Oh God.

I have resolved to ask Owen out for a drink. After the grading, though, because we'll both be less wound-up, and hopefully more relaxed means happier and more prone to optimism and saying yes to things. We shall see, I suppose. If he says no, I'm going to try and calmly request that he not start avoiding me and making things awkward, because I'd still like to be his friend, even if I can't be more than that. If he says yes, I need to steel myself and not scare him away by leaping at him/screaming/crying/falling over.
