over
the writing thingy for the last month is officially over. yeeha. i can sleep in tomorrow. though i do have to get up sort of early, since i am getting my hair done before my trip to chicago on tues.
i have a deadline for a piece of writing. will write more when that is complete.
peace.
the playah’s name
…for me. yes, he’s already made up a nickname for me (and i one for him). he calls me “HEELS.”
when he first said it, i was like, WHAT? what did you call me?
heels. you know. you got on those high red heels.
yep. i did have the new red shoes on. four inch heels to be exact. and STILL he was a lot taller than me.
when i’m wearing them, i am six feet tall, but he’s 6 feet 5 inches, so there you go.
my nickname for him? BIG MAN.
so original. he seems to like it. chuckles when i say it.
dammit. why do i always like the playahs? sigh.
okay okay
we had coffee yesterday. pretty comfortable with him and easy to talk to him. then he asked if i wanted to walk around a little? ok. i had my camera so we walked a bit and i took some coolish photos. then we were both hungry so he asked if i wanted to have dinner? sure. we had greek and then said our goodbyes. it was nice. i told him i wanted to go very very very slow. as in, friends ONLY. he seemed to understand.
he did call tonight, after all. said he must have dialed my number earlier by mistake. we laughed about it, since i had been reluctant to give out my phone number and then that ends up being his first call to me.
so we’ll see. i said i wasn’t up to going out tonight. he seemed fine about it.
did i name this guy? i’ll call him THE COUNSELOR.
shopping for my trip
i bought a cool little red purse and a big orange bag (muted orange in case you were worried about my color choices) for my trip to chicago next week. it’s imperative that i have the correct traveling bags. i mulled over the bag issue for like, an hour, but finally settled on two that will be useful not only on my trip, but also long after i am home. not only am i a shoe-aholic, but a bag-aholic as well. there were still two other bags that i may just have to go back and get. a good bag to a tea–er is like gold.
i also bought a new pair of comfy shoes with cork in them. cork is the best. they are not hideously unfashionable either, but, they ARE comfortable for walking, so don’t expect any snazzy new shoe shots of them.
and lastly, the little travel book on chicago, with a number of walking tours in it. i will be alone for two days, at least, during the day, i mean–so i have to amuse myself. i was thinking of an architecture tour and not sure what else the other day. book shopping? bookstores? any cool ones i can’t go to around here?
so, i’m getting psyched.
men, again
so i said i’d write more about the date last night, but i don’t really feel like it. he WAS very nice, but today, i don’t feel that i’ll be attracted to him, and i already know it and that sucks, but i think it’s true. ugh. anyway. he wanted to do something tonight and he said he’d call at 4:30 but he didn’t call. he did call earlier in the day, but the message was not him speaking, it was an extended version of some rap or r and b song. seriously. he never said a word so i finally hung up and deleted it. it was pretty annoying. and somehow it made me feel like he’s got “issues.” maybe he accidently dialed me. or. maybe he’s dead. he called, dropped over and therefore never left a message or hung up. hope it’s not the last option.
heard from the PLAYAH also today. he txted me first. this from he who says he hates texts. okay. whatever. he asks if i am out at the restaurant/bar i met him at on friday.
no. why would i be?
so i text back a simple question mark.
he texts back.
i’m annoyed and say call me.
so he does.
then he starts teasing me he’s coming over. uhm. no you’re not. we go back and forth about this.
he’s laughing and i’m annoyed because he’s not asking me out.
so i just say this “you’re not going to ask me out, are you?”
what? i called to see what you were up to.
yeah, okay. i told him he was just playing games and i wasn’t into it.
he said ‘yeah, we’re gonna fight aren’t we?”
this man is 47 YEARS OLD.
he’s the baby of his family. and the only boy. remind me NEVER to date another BABY of the family again (online crush is the BABY too, not that i’ve actually dated him, but i’m just saying…thinking it means they are SPOILED)
he said we’d go out.
i told him not to wait too long.
he said why? because you’ll be gone?
no, i said, because i’m getting annoyed.
