The holidays are over and the traditional weekly meets will resume. I have resolved to continue going to the same place to see the same person knowing that she isn't available because she's great to be around. It's torture in a way, but I have weighed up the torture against the benefit and I'm finding the benefit to be worth the pain.

In doing this I feel a little like a certain character in a certain manga, but that's okay, because my resolution for 2008 is not to fall in love, and I feel that this might help me achieve that.
