Nov. 17th, 2002 06:01 pmhaven't really updated in a couple of days...
lets see... thursday night, r. called me as i was getting ready to get out of work, and asked if i'd go salsa dancing with him... a friend of his from school was having people gather at sophia's for her birthday and he didn't feel like going alone.
a new experience is a new experience, so i said yes : )
got home, ate dinner, showered, vegged for a tiny bit and got ready to go.
we ended up spending a bit longer then expected in the 'drinking stage of the evening, and ended up missing the lessons. oops. will have to be more careful about that next time : )
at some point, we made it upto the dancefloor and r. and i had a blast : ) we were both tipsy and didn't give a shit what we looked like out there, and just had fun. and i'm really glad he had just as much fun as i did and wasn't embarrassed by me. means we'll have to try it again sometime (with lessons!) and overall, it was a pleasant surprise to dance for over an hour, especially as i was in 3 or 4 inch heels.
r. dropped me off at home, and i was supposed to go see him... but, after a few minutes of being back, it became apparent that i shouldn't be driving - all three drinks i had had almost two hours earlier were hitting me all at once. ouch. he came to see me, and i was an utter wreck by the time he arrived. still feel sorta bad about that...
on friday i had to pop into the dr's office in the afternoon, and left work an hour early for that.
after getting home from that, i prepped for the evening and went out for a sushi dinner. sushi always cheers me up, and i was in a decent mood to begin with, so it was good : )
during dinner a bunch of the evening plans got rearranged, but i still got to see harry potter with her and him (and his brother) and feel really bad because apparently she tried to get a hold of me during the movie, but i was looking for a call from a different number : /
i think i enjoyed the first movie better. this movie seemed choppier, and left too many of the wrong kinds of questions. which of course doesn't mean that i didn't enjoy it...
after that, he and i popped into MR. it was a bit weird, as barely anyone we knew was there, but that didn't end up being a bad thing : )
yesterday got off to a very late start, and it was 9:30 before i came home... as the plans i had weren't happening, and noone seemed to be around to make new ones, i just hung out here and finished up cat's cradle, which was good. of course, now i have a dilemma. i figured the trip to CA would be a good time to read bug sur, as i can't imagine what reading kerouac without having immediate travel plans could be like, and i'm not sure if a week and a half is a short enough period of time... but, i'm not sure i could finish another book before the trip if i were to start it now, just because i don't get large chunks of time for reading as often as i should... and i have schoolstuff that takes priority over pleasure reading (and that will be much worse next semester). hrmph.
today, i woke up to voices at 9am. i prolly wouldn't have woken up if i wasn't having an annoying dream, too (though i can't remember what the dream was about now). it used to be that if i could hear someone talking, it meant they were talking too loudly. so, it being 9am and me being cranky, i stumbled out of bed and into the kitchen, to see him talking to her at a totally normal volume, remembered that there isn't nearly enough walls between my room and the common space and stumbled back to bed, determined to get more z's.
it took a while to fall back asleep, and a part of me regrets not having just stayed up... but i think a part of me would regret not sleeping in if i had, so it doesn't matter much. i slept in, got up, ate breakfast, cleaned my room, did laundry and tidied up the common space again. my room looks clean again, and i have most of the stuff from the roomswap sorted (just need to get the damn shelving for the dresser to finish it up). also talked to my mom for a bit, and was made to realize that the velvet throw she got me wasn't forgotten - its in a bag full of other stuff i haven't brought up, in my car, which i'm really glad about : )
and now i should really go shower & get ready for seeing tori amos tonight *bounce*
