Free Stuff = Yes! (...the company of a cute hippie boy)
My mom and dad are moving down to georgia and giving me their jet ski! i got it yesterday and planned on cleaning it today..but have yet to gotten motivated. it is definitely a great thing to get (for free) but a whole lot went wrong with the whole...process of obtaining the jet ski.
last friday,i went over there after work one day with a guy i work with, who so generously offered to help me by bringing his jeep (trailer hitch!) along for the ride. well..first the jet ski had to be moved by hand, then the trailer had to be moved in front of it. the jet ski was tied up to like..3 different things and its bottom was dragging on the ground, but still in the water, hidden by all the overgrowth from the shore. the trailer was easy..actually i didn't even touch the trailer, andrew just moved it. then we had to move it again because we moved it to the wrong place. then my dads neighbor who said he'd pull it out w/ his atv wasn't home. so we had to wait an hour. then he gets home, tries to pull it out but can't. he ties his atv to his truck. pulls it out. the trailer has a flat tire! gets air compressor / tools. pumps tire up! move jet ski on trailer to andrews jeep. trailer hitch wrong size! hitch is 2 inches ; trailer is 1 7/8 inches. one eighth of an inch! neighbor has 1 7/8 hitch. he gets it. can't get hitch off the jeep. holy shit. tried for like 40 minutes. we left without the jeep after having been there over 4 hours.
i felt like a total jackass! here i am, having never hung out with this guy outside of work before. he totally offered to help, but i didn't think it was gonna take that long. and he wouldn't let me pay for his gas, or buy him beer or anything. and driving out to my parents house is a little over an hour round trip. i figured he'd probably hardly even talk to me after having to move stuff for my parents and waste so much of his time, and make him late for whatever plans he had that night (i didn't get home until almost 9). plus my parents can be a little weird sometimes and people might not even know what they're getting themselves into.
saw him at work monday (i was off all weekend since i was in bristol tn). he not only talked to me, he actually asked if i wanted to try to go get it again because my dad had said they'd be back tuesday to get more stuff. i was blown away. he went through hell (or i mean..i thought it was a tad annoying trying to get it the last time), then still wanted to help! he proceeded to be really nice to me all day at work and even helped me clean my tables at the end of the shift. and he works in the kitchen! i was shocked. well not really, because he was waiting for me to get off work.
we made plans to go back over to my dads tuesday. he had to work and i did not, so we'd be in contact after 1:30. he called me before i called him! i had talked to my dad on the phone and was looking for him in my phone book on my cell and my phone rang. i thought it was kinda crazy.
andrew had a new hitch on his jeep, ready to go. my dad had a bunch of stuff for us to help move too. so we moved stuff, put the jet ski on andrews jeep and headed off. it took a little over 2 hours, but that's including drive time. and we did move a lot of stuff. and it was burning up!
this is where i get conflicted. i get along with guys so much better than girls. and guys are nice to me. i hate thinking that it's because they "like" me. do guys ever just think of girls as a friend only, and they're nice just to be nice. or do they have alterior motives? he knows i have a boyfriend, and he didn't mention his girlfriend until friday. but i wouldn't want my boyfriend helping some other chick out. and! when we were driving back on friday i called adam to tell him i was coming home and he was a little irritated that i'd been gone for like..4 and a half hours when we had plans to go out for dinner..and after i got off the phone adrew was like "was that your boyfriend?" and i told him it was and he said "was he mad?" and i nodded my head. i wonder if his girl knew where he was/what he was doing and if she was mad...especially when it took a good portion of friday night!
i've been friends with guys in the past that adam has not liked me hanging around with. but i've never cheated on him before. i dont think he doesn't trust me i think he doesn't trust the guy. but i don't know if this guy was glad that my man was pissed i was hanging out with him or what. it was a weird question that he asked me. but, i'd rather hang out with guys and i'm always afraid that either the guy is gonna be trying to get with me and i am just like "la la la i have a new friend" or adam's gonna think something is up, when nothing is. i'm laid back, most guys are laid back, i love adam but we are pretty different so its cool to hang around with someone who is like me. but its not what i want all the time. but every now and then i do enjoy the company of a cute hippie boy, i'm sorry i can't help it!
