Being social

acquiescenceThis has been a week of getting out there and stuff - for I am a social butterfly ... or something to that effect. (affect? I'm pretty sure effect is right, you know after all those years of earning that English degree you'd think I'd know this, but I am dumb.)
Went to do my Tuesday thing with TNG friends, where we hang out at a bar for a few hours just catching up on our weeks and stuff. It was good seeing them again, been going mostly regularly to that for months now. Since ... last June I think, which is kind of impressive.
And then yesterday there was a date.
With a boy.
We met on OkCupid, which okay weird and all but I'm not above meeting people online, and sure I only signed up to take quizzes but why not meet people while I'm there too?
Anyway, we were going to go out this past weekend, going to see Watchmen, because all his friends had seen it already and wouldn't go again - and I loved it so I was more than happy to go again. But apparently he was kidnapped this weekend so there was no movie seeing, but it was rescheduled for yesterday. And then rescheduled again for yesterday afternoon.
So he came and picked me up and opened my car door for me, which was very nice I thought. And then we were off - and we got to the movie way early so we just sat out in his car and talked for a while, about college and the different parts of town we live in and how I stay mostly south and he stays mostly north and how we almost never go this far north/south. It was amusing.
And then there was the movie - which I enjoyed once again.
And then we headed home - and the way back was a bit more awkward than the way there. The radio ended up being switched on about halfway through the ride since apparently we sucked at talking anymore, lol. And then he dropped me off at home and we said our good byes and that we'd see each other soon.
And apparently just as I was getting out of the car my brother pulled up to the house, and he couldn't pull into the driveway like normal since we were there so he pulled around in the street and he and his girlfriend just stared at us, and I found out later once I'd gone inside that they followed him! As he left the neighborhood - I'm sure that was great.
So that was my date, It wasn't a complete success but it wasn't a total failure either, not sure if we'll go out again or not - though I don't think I'd mind if I got asked again.
Tonight was dinner with dad - haven't seen him in more than a month or so, he came down to meet the german exchange student, and stuff. And yeah. So that's my life these days. Very exciting and stuff.
