Have you ever had one those nights where nothing goes as plan and turns up even better?
Well Thursday I had plan to hang out with Earl and his new boyfriend Mark. I invited them to come over to have for some coffee and I can get a chance to meet Mark, which I’ve been hearing great things about from Earl. Mark had the three major things. He’s tall, dark, and very handsome. I was so happy for Earl. Mark went straight to my art gallery. He said he notice it when he was pulling up to my apartment. Mark told me he draws too. He loves my art work. So he has cool points with me. I made some coffee and set up my table with the coffee settings, and we went to the task of getting to know one another and enjoying the coffee and muffins. But they had to leave because they had plans to be somewhere. I invited them to come anytime.
After Earl and Mark left, I remember Dan calling me asking me to come over later. My phone wasn’t working for some reason, so I went a head over to Dan’s place. I told Dan what happen to my phone and he had me call the tech support of T-Mobile and I had to listen to some snotty rude guy who decided to make fun of me because I went over my minutes. I mean he can just tell me, “I’m so sorry sir; your phone was shut off because you went over your minutes.” And when I asked, how come no one called me to warn me? He went off, “I don’t understand sir; why would we do that?” Now I work for a call center and I know it’s hard to call everyone, so I told him that and he continue making fun of me, so I hung up on him.
Dan could tell I was upset so he suggested going out. So he went and took a shower and gotten dress. I was watching Will and Grace. There is something about Karen and Jake can make me feel better. Dan looked really cute in his outfit, and when I complement him, he just shrugged it off and thanked me. We went to Maude’s. I love Maude’s everyone has to go there sometime. And it was a prefect night to enjoy a nice Chi Latte. Well when we walked to Maude’s Dan mention he wanted to play some chess. I remember how good he is at chess so I wasn’t looking forward to it. Luckily I saw Ricky talking to a woman. I wave at them and came over to say Hi. They invited us to join them. So I told Dan a couple of friends invited us to join them. Dan found a chess board and came outside. I was in deep conversation with Ricky and his friend, to whom sadly I forgot her name. He told me he was performing Improve at the Hippodrome.
We just chatted until Maude’s close then we just walked around Gainesville and went into a shop where this guy was dancing to some really good India music. We walked by clubs and went into tattoo places and just talked and get to have an adventure. We walked by a shop called Bowl’s a Cereal Joint. We made plans to meet again the next day for lunch. So we walked back to my car and I took them home and agree to come back the next day.
The next day we meet at Bowl’s all but Dan he didn’t show up, but they had a red head guy name Jeremy was there. We all enjoy our sandwich but we totally loved the black grapes they were the best. After Bowl’s we all wanted to check out Wise’s Drug Store. As soon as we walked in, it felt like we just stepped back in time. There was a soda fountain and they made milk shake. Ricky and I had to sit in the booth and we both order milk shakes. They had a friend meet us at Wise’s and it was Lola. Lola is this wonderful woman who was in a play with Earl and we fell madly in love with her. And as soon as we saw each other we both got excided and were very loud and gave each other hugs.
If anyone meets Lola and not loves her, there is something wrong with you. After Wise’s we went into this thrift store right next to Wise’s and we all fell in love with it. I had more fun picking out outfits for Lola than for myself. I was talking to Ricky and he was trying on belts and I was talking about how I’m so shopping here as soon as I get money. I really could use a new wardrobe. All in all I had a great time hanging out with these people and hope to hang out with them again.
