Actually Friday and Saturday nights were both delightful!
[b]Summary[/b] Last night, several of us went out for dinner and then we caught [u]In Good Company[/u]. It was a good movie. Good for a girls' night or a date, I suppose.
Today was a long day, and a day where I hardly ate. There just was no time. I had a chicken tit, a banana, a handful of gummi bears, a couple handlfuls of chips, a few celery sticks, a piece of cauliflower, and a several finger sandwich thingees.
I have dishes left to do from last night! But it's 3 in the morning on Sunday now, but I am still calling it Saturday night.
So this morning, after I got up, I had to rush out the door to go meet up with some of the people from the Vancouver Asian Film fest. They had a screening for some of the volunteers today. While I was driving down there, I had to call Brendan to make plans for our coffee date. I left a message, and he called me back while I was the screening. After the screening, I rushed off to meet up with him. We chatted for 2 and a half hours, which whizzed right by. Then I had to go because I was meeting Paula to catch a hockey game. I was bit later than I thought I'd be. After the hockey game, we went off to the after party. We danced a bit, and then went off to the pub. At the pub, we ran into some people we once knew...including a guy, Chris, I had a crush on in Grade 8. He didn't remember me, but we talked all night 'til he had to go. Then I came home after I dropped off a couple of people.
[b]My coffee date[/b]
He didn't look familiar to me; I guess I had someone else's face in mind. But that didn't matter. He didn't look 26 either, but I am so glad he had some maturity. We had quite a few things in common: he studied criminology; I studied sociology; then we both went off to technical school after we finished university; we both like to travel and we're into the metropolitan place.
It's a little fuzzy what we talked about, but the conversation flowed pretty well for 2.5 hours. He had a large coffee, and I had a steamed milk with a shot of almond syrup. I dunno. I just felt comfortable with him, and I definitely would like to get to know him better.
Oh. I met him through speed dating. He made 4 other matches that night, including my friend, Kelly. He doesn't really remember her, though. There were 3 that definitely made an impression on him. My other guy didn't email me back, which is fine.
What I liked about him, other than having stuff in common with me, was that he was really down-to-earth. He was kind of cute...looked trim. He's an active guy. I couldn't tell much by looking at his bum. His jeans weren't tight enough. Saying bye was a little awkward. We're supposed to get together after I get back. (I hope nothing pans out with the other matches he made :P )
[b]At the pub[/b]
So Paula and I got to the pub, and we walked around looking for her brother. We actually had walked by the pub earlier, and the people we knew were outside. And I thought one guy was looking at me weird. (Speaking of looking at me weird...Paula bust a gut laughing when she saw some guy checking out my bum at the party...she said it was something about his expression...Too bad I missed it.)
So when we went in, I pointed out the guy that we knew, and we sat down at the table. At the other end of the table, I recognised Chris. He was known for being dorky back in the day, but he sat in front of me in English class....and well, I had a crush on him. He got up and came over and talked to me. I told him I had a crush on him back then. :lol: He was very easy to talk to, and I felt very comfortable with him. He said he was checking me out earlier, but I didn't notice. I rarely notice these kind of things.
At one point, I thought he was going to buy me a drink. He asked me what I wanted to drink, and we got up towards the bar, but then he disappeared. And he also skipped out on paying his bill...so I hope it's not a sign that he's cheap. (Brendan paid for my beverage even though I asked him out, but oh well :? )
We talked about getting together for a date after I got back from Hong Kong, and I gave him my number. We'll see if he calls. He seemed to have a nice upper body.
Well, time to take a delightful shower and go to bed!
