I have an uncomfortable amount of work to do today (yay spring break), so I'll keep this brief.

I met a girl at the beginning of the year, made a move, got rebuffed. Whatever. We ended up really good friends, things were great. Then like a month ago something changed, no idea what. All of a sudden she's cute as fuck and I want to be with her again. Never a good idea. Long story short, eventually the prospect of telling her was more attractive than the prospect of letting it fester, so I did, and she doesn't reciprocate. Now everything is aching loneliness again.

Why, god, why is the primary concern of my life thus far my lack of control over my emotions? Fuck.

But Opening Day (MLB) is in, like, half a month. I can't wait.

I have no consolation beyond saying that it is always better to make the move than not make the move. I think the best, if vulgar, phrasing I've ever heard for this is 'It's better to shit your pants than die of constipation.'
