Stalkers, Ballet and 'Rent'

So, I've got a lot to talk about. First of all, I have a "stalker." Well... sort of. Let me start from the beginning. I was at school on Tuesday and I went to the library to get on Facebook. I was on there for about 30 minutes when out of nowhere a message appears in my inbox. Now, that's not exactly something unusual, since lately I've been talking to some of my friends via FB mail, so I figured it was either one of them or the choir director at my church. So I went to my inbox, and was greatly surprised to find a message from a guy that I didn't know. This, of course, caught me completely off guard, mostly because it was from a guy that wasn't my friend on FB, a complete stranger. That alone would have made most people automatically delete the message, but not me. I opened it up... and was, once again, very surprised. Basically the message said that he had seen me around campus and that he knew I was an interesting person, but that it was too difficult for him to approach me. He said that he knew I was on Facebook, so he looked me up and he was right; I was a very interesting and fun person, cause we had a lot in common. He said he was sorry that he had to contact me through Facebook, but that he wasn't very brave, so would I be his friend?

Well... what do you say to something like that? And the funny thing is I remember seeing him on campus before, so I recognized him when I saw his profile picture. But what I don't get is how he knew my name? I already checked his profile and looked to see if he is friends with anyone who is also friends with me, but he didn't have any. So it's got me completely dumb-founded... how did he know my name? Did someone who knows me tell him? I talked to Nick about it, and he said, "You have a stalker" which made me laugh, but also made me wonder...

I accepted Taylor's friend request, of course. He seems like a decent, nice guy who really does just want to be friends. And he's my age (his birthday is in June, so that makes me a month older than him, but whatever) and we do seem to have a lot in common. I have yet to actually talk to him face-to-face, but I saw him this afternoon on campus, and we waved to each other. Then I saw him again in the gym when I was on my way to ballet, and we said hi, but that was it (for one, I was in a hurry to get changed for class, and he was talking to a friend of his, so we both were busy at the time.) I would love the chance to get to talk to him in person, but I don't know. Obviously, we both have different class schedules, but I might see him around the fitness center, since he's taking a karate class. And then, when I got on Facebook we started talking on chat, and it turns out we do have some things in common; he likes anime, and so do I. I just hope that I don't scare him off, like I seem to do with every other guy who comes into my life (with the exception of my friend Robert, and Nick.)

Today was my first official day of Ballet class. I went this morning with my mom to a dance store in Kingwood called Fouette and bought my leotard, tights and shoes. The leotard is black (YAY!!! :D) and the tights are pink (eh... not my favorite color, because it doesn't usually look good on me, but at least the pink isn't super bright, it's more of a pastel pink) and my shoes are pink. When I went to the changing room and put the whole outfit on, I, honestly, felt very exposed; it felt like I wasn't wearing anything O_o but I sure did look cute in it! :) And for once I felt somewhat graceful, which is something new to me. We did a lot of stretches, and did a few basic positions and that was it for the day, but I can already tell that this is going to be my favorite class this semester :)

I've been listening to my 'Rent' CD a lot lately. For one, I have several favorite songs on there that are just the most fun to sing along and dance to, like "Out Tonight", "Take Me or Leave Me", and "La Vie Boheme" and they put me in a good mood (especially "Out Tonight". Man, I love that song! If I were singing karaoke, I would definitely want to sing that song :D) The thing about 'Rent' is, for me personally, I didn't really like the movie, but I LOVE the music (that's how I am with 'Sweeney Todd' too; didn't like the movie, but loved the music.) Anyway, I would love to talk more about 'Rent' and its awesomeness, but Robert has been trying to call my landline, so I need to get off the computer and call him back. Until next time :) Later, peeps!
