because im a girl, and i notice these things.
so i had a perfect weekend. it wasnt good in every way, so i appriciated the even better bits that came along.
ill start here- saturday at six was the begining of the wingding, we had dinner, went to the jr class play, and then to the brick house, then to the basement of our wing to play games. and after that- a movie.
so theres the short, but it really was a lot of fun. more so than id expected.
then, i got to bed around three, and jesse called me at eight fifty to wake me up for church at nine thirty. we went to bethel, where weve attended since i got here. i got back to my dorm around twelve thirty and then went to lunch just before one.
i called jenn, told her i was a bit nervous, and talked to her for twenty minutes or so, then ate my lunch, and headed back to my room. jason was comming to get me at two- so i had about half an hour to calm my nerves. i decided to paint my toes, and then take count of monte cristo down stairs to wait in the lobby- but when i went down, i took my book, and my phone, and my keys. no shoes. (that way, when jason got here, id have a minute to run back upstairs and grap shoes, and i would know who was with him.)
jason wasnt with anybody, hed borrowed kaities car, and was by himself. i wore my pink flips, my red dickies, my blue striped button down, and hot pink eyeliner with faded purple shadow. ill just say- i looked great yesterday. and i was beaming.
so, jason came around, and opened my door for me (every time i got in the car.) and told me that they were going to meet us there. that was a relief to me, because id been wondering if any part of our date would actually be a date... so we had those few minutes to just talk. he asked what i went to see saturday night, because we saw one another at the theater. hed seen the incredibles.
we got to boondocks, and waited for a while for the other car to get there. i still felt a little outa place, and my second relief was that melinda came too- so that made the gourp six. jason and i, billie and kaitie, and melinda and josh. i felt less like i was sitting before my jury, and more like we were all out together.
i was kicking it at minni golf, for the first nine, then i was terrible- so josh won, and jason and i got second. (we tied.) we played again at the other course, then we drove go carts.
the way home, jason and i had josh and kaitie in the car too- and we went to jasons house. kaitie was doing her laundry, and i had a chance to talk to her about the jr class play (because she was there too on saturday). we also played hungry hungry hippoes for a while, and then jason and josh talked about going to pickle (a place, with hills, and dirt, where you drive without roads) because josh has a new truck, and jason has his old chevy. kaitie had a meeting, so it was just the three of us, jason asked if i wanted to come, and i said sure. id already told him that i didnt have any home work that would stop me from having fun on sunday.
so in jasons truck, that reminds me so much of my blue truck at home, we drove way out to south nampa area. and can i say that it was a lot of fun? the best part- was watching the sun set over the flat plain that is the nampa vally and then getting to the top of this big hill, and looking out at all the lights of the city. it was dark already, and surprisingly not freezing, but the city just sparkled. if you wanna get to second base with me, thats the way to do it, show me city lights. ;) it reminded me so much, of being home.
on the way home from wherever we were, jason took me past lake lowel, and the dam. the lights on the water were so pretty, and the curvy empty road was nice too. in the course of conversation, we got back to motercycles... and jason asked me if i like them. with out thinking about what i was saying, i told him what i tell everyone- ive always wanted to be the girl on the back of a bike. i blushed in the dark of his cab, and he just glanced at me and said that hed take me out for a ride sometime after it got warm if i wanted. i said okay- but so quiet, im sure he didnt hear. im fairly sure though, that he liked my answer.
i thought jason was taking me home- but we went back to his place again after the drive. he got a bloody nose when we got there, had to hurry inside, and unlike most girls, i get them all the time- so it didnt even phase me. i think that surprised him too, i told him the story about getting that thing stuck up my nose to make it stop bleeding...
we just hung out in the kitchen/ dining area, and talked about nothing for a while. talked about alcohol when he offered me something to drink because they had a bit in the fridge. he asked if ive ever drank, and i told him not here, but i have. so we talked about my first drink in pensacola, and why i drink only with jenn. (thats not to say, that once i get to know him, i wouldnt drink with him, its just to say that now, i prolly wouldnt.) and he took my answer really well, he knew why ive only drunk with people that i trust, before i even told him.
we talked about movies, and that i havent seen tombstone- wich i guess, is a travestie. so we put in tombstone, and i curled up on the couch in the corner, next to jason. he was sitting right in the middle, so we were just cozy. but through out the movie, every time he got up, he sat back down a little farther away... (and being the girl that i am, i picked up on every bit of that.) also, during the movie, kaitie came back over, and after a bit, melinda showed up too.
also durring the movie, jason had a call on his cell, it was lee, the girl that this jason and sarah rumor was started for in the first place... she needed to borrow a plunger, and was comming over to get it. when she got there, kaitie and josh both left the room, and lee saw me, sitting on the couch where jason had been, watching a move. kaities car was out from, and jason often borrows it to take a girl out... she was surprised, and maybe a little upset. it was priceless though.
later in the night kaitie was doing something (i dont remember what) and jason made a comment about little sisters- i put on my surprised and pretended to be offended, becuase im a little sister! but kaitie and i were alone there, as everyone else in the room has them, and isnt one. kaite told jason- thats no way to get to second base...
and i nearly died laughing.
all through out the day he was claiming to be pure and spotless. and about the third time he said it, i asked him, are you trying to convince me, or yourself? josh doubled over and jason pretended to get his feelings hurt but admitted he was trying to convince me. (i dont need convincing- i kinda like him the way he is.)
kaitie had a mikes to drink, and was telling me that she really likes those, even though theyre called bitch beer- i told her i know, and the lime is my favorite. she was surprised- but shed assumed (i guess from her knowledge from jesse) that i was so innocent. and she wasnt there when we were talking about the beer in the fridge. i told her, i wouldnt use the word innocent to drscribe me. and that some things shes heard from jesse may be true, but many things, probably arent.
that was my moment of feeling like i was off the hook completely with kaitie. and i was so relieved.
when the movie finished, jason realised it was eleven, and he had a paper that needed submitted online by midnight- that he hadnt even started yet. so he left the room to write his paper, and i sat with the other three homeworkers... i evaluated kaitie's bible study presentation for her, and talked to josh a little more once kaitie and melinda left. about half an hour later, jason had finished his paper, and got it submitted online. i told him he should prolly take me home, so he could get some sleep- becuase he had to be at work at seven this morning.
we took joshs truck, and jason opened the door for me again. the ride home was pretty quiet, jason said when he got in the truck, that hed pretty much monopolized my day- but i told him i didnt mind. id been thinking through out the day, whose idea was it to invite me? jasons? or kaities? i still just didnt have the nerve to ask. he drove around to the brant center entrance, and it was blocked (because it was late at night) so he had to turn around and go back to the campus drive to take me to my dorm. as he turned around, he said, well, looks like ill have to take you back home with me.
i caught it- but didnt say anything. it was great. heh, even writing that, i just got a little shiver. :) anyway- so we got to my dorm, i couldnt open the door, but i finally found the latch. he walked me to the front, and just before we got to the doors i said-
i have to know, whose idea it was to ask me to come today? if it was yours, or kaities?
he looked at me, said, you really have to know? and i told him yes (probably the first time id said yes instead of sure all night). he said that it was his idea to ask me, and kaitie'd encouraged him to do it. and that, i think is a great answer. i opened the door, and started to walk inside, but jason didnt follow me like i though he would. i think he wasnt altogether sure what to do if he walked inside. so, caught off gaurd as i was, i turned around, jason standing just outside the opened door, and i standing just inside the opened door. i just took a few steps to get to him and gave him a long hug. i dont remember what i said, but i think i said thanks, and goodnight. i was thinking so many different things that id wanted to say, because i expected him to step inside with me for a sec- that i got all mixed up inside. i never said that the lights were my favorite part of the night, or asked him if hed had a good time. so, i was good, and didnt kiss him. ill go again, if he asks me.
i really had a great time. a really great time.
i came up to my room, where the blinds are nearly always open (though im not sure jason knows what room is mine) and stood at the window to see him drive away.
so- there you go.
