!) in the back, so we officially have seven people in our class. Sarah M. and I had estimated 10, but I guess we were being optimistic.

Time to organize my school supplies and finish my homework.

Oh, but before that, don't forget...
