Insight, 4-1 wins against the Leafs, Domino's pizza, and BILLY BUDD as an opera

Chinese Eric came by at about 3:30 as he said, and came in to look at the computer. For some reason, he made it work where I could not - thank goodness I don't have to lug that tomorrow to the parents' place, otherwise my mom would have something to say about it! (probably much the same as HIS mother: "why are you buying a computer for this girl?!") He and I both know that we cherish our friendship, and he's naturally a giving guy anyway. He had a bit of water before we left - talked about a LOT of stuff tonight, especially when Nathan showed up! Most of the conversation is off the record (as it should be), but we did talk about messed-up exes / insight into death threat messages and red flags / Des / drawings / my being a guinea pig for Nathan's prompt cards / Ryan Kessel's "long stick wrapping around a player" (thanks, Nate...) / Nathan's research into being Chinese / Domino's pizza / clips of the Rape of Nanking and my reactions / girlfriends / psychoanalysis / the past / chocolates / salsa / chips / Lays / "guy thoughts" (I walked in on the wrong part of the conversation about bikinis and February!) / family opposition and such / major life changes / Steph and Lisa (and THOSE reactions!) / Jon / Christon / New Year's Eve / tomorrow's movie night. Erica said bye to Nathan later on before she went out, too. The Canucks won 4-1 against the Leafs, and Minnesota beat Chicago 3-1. Nathan drove me home when Eric couldn't find his car keys - when we exited the house, there was a good reason why. His dad had taken the car!
