Where oh where do I start..
Well most of you who follow me on Twitter know that I had a date on Saturday night. I had talked to the guy on the phone for a good week and a half. I figured that was enough time plus he asked me out so hell WHY NOT! Anyway, he drove down from Northern Virginia for the date..He picks me up at my door like a proper gentleman. He opens the car door. Ok well wait.. let me tell you about the car.. the first thing that came to my mind was:
The car was I think a CAPRICE, it was CANDY APPLE RED, with 20 inch rims and these little skull thingies for the locks. ( I was already sideyeing) BUT I try to be open minded. Why judge a man by his car? Right? I think.. ummm yeah I might need to go back to being picky patty.
Anywho, we go and see Law Abiding Citizen first before dinner.
GOOD MOVIE but I jumped, the 6’3 date beside me jumped and the whole audienced jumped at more than once scene. IT had suspense, action, blood, gore..the works. Someone actually had their 3 year old in the movie I was .. well SHOCKED! So after the movie we went to dinner. I ABSOLUTELY hate when men on a first date keep asking you “where do you want to go?” “what do you wanna do?” ughhh. So I decided to keep it local to the movie and my home and go to DuClaw.
Its around 10pm, so we sit down in the booth and we begin to talk. See we talked over the phone prior to the date and quite a bit but there would always be awkward silence on the other end. He said he was just listening that’s why he was so quiet but on this date.. he was SILENT BOB. We sat across from each other with ABSOLUTELY nothing to say. I mean he told me about. I felt like I was probing and then he would respond. When I probed though I found out a couple of things that made me go ummm yeah .. NEXT:
- He’s not that ambitious
- His verb/noun conjugation is lacking
- He told me he was the most successful one out of his friends. (IDK if that’s good or bad)
- He isn’t a conversationalist
- He’s interested in getting to know me better (womp, womp)
I was bored. I mean bored to tears. I’m actually glad we went to the movie first because at least I was able to see a good flick. I know for sure there will not be a second date. When you run to the bathroom and twitter about being bored out of your mind well you must be. I’m the kind of person that can talk to anyone and not struggle for topics but talking to him was like plucking the hairs under my arms with tweezers ..one by one (shout out to Shannon for the analogy). I didn’t finish my meal. I told him I was full and packed it on up. He drove me home. THE END.
Sunday:
Woke up early and went to a conference with Jennypenz. Then we went and bought some new winter boots and I then lunch at Red Rock Canyon Grill. They had THE BEST Tortilla Soup I have ever tasted and the bartender Michelle made me one of the best vodka gimlets I’ve had in a while. We then departed after several drinks and lunch and went to Galaxy Billards to watch the Raiders/Eagles game. Raiders WON! Jennypenz who is a Raiders fan proceeded to yell at everyone there who was an eagles fan “Do you need a tissue?!”, “Why are you leaving there is 1 minute left?,” and told those who dared to approach our table “BEAT IT you LOSER!”
The weekend was a HOOT! This week is HOWARD HOMECOMING!!
I took a year off from Homecoming last year.. I’m excited about what’s to come this year.
What did you all do this weekend?
PS: I swear the date was funnier and poor painful but for some reason it was hard to write about. I either came off like an arsehole or the date didn’t seem as bad as I felt it was on the inside.. IDK .. maybe I need creative writing classes.lol
Til next time,
Jolie.
