something's in cooking in the oven
literally, and figuratively. i have half of a pizza cooking. and i just met up with the guy from la pena. don't ask me to spell his name but i think it's essid? i'll have to get that straightened out before things go any further to save myself the embarrassment later on!
he came by republique to have a drink with me but had dinner plans with his friend so it was kindof quick. probably better this way in case he was a dud (which he's not). he's very cute, and very nice. easy to have a conversation with and has intelligent things to say. oddly enough, he speaks italian and goes to italy very often. what is it with the italian influence? first juliani, then aldo, now him!
so the verdict: we're definatley going to see eachother again during the week, which i'm happy about (very). i could care less that he's algerian origin (he was born in france and grew up here so..), but i don't want to evoke images of a racaille if i mention his name to someone...cause he so isn't! but whatever, i don't feel i have to justify my interests to anyone just because france fucked up algeria in a war and now has ridiculous racial issues.
anyway....i just got a call from....aldo. and i was a bit taken aback cause i'm like, wait, aldo is on the train going back to rome, and he doesn't speak french! it was aldo, leakhena's friend who fell in love with me on friday. well i think he falls in love every minute, but i made quite an impression on him apparently. anyway, he called to ask me out for a drink but i made an excuse. that's not like me cause a) i don't turn down a bon plan b) i'm single and i can see whoever c) i'm not doing anything tonight!yet... well i turned him down cause frankly he makes me uncomfortable cause i don't know how to address his superfluous-flirtiness. he's really touch feely and unlike leakhena who can lay down the law in an instant, i'm much more shy and just hate that sort of thing. behave dammit!! anyway, i'd rather go out with him and leakhena so atleast she can take the edge of him. he asked me out to dinner during the week for...italian food. what is it?! i don't want to turn him down again cause he is nice and someone cool to go out with, since he knows everyone in the clubs, but beyond that, no. i'm not attracted to him in the least bit either. and although i go for "older men", i think he's over my safety-mark of 30. i wish leakhena was home so i could 'discuss'.
what else? i'm tempted to go to the cinema and get my UGC card but not until i get canal canceled. or maybe i should just stay in and work. riigghhhhttt.
so it seems things have shaped up pretty nicely in the dude department. although aldo (italian) lives in rome, and aldo (french) is ugly and too old for me. but essid is not looking to bad. plus, we can't forget the nigerian viceprez's son. oh fo sho!
ps- essid has a car. bingo. if we do go out, i won't have to pay for my heels to get fixed.
pps- :)
ppps- don't jump down my throat about the france/racial issue comment. i can say just as many horrible things about the US but i prefer to not even get started on that. so yeah, swallow it even if it's hard.
