Hello again.

So I got interviewed for the Campanile, which is pretty cool. This is a link to the article, if you're so inclined. The girl who wrote the story, junior Gloria Yu, sent me a Facebook message with a bunch of questions in it.

And so then we kept talking a little bit, and she seemed a little flirty, so I played along. But I didn't think much of her.

And then I called her. I called her at 11:30 my time, but she was in New York, so it was 2:30 for her. It was the first time I'd heard her voice.

And we talked for five hours. I was up until 4:30 and her until 7:30.

She's amazing.

I'll admit, she's pretty different. Eliza is pretty compatible with guys in general, and more guys like her than she gives herself credit for. But Gloria seems completely compatible with ME, just me.

She loves awkwardness. I love awkwardness.
She loves abbrieving things. I love abbrieving things.
She's an amazing writer, both journalistically and opinion....ally.
She says "that's what she said." I say that.
We both love laughing at ourselves.
She likes Spanish.
...she's kinda cute. *blushes*

I told Zareen and Hadas and Kira because they asked, and I can trust them. When I came to school today, they said I was bouncy. And I was - I was happy, nervous, excited, all of today.

I met her today, for the first time. She drove me home in her car (!!!!!) and we sat outside my house, in her car (!!!!!!!), for maybe an hour. It was so fun.

We just talked awkwardly (talkedwardly?), and it was great. That hour easily made my whole day.

I left, and I went into mah house. And I turned on some music and I just danced. I looked like a total idiot. It was fun. I was happy. I laughed with myself.

My only concern is that she's faking it. It seems too good to be true. But that's my only evidence that's she's faking it.

But there are certain things about her that make me think that she is at least interested in hanging out with me...

• She talked on the phone with me for 5 hours, until 7:30 AM.
  
• She drove me home (!!!!!!!!!).
  
• She always replies to my messages.
  
• She wants to hang out with me tomorrow and Wednesday.
  
• We're going to lunch at Palo Alto Sol on Friday.
  

And what if she doesn't turn out to like me back? Well that would be mildly awkward and disappointing.

I just really hope this works.

I could use this. I hope she could too. If she isn't faking it, which I don't think she is, I'll be so happy again. This was just one day, one day, and ask my friends - I was the happiest I've been in a long time. My romance life sort of went downhill after Eliza asked for that break, I have to say. Took a year, just like last time.

Maybe I'll look back on this and think I was crazy and this didn't work out. I hope that doesn't happen.

But if I am looking back on this, hi, Future Evan. I see you've really cleaned yourself up. But what is with that hair? Come on.

I'm probably thinking about this way too much. But she's all I've been thinking about recently.

Cross your fingers.
