I think this week has made me extremely arrogant. I am on an ego trip like you wouldn’t believe.
Mostly because...I’m a swinger. I decided that today while Alanna and I were watching Swingers.
That movie is so hilarious. But I shouldn’t start in the middle. I need to flip back to last night. My
adventure...I went to see Shanghai Noon with Dan. Speaking of a funny movie. It was better than
Road Trip. (in my opinion) I don’t know why I liked it so much. I love Jackie Chan. (which is
why I came to another conclusion later today) But the movie...had me almost on the floor
laughing so hard. I haven’t seen a good movie like that in a long time. Anyhow, like I stated in my
last entry, I didn’t consider this adventure as anything more than just that. An adventure...just a
trip to the movies with a friend. We didn’t drive together. He didn’t pick me up, pay for things, or
open the door for me. So I wasn’t about to assume that it was a date. The movie ends...(I’m
thinking, ok. Two hours watching a movie, we didn’t have to talk to each other. I’m cool. It’s not
a date.) Then he asked me to go to Arby’s with him.
~She says that love is for fools that fall behind. And I’m somewhere between. I never really
know why I cannot find my savior.~
So sure. It’s Arby’s. That doesn’t mean anything. We ate. By that time, it was like 1:00am. And I
was a little tired. We talked about everything. A lot about Dan. About how he still likes
Andrea...and about why he decided to stop drinking. We talked about how strange our families
are. I thought mine was disfunctional. It doesn’t even compare to his. He talked about what he
wants. I guess his ultimate goal is to be a good father. Which is like melt your heart/too gooey for
me to talk about. I finally got the chance to confront him about the “incident”. Which would be
the time that I was told that he bad mouthed me to Laurie when he came to school drunk. He
explains it in a completely different way. Then the strangest thing happened. (giggle! Don’t we all
love suspence) I’m sitting there...laughing at one of Dan’s stories, and this group of people walk in. Dan starts
cracking up laughing. So I asked him why. And he’s like, “that guy has on a wife beater. and it’s
only 40 degrees outside. Not only that, but he’s wearing sunglasses. and it’s night time! (laughs)
and they’re not even real Oakley’s!!!” He has got to be the biggest fashion cop ever. The group
kind of walks over to a booth. Then one of them comes back to the soda machine. I looked over
to see if it was Mr. Fashion No No, and I see Andrew. (James cousin of all people) He looks up
and says, “Hey Laura. How are you?”
“Fine. You???”
“I’m good.”
“How’s your sister?”
“She’s good. She’s dating some 28 year old.”
“ya? she’s always gone for the older types.”
“ya. well I’ll see ya later.”
“bye.”
or something like that. He walks away, and Dan’s like, “who was that?!?!” So I explained it was
my ex-boyfriend’s cousin. I used to go to school with him, and I worked with his sister.Then Dan proceeded to make fun of Andrew’s hair. He said he had too much gel in it or
something. and I said like he had room to talk. His hair used to be a big ball of hairy highlighter
yellow gel blob. I guess he got upset that Andrew drew my attention away from him. I mean,
Andrew’s a pretty good looking guy...see, I’m gonna get myself in trouble. The last time I said he
was hot...I did get myself in trouble. Sheesh! Moving on. So I finally left at about 3:00am. No, there were no trademark date things. None at all. So no big deals will be
made of this.
~Venus I thought you blessed me too. So selfish to pursue.~
Alanna called me and woke me up at 1 o’clock this afternoon. Which was cool. I needed to get
off my lazy keister. So I went to her place. (or should I say former place) and helped her move the
last of her stuff over to the new place. We went for Chinese, and just hung out all day. That’s
when we watched Swingers. A movie that all guys could truely appreciate. I told her about last night, and we talked about guys. (like we always do) I told her about
running into Andrew and how mmm girl! Just how nice that boy is. And she’s like, “really? I gotta
meet this guy.” It was a lot of fun. I enjoy chillin’ with Alanna. We do nothing but laugh. At
everything...I get home at about 9 this evening, and I was about to get on the computer to update.
The phone rings...(here’s that suspence thing again) It’s James. He’s talkin’ about...stuff. And
then mentions that he and Andrew were going to go out tonight. I guess I pretty much invited myself. But he didn’t
mind. (he never does) They showed up at 11pm. And I found out that Andrew had to be home at
midnight. So that kind of put a damper on the situation. We ended up at Waffle House. Drinking
orange juice...and talking about Dan. The first question Andrew asked me when I got in the car
was, “So who was that guy you were with last night?” Ahhh! Like I want to explain how much of
a loser I am. James already knows that Dan is the reason we broke up. And when I told Andrew
that, he kind of played around like we don’t know you now. But I told him that Dan made fun of his hair. Then he flipped out. He’s like, “there’s nothing wrong with it? Is there?” and
I of course said no. He’s like, “I know I need to get it cut. But really...there’s nothing wrong with
it?” He’s silly. Silly boys. Like I was going to say that it looks bad. #1: because he’s big, and he
could probably hurt me. #2: I think it looks fine. I think he looks fine. If you knowwhatI’msayin’!
Hahaha! I am in so much trouble. *sigh* So ya. Andrew’s hot. I said it before, I’ll say it again. The boy looks good. I don’t care. But I think James said he’s got a girlfriend.
Oh well. That’s how it always goes for me.
