feet, friends and frenching

A lot has happened since I last wrote. Well, most of the time I've been lazing around doing nothing, but you'll be surprised how time-consuming that is. Also, in the few times I've actually dragged myself out of bed to do something vaguely constructive/social (I can't lock myself away all summer, after all!) shit's gone down.
Firstly, I got another boyfriend - and, just as quickly as we got together, we broke up again.
I should fill you in on the background story. Me and Ed have known each other since sixth form college. He was 17, I was 16. I'd always liked him, but my friend Gemma was going out with him and I didn't want to try muscling in on what they had as they seemed very happy together. I left college due to illness and met up with the guys a few times after that, but eventually due to numerous factors we ended up drifting apart.
Fast-forward to July 2008, and Ed adds me on facebook. He and Gemma broke up two years ago, and he's now single. Sure enough, he's asking me how I am and we catch up on things. He's still in the territorial army like he was at college, but has joined the officer training corps whilst studying Programming at uni. He ends up inviting me out with his mates the following Tuesday for dinner and drinks, and happy to see him and the others again, I agree. I don't really figure he likes me back (I don't know why he would, to be honest) but am pleased just to hang out with him and my other friends after so long.
One thing quickly leads to another, and a slightly drunken Ed and I end up making out, following a confession on his part that he fancies me and that my feelings weren't unrequited after all! We spend two weeks together, just hanging out and chatting (amongst other things.) I'm really glad we're together but the fact I'm leaving in a few weeks keeps preying on my mind, and apparently his too - we end up discussing things and deciding mutually that it's best for us not to get any more serious with this all on the horizon. Furthermore, because he might be joining the army full-time after his degree, he can't promise me anything once I get back, either - so we resolve to stay friends, which has so far worked.
I won't lie, I want him still to like me "in that way" and for him to wish for us to get back together some day - but, obviously, we can't promise each other anything and nothing can be set in stone or answered right now. I just have to move on and accept it, I guess. Life's unfair sometimes.
I've also gotten a foot injury checked out last week, that's been bugging me for some time. My doctor told me it was either tendinitis or a stress fracture of the metatarsal, and I'm getting it x-rayed on the 20th August. Hopefully, it'll shed some light on the matter and offer me some peace of mind before I go to China. I want it sorted out beforehand, really, so it won't get complicated while I'm there.
In happier news, I've spent lots of time seeing people before I leave the country in just sixteen days. How crazy is that!? Time flies, eh?
Last night I got back from seeing lauren in Malvern, which was great. We played Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Wii, which I have a newfound love for. I am tempted to buy a Wii just so I can play Brawl. I also spent the weekend in Richmond seeing my friend Steph and other people from deviantart who I was pleased to catch up with!
Other than that, life's been kinda uneventful.
UPDATE 15/08: I got excellent grades in my exams and have gotten a place at the world-renowned royal holloway, University of London! I'm so proud of myself and can hardly believe that the past three years of college education have come to such a wonderful close!
