Yesterday was fun, really decided that I need to get my back fixed. My sciatica is hampering my soccer ability, and since my leg was in pain from my back, it made it more difficult to turn on the ball, sprint for speed, control my passes, etc. It sucks knowing that you have the ability, but physically you can't live up to it.
I went to the gym after work and lifted weights for about an hour, then went and met with LF at a school yard to play some pick-up soccer with a bunch of 20 to 40 year olds for a bit. We ended up playing for a couple of hours in the afternoon heat that faded into dusk.
After that, LF said that her laptop was still not working, and she wanted me to go to her house and work on it. But we were both hungry, so I said that we should get something to eat first before I worked on her computer. She mentioned that I did live close to the place we were playing soccer, so we could feasibly go to my house instead. (she's a bit sneaky like that... I think she just wanted to see my place.) Sounded like a good plan to me. :)
We went to a local bar that has great wings called Madison's. Madison's is over in SE Portland, off of SE 11th and Madison. I had the wings and a Heffeweisen, and she had a burger. After which, I gave her my address (hope she isn't a stalker!) and we met at my house.
Once we met there, I proceeded to pop open her laptop and boot it up. The thing was running really slow, so at first I suspected it was a virus issue. I tried to boot into safe mode to no avail. Things weren't looking good, and it only got worse. I kept trying to boot normally, boot safely, nothing was working. All the while the computer was making funny noises, black screening, BSOD and rebooting... not healthy at all. Then it finally "bricked". I'd press the power button, and the power light would just sit there and flash, eventhough it was plugged in. So based on that analysis, it appeared that the battery was dead, and thus the power issue. With the battery failing and the power being routed through it not working... the computer seemed dead to me. I asked her how old the computer was, she responded "really old". I then said that she could feasibly get a new battery for it, but it's like $80, and might just be better to get a new laptop. She could pickup one for around $500 that'll do what she needs it to do... still, not good news.
After that, it was time for my "back rub". So of course I suggested that we move to my bed... (lower half thinking). She kindly obliged. Moving to my bed, which she loves, we proceeded to make out, shirts came off, shorts almost came off. Then we started talking. She mentioned that the first time she sleeps with me, she wants to stay the night. With it already being late, having her stay the night would not only be awkward, but I wouldn't be getting much sleep with her.
We talked some more. Then I remembered her talking about a "relationship" after sleeping with someone. That definitely made me pause (top half thinking). I know it'll just be drama with her if I sleep with her. She's already clingy as it is, and if I sleep with her it'll only get worse. She's already asking me to go on trips with her, meeting her family, etc. All signs that she wants something more serious. Ugh.
During dinner I let her know that I wasn't looking for a serious relationship. I didn't want to have to think about someone else's concerns if I wanted to go out with friends, or take a girl to lunch or whatever. She claimed she didn't want one either, but if she was to go further with me, then it'd be under the agreement that I wouldn't be going out to hook up with anyone else. That if I took another girl out to lunch/dinner, it'd just be as friends, not because I was interested with them. That's a more committed relationship. That's a challenging proposition, thus the pause.
Time will tell which head wins out.
