Quandries

Some quagmires presented by the past few days:

-Catie's new boyfriend (as in a few months) Paul looks like he's going to be long-term. He just spent the week up here with her. However, every single time that I have left them, I have had an awkward good-bye with Paul. Here's why:
  1. Catie and I are best friends and are thus at at least a hug goodbye stage.
  2. I have known Paul for approximately 100 combined hours of social time. Not a lot in the grand scheme of things.
  3. Paul has passed the best friend screening and been accepted by both Krystin and myself.
Therefore, I feel like I shouldn't shake his hand, because we're friends, not partners in a law firm. I don't want him hug because I don't know what his physical bubble is with other men. Plus, we haven't known each other that long. But, I feel like that he's too much within the inner circle for me to simply wave at him as he leaves...that seems like a snub. However, I have awkwardly waved at him after hugging Catie every single time. And it just doesn't feel right. So, before the next time I see him, I have got to figure out what and how to work this.

-I, by my nutrition report, consumed 9,000 mg of sodium in one day. How did I not die? Or piss ocean water?

-I only slept three hours last night, yet I'm still cognizant and fairly high functioning. At what point will I fall over and die.

5 months. More than a few, less than half a year. Douchebag. :)

Catie quipped something in the general direction of her father this weekend because he wouldn't hug me goodbye. I don't see why you should be immune from that.

In any case, it doesn't bother me, and I felt like we should shake hands or arm pat or something... but yeah, we'll work on it. I'll most likely be back for your graduation in May. If you don't hear me yelling to congratulate you as you receive your diploma, it's because Catie and Krystin are much louder.
