This weekend was amazing. In some ways, not the amazing I expected, but still amazing. Okay, so Friday night I went into the ATL with Bob and Meredith to see Cartel play at Under The Couch. Three other bands were playing, Brandsten, The Umbrellas and The Rocket Summer. All of them were good, but Cartel and The Rocket Summer were the best. Especially Cartel. Especially because I got to see Nic and Ryan, two members of Cartel who are friends of mine from high school. But I really loved seeing Ryan. I didn't realize how much I missed him until I saw him again. He's so fun. And we're gonna hang out and talk when he's not on tour. Fun times! The funniest thing was the response when I saw Nic, Ryan and Chuck, their merchandise guy and another friend from high school, for the first time in FOREVER. I walked up to Nic to say hey and he was like "holy shit! what are you doing here!" and then when I saw chuck come out I got his attention and he said (can you guess)"holy shit! how are you?!" Then Nic went and got Ryan and he had basically the same response. It was great. The show was really amazing. I was so impressed. I knew they were good, but I didn't realize how good they were. We didn't get back to Berry until about 3a.m. but it was well worth it.
Saturday was formal and Brian came up to go with me. We went with Monic and Johnny to Chattanooga to eat at this AMAZING restaurant. It was SO GOOD. Ridiculously expensive, but really good. monic had to meet Johnny's mom a week before planned. Ha! She'll hate me for this, but it was really funny. I was suppressing a laugh/smile the whole time. She was SO nervous! But she did really well and only hiccupped twice. Then we went back to berry and danced the night away.
Love's recital was BEEE-autiful! What a voice. it's ridculous really how talented she is, plus she had good food at the end. hehe!
Okay, so here's my big confession. I expected too much from this weekend, particularly Brian coming up. But now I know that he doesn't like me, at least as far as I can tell from last night. But it's good because I think because I'm so stubborn, this is the only way I would have let it go. So now I'm done with that and glad to be. I was in a pretty pissy mood this morning, especially because he left to drive two hours home right after the dance at about 1:30 a.m., which, made me think that he REALLY didn't want to be there, but I just prayed all day and I'm really glad about it now. I'm gonna be in PCB all summer and then in Australia. I really don't need to have someone that I'm so connected to. God is faithful. He answers my prayers the way He knows is best, not the way I want them to be. Thank goodness.
The thing is, all night I pretty much knew it. He never said I looked nice or opened a door for me or anything, things that are very high on my list of things a guy should do. I think we'll be able to be friends though, and that's what I prayed, that if nothing happened then I could just get to know him better. So that's that. Over and done with.
*****EDIT!******
ALright, I needed to add something here. I was a little frustrated with how things turned out this weekend at first, but I must say it was awfully nice of Brian to drive all the way up here, spend so much money on dinner and then go all the way back. I am forever grateful. He didn't have to come at all but he did, what a good friend.
I guess I should stop procrastinating now. I need to find monic and rub aloe all over her..........hehe. Poor girl.
