So there's a guy that I think has a crush on me. I'm happily taken, but it's hard to tell because of the distance that I mentioned earlier. He's kind of cute, but definitely not my type. I'm kind of a touchy-feely person with my friends, and I feel like he needs a good friend since he's an incoming freshman and he doesn't really have many friends. I want to be a good friend to him, but I feel like I have to hold back parts of the kind of friend I want to be just because I don't want him to get the wrong idea about how I feel about him. If that's not too confusing. xD

I asked my friend to ask him whether or not he has a crush on me, and then I plan on talking to him about it, but I'll have a hard time finding the words to say. I know that I want to tell him that I want to be a friend to him, but I don't know how to tell him not to take me the wrong way without sounding weird...

I don't know how I would go about getting people to respect me. Getting respect isn't really my goal with most people, since the people I want to respect me already do. Otherwise I guess I just respect everyone and hope that that earns their respect back. After all, you can't help but respect people with honorable intentions, even if you don't really like them.

   

I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

Looks like I have a thing for follow-up entries!
The original entry is about three or four entries back.

You'll never guess what happened with my boyfriend and his pastor! He got the boot. Or, more specifically, the pastor felt the need to "dissolve the partnership." I read the e-mail, and it was funny because he spelled lots of things wrong and used some poor grammar. xD That kind of stuff makes me laugh when they act like they're so much better than someone.

It upsets us both because he needed the money to pay for his next year of college, and it's going to be a bit of a rough time. It's a relief to no longer have to deal with the pastor, though. I don't know how to feel towards the pastor now, although I'll do my best to treat him with the utmost respect and kindness, I don't know if I should feel bad for him for not being able to handle the situation and just dropping his music minister because of his need to be controlling, but I know that I can't really be upset about his actions because I can't hold grudges.

Another thing that I'll have to deal with now is finding time to spend with Josh. He goes to that church and I probably won't be going there any more due to recent events, but I really want to be there for him because his mom has a really awful case of cancer and she's got only a little while longer to live. I want him to know that I care about him, but I don't know what I should do to keep in contact. He's kind of awkward to talk to on the phone, but he's really fun to hang out with. I'll definitely need my boyfriend's help with this.


Right now I'm in keyboarding and all of my assignments are finished. I'm really good with computers, so everyone is asking me for help (sometimes even the teacher) and I just got through with running between three or four different people asking me questions. xD I didn't know I would be so occupied today!
