(5:34:32 PM) Sakura: does she still want to talk to me?
(5:35:07 PM) Eric: it might help....but you might not like what she has to say either :S
(5:35:30 PM) Sakura: She's going to scold at me isn't she???
(5:35:52 PM) Eric: basically. something along the lines of "Quit hurting my son. Either be his friend or don't" :S
(5:36:16 PM) Eric: And honestly, I do wish we could still be friends....even if it means we're just kinda distant friends, but heh
(5:37:43 PM) Sakura: my god... I don't really want to get into an arguement with your mom...
(5:38:28 PM) Sakura: she hates me doesn't she?
(5:38:32 PM) Eric: well, you see....i was crying really hard....she heard me, and stuff and yeah. i can go get her or i can leave her be
(5:38:38 PM) Eric: hate? not really
(5:38:48 PM) Eric: until i cried like that they didnt even thank that badly of you
(5:39:19 PM) Sakura: God I feel terrible...
(5:39:38 PM) Sakura: it's not like you're the only one hurting.... but I just had to do it....
(5:39:42 PM) Sakura: you understand that right?
(5:39:53 PM) Eric: to an extent, yes
(5:40:18 PM) Eric: i just dont understand why we cant just tone it way down....well maybe i kinda do, but still...is it possible to just.....tone it way down rather than just completely stop? :S
(5:40:52 PM) Eric: This is hurting the both of us wayyyyyy more than it should be
(5:41:52 PM) Sakura: I'm really really sorry but I just have to be completely free of you....
(5:42:08 PM) Sakura: and vice versa...
(5:42:27 PM) Sakura: I want you to be able to let go of me and doing that is not going to help at all
(5:43:18 PM) Eric: i mean honestly....even a few weeks ago....if another girl came along, i would ask her out and stuff....its just that nobody else has come along :S
(5:44:23 PM) Sakura: no... I'm really sorry...
(5:45:39 PM) Eric: why? because you know if we have any contact it'll grow stronger and stronger sooner or later....like the bond just pulls us together?
(5:46:02 PM) Sakura: yes
(5:46:27 PM) Sakura: and at the moment... I don't want that....
(5:46:35 PM) Sakura: I told you I have some growing up to do...
(5:47:10 PM) Eric: yeah. so....we imprinted on each other......its like we cant stay away from each other XD
(5:47:34 PM) Eric: i do think it hurts me a LOT more than it hurts you though, doesn'
(5:47:38 PM) Eric: 't it?
(5:47:50 PM) Sakura: yes.... because you're the one who imprinted on me
(5:48:47 PM) Eric: yeah. so....do you have ANY suggestions for getting through this?
(5:49:48 PM) Sakura: I really don't... I'm just trying to be normal though I have a feeling that I'm about to break down any moment now
(5:50:58 PM) Eric: yeah. I've already broken down pretty much.
(5:51:22 PM) Sakura: you've already been down... the only way to go is up...
(5:51:30 PM) Sakura: i still have to hit rock bottom...
(5:52:20 PM) Eric: yeah. i hope you get through it as quickly as possible. i'll still be here if you need me or anything - as far as I'm concerned, we're still friends...just kind of on-hold friends eh?
(5:52:34 PM) Sakura: something like that...
(5:52:36 PM) Sakura: ^^
(5:52:53 PM) Sakura: I'm more worried about you since you have the harder side....
(5:52:58 PM) Eric: would it....be possible for you to promise me that this isn't the end?
(5:53:09 PM) Sakura: it's not...
(5:53:17 PM) Sakura: we'll meet again remember???
(5:53:22 PM) Sakura: it's impossible for us not to...
(5:53:38 PM) Eric: yeah. you'll email me eventually or something :S
(5:54:11 PM) Eric: and yeah, i do have the harder side. i want to go into detail, but i dont want to make you feel worse
(5:54:44 PM) Sakura: if you think it will help then I'm all ears
(5:55:31 PM) Eric: well...i mean, i was crying really hard earlier....I mean, I would say it's probably the worst emotional pain I've ever been through
(5:56:45 PM) Eric: it's....just terrible....we were so close, you were my best friend.....and now i have no idea who im gonna talk to about some of that stuff and all
(5:57:06 PM) Sakura: you'll find someone ^^
(5:57:13 PM) Sakura: there are millions of people in the world...
(5:57:22 PM) Sakura: it can't only be me that you can talk to..
(5:58:06 PM) Eric: yeah. kind words. i need those right now.
(5:59:03 PM) Eric: chris is over. he's been helping too. when I'm like I am right this second it's not too bad....but I was talking to John about it and I just completely broke down....it just overwhelmed me
(5:59:39 PM) Sakura: see there are people everywhere who will help you....
(5:59:42 PM) Eric: it almost feels like.....a part of me that i've relied on is dying
(6:00:14 PM) Sakura: just think of it as going to sleep rather than dying
(6:00:47 PM) Eric: could you......describe your pain perhaps? it may sound sadisitc, but it's like it helps to know that this hurts you too....usually
(6:01:12 PM) Sakura: not necessarily pain....
(6:01:24 PM) Sakura: it's more like there's something missing and I keep on looking for it...
(6:01:32 PM) Sakura: until I remind myself that it's you...
(6:01:57 PM) Eric: but you WANTED this (sorry, random...erm... "wtf?!" moment)
(6:02:15 PM) Eric: or wait......no, its not that you wanted it at all is it?
(6:02:22 PM) Eric: its that......there was just no other choice
(6:02:23 PM) Sakura: I know... Doesn't mean I wasn't going to be hurt as well
(6:02:29 PM) Sakura: yes
(6:04:03 PM) Eric: yeah. so...for what it;s worth.........i love you
(6:04:19 PM) Sakura: I love you too ^^ (check my status :P )
(6:04:30 PM) Eric: cant see your status....youre not on my list :S
(6:04:59 PM) Sakura: I'm sorry that I hurt you... i hope that when we meet again in the future we can face each other with a smile on our faces... I love you don't ever forget that ^^
(6:05:33 PM) Eric: wow sakura....im crying a bit.....but.....these are happy tears
(6:06:01 PM) Eric: so even when we're not talking for months or whatever....we'll still love each other actually?
(6:06:12 PM) Sakura: yup...
(6:06:16 PM) Sakura: like Bella and Jacob ne???
(6:06:24 PM) Eric: like Bella and Jacob.
(6:06:42 PM) Sakura: though I'm still not sure whether I love you the way did to me... but I'll find out ^^
(6:06:48 PM) Eric: so i guess the love goes along with the bond.....cant break either
(6:07:00 PM) Eric: ok, for the record....i NEVER LOVED you as more than a friend
(6:07:06 PM) Eric: i LIKED you as more than a friend ;)
(6:07:11 PM) Sakura: you KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!!
(6:07:14 PM) Sakura: :P
(6:07:14 PM) ***Eric is saving up the L-Bomb :P
(6:07:33 PM) Eric: who knows....maybe youll be the one to get the L-Bomb XD
(6:07:46 PM) Sakura: the what bomb???
(6:07:48 PM) Eric: but yeah, so i guess the love goes along with the bond.....cant break either
(6:07:56 PM) Sakura: exactly
(6:07:59 PM) Eric: L-Bomb = telling a girl I love her romantically for the first time
(6:08:06 PM) Sakura: ah...
(6:08:08 PM) Eric: AND actually feeling it
(6:08:37 PM) Eric: i dont use the L-word lightly. even when i use it on you, it points to a very powerful emotion....non-romantic, but still
(6:08:43 PM) Eric: the romantic part comes with the liking
(6:09:10 PM) Sakura: well it's not a word that's to thrown around carelessly in the first place ^^
(6:09:15 PM) Sakura: to be*
(6:09:16 PM) Eric: exactly.
(6:09:31 PM) Sakura: I don't throw it around carelessly either :P
(6:09:32 PM) Eric: but it applies to us......because, it just does......that's the way we feel, right?
(6:09:33 PM) Sakura: just FYI
(6:09:36 PM) Sakura: yup
(6:10:11 PM) Eric: yeah. it will help knowing that you actually do love me and are able to admit it. :) i assume youve never told another non-related guy before you loved him....in ANY way?
(6:10:33 PM) Sakura: unless you count Wuv/luv then no...
(6:10:56 PM) Eric: i meant whatever word points to that incredibly powerful emotion
(6:11:00 PM) Eric: not the little joking stuff :P
(6:11:04 PM) Sakura: then no
(6:11:15 PM) Eric: ahhh i see.
(6:11:32 PM) Eric: maybe we are soulmates.....and youre just not ready for that yet XD sounds logical to me :P
(6:11:41 PM) Eric: hell, _I_ am probably not ready for it
(6:11:55 PM) Sakura: yup... so we both have some growing up and thinking to do...
(6:12:31 PM) Eric: yep. so ok, one of my last questions....maybe THE last, i dunno........how likely do you think it is that we're soulmates? Just curious here
(6:13:09 PM) Sakura: quite likely.... around 30 - 40 % ???
(6:13:36 PM) Sakura: you?
(6:13:54 PM) Eric: I....honestly never put numbers to it....because I didn't want to get my hopes up ;P
(6:14:01 PM) Eric: but id probably say around the same
(6:14:06 PM) Sakura: ^^
(6:14:18 PM) Eric: so if thats true.....then damn, its pretty likely that we'll be together at some point XD
(6:14:33 PM) Sakura: don't scare me now... I'm not ready for that...
(6:14:54 PM) Eric: did I say be together? I meant be together as in exist in the same room *shifty eyes*
(6:15:03 PM) Sakura: lol...
(6:15:21 PM) Sakura: please do tell your mom that I'm really sorry for what I did and I hope that she can forgive what i did to you...
(6:15:39 PM) Eric: ok
(6:15:58 PM) Sakura: cause you never know next time we meet might be there in Texas and she'll just start screaming bloody murder and pull a gun and shoot me....
(6:16:06 PM) Sakura: I'm not ready to die yet
(6:16:07 PM) Eric: LOL
(6:16:32 PM) Eric: i assume the next time we meet will be you emailing me hopefully no more than 2-3 months from now XD
(6:16:44 PM) Sakura: we'll see ^^
(6:16:48 PM) Eric: i know. ;P
(6:17:30 PM) Eric: so....would you mind too terribly if i emailed you random questions / venting during the....erm grieving process or....would you rather just cut it out completely?
(6:18:00 PM) Sakura: you can email but don't expect a reply....
(6:18:27 PM) Sakura: you see it doesn't really help the cause... IMO
(6:18:39 PM) Eric: yeah. that was basically my question :P
(6:18:53 PM) Eric: this still seems nuts to me, you realize this right?
(6:18:58 PM) Sakura: yes
(6:19:21 PM) Eric: its weird....sometimes i completly understand....and other times it makes no sense
(6:20:09 PM) Eric: i guess ill have to find my own way to describe it in my head. but yeah, mom was going on about how i cant let you do this to me and how no girl is worth this and all....and im just like..............well, this is only a temporary thing....who's to say she's not worth it? :S
(6:20:43 PM) Eric: that was back when i was going completely nuts....see, she gave me a pill....half a tranquilizer.....and that probably sent me lower than i needed to go
(6:20:55 PM) Sakura: :O
(6:21:43 PM) Eric: yeah. so i think part of my problem NOW is the freaking pill's fault
(6:21:51 PM) Eric: see if i take those stupid things again -_-
(6:22:01 PM) Eric: it would work if i was in my really pissed mood.......but yeah
(6:22:05 PM) Sakura: it'll wear out....
(6:22:09 PM) Eric: yeah it will
(6:22:16 PM) Sakura: don't take anymore
(6:22:20 PM) Eric: oh....i meant to ask you......about your friends
(6:22:21 PM) Sakura: it might drive you crazy
(6:22:23 PM) Eric: jam and aubs
(6:22:33 PM) Eric: am i supposed to cut contact with them or not or what?
(6:22:39 PM) Sakura: your choice...
(6:22:47 PM) Sakura: I don't mind if you keep contact with them...
(6:23:04 PM) Sakura: it might or it might not help
(6:23:07 PM) Eric: yeah. and that would provide an easy medium for getting back together when the time comes XD
(6:23:15 PM) Eric: yeah. thats my thing - will it help or wont it?
(6:23:22 PM) Sakura: I don't know either...
(6:23:34 PM) Eric: i mean, i harbor no ill feelings toward jam whatsoever, even though she was basically against my side
(6:23:46 PM) Eric: course aubrey is always the more available anyway
(6:24:11 PM) Eric: i think.....it would be ok as long as we avoid the topic of you......which would be like impossible i think.....
(6:25:15 PM) Eric: because....it's driving me nuts....it's like i want to forget you (don't misunderstand - i NEVER EVER want to REALLY forget you...I mean as in not think about you constantly)......but I want to remember you too
(6:25:31 PM) Eric: I kinda wish you had sent me SOMETHING to remember you by XD
(6:25:42 PM) Sakura: you might get something for your birthday ^^
(6:25:46 PM) Eric: that's why ive kinda always wanted like a solid, permanent object from you :P
(6:25:53 PM) Sakura: I have to return the favor anyway.... XD
(6:26:17 PM) Sakura: of course that's unless your mom receives it and burns it before you get it
(6:26:37 PM) Eric: haha yeah. i honestly hope those years turn into months instead, but well :S
(6:27:12 PM) Eric: being in only minimal contact for years is an annoying thought at this point :S
(6:27:30 PM) Eric: then again, I have a feeling........you're not gonna stick to the plan really.......the plan will change, ne?
(6:27:42 PM) Sakura: I don't know...
(6:27:48 PM) Sakura: I honestly don't...
(6:27:55 PM) Sakura: maybe...
(6:28:06 PM) Eric: this is one time where id rather have an "I don't know" than a "no the plan wont change" XD
(6:28:28 PM) Eric: because the plan....is long and annoying.....and to me, theres like nowhere to go but up
(6:28:34 PM) Eric: so dont know > years
(6:28:35 PM) Eric: XD
(6:29:46 PM) Eric: but yeah. so....i guess the only thing that's left (and I'm sure I'll have more questions later - I guess they'll just go unanswered :S).....is how to say goodbye
[Disconnected]
(6:35:46 PM) Eric: test
(6:35:53 PM) Sakura: yes?
(6:36:04 PM) Eric: sorry....internet went nuts at the worst possible moment
(6:36:13 PM) Eric: lst thing i saw was "maybe...."
(6:36:19 PM) Eric: whats the last thing you saw?
(6:36:34 PM) Sakura: so dont know > years
(6:36:38 PM) Eric: XD
(6:37:14 PM) Eric: but yeah. so...i guess the only thing that's left (and I'm sure I'll have more questions later - I guess they'll just go unanswered :S)......is how to say goodbye
(6:37:40 PM) Sakura: it's just a see you later ^^
(6:37:58 PM) Eric: we say that like when we're gonna be gone for like a few hours XD
(6:38:34 PM) Sakura: few hours can turn into few days into few weeks into few months into few years just as easy
(6:38:55 PM) Eric: Oh, and I apologize if any of my friends try to talk to you - John or Elisabeth particularly....because yeah, I was really badly hurting and I just wanted someone to talk to you
(6:39:03 PM) Eric: and im gonna miss talking to you like crazy for a bit
(6:39:17 PM) Sakura: it's gonna be the same here ^^
(6:40:38 PM) Eric: yeah. just....remember that I'm ALWAYS here for you. if you need me, you call me. nothing has changed in that respect as far as i know. the love/bond/friendship can be reactivated or called upon at any time if the need arises eh?
(6:41:02 PM) Sakura: ^^
(6:41:18 PM) Eric: you feel the same way or no?
(6:41:34 PM) Sakura: same way
(6:42:04 PM) Eric: ok good. just wanna be completely on the same page.....well, as much as we can be anyway. man, i really wish this hadn't needed to happen.....sigh
(6:42:20 PM) Sakura: it'll get better.... I promise..
(6:43:03 PM) Eric: yeah. it will. i mean, the way i see it - the very root of the problem here is what....that youre too young? XD
(6:43:28 PM) Sakura: something like that
(6:43:54 PM) Eric: yeah lol. so....one little thing............do you have any tips for trying to read these books without thinking about you? :S
(6:44:12 PM) Sakura: don't think about me... I guess....
(6:44:28 PM) Eric: ROFL....topping the list of obvious advice......
(6:44:29 PM) Eric: XD
(6:44:58 PM) Eric: so....will you have any problems....like when you look at your cell phone charm, or the other things ive sent you....will it bother you at all.....will it make you think about me?
(6:45:27 PM) Sakura: oh believe me if it's not the charms then my iPod will do the trick...
(6:45:34 PM) Sakura: the iPOd and the songs in it....
(6:46:05 PM) Eric: yeah. i just....i just like to know that you're in about the same predicament that I am....makes me feel like.....like we're on the same page, like we feel the same way, etc
(6:46:39 PM) Sakura: ^^
(6:46:51 PM) Eric: and mom says "Eric, you can't let this consume your life"......does she not realize that it basically WILL for a couple days? :S
(6:47:07 PM) Eric: well, aubrey certainly isn't hurt -_-
(6:47:17 PM) Sakura: huh?
(6:47:26 PM) Eric: ok, so.....did your new friends know how close we were....like will they miss me at all?
(6:47:32 PM) Eric: oh, aubrey's yahoo status
(6:47:34 PM) Sakura: no....
(6:47:38 PM) Eric: ahh i see
(6:47:51 PM) Eric: THAT is one answer i dont especially like thats not that big of a deal :P
(6:48:09 PM) Eric: oh, and you still have that poem i wrote you too......that would probably make you cry :S
(6:48:34 PM) Sakura: lol... you really want me to breakdown and cry don't you???
(6:48:52 PM) Sakura: don't worry as soon as this conversation is over give me a few minutes and I will
(6:49:13 PM) Eric: lol....yes and no XD I don't ever want to you to be in pain....but, since I'm in pain....it's nice to know I have company I guess?
(6:49:25 PM) Sakura: misery loves company as they say
(6:49:30 PM) Eric: yeah
(6:49:45 PM) Eric: and lets face it, this wouldnt bother either of us at all if we didnt care very very deeply for each other :S
(6:49:55 PM) Sakura: ^^ exactly
(6:50:18 PM) Eric: but we're still gonna feel that way even when we're not talking right?
(6:51:10 PM) Sakura: yup....
(6:51:40 PM) Eric: and thats never going to end.......is it? I just realized that
(6:51:47 PM) Sakura: what is?
(6:51:58 PM) Eric: the caring, the loving, the bond
(6:52:37 PM) Sakura: yeah... I don't think it's going to end... even if we tried....
(6:52:42 PM) Sakura: one of us will still care
(6:52:53 PM) Eric: one? :O
(6:53:12 PM) Sakura: one will still care hence will pull the other one to care as well :P
(6:53:18 PM) Eric: ahh
(6:53:54 PM) Eric: so basically....what we've done here is create a bond that will last forever. that's something, Rai. and to my knowledge these things happen what....once in a lifetime?
(6:54:03 PM) Eric: not trying to make you feel bad, just pointing it out XD
(6:54:14 PM) Sakura: ^^
(6:54:22 PM) Eric: you agree then i assume?
(6:54:37 PM) Sakura: yup...
(6:55:08 PM) Eric: yeah. i know im gonna end up with more questions and such later.......i guess........theyll just go unanswered? :S
(6:55:42 PM) Sakura: I guess....
(6:55:51 PM) Sakura: I'm sorry
(6:56:15 PM) Eric: so basically, it's speak now or forever (well, for months or more) hold your peace XD
(6:56:29 PM) Sakura: yes XD
(6:57:01 PM) Eric: if you were the swearing type......would you swear to me that youve told me the complete truth today and nothing but it?
(6:57:25 PM) Eric: dont want you having buttered something up just to make me feel better ;P
(6:57:39 PM) Sakura: I swear ^^
(6:58:15 PM) Eric: alright then. and I as well....although if youve noticed this seems to be one sided....I guess because all my emotions are on my sleeve and I have to ask about your's :P
(6:58:33 PM) Sakura: :)
(6:59:03 PM) Eric: wow....a lot of firsts in our lives have happened with each other
(6:59:14 PM) Eric: and im sure some of them will be unique to us forever
(6:59:19 PM) Sakura: yup.... definitely
(7:00:00 PM) Eric: and thats comforting.....knowing that we share something that nobody else shares
(7:00:30 PM) Eric: its....a nice thought and all.....you know, like i said before i LOVE anything thats specific to us that you dont do with other people, or tell other people, etc :P
(7:00:37 PM) Eric: im kinda....possessive like that?
(7:00:44 PM) Eric: i dunno what the word is but you know what i mean
(7:00:47 PM) Sakura: ^^
(7:01:17 PM) Eric: oh oh oh....i was gonna say goodbye now, but something else just came up
(7:01:34 PM) Eric: IM, Skype, Friendster, etc....will you delete me from them or what?
(7:01:34 PM) Eric: XD
(7:02:24 PM) Sakura: you're block on skype though not deleted.... you're still on friendster and will stay there... I'm not sure on yahoo...
(7:02:50 PM) Eric: oh wow...you dont have to BLOCK me....you can just delete me....that's what I'm doing to you :P
(7:03:23 PM) Eric: but ill probably do it on friendster too tbh....otherwise every time you update something youll bump to the top of the list and stuff and yeah XD
(7:03:57 PM) Sakura: ah... then I'll do the same...
(7:04:08 PM) Eric: yeah, see...i dont want to know WHEN youre on....i dont want to see your name if i cant talk to you XD
(7:04:13 PM) Eric: lol you dont have to, its up to you :P
(7:04:22 PM) Sakura: I know but it's gonna help me as well ^^
(7:04:27 PM) Eric: ahh yeah
(7:05:00 PM) Sakura: ^^
(7:05:25 PM) Eric: anything else I can do to help you? Since you've been so awesome about answering every little insignificant questions of mine, even down to your bra size? XD
(7:05:51 PM) Eric: (which btw, i wont tell anyone what it IS.....but i might tell people that i KNOW what it is....unless you dont want me to :P)
(7:05:55 PM) Sakura: no I'm fine ^^ you're hurting more than I am....
(7:06:13 PM) Sakura: hahaha... I don't mind
(7:06:21 PM) Eric: lol ok
(7:06:53 PM) Eric: i intend to pretty much paste these logs in my blog and give the link to people. if you dont want me to, say so :P
(7:07:15 PM) Sakura: no I might do the same for Aubrey and Jam...
(7:07:22 PM) Sakura: so it's fine
(7:07:24 PM) Eric: oh ok, yeah
(7:07:32 PM) Eric: oh....one confession to make
(7:07:44 PM) Eric: i do paste a lot of your logs to people sometimes
(7:07:56 PM) Eric: if theres anything i think you wouldnt want known though, i censor it
(7:08:04 PM) Sakura: ^^
(7:08:50 PM) Eric: damn it, i hate to say goodbye because I know once I do I won't see you for the longest time :(
(7:09:04 PM) Sakura: we have to at one point....
(7:09:18 PM) Sakura: are you feeling the least bit better??
(7:09:31 PM) Eric: oh, I'm not feeling too bad...AT THE MOMENT
(7:09:52 PM) Eric: no clue how I'll feel once it's done though.....could be anywhere from shittier than ever to pretty normal :S
(7:10:05 PM) Sakura: I'm hoping for the latter
(7:10:35 PM) Eric: Me too. I mean, we've been focusing on my pain....but I don't like your's either you know...the bond transfers pain too I think :P
(7:10:39 PM) Eric: and thoughts occasionally XD
(7:10:47 PM) Sakura: lol
(7:11:07 PM) Eric: I mean honestly....if I were in no pain whatsoever....would this even bother you?
(7:11:22 PM) Sakura: it would...
(7:11:28 PM) Eric: NEARLY as bad?
(7:11:44 PM) Sakura: I'm not sure....
(7:12:01 PM) Eric: oh I see
(7:12:11 PM) Sakura: you won't be hurting but I would still feel that missing piece in my heart....
(7:12:24 PM) Eric: awwwwww that's so sweet ^^
(7:12:52 PM) Eric: just....always remember.....you can pick that piece up and put it back whenever you want
(7:13:23 PM) Sakura: that piece was given to you....
(7:13:27 PM) Sakura: it's not on the floor...
(7:13:47 PM) Eric: ...
(7:13:57 PM) Eric: I....have no words to describe how sweet and touching that is
(7:14:36 PM) Eric: especially coming from you, knowing you dont like to talk about this stuff
(7:14:42 PM) Sakura: :)
(7:15:02 PM) Eric: and of course, youll guard the piece of my heart that you possess as well i assume? ;P
(7:15:11 PM) Sakura: with my life...
(7:15:39 PM) Eric: awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
(7:16:00 PM) Eric: my only wish i suppose would be that you could be sweet like that more often :)
(7:16:14 PM) Sakura: don't bet on it....
(7:16:32 PM) Sakura: it's hard for me to do these things...
(7:17:00 PM) Eric: yeah i know. which kind of begs the question....why are you doing it now? I mean, I love it...I think it's helping a lot....but why? :P
(7:17:13 PM) Sakura: dunno... it just came out....
(7:17:35 PM) Eric: wow. i think that soulmate chance just increased a bit XD
(7:17:48 PM) Sakura: lol
(7:18:09 PM) Eric: no, it's really odd....because as sweet as I can be....I don't feel comes even close to what you just sad
(7:18:11 PM) Eric: said*
(7:18:24 PM) Sakura: lol
(7:18:43 PM) Sakura: I guess my body knows when the right time to say those kind of words is
(7:18:59 PM) Eric: There's a Twilight reference in there with the pieces of hearts.....but I don't recall it
(7:19:20 PM) Sakura: it's in the back of my iPod... but here's the whole qoute
(7:19:59 PM) Sakura: I'll be back so soon, you won't have time to miss me.... Look after my heart, I've left it with you....
(7:20:09 PM) Eric: ahh yes that's the one
(7:20:16 PM) Sakura: edward left that note to Bella...
(7:20:23 PM) Sakura: but it applies to us as well I guess
(7:20:24 PM) Eric: I think it's very very fitting in this case.
(7:20:59 PM) Eric: ok, i think the time has come.....unfortunately
(7:21:10 PM) Eric: for me to make my semi-long goodbye speech
(7:21:18 PM) Sakura: not yet... but I've left a pice of mine with you for when we meet again...
(7:21:23 PM) Sakura: piece*
(7:21:29 PM) Eric: hmm?
(7:21:38 PM) Eric: what was that?
(7:21:52 PM) Sakura: nothing... I misinterpreted something... it's fine ^^
(7:21:55 PM) Eric: lol ok
(7:23:59 PM) Sakura: are you crying again?
(7:24:18 PM) Eric: a bit....but all happy tears :P
(7:24:35 PM) Sakura: sorry... I just had this vision of you crying...
(7:24:40 PM) Eric: lol it's fine
(7:25:00 PM) Eric: but yeah, when you were being sweet just now....you were being honest/serious....not just trying to make me feel better, right? XD
(7:25:08 PM) Sakura: yup...
(7:25:39 PM) Eric: ok. good. sorry.....mxiia was being like "because she feels sorry or because she means it?" and im like, well....im sure she means it, but ill ask anyway
(7:25:52 PM) Sakura: ah
(7:26:40 PM) Eric: So yeah....let's start with....I love you and you will always have a place in my heart. I enjoyed all our times together more than you can know, and am very saddened that it is ending. But, I know that our bond is strong and that we will meet again and the relationship will be restored. In the meantime, I wish nothing but happiness for you. Be happy. Look after that heart piece Rai....I'm counting on you. Until next time. And....I love you...more than you can know
(7:28:50 PM) Sakura: same here... I want you to be happy... after today, I hope that you won't cry anymore... I've left that a piece of my heart with you as well... keep it until we meet again... I'll take care of yours if you will take care of mine... I love you too...
(7:29:43 PM) Eric: I will guard it with my life...and try my best not to cry unless it's HAPPY tears or a movie/anime/etc ^^ *huggle snuggle*
(7:29:56 PM) Sakura: with my life...
(7:30:02 PM) ***Sakura huggles Eric

Stuff

So....my worst fears regarding Sakura have been realized. She doesn't want to be friends anymore, at least for right now. Oddly, I'm somewhat OK with that. We had a long talk about things and stuff....and it made me feel a lot better. She said that she would miss me very much right before we left....and that helped a lot. She also basically said that she won't ever forget me, which helped. I feel like the past year has NOT been for nothing, and I think that will help me get through it more easily. I will still miss her, I will still miss my rock, my best friend. There is no question whatsoever of that. However, we have a bond.....a bond that virtually cannot be broken. We both know it exists, but neither of us knows what it means. Basically, we agreed on many points - that she's young and needs to grow up some, that I'm a great guy and don't deserve this. From what she was saying, there is even a very strong possibility that she liked me at some point. In fact, that's part of the reason for this. Let me explain.

1) She knew that if things continued as they were, we would end up together and she didn't want that. Why didn't she want that? Basically, her insecurities....being scared, etc. She even said that she was crazy for not wanting me. She thinks that no guy will ever like her for her. I told her that I did. She called herself crazy - here's a guy offering his heart on a silver platter, willing to accept her and love her just the way she is - and she refused. I honestly think part of it is she's scared of commitment - and she partially agrees.

2) She felt like she was using me. It was torturing her. Simple enough there - I'm always sending her stuff and such, and she doesn't really give me anything in return. She wants to reciprocate with stuff, but she can't really give me anything in return.

3) I honestly forgot the third one, but if I remember I'll come back and fill it in.

She basically says that I'm a great guy and I deserve better and everything. We also acknowledge our bond, we acknowledge that we might be right for each other at some point. We even put a timeframe on reconnection - months for occasional emails, and years for complete reconnection.

One of the ways I look at this - is that she wants to make sure I'm what she wants, and so she wants to take a break to make sure of it. She also has some growing up to do, as we both know. So, she's taking time off to do that. It hurts, there's no denying that. But, she said some quite nice things about me - and told me a few things that made me feel better. Stuff like that she's never been closer to a guy than she was to me...and that we really were best friends. We basically guessed - we weren't SURE....that we were each other's rocks even. We even acknowledge the possibility that we might be soulmates. It would make sense with this bond we have. We both know this isn't the end of our friendship....but we both know it basically is for now. We will both miss each other very very much. We both treasure each other to an incredible degree. We both have told each other things that we've never told ANYBODY - even our closest friends (outside of us 2). In fact, she even said that I was the one she came to....and that she would pick me as her best friend out of everybody, even her female friends. And she pointed out a few things that were special between us - that only we shared and nobody else. And I told her completely how I felt about her - the extent of it, how deep it went. She apologized many many times, but it's just not enough to make me feel much better. She knows this. I'm not finished removing her from everywhere and archiving everything....I'm REALLY not in the mood at the moment.

So basically, the only thing I can do is wait. Oh! I remember the third reason (I has forgotten it at first) so I'm going to go back and fill you in now.

3) She wants me to get over her. We talked about the reasons....I asked if it was because she thinks we're not supposed to be together or if she knew she would hurt me and was trying to spare me the pain. She said it was both.

So, we parted with promises (well, mine came earlier....but well). I promised that I would be able to move on - in the sense that I would have a normal life and be ABLE to get a girlfriend besides her in the future (ABLE meaning - well, if I can't ATTRACT a girlfriend but I'm emotionally ok with having another one). Her promise was that she would miss me and that she would think about me.

Even down to the books I have left to read - I don't know when/if I'll be able to read them. They will surely remind me of her and I don't want that right now. It'll only make things harder.

Oh, I just thought of a fourth reason.

4) Emotional attachment. She was emotionally attached to me and she didn't like it. She doesn't easily get emotionally attached to people and all, and she was scared? Insecure? I dunno....but you get the idea I think.

Basically, I found out that she thought a LOT of me - and I told her exactly what I though of her. I told her that I was ready to give her anything....and things like that. It honestly almost seems like we might be together in the future, or at least very close again. Unfortunately, it looks like I'll have years to wait before we know for sure. We found out from last time that while our bond might be.....idle, it won't go away if we just throw time at it. We both know this. We just....click. Like she said, when we met we just kind of clicked.

Ok, that's enough for now - Jcink's waiting on me to finish so he can read this, so :P I might post another blog, or update this one at some point, I don't know.

Oh, one other thing - last time this happened, she didn't intend to ever talk to me again....but within about 3-4 months, we were back together again by a weird twist of fate...so even though she says months and years....nobody will know for sure until it happens. Oh, I also sent her the whole list of stuff I had to ask her about in the future, not that it especially matters....but well. She also said that last time this happened, she kept trying to earmark things in her head to tell me - because we normally talked like every day and stuff....but then she'd forget that we weren't talking and all. Proof she misses me I'd say. I mean, I honestly don't know what life will be like without each other this time around - we've never had someone of the opposite sex (or same sex in some ways) that was THIS close. Any thoughts, comments, support.....are greatly appreciated.

I also felt like what you guys were saying seems to be totally right - just give her time. Just give her time and she'll come around. It seems that that's exactly what it will take. The only thing is, I think we acknowledge that we can't really be friends without me liking her right now, and in the future, after she's grown up a bit - maybe she'll like me as well. So maybe/hopefully you guys are right - all she needs is time.

Like I told her, it's like we've planted the seed of hope for the future in me to make me feel better...and it will grow slightly, but mostly I think I'll be able to keep it in check as long as I keep her off my mind as much as possible.

She knows how much it hurts me too...and like I told her, this is easier now that I know the "verdict". Also, it's hurting her - hurting her to do this to me, and hurting her to be away from me. It helps to know that I'm not the only one, it really does. Also, she talked to her 2 female best friends for help - 1 basically said cut it off if you're feeling like this, and the other one said keep it because of the pain you'll cause him (me). Hmm. Fun. So it looks like I'll be dealing with this in my mind for a bit. Fuck.

Oh, and about her group of friends - she basically admitted that I _WAS_ losing attention...but that if this hadn't happened, I would've gotten the attention back. She said so many nice things about me - it's keeping me from going totally ape because....I dunno, but it surely is.

The Return....Not!

I'll start off with a log + thoughts. I originally sent all this to a friend, so TEXT are my comments, everything else is logs from elsewhere.

hmm, i almost went back to #JAR...there was a leaf channel on another server i was on, i joined it to see if it was real...it was, so i left
and now i joined on my server with a different nick through megatokyo...sakura aint on but nv2u is
and hkk is
meh, ill go back for a little while, see how it goes...heh
i somewhat dread when sakura comes in tho...understandably so i think
hmm, its past the time she should be getting on pretty much...guess i wont hear from her tonight...maybe thats a good thing. i was gonna apologize in pm for calling them/her assholes...tell them i was just hurt. i did in global, but only nv2u saw it...unless hkk reads the logs, but i pm'ed him too.
i dunno if ill be back or not...i DO wish things would go back to how they were tho...or at least, shed lift the restrictions...it feels weird...she didnt message me the whole time i was gone...yet were still "friends"...go figure eh?
speak of the devil...there she is -_-
haha
hey, sorry for calling yall assholes...i was just hurt :(
it's fine
this may be a bad time, but...do u still need more time or can the restrictions go bye bye? :P
more time please...
XD fine fine :P
haha well, im not gonna start any drama or anything...no need for that...just know that I am looking forward to the day we can enjoy a less restricted friendship :P
i dunno why, but for some reason i dont care....its like shes disgusted and distanced me so much that i dont care XD
hehe
I love rain... it's just that i'll be wet once I get to school
I *hate* rain. XD
At least snow is generally dry.
that was nasty
ewwwwwwwwwww
generally??
* Sakura gets slushies
Well, sometimes you get slush and stuff. But you don't really get wet from just walking in the snow until it melts...
So as long as you brush it off before you go inside, it's usually fine
sorry, i have a dirty mind now...moreso i mean....i blame john
XD
nii-chan hasn't been here for a while
nope, he left
why?
because we all did i think...me and sec and him
i probably wouldnt have come back except i randomly saw a leaf in megatokyo.com and im like "hmm...i better go back, even if i dont stay...leave on a better foot :P"
nobody asked why we left...then again, each of the 3 of us had our separate reasons...im thinking ill be an occasional visitor, if that
maybe more, i dunno...
I'm gone... later guys
Later Sakura
Stay dry...
* Nv2U tosses Sakura an umbrella
* Sakura starts singing 'rain rain go away...'
cya sakura...dunno when/if ill see you again, so *hugs*
* Sakura catches the umbrella
thank you!
later Ath
haha, she cares a lot if she never sees me again
but for some reason, i dont care much / at all
im beginning to wonder if sakura is there just so guys will talk to her and stuff...you know, cuz she cant really IRL or something...hmm
meh, doesnt matter...it is what it is (why does that sound like a mal quote? :P)
heh, at the very least i wont feel guilty anymore..even tho hkk hasnt responded, i got responses from 2/3...even tho i told them i was just hurt and i never got a "sorry for that" out of them...nv2u said he had me on ignore at the time
the more i think about it, the more im thinking i can live without said chatroom
i think i mayve found my new home...#crossplay on megatokyo.com
lol...as soon as sakura left, nv2u seems to be afk...haha, yeah i dunno if ill be back
ok, i left for the night
possibly forever
made a fairly dramatic exit
lemme bring up the log and paste
Jan 10 00:34:25 well im off...i dunno when/if ill be back...i got no hard feelings tho...my time has been fun. and should i not return, hope everyone does well...yall feel free to IM me if you want tho... kixs_108@hotmail.com (msn) or jupiter8788 (aim) or tax1p (yahoo). Yeah. Seems a bit dramatic, but heh...such is my way. /me hugs everyone. :)
Jan 10 00:35:02 oh and erm...tell sakura shes welcome to im me...if her restrictions will allow it ;P anyway, cyall later :)

Interesting no? Sakura seems to be up to her old tricks of "zomg i need more time to get over...whatever it is i have to get over" and stuff. I dunno, I'm thinking leaving was probably a good thing...and now I don't have that "I left calling them assholes" thing hovering over my head.

So, I guess that was it...perhaps never to return, I dunno. I really don't know if her "restrictions" will ever be lifted anyway...she doesnt realize it, but she's a good part of the reason why I left...not that she seemed to care. Glad to see everyone is well at least. I believe a change is in order, and for a change...epic words.

As this chapter of my life closes, so shall a new one open. May the new one be more joyful and less sorrowful than the last. May I correct my old mistakes to make a better life.

Ok, so much for the epic words. I think this marks a significant change in my life. I think I have been better with girls since I've met Sakura, and I should be able to increase that. I will never forget my time with her, or the chatroom...just like I've never forgotten my time with Kelsey and the gang.

So, feel free to leave comments and such :)

Sakura: Epilogue

Yes, I said epilogue. A friend (or friends) have convinced me of something: that I need to move on, even as friends. It was great, I don't regret the time before things blew up, but I've had enough. I cannot go on like this, and I shouldn't have to. Talking to her does no good (in fact it makes things worse). So, I will either be waiting a long time (before I re-establish contact) or I will be waiting on her to make contact...or I will just move on with my life (which is essentially the latter).

I believe I will go with the latter. If/when she is ready, she will come to me and we'll try to fix things. As things stand, things will only get worse for me.

So, what have I done? I have channel-ignored her (ignored her in the chatroom's channel only - she can still PM me), I have removed her from AIM, I have removed her from Friendster. The idea here is that the less I see of her, the better. I also just erased my "Sakura" bookmarks folder. What haven't I done? I have kept all the videos she's sent me, and I haven't erased her address (physical, not email) from my computer. That's about it.

This way, I am reminded of her as little as possible, and it will make moving on easier. The things I did not remove I rarely (if ever) see anyway, so it won't matter too much. There are a few things that will still remind me of her (speaking of which...I'm erasing her phone # from my phone and putting it with her address) such as Full Moon wo Sagashite and Heroes, but I will either have to avoid them or live with it.

I think I will be much happier in the long run this way. I can stay in the chatroom, she gets all the time she needs without any drama whatsoever. I'm not saying it's been easy, but I think things will be easier now that I've made this move.

In closing, I have many people to thank...many who have supported me through the whole ordeal (sorry if I miss you): Richard, Austin, Alex, Nv2U (another Alex), Sec, John. I thank you all very much. You all have been a major help throughout the whole thing.

I have a couple last things to say in relation to her specifically (warning: mushy content). I have thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent together...I really felt like I had a friend in her (at least at the time). I will treasure it and enjoy the memory always. And lastly, to Sakura (should she be reading this / for sentimental value): I am sorry for everything, I want you to know that. You meant a lot to me, and I hope I did to you. Thank you for all the good times, and I apologize for all the bad ones. I hope to see you again some day. If not, I will surely see you in Heaven one day. Until that time, さよなら、妹ちゃん。

Shojo Beat, Chris, and Sakura

Those are the three big things today, aside from another stupid physics lab.

I bought my first issue of Shojo Beat.  It's kind of girly, but it's based on Shojo, my favorite genre of anime/manga.  It's got fashion/beauty too, but well :P

Chris came over today.  In fact, he's the one that drove me to Hastings and Walden Books in search of Shojo Beat :P  It was fun.

Sakura - well, I think we may be becoming a little closer.  We've been joking around and casually talking a lot in the chatroom.  In fact, when she got off, I called her いもうと (imouto - little sister) for the first time since things blew up.  So, let's keep hoping and maybe all will be well on the Sakura front soon.

I also met another Sakura, but she's 13 and kind of odd, so only a footnote for her :P

Random Stuff

Ok, well...I had a computer job today.  That was pretty cool...3 hours of fairly easy work, $60 (I charge $20/hr for computer repair and misc other tech help).

Not much else happened today really, except that when Sakura got up in the morning before school she actually acted happy to see me.  That brightened my day at least a little methinks.  It felt more normal...more like she actually cares.  It doesn't take much to please me, really...but it does take a little.  Perhaps this crap is nearing an end...or perhaps it's exclusively the result of my previous blog?  Who knows.

Sakura....again...and again

So, another sakura convo...more waiting. It's fine for now, but I don't know when I'll start to feel like that again. The verdict? I get to keep waiting. It's somewhat understandable, somewhat not. Austin said he would hope they'd be gone before christmas. I've alreayd been waiting like a month...and I'm afraid this conversation pushed the time back.

Final verdict? I get to wait an unknown amount of time while she treats me unequally...she says it shouldn't bother me...but I just can't help it sometimes...sigh.

So the big question becomes....how can I keep my feelings (speaking of feelings that I should be treated equally here) at bay until she's ready? I wish I could just turn them off and give her however much time she needs...but I obviously can't do that.

I have anime/manga...but it's also not like she's the only one in the chatroom...it's not as simple as just leaving until she's ready, so that's basically out of the question.

I guess I can keep asking God what to do...He will either tell me what to do, or fix it Himself.

I feel mostly alright now, I'm just afraid the inequal thing will rear its ugly head again. I think if I had another girl that I considered as (or could be) a TRUE friend, it wouldn't bother me so much...but I've always said that girls hate me, even as friends....perhaps I didn't realize how true that was.

and in desperate need of a break.


message me :)


-----------

She wants people to message her. Ok. So I send a friendly message asking if she wanted help. She declines, alright - so I ask her about her new guitar - I get a freaking 2 words back. So I try again - I ask if she's learned to play it - I get a relatively rude 2 words back. So I tell her that if she doesnt want to talk to me, just say so. SO WHAT DOES SHE DO? She doesnt TELL me she doesnt wanna talk to me, NO - that would be too EASY! She tells me she should probably get back to her hw! She was the one who wanted people to message her in the first place!

So I say - ok w/e...not only is she a hippocrit, she's a hippocrit who doesn't say exactly what she means, but skirts around what she really wants to say.

Host

So, I got my linux host nice and up and running - partly due to Ammon, but I've done stuff too :D It's $15/month which isn't bad - its got ftp, web, and mud servers atm. It's gonna be used for general server hosting (perhaps for others too - so if you want a website on it, contact me) and education (so I can learn linux better).

http://hagrid.simud.org is the main address. The blog and trusted sections are locked (im guessing you're aware of the blog section ;););)). If you want the password to trusted, contact me.
