karl day

yesterday was karl day.

at lunch, E told me that one of the guys in her office, whom she had never met but my other acquaintances know of, moved to nz and is now working in the same company as karl's. can you believe it? it's such a small world! a fellow scientist working near him. wow, kind of a 'so near, yet so far' drama! :)

then later, i got a call from A telling that my labmates whom karl met before when he was in the country met him again at a conference at iceland! argh! the same people we met before where there again. it would have been fun to see them again, like gropelli who got married already and mike. speaking of mike, i heard that he asked what happened between karl and i considering that "i like karl a lot!" wow! i don't know if i should laugh or cry. i know they mean well, but heck! it's so embarrassing. these guys pressing him, because they know i like him. hello! it's been almost three years! but hey, i did like the guy - and crazily, too!

it was really a giddy moment though, knowing that my friends would think that we could have a chance of making it! it's thrilling and it's making blush! i can't stop but just be hyper about all of it.

what's not nice about it all though is that karl just spent his time smiling at everyone whenever asked about me. didn't he have anything to say?! argh! and he's just sending me his regards! argh! what was that?! he could have said that we text and email from time to time, don't you think. hmmm what if he doesn't really want to be associated with me? so what the hell? then don't, right? it's so irritating! he is sooo irritating!

what made me happy despite all that was what my friends strat and ross said: they like drifter better than karl. =))
