Okay, so I spent Saturday night at a concert with my friend Brent and afterwards went back to his place to talk and hang out. I'm pretty comfortable talking to guys I'm interested in about how I feel about them. I always have been. I suppose its because a lot of guys are so incredibly closed emotionally that it always falls on me to bring up important issues that normally wouldn't be addressed. He seems content just doing what we've been doing without putting any sort of responsibility behind it, which to me is selfish. Don't get me wrong, I really like this guy a lot. He's got most of the qualities I've been looking for in a guy, but it's getting very obvious that we want different things in our relationship and that's okay. I just wish he'd man up and tell me what he wants. I'm all for having a friendship with the guy, but Brent confuses me a lot by his actions...he definitely comes across as wanting more, but then says I need to relax and not put limits on what we've been doing.

I'm not interested in pressuring him to say 'oh let's be boyfriends' but I do expect him to be honest and open enough to tell me what he wants from our relationship. This is a new relationship and I don't want to come across too pushy, but I also can't stand feeling like I'm the only one working at it. We do have a ton of fun together though so I definitely don't want to jeopardize a decent friendship. It's a difficult situation to be in! I hate this part of a new relationship, but it is also really exciting so I'm not complaining about that at all.

Here's a couple pictures of us together. The first one is of Brent and I and my friend Lydia at dinner. It was a fancy restaurant, but he paid for all three of us!


Lastly, here's a picture of just Brent and I goofing around at a friend's place while watching a rugby game:


Today I'll be having lunch with my sister at a Cajun restaurant near her home. Crawdaddy's is an awesome place to eat. I usually order this crawfish dish which is swimming in spicy cajun red sauce and served with a big house salad. They also serve it alongside with a slice of thick homemade bread...to soak up all the juices! She's been having a lot of food cravings for spicy foods now that her pregnancy is moving along. My 2 year-old nephew will be turning 3 right around the time his little sister is born.

The rest of this week will be devoted to studying for finals. I've got a lot of papers due as well. Will definitely be interesting to see how my first semester grades turn out. I'm so looking forward to Christmas Break!
