sooooooooo yesterday was absolutely 100% perfect and complete bliss. i'm grounded this weekend, to do homework but my mom allowed me to go somewhere with the guy i like (who likes me also) because he had been insisting this whole week that i would go. he talked my mom into it and told her what we'd be doing. he wouldn't tell -me- where we were going or what we would be doing though. all i knew is that we were going somewhere and that we were getting chinese food also. i figured yesterday was going to be the day he asked me out, so i was all excited to go.
he called after school and we had figured out everything and gotten directions and all. i was to pick up the chinese food he had ordered because he was already down at the spot i was supposed to meet him at, and after i got the chinese food i was supposed to go and meet him at the spot where we were supposedly going to walk to the actual spot. so i pick up the chinese food and i had brought a thermis, in which i had them fill up with some hot tea so that we wouldn't freeze to death (his idea).
so i've got the food and i get there after my mom getting lost and us looping around everywhere, and i had been late. so i apologized to him 8 million times, because i felt reeeeeeeeeeeeeally bad...and we started walking towards the actual spot. we walked down this dirt path which led us to this fenced path that we followed and it went out onto one of the beach cliffs. eventually it leads to a square fenced off part where people can just look, but we climbed over the fence and went down further onto the rocks of the cliff. and if you looked out it looked like you were walking into nothing, and that you were in the middle of the ocean. this was around 6 30ish at night so it was freezing, but luckily there was no wind at all. the sky was clear, there was a gorgeous full moon to the left of us, and then if you looked to the right you could see the wharf lit up and the boardwalk and a ton of santa cruz. the lights and buildings were reflected into the ocean which was really calm, and the waves were crashing down below next to us. you could also see the river by the boardwalk and you could see the rides like the giant dipper reflected perfectly into the river, and it was absolutely beautiful.
we're sitting there talking and cuddling so we don't die of hypothermia, and we're just laying on these rocks that are formed perfectly like reclining chairs almost and all of a sudden we hear guitar. naturally out of curiosity we stood up and looked to our left from where the sound was coming from and there was this guy just walked along the shore and playing his guitar and singing his heart out, and it sounded sooo pretty. so we have this gorgeous setting and then we have this music out of nowhere. it was awesome.
then after talking for a while we decided to eat our food and drink the tea. afterwards i got up to look for a spot to set the thermis down that was flat, so it wouldn't fall over. as i got up he asked if we should have the fortune cookies then. and i was like sure. so i turn back around from putting the thermis down and he has something in his hand. i looked down to see what it was and it was this totally smashed and crunched up fortune cookie, and he said "aww one of them got smushed in the bag..." and i said "ah that sucks." so he took out the other one from the bag which had snapped in half and he tried putting it together and gave it to me.
i took the fortune cookie but felt bad about the other one, so i gave him half of mine. and because i'm evil i always read the fortune first, so i pulled out the fortune and at first i thought in my head,"hey this fortune is really small." because normally the pieces of paper are bigger, but it was from a different restaraunt that i hadn't been to so maybe they were different. it had been really dark so it was hard to make out the letters but after opening it up i saw it was hand writing and i thought "woah it's a ghetto fortune", but then i made out the letters into words and it said "will you be my girlfriend?" (later he explained that he had spent 3 hours taking out the original fortune with a needle and then putting the new slip of paper in with tweezers. it originally was hole but the one with it in it had snapped in half when he took it out of the bag, and he thought well i can't give her the broken one because that's rude...so he took the other one and smashed it in his hand and gave me the then better one. back to the story ^.^)
i immediately hugged him and accepted and eventually i ended up getting to making out with him and then we hear something to the right by the boardwalk and look over and someone was setting off fireworks. it was so perfect. so we had this perfect setting and then the fireworks and then the music and agh so awesome. after talking and laying there some more we decided it was time to get up before our limbs snapped off from the freezing temperature.
we walked downtown to the saturn cafe where we got some warm drinks, some fries, and a little bang (which is sooooooooooo good ^.^) and thennnn my mom and sister came to pick us up. my mom ordered some food so we hung out for a bit more talking and such, and then we left and started walking towards the car. my mom and sister were ahead of us and he had grabbed my hand and he was acting all weird and stuff when this really poor (possibly homeless) guy walks up to us and says to him, "man she's gorgeous, like really gorgeous. you better treat her like a queen. she's gorgeous treat her like a queen. you have to kiss her feet tonight, she's gorgeous." and then he walked off. and me and him stood there for a second laughing our butts off like, w.........t.......f........it was classic.
and then we got to my house, where we stayed up talking and laying next to eachother and then eventually fell asleep.
then morning came, and he had to leave.
and that was today ending to my perfect day yesterday. i wouldn't trade it for the world.
