I talked to Carl earlier today through YM. This made me happy… we haven’t talked for a looooong time and I missed him! Talking to him always comforted me. Even if his full attention is not with me, hearing his voice and knowing that he’s on the other end of the line makes me feel safe… like nothing can go wrong. And he makes all my troubles melt away. I haven’t seen him for a long time now too, except in his photos in Facebook. Last time we saw each other was February last year, I think, when he paid a surprise visit. He’s coming home on May and he’ll be staying here until December, before he gets back to Kansas to start his Phd. I’m glad for this. 
We talked about life… what’s going on with him… what’s going on with me. He even talked to my niece and nephew! And we sang to each other a lot. Haha! I missed that too! And like always he irritated me a little. Haha! I think a conversation with Carl will not end without him making me inis. He always does that though I know he’s just teasing me and then he’ll end up laughing at my reaction. I think he likes that. Haha! No matter how serious I am, he always finds something funny in what I’m saying or my reactions.
One funny part of our conversation earlier today was our bet on who’s gonna die first between the two of us. I’m betting on me and he’s betting on himself. I told him that when the time comes that he’ll decide to get married, I’m not going to attend it. I said I’d die first before he gets married and I’m going to win his bet. His response was he promised he’ll kill me after his wedding so I’ll win the bet. He’ll let me win just so I attend his wedding. And then he realized that I’m going to win the bet even either way because he’ll kill me too out of madness if I don’t attend his wedding. Haha! Brutal ba? Well, that’s Carl and me. I had to explain to him that I’m not really fond of weddings. He argued with me and questioned why I attended my cousin’s wedding and why I’m going to attend my other friends’ wedding this coming Saturday. Haha!
Then I asked him if it will be okay if we just see each other once when he goes home. And I demanded no surprise visits and that he visits me alone or with his girlfriend only. None of our friends can tag along. Haha! I’m pretty sure he gets the idea who I’m referring to… the one and only AA. I said I will not cook for him if he does that.
We talked for at least two hours, mostly about nonsense. He was still in school and doing some DNA work. I sang while he worked. Haha! Then sometimes he’d pause and sing too. Carl and I could talk for a long time about nonsense, well mostly me talking about nonsense. But he always try to make sense of what I’m saying and really thinks about it and try to decipher it, no matter how petty or silly or weird it is. He always gets me. And he’s the one who knows my voice well. He can tell how I’m feeling even if I say just one word. That’s Carl! And I miss him again already!
