A short note on what's going on with me
So uh, New Year's Eve was pretty awesome. I went to a formal dress party, and then ended up at a local bar at 1 AM, still dressed up. The bar was open til 3 AM that night, because of some legal technicality, so I was there until closing time, and it stayed insane the whole time. The important part--I ended up talking to this girl I've known casually for a long time. We talked for like an hour, and I decided to ask her for her number. Since we've known each other for a long time, I have no idea if she took this number-asking to be me trying to "hang out" or if she just thought I was being a friend, but whatever--she gave it to me. And for the record, it was the former (I've always thought she was cute). But when she gave it to me, she was all "I don't really ever answer my phone, and I'll check my voicemail, but probably not for a few days. Really, the best way to get an answer from me is to text me."
So--today I texted her to see if she wants to hang out sometime soon. I waffled a bit about whether to text her, or to just call and leave a voicemail, but I decided that if she said texting was the best way to get a response, I'd take that at face value. So I texted her. That was a bit over an hour ago. I haven't heard anything back, but for all I know she's at work or something. We'll see what happens in the next day or two. If I never hear back, I guess I'll call her and leave a voicemail, on the off chance that she never got the text. But if that's the route I end up going, I won't be expecting a response. Hell, I don't really expect a response as it is (my cynicism about this kind of stuff is truly boundless). But I asked a girl for her number, and that's important, because it was the first time in my life I ever did that. So hey, important milestone, or something.
Hope everyone's doing well.
