David Blaine is done. And I am too. The project that I have been toiling over for the past week and a half, that I have lost blood, sweat, and tears for, is now done. Barring any minor or cosmetic changes requested by my manager(s), my analysis will be sent to the customer, and I can resume my life. Whew. I'm exhausted. It's sad that I wasn't able to attend the last day of JournalCon, but this project needed to get done.
I took a short break and had a nice, 30-minute conversation w/ A* tonight. I presented the following idea: that the reason why I was hesitant about Hawaii was that it did not give me an ability to impress her.
Initially she seemed to take offense, stating that she didn't understand why guys feel the need to impress her, or women in general; and why they can't just be themselves. This set me slightly on the defensive.
I noted that we were using two different definitions of the word 'impress'. I had meant that people have facets of their behavior and personality that are only brought out in certain situations. And that when we're just relaxing, I do not have the ability to exhibit different sides of myself in front of her. She then posed an interesting question. That is, whether or not I know how to behave when just relaxing.
There might be something there, but I didn't have the ability to analyze it further - partially due to me being still in the work mindset, and the rest due to not having slept well in the past few nights.
So tomorrow, or a few days from now when I've gotten some more sleep and had time to think this over, she wants me to say something like, "What the heck was I thinking ?!" I may just do that.
In the meantime, it's wonderful to have heard her laughing and giggling at my silliness.
