A Non-Date
[8:18pm] arrive at our designated meeting point, Sweet Peppers Deli. I am early (as I planned) and I am hungry.
[8:21] order a grilled chicken salad and a dr pepper.
[8:24] go sit outside, crack open a book and attempt to look intellectual. wish that I had bought those fake emo glasses.
[8:31] my salad arrives. I gingerly place my book down and begin to pick at the salad. it might look bad if I’ve eaten all of it before he arrives, even if I am really hungry.
[8:38] he calls and says he’ll be another fifteen minutes. I am slightly irritated.
[8:40] he walks up. ha. a joke. my irritation fades. so does my chicken salad.
[8:41] we hug. he smells good. I wonder if I smell good. I decide to think that I do. positive thinking, positive thinking.
[8:47] he isn’t eating. this makes me nervous. I try not to get honey mustard on my face or jeans.
[8:53] making small talk. he likes my book. he is reading a chuck palahuniuk book that Troy owns, but I have not read yet. I decide I will start on this immediately.
[9:12] talk about favorite movies. he loves The Little Mermaid and Fight Club. I try not to ask him to marry me. this is successful.
[9:21] he talks about wanting to move to Florida. I think this is splendid and tell him I am going to Panama City soon. he seems impressed.
[9:28] we decide it is time to go to the theater. we both are anxious to see batman. we take his car which is very nice and also clean. I express my jealousy and he tells me about the car he really wanted - it is a car I would have preferred also.
[9:32] tickets for batman have been obtained. he pays for mine, which I did not expect. I think I remember specifically asking him not to earlier. oh well.
[9:34] we sit down in the theater and resume our chat. he’s not as cute in the dark, (he’s not visible at all) but I manage.
[9:40] the movie begins. he constantly leans over to tell me something or seems to be smiling at me. I am overcome with glee.
[10:12] I decide that I am in love with Batman. I also have to go pee.
[10:23] I finally tear myself away from Batman long enough to go pee.
[10:32] Batman rages on. I fall deeper in love.
[10:47] I notice there is still a nice, cute boy next to me. he smiles at me. considering the intangibility of Batman, I smile back.
[12:16] the movie is over. we walk out to his car. he immediately engages me in conversation. we talk about the finer parts of this movie and others. he is intelligent. he can keep up with me. I like him.
[12:28] he returns me to my car. he tells me he had fun and insists we do it again. I agree. I hope I don’t sound insincere.
[12:38] we hug again. he still smells good.
[12:43] I get in my car, I smell me. I do smell good afterall.
[1:04] he calls to make sure I got home okay. he promises to call on Monday. we still have to have a Family Guy marathon. I am tickled
[1:18] I fall asleep thinking of fun new things I can try with new boy - like canoeing. I hope he’s never been canoeing before.
[it is now 10:54 on monday with no word from ole boy.
man, I'm good at this reading people thing]
