Living Up To The Name.

Apologies, Glances and Messed Up Chances.

Quite an interesting name for a blog, don't you think? Some names for blogs don't relate to the person at all, but some names do.

Like mine.

Many times I would have to Apologize, make Glances at that someone and/or Mess Up by not taking the Chance that was given to me.

Such as today, I was at a local library with a classmate, figuring out some Java programming. And next to us, a gorgeous Asian girl sits down next to us. At first, I didn't really notice her. But as I caught glimpses of her, the more I tried to just stare. But that's way too obvious. The only way for me to look at her was from a reflection on the window.

But she caught me looking. "Crap!" I thought to myself...

So we sit there for 3 hours, doing our own work, minding our own business. I didn't look at her even though I was very tempted to.

Then she got up. Packed her stuff and went into a study room behind us. My friend looks over and sees a scarf on her chair.

"Hey man! I think that's her scarf! Go give it back to her!"
"You sure?!"
"Ya I'm positive that's her scarf."
"Why don't you do it?"
"It's better if you do it. You better hurry up before she remembers and gets it."
"OK, I'll do it in 5 minutes."
"Do it now man!"
"Nah! 5 minutes!"

And so FOUR minutes went by, and the inevitable happened - she came out and got her scarf.

DAMN IT.
A chance to know her passed me by. And now I'm left with another "Messed Up Chances" under my belt.

Could she have done it on purpose? I was looking at her reflection on the window as she went into the room and closed the door. She looked at me before disappearing behind the wall...

I knew I should've done it earlier. Me and my fucking 5 minutes...
