Victoria everywhere...
Since her message saying she wanted to study at home (instead of meeting me as per usual), I have been slowly losing it. I asked Ele about it on Thursday when we had lunch together. She didn't seem all that interested, though she did say it seemed like Victoria was friendly and I should try to talk about things other than study. Probably not the answer I was looking for.
Anyway, despite my own initiation to not respond to that message, I ended up responding on Monday after work:
Me @ 17:39 - Did you like it? What did you think?
Her @ 18:20 - Bane was too scary and I hate him! But I really like "Crazy, stupid, love." :)
Me @ 18:50 - Haha I liked the bit where Gosling gave Carrell a make over! And the ending was pretty awesome too
It looks like you're churning through the movies...I might need to give you a 100TB hard drive next time ;)
Notice the wink. THE WINK!
Her @ 18:52 - Yes everyday I look forward to coming home as I have "Parks and Recreation" waiting for me. Haha I think Ron is so funny as well as Tom!
Me @ 20:21 - Since you like it so much I won't give you any spoilers then :)
Then no reply. I thought, well ok. But since I was the last to send a message, it really would start to look a bit pushy if I was the next to initiate contact again. So I decided to go with Ele's advice and let Victoria ask about our study session on Sunday (even though I would be going to the UTS course).
Days went by and I had conceded that she might not contact me about it. Maybe she was waiting for me. Or maybe she didn't want to study with me anymore.
Then on Friday, my phone received a message. I thought it'd be funny if it was from her, but then told myself it was probably Jim. I checked my phone, and it was from her.
Her @ 10:58 - Hi [insert name here], is your UTS course for P&P this Sunday?
YES!!! SHE REMEMBERED!!! AND SHE ALSO KNEW I MIGHT BE GOING TO THAT COURSE!!!
I was pretty happy, and decided to wait till the end of the day so I could call her. I figured she was at work, so I'd wait till we both finished work. I missed hearing her voice.
Right on 5 o'clock, I left the office and called her. It rang a while before she picked up. It went something like this:
Her: Hi [insert name here]
Me: Hi, how are you?
Her: I'm good, how are you?
Me: Good. Have you finished work?
Her: Oh I didn't go to work today.
Me: Really? Is everything ok?
I have come to suspect that a possible reason for her seeking out religion was maybe due to health reasons. I mean, you'd really only have problems with money, relationships, and health right? You don't seek out religion because of money troubles. You might if you were going through a hard break up, but I think health is more likely.
Her: Yeah.
Ok, so you don't want to tell me about your health problems.
I told her I was going to the Sunday course, and asked her when her one was. She said it was Saturday. I said that kinda works out well, because it would suck if she had to study for both days of the weekend and she chuckled. I said we can study the Sunday after and she said ok.
I then asked her if she wanted to have fun, get fit and get an education. She asked what, and I asked if she wanted to come to the gym with me after work on Tuesday. She said yes at first and asked what we would do. I asked what she normally does and she said cardio. I asked if she wanted big muscles and she laughed, and it sounded like she would be interested in a bit of weights, but then said she remembered she has a half day on Tuesday if things finish early.
God, she doesn't really work that much does she?
She suggested lunch instead. I then stupidly said we could still do gym at lunch if she wanted, as that was what I sometimes did during lunch. We agreed to see, and she said she'd text me on Tuesday morning. She wished me a good weekend and we ended the call.
After the call, I felt better about things again. Less insecure. I know it's like a re-run, but sometimes my insecurity really gets the better of me.
I went to see the football with Matt and Aaron, and at times all around the stadium were banner ads for the beer Victoria Bitter. Hmmm. Then when I got home, I checked a letter on my desk and saw that the address was from Victoria. Hmmmm.
