I'm not the man you think I am...I am a poor freezingly cold soul...I have just discovered that prudence never pays. Now, we must wait for the right time

Part One: Complete

04:22 PM

Well, did I ask her? No...then yes. God, I am the master of confusery!

Firstly, I went down to get some passport photos taken, before going in on the train to my work. I put in a £2 coin, and a £1 coin, yet it doesn't work...The guy patronises me, suggesting I'm trying to cheat him and such! I win in the end, although my first photo of the four is ruined. Then, I wait 45 minutes for a train...

So, waiting on the train, I see J and her boyfriend! We go into McDonalds whilst I buy a hot dog, preparing for my four hour shift ahead of me. We're walking along the street, and all of a sudden I turn to look behind me. Why do I do this? I still have no idea, but as I turn round I see C! How ironic...She turns away though, not seeing me. I tell J and her boyfriend I'll see them later, and as they look rather bewilderedly, I run off in search of C! You see, they don't know about her...

Anyway, I run up behind her, and clap my hands in front of her. She gets a fright, and says "Don't do that again!!!" I laugh. Anyway, we walk the remaining five minutes to work together, talking away about exams, and then we sit in the canteen with some people she works with. She tells me that she went to see Vanilla Sky, and we discuss that briefly. Then, we talk about the football (soccer) as we walk in, before her aunt stops her. I continue on, otherwise being late for work. It's the last time I speak her all day. I'm busy working my ass off for three hours, before my boss lets me away an hour early! Hurrah!

So, I get home around 9:30ish, have dinner (chicken with sweetcorn...), then relax. I decide that, having missed out on the opportunity to ask her out myself, I should send her a message by text. Oh yes folks. Not as personal, and not my preferred method, but it works all the same. However, I mention I'm going with a (female) friend from work anyway, making it seem more informal. Me and my friend have kinda planned this already, saying I could use her as a bit-part of my plan if necessary. Cruel? Possibly.

Anyway, the moment I send the message, I receive one. From who? C! So, the moment I was sending her a message, she was thinking about me and sending me one...spooky or what? Is it meant to be? Anyway, she sends another one, saying "great minds think alike!" and stuff like that, and says that next week sounds good!!! I'm shocked. Of course, it's now a totally different deal having to tell her my friend isn't going and that it will just be us two, but maybe it will work. She asked where we were going. I said I wasn't sure...Pizza Hut sound good folks? It's Valentine's Day remember? :-)

Well, it probably won't work, but it's a positive start in my view. Let's put it this way, it could have been a lot worse. It's a start. And, if it works, it could be one of the greatest moments of my life.

Anyway. I'm quite worried about HiG. She hasn't sent me an e-mail in a while. I hope she's ok. And I'm so glad Tibby's back! Life is quite sweet at the moment :-) HiG, if you're reading please e-mail me! I miss you!

I shall be off to dream about C now. Don't ruin it! I shall speak to you all tomorrow. Tuddles!
