First Date @ MindSay

So we're both pretty excited about what I've got planned, though she doesn't know what we're doing.

Once I pick her up, we're gonna get lunch and then drive down to Atlanta.  We'll get there at about 5pm where we will meet up with my great friend Jason and his girlfriend Virginia, at which point it will turn into a double date.  But the main event of the date will be seeing the band TV on the Radio live.

She's heard a couple of songs by them but hasn't REALLY heard them.  But she said she liked what she heard (she still doesn't know that's what I'm planning... I subtly namedropped and gave her the MySpace page).

But I would enjoy reading any input.  Live concert of a band she hasn't really heard before a good idea?  It's not gonna be a long concert.  They'll play for about an hour and a half.  Would she be more comfortable in the front or sitting down up in the balcony?  I have to admit that TV on the Radio is one of my favorite bands... I would absolutely love seeing them up front.  But I definitely don't want it to cater completely to my tastes.

Thanks guys

So..........*squeels* Date with Number Three was great. Scratch that. Date with Number Three was fantastic!!!!! We went to Ichibans for supper. The food was so good and there was a ton of it! We got a chance to talk and have some fun. :D After supper we went back to his place and talked to his roomates and his friends for a bit before we went and crashed on his couch to watch Death Note. (Wonderful show btw.) We watched four or five episodes before I told him I needed to head home. So now I am home and extremely perky.

YAY FOR BEING PERKY!!!!!!!!!!

Now on to the female emotional mushy things. Sad, but true fact is that I have been lonely. It's been so bad sometimes that all I honestly want is to be held by someone who cares for me. That's all I've wanted for awhile now. Tonight I got that. We curled up on his couch and watched almost three hours of anime. He held me the entire time. We talked and joked around. It was nice and I honestly want to go out and do that again.

Once again...........YAY FOR BEING PERKY!!!!!!!

And last but not least, telling the parents. Dad just grinned at me and asked what I brought back for him. Mom groaned and said "Noelle. Are you talking about the skinny long haired guy? The one that kept waving at you?" I said yes of course. "Insert full name here, NO!" She then proceded to groan and cover her face. I keep hearing the bathroom door in their slam shut so I'm guessing that she pissed and crying.

Anywhooo! I have emails to check so have a lovely night and hopefully a great weekend!

The first picture is my son Gus and his date Emily.  They do look nice together I think.

 

The second picture is my daughter Steph and her date Tanner.  Very nice looking couple. 

 

Overall, I can say we experienced Homecoming to the fullest.  All the kids had fun. (and so did I)

I do hereby dedicate this post to the 4th of July, a good day in general, and a smashingly good date.

No kiss yet, but this is likely do to my acute shyness, and it may be the fact that it's the second date.

Still, a simply stupendous date nonetheless.

Perhaps date 3 will see some kissies? Who knows.

I hope you all satisfied your Pyromaniacal tendencies today.

Cheers!

the more i'm at home, the more i look back at the nostalgia of living here, high school, and all that jazz.  i remember stories upon stories of unbelievable amounts of fun, i remember sights and smells and good times. yet, with all that happiness there is the element of sadness that occurs.  my prime example being the other night, i went on a first date.  i havent gone a first date with any body in a really really long time.  during and after the date,  i missed the familiarity of not being on a first date.  i liked the challenge of figuring out someone new, but at the same time i missed the inside jokes i shared with the one i used to date.  i missed knowing what makes him tick and how he would respond to it.  i missed him.

i suppose that is one of the things you learn after heartbreak, is how to move on.  how to go on that new first date.  how to learn to read someone else of the opposite gender.  how to have a conversation where it isnt already packed with stories from the past.  oh, dating.  how i loathe thee.  one of these days im going to get used to the fact that life is not perfect.  love is not perfect.  but somewhere there is a happy medium that allows us to have the time of our lives. 

to look on the bright side, the date went well.  i had a really fun time and hope i will get to know him better in the future, but right now im not really holding my breath.
