Points of UST

For some reason these guys always come in groups of three, yes?

1. Very different walk of life (with beyond-fascinating stories), significant age gap, not at all what I've believed to be my cup of tea, yet the best and quickest rapport out of anyone I've met in a long time. I can open up about anything; trust solid as gold.

2. As previously mentioned, Phil-esque. Age gap is smaller but still surprisingly significant, and, more importantly, turns out to be already married. I'm disturbed that this is even persisting on this list, and have been trying to keep distance once I became aware. But unfortunately...

3. About a year and half younger with a pleasant face and the body type of a female supermodel. Extremely interesting to explore (and make fun of). Good overlap in music and political stance.

Fortunately, 2 is not a problem. 3 probably would have interesting potential if not for 1. And 1...I'm both scared and interested to see where this could eventually go. Three years.

Progress

...is incremental and measurable by the week. I feel to be in a constant state of awe.

Class size is so small that we are essentially the same 9 people who go to the exact same classes five days a week. I'm living a reminder of what things were like in high school and earlier, with anticipation for certain candy in his wrapper-of-the-day.

Once upon a time, there was a Phil.

In other news, I met 白玄, who was essentially the first person I got to know in the circle back in November '12, the one who christened me 腰果 in the first place. I go to her place every weekend to button-mash Brave Soldiers...and fall in love with Saga's 3D model every time I look. One day I will make my own.

Meanwhile, it's quite frustrating to under-perform. To have a few days pass, and feel myself under-performing whilst still in the middle of performing.

Progress.
