*...rumours n such...*

Ok, I know it's been FOREVER since I posted, but honestly, I'm not really "chewing"  on things as much as I used to. I mean, a few things are floating around in my life, but I don't find my self anxious or torn about them and therefore don't really need to write it all out to see if anyone can shed some light on my problems.

However, (there's always a catch, isn't there), I'm in kind of an awkward situation right now. I was "seeing" a guy a bit over the past couple of months - nothing serious... remained free to explore other avenues - when suddenly he deletes his facebook (tells me he's doing so) but then basically disappears off the face of the planet. I figure gf, right? Then he comes back with some weird-fangled story about ... welll, I'll respect his privacy and just say it was a viable explanation... and yeah. So, no big deal, right? I figure he had a life but he gaves excuses claiming he didn't have a life and yada yada yada. So now my guard is up koz, well, personally, it'd be a lot more normal for him to disappear koz he's focussed on a girl. Well, whatever's whatever and then one of his buddies txts me out of the blue to mention there's major drama koz the guy I was "seeing" who gave me the weird excuse about not being around is suddenly in big trouble with some girl for being tagged on facebook with some other girl. Ok, now none of this really bothers me because people should have lives and date and things like that. But now, I dunno, things are just tarnished for me a bit because 1) there's a crazy friend more involved in spreading dirt about his friend than helping his friend make wise decisions and 2) well, the guy's not openly admitting that he's dating and that worries me. *sigh* he seemed like one of the good ones, too.

So my question is do I see if it ever comes up/he asks to see me again or do I write him off based on what his crazy weird friend is saying?

One of my student's favourite quotes is "you're doing it wrong"... I'm not sure where it came from or when it started, but in order to get a laugh in class it'll be said a couple times a day - most often when someone really is doing it wrong. When I tried to figure out how my basketball team had a 1-9 season record for wins, 0-4 tournament record, and had only 3 wins total under their belt (one regular season, 2 during tournament games), and yet KEPT WINNING IN PLAYOFFS... one of my students said, "you're doing it wrong" LOL

But I must be doing something right. Though we lost 9 out of 10 games, we landed in C division, won our first playoff by forfeit (it was a fog day and the coach didn't want to call the individual players to organize rides) and ended up in round 2 of the playoffs. We won THAT game 26-25 after playing some really sloppy defence in the last 3 minutes and letting 3 baskets fly by... talk about a close game.

Tonight however, at the semi-final game we started up by 14 and stayed up the whole time... we had a great team effort and finished the game 33-20. We're off to the Championship game tomorrow. I've never been to finals so this was all new for me. I'm also so nervous/excited for tomorrow and exhausted after a VERY LONG SEASON that I'm hoping we win and I'm totally looking forward to moving on with my life. Report cards are sneaking up on me ever so slowly and I keep getting more and more (albeit awesome) offers to be involved in different projects.

Anyway, I'd like to thing maybe I'm not "doing it wrong" but rather, doing it somewhat-right. LOL - lame, I know!

*...on leading busy lives...*

Is it possible everyone else has someone to turn to in times of need? Is it possible I haven't been there for a friend when they've needed me? Is that why no one is here now?
