Erinnerung an die Marie A.
1
An jenem Tag im blauen Mond September
Still unter einem jungen Pflaumenbaum
Da hielt ich sie, die stille bleiche Liebe
In meinem Arm wie einen holden Traum.
Und über uns im schönen Sommerhimmel
War eine Wolke, die ich lange sah
Sie war sehr weiß und ungeheuer oben
Und als ich aufsah, war sie nimmer da.
2
Seit jenem Tag sind viele, viele Monde
Geschwommen still hinunter und vorbei
Die Pflaumenbäume sind wohl abgehauen
Und fragst du mich, was mit der Liebe sei?
So sag ich dir: Ich kann mich nicht erinnern.
Und doch, gewiß, ich weiß schon, was du meinst
Doch ihr Gesicht, das weiß ich wirklich nimmer
Ich weiß nur mehr: Ich küsste es dereinst.
3
Und auch den Kuss, ich hätt' ihn längst vergessen
Wenn nicht die Wolke da gewesen wär
Die weiß ich noch und werd ich immer wissen
Sie war sehr weiß und kam von oben her.
Die Pflaumenbäume blühn vielleicht noch immer
Und jene Frau hat jetzt vielleicht das siebte Kind
Doch jene Wolke blühte nur Minuten
Und als ich aufsah, schwand sie schon im Wind.
(Bertolt Brecht)

Well, ever since I can remember, love has always been my direction in life and its one of te few things Ive always cared about.
But anyway, I’ll try to sum my story up and then ask for my advice. Lol
Ok well it starts when I moved to Georgia my 6 th grade year, and I saw this guy and for some reason I was attracted to him. And then I found out he had a girl friend and all that, so I backed off and didn’t try to totally procue him. SO then the next year (7th grade, duh. Haha) I started to procue him. I became friends with just about all of his friends and everything, but still…nothing. He never talked to me. Until he found out from one of our friends that I liked him, and he had no idea who I was. SO then that Christmas I got very crafty and found a way to tlak to him, but I also want to be really nice (make a good first impression). So I gave him a signed My Chemical Romance poster because at the time that was his absolute fave band (and it still is ahah). And I was such a pussy and wasn’t able to give it to him myself, so I and my friend give it to him, and about 15 min alter he came into my home room and thanked me and that was seriously one of the best 3 minof my life! :D Then he left and since I had to walk by his locker every day after school to get to my locker, that day he stoped me and had this HUGE smile on his face and said thankyou! That literally made my day AWSOME! And then after that I had a really hard to talking to him, because Im so shy! And then the next year when I went to Project Rev. I got to meet HIM because I got to go backstage to see my cousin (hes the drummer of my chemical romance, Bob). So I got my crush a signed HIM cd for Christmas, which after that it was if all 8 th grade year was down hill form there because he wouldsay things like leave me alone (which I did), and fat and stuff that was hurtful and such.
Thennn the next year we went to two different High schools, and I tried to move on and I got a few bf’s but other then that I still liked him deep down. So, then the next year (this year) up until about two weeks ago, one of my friends that is friends with him started to talk to him about me, and told him that I was truly sorry for all the drama in middle school and other then that he was really sweet when talking abou me.
And since my birthday is in about a week or so and Im having a party, so our friend invited him and he actually said he would see if he could! Which totally threw me off!!!! But in the end he isn’t able to make it but told her that he will give me a hug and wish my happy birthday.
SO can someone please help me out with this?
Im not really sure what to do, because I really want to go out with him (sinc eIve liked hiom for 5 years), but I don’t want to mess things up…again! So what should I do?
And how can I smoothly ask him to ahng out and ask for his number, withought sceeming weird?
Also, if you have any other good advice that could help me with his guy, that would be great!
(please no mean suggestions)

However, I saw her maybe twice since college began, and since, we haven't really talked or seen each other. She's studying/busy, I get that. but with other free time she has in between class after weekends etc, she's with this other guy who is her new best friend I guess. (she's definitely not into him romantically) Which is fine, you can have more than one best friend, but we're not even friends anymore at this point.
We literally NEVER talk, and I've tired numerous times, texting msn in person etc, trying to talk to her saying hi asking her how she is etc, and she always gives me one word answers and kind of goes back to her own thing, so i have left her alone.
I'm really frustrated and mad and sad that I just kind of lost my "best friend". She's never there for me when i need her anymore, and i feel like i dont know her anymore. And she definitely doesn't know me anymore. She treats me like a stranger basically.
The song "ignorance" by paramore is how i feel/things are right now haha.
HELP! What happened here? have I lost my best friend???

I've been friends with this guy for 5 years now, we met in sociology class my junior year of hs and his senior year. From there, we talked all the time,sat together during lunch and eventually hung out on a regular basis every weekend. Other people were around some times but the majority of it was spent just the two of us hanging out,eating, seeing a movie or bowling,etc... He became the one person i told everything to and viceversa,and he knew when something was bothering me.
November '07 we saw Beowulf in 3d and that was the last time we hung out because he got a girlfriend. She's 5 years younger than him, shes 17 now and hes 22.(turns 23 in april) Because shes young i think thats why he tended to stay away and not hang out with me at all, or many of his other friends. I could be wrong about this of course,be he used to like me and i have reasons to suspect he still does thus wanting to distance himself while hes dating her.
Now, every so often when one of us misses the other we'll email,talk on aim,etc..with each other so it really doesn't seem so bad.
In the beginning of their relationship,and a few months ago on aim he accused me of flirting with him when i clearly wasn't. So i don't know if hes still hoping,or if its just one of those things where hes letting me know "hey you're flirting stop it."
Over the past 2 years that they've been dating i've been happy for him because he really deserves it after how all the other girls he liked treated him. But sometimes i tend to get really angry and upset over it because i miss doing stuff with him,but its got to the point where i question if i actually do like him or not.(i have no plans to tell him of such things while hes dating her)
And i doubt it means anything, but a lot of people we know insist we'll get married and constantly used to ask us if we were dating yet. Some even thought we were...
So i guess my question is, how can you tell the difference between liking them as a friend or more than a friend. Or, how do you deal with them ignoring you for the majority of the time while they have a gf/bf?
And has anyone gone through this before?

I met Kari a few months ago at The Bean and gave her a copy of the shot I took when she performed at open mic.
She's trying to make something of a music career, so we took some promo shots for her website this afternoon.

Stephanie also has a good deal of experience with lighting (and is a Photoshop master), so we played around a bit in the basement studio. Her edits are way better than mine.
I need to figure out a way to smooth out the "seamless" background paper in real life as opposed to Photoshop, though. There are some ripples in it.

Stephanie kinda popped up out of nowhere and we immediately hit it off. We really liked each others' work and decided to meet up for coffee and pictures. Also found out that we enjoy a lot of the same music and keep the same hours.
Uncanny, really.
