A tragic break from 24/7 sameoldsameoldsameoldsameold. I wonder how many other "tragic breaks" are being planned right now for other places in the world?

And yet ever since last semester, every single time we cross paths he'll see me and either turn his head away really fast or look down. There was even one time he was coming out of a classroom I was passing by and when he saw me he was like a deer in headlights and dipped right back into the room...so what's his deal?
And I'm pretty sure it's not because he "could be attracted to me but he's just shy or whatever", because I overheard him while I was working my desk shift in the student center a few days ago, talking to somebody about a date he'd gone on with this girl, and how awesome she was, and how they have plans for more dates in the future. less
Why do parents insist on dumb vacations? Driving across half the country to look at a hole in AZ, or going to some fake village where people dress goofy and speak like jerks?... moreWhy do parents insist on dumb vacations?

We've always stayed in touch, and I even used to watch her child after school a few years back. She can be somewhat moody at times, but I've always overlooked that and we've shared laughs and similar interests. I see her on FB a lot, (although I rarely post myself) and she's always inviting someone out with her either from her new job, or another friend she's also known for years. She has not personally asked me to hang out/get together in about a year now.. last year I was the only one asking/inviting. By late last fall I noticed it, and kind of backed off. She has said these last couple months of the new year, 'Let's hang out and see each other'.. but still no text/FB / call etc. I don't know what to do, should I completely back off, as it seems for a year I'm the only one who has shown interest in staying friends... ON the other hand I know she has said twice recently, 'lets do lunch' and I just still kind of wait to... less
Bit cold today but the colours are fabulous; the yellows of forsythia, daffodils and the whites and pinks of magnolia and chinese blossom trees, along with blue skies.
