small world

this evening G and i went to dinner and i mentioned a protest i went to a couple years ago. she said she was actually there too, although she and i didn't know each other at the time, and that i was in some of the pictures she took. we looked at the pictures, and i pointed out that in one of them there was a guy i've seen a few times at a bar i go to, who i think is cute but have never spoken to. G then informed me that this person is best friends with a guy she's been seeing who i've never met before. apparently the guy G's been seeing told her that his friend was lonely and should find someone to date, so i guess she's going to introduce me to him. she says he's almost painfully awkward and that once she hurt his feelings by accident. they were with a group of people and this guy had drawn a sheep, and then they suggested that G draw one too, and so she did, and everyone liked her drawing better, and this guy seemed upset about it. i think that's sort of cute. that might hurt my feelings too.

i talked to the person i like's girlfriend and we're having coffee sometime this week. she seemed very excited. i feel like the more i think about how much i want to be friends with her, the less i think about how much i want to date her boyfriend. it's weird.

i don't remember if i mentioned this before, but i ran into a guy i went to high school with at a gas station near my house. the second time i ran into him i gave him my number and said we should hang out. that was a couple weeks ago, i think, and he finally texted me last night. he's nice to me and he has drugs, so that's fine. maybe i really will hang out with him. i guess it would be something to do.
