applications, boise, dancing, ... love?

sterling scholar applications are due tomorrow, questbridge next week, and national merit the week after. bleargh!
the past two weeks was one of the most hecktic (note the spelling, it was heck) times of my life. I was behind in everything, especially sleep. now i'm feeling good, cause i slept all afternoon. i designed my school's sports page, and i had a blast doing that.
i went to boise and back for cross country, and it was a load of fun. i had a bit of a weird thing though. jennii... well we went up to boise in different seats and came back in the same one. nothing happened, but i need to be careful with where i let us go. i want to get to be good friends with her, but i need to show that that's all. it's a hard line to draw sometimes.
dancing with eaven is starting to get AMAZING!!!! i'm starting to realize i need to be more decisive with my dancing, so no being unclear on what i want to do. I tried it a little bit last time we practiced, and it was like... SHA-BAM! we fit together like grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. it was probably the best i've ever danced. now i just need to work on stringing moves together, so it makes the dance flow.

speaking of eaven, she's amazing. she had a party a week or two ago, and my feet were cold during the movie, so i got a blanket. her mom made a joke, and we ended up holding hands. just before this, i'd been having trouble resisting the gorgeous eaven, so i was purty happy. in the next day or two, i felt sorta weird, cause i wanted to keep holding her but i knew i couldn't without messing things up. so when we'd dance, i'd skip hugging her goodbye to keep myself from not letting go.
anyway... i asked her to go to my brother's concert with me, and we had a blast. right at the beginning, i thought about getting close to her, but i decided it wasn't the best time, and she'd not like it. so we had an amazing time, joking around and making up stories. my parents showed up, and we ate some junk food. basically it was a fun night as friends. then came my favorite part. i was driving her home, and she asked "i was wondering if you could drive with one hand"

to make a long story short, i liked that concert. a lot

and my last news is i talked to tonia. that makes me happy. we talked a lot about her and her boyfriend, and i hope she figures things out all right. and we talked about her future, and a lot of great stuff. one thing i need to do better is when listening, be more receptive. i push my ideas too much before i understand exactly what's happening. but i talked to her for a couple of hours, and it surprises me how much she's grown since the summer.

well, i'm basically very happy, and almost tired, so i should probably sleep. i wish you all a very merry christmas. and a happy new year.
