On A Mountain, This Morning.Most people expect something, and then freak out when it's totall different.
At times, I can be one of those people.
But other times, I am happily surprized how they come out.
I was both those people tonight.
Act I: A Start of a New Era I woke up at 9:30am.
Showered, left at 10:00am.
I was 15 minutes late for work, but made up for it by bringing Mr.DevilWearsPrada some raspberry iced tea.
He was pleased.
At noon, I found myself running around the mall bumping into people that I hate, that in return hate me.
So we hugged, kissed, and pretended that we would do lunch sometime.
After sucking down a ciggarette, and getting akward glances from "straight" men,
I hustle inside, and finish off my work day.
Mr.DWP was VERY pleased that i brought him another Iced Tea,
and that i had made my $400.00 goal of the day. (And then some)
Husteled home, grabbed some clothes,
and ran to Miss.Moving's to clean her car, for some insant money.
It was filthy. But a girls gotta do...
Dropped me off at Pearl where i visited a FABULOUS FRIEND at Billabong.
Act II : First IncounterMr.OK was 20 minutes late.
He looked like urban cowboy fierce.
(i noticed he wasn't wearing underwear)
I was WAY underdressed, and self consious about it for the rest of the night.
We ate at Hapa; I paid, because i felt it nessesary because i wanted him to try this sushi.
We then smoked and talked... He is an interesting character.
I learned that he has a LOT of emotional baggage.
Maybe he just needs a friend?
Maybe he just needs to get laid.
Hm.
Anyways, we ran into [more than a] couple of my old friends, that i used to go to school with/ dance with, back in the day.
I saw a weird look on his face.
Hm.
We continue to head towards the Trident, where one of my favorite teachers (Photo) was showing his work of and with local GLBTQ teens.
I thought that it would show a more.. tasteful side of me.
We made a 30 minute appearance, had some pictures taken of us, then left.
For the next 2 1/2 hours we just wandered Pearl, talked, laughed, got coffee, etc.
then it rained.
and rained.
and rained.
I had no sweater.
It was VERY windy.
since his cousin had blown us off (no puns, PLZ!)
we just sat in the rain and talked.
EXCEPT.
He made no move.
Nothing.
He didn't even touch me.
Not even during pictures.
I felt very ugly next to this VERY cute boy.
However, it seemed like he had no interest in me.
Which is NEW for me.
It was about 10:15pm when i walked him to the B-word stop.
I waited with him until his bB-word came,
Gave him a hug (which i found akward, and unsettling) and he got on the bus.
..But not before telling me he wanted to get together tomorrow afternoon, after he works.
.. and giving me his house number.
Mixed signals?
I think So.
[[Intermission]]
Act III: Walk of ShameIt rained me until i was soaked.
I was running back from Woody's, to catch my bus, When..
A ford escort sideswiped me, and knocked me on my ass.
Frazzled, and confused that i had just been hit by a
FUCKING CAR when i still had 11 seconds until my red hand stopped flashing,
I got up.
And pulled together what was left of my dignity,
picked up my bag, and went to the bathroom to use the blow dryer to dry myself.
11:04pm i get on the bus. ( After the attack on the Vehicle, i've earned the right to use the B-word at this point)
11:34 I'm walking home in the rain,
and a cop drives by, and soaks me in a huge wave of water.
Drenching me, head to toe.
I choked on street water.
Faccionable.
i get home.
drop my shit.
run upstair,
and let out my rage for the world in a hot shower.
What A FUCKING day.
