So my date is tonight in TWO HOURS. I may or may not post a picture of my outfit, but it's basically jeans, a tank top, and a black wrap/sweater thing that has no buttons or ties but some nice frilly stuff where they would otherwise be. I FINALLY got a hair cut and color yesterday; my gray was threatening to take over my face but it has been whipped back into submission. I also got my eyebrows and prepubescent mustache taken care of.

The only problem? In anticipation of this day, or because I had caffeine late in the day, or because I've pretty much always been an insomniac, I got maybe .5 hours of sleep last night, and a very large part of me wants to call off this date in favor of going to sleep right now at 5 in the afternoon. The rest of me is more vocal than the larger part of me, so I'm not canceling the date, but I'm just throwing that out there. I am very tired.

This may or may not count as one of the lamer things I have done, but I have prepared a list of hilarious questions (or, what a normal person would call "icebreakers") for the date and typed them into the notes on my phone. I will whip this out in case conversation drags. Or I may tell him up front that I have prepared a list of questions in case the conversation drags. Maybe he will find that witty enough to ask what the questions are, and I will not need to worry about coming up with talking points at all, and just read the questions all night long. There are maybe 11 of them, which could potentially take all of dinner.

I am such a spazz. Also, I think this may be the first "first date" I have been on ever. Randomly making out with people while drunk and then dating them later certainly doesn't count, and dating friends you met over the internet probably doesn't count either.

win a date with merrin
