What Is A Friend With Benefits? I Mean Come On, Really.

So let's see. I've had an interesting few days to report. First the unimportant stuff (so to speak). After handing over my precious Xbox to these people get fixed, I got this call saying that there was nothing wrong with the system and that I would have to come in and pay for it to be returned to me because apparently she thought (Daniella) that I was making it all up. UPDATE: that's incorrect. Sunday night, I get an email from one of the guys in the shop saying that the repair on my Xbox has been completed and now I owe them 60 pounds for the service....? Considering there was nothing that was supposed to be wrong with it in the first place, this is news. So I called them yesterday to discover that apparently they had discovered that I was not making it up and that yes my box had indeed Red ringed on me. So they fixed it. Supposedly. But now when I'm trying to pay them I realize they sent me the request to the US bank account, and I'd rather pay through UK but now I can't so anyway I'll have to wait till the money comes all the way back around because I put an extra e in the email. Fucking stupid.

Anyway. This week our grades should be out for our Spring classes, and I'm just curious as to what I got. I'm not in any danger of failing, as I figure, as both of these classes I actually cared enough to participate in unlike theory last semester. I mean yes, I like Sharon Norris, but I mean it's theory, not my thing. (We'll get to that later) So that should be interesting. It'd be really nice to get a first in both classes this time around, but I suppose I'll be satisfied with 65 and up this time around.

I invited Jon over for dinner tonight and he came through and we had a blast. He's really nice. I wish I had met him earlier when I got here, because he's really nice and I think we have a good time together, but I'm not even going to entertain any thoughts like that, as I'm leaving he knows it. But he came over and I cooked lemon pepper fried pork chops, new potatoes, salad with peppers and mushroom topping, macaroni and cheese, and broccoli. I went all out. I don't really know why. Maybe I just felt like doing it. Not sure. But it was fun and the food was good.

Speaking of going home, guess who I heard from today. Steven. Like two years ago Steven from VA Beach Steven. I had totally forgotten him to be honest, I just knew his screename of Etienne from MySpace. He messaged me the other day saying he missed me and to hit him up. So I did, and we started talking and he remembers me from two years ago! Crazy. Even crazier is the fact that he still likes me....maybe I have a reason to go home after all. But I'm wondering do I just make him a friend with benefits or something more? I'm wondering is the part when I lay my intentions bare and let him know and just expect devastation all the way around? I've never been in the situation where I say something and then someone says something right back and it's just perfect like it always is in the movies. Granted I've had people tell me amazing things (Paul...) but with him being married and all, it really doesn't count. So now I'm wondering. So I just continue to flirt with Steve innocently or really let him know that I'd love for him to become mine for good??
