Lime Rider april 1st 2002. first day i blathered red 030109 ... artnerd lunch date 030109 ... DammitJanet And it was great... I wasn't as nervous and shy as i usually am, although i was sitting there in Tim Hortons drinking my peach juice from a can, contemplating calling him on the cell phone and telling him to turn around. But as soon as he got there, and i hopped in the car, everything seemed fine. His cracked windshield reminded me of the 'could have been last ride' so called taxi back to the beaches with Ljub and Sam in the wee hours of New Years day. We laughed about getting in random cars while out on the town drunk, and we had a few similar stories. He loved the area, the big houses, the green lawns, the huge trees. I told him about my cleaning experiences, and the penguin shaped pool in the back of one of these mansions. We finally arrived at Pearl street and he drove like a true Torontonian while looking for a parking spot. But we found a prime one and he couldn't get over the "Free Parking" sign, apparently that's pretty much unheard of in his area. We walked to the Rude Native and i talked a bit about the area, why there's no more stores in the Village Square because an old scrooge raised the rent so high no one could afford to be there anymore. Now there's a bunch of bare buildings in a spot that used to be so alive when i was a child. He's ruined those memories. It was quite a wait at the Rude, but we got a small table in the back and ordered drinks and some appetizers. Everything was sticky; it turned into the theme of the night. I was quite shocked when even the forks and knives stuck together, but was relieved when i realized they were magnetized. The hummus had eyes and a party hat and he quickly understood that i saw things in everything. Even though he ate the party hat, the hummus was still staring at me. We eventually got our seats and we knew what we were ordering right away, Pad Thai. That was the main reason i went there. It came in just 10 minutes and i desperately tried to use the chop sticks, but all i could keep hold of was a few mushrooms and maybe a shrimp. We talked alot after that and laughed quite a bit, especially at the kids with the huge hair, and the so called desserts the next table was having. "Um.. i don't think dessert would have rosemary in it!" As we left the restaurant we realized how incredibly cold it had gotten outside. We quickly rushed to the car and warmed up. On the drive home he drove too slow, we were talking too much and looking around at emma's, the boat shaped house and all the old age residences. As we pulled up to my house he burst out laughing when i said "Mine's the one with the huge motor home in the driveway".. he said that's one of those lines you never thought you'd hear... He was about to pull up front, but i quickly reminded him he's supposed to be Ashley and he pulled past and parked behind some trees. I knew my mother was watching, and i later found out she was. "Was that Clint's car?" "Yes mom, that's who drove me home". We sat and talked for a bit more, when all of a sudden he pulls a bag out of the back seat and says "well okay, I got you something" I was in shock, this i was not expecting. It was Ned Flanders. Dressed up as a boy scout leader, all with a book on the 10 do's and 500 dont's of pocket knives, a hat, a pine cone and a pocket knife of his own. He even says "Want me to zinc your sniffer?" I laughed and said he was so sweet... and so fitting since we've bonded so much over our love of the Simpsons. *What if i undo one button? Well then what if i undo two buttons? What if i talk like this? My love had a chicken! It had no bones!* We hugged, we kissed, and he called me when he got home. I can't wait until i see him again. 040516 ... lotuseater *big cheesy grin* she is really fuckin cute... dont you just love that first awkward kiss, when you're not sure if you're supposed to kiss her yet, but look at her and decide a small goodbye one is perfect... 040516 ... anomalous i've never been on 'an actual date' i had a boyfriend when i was thirteen but we weren't allowed to date we went trick-or-treating together and to 'the dance', with friends when i got sick, we 'broke up' we were never much together anyway we just hung out, swam, and played baseball i wanted to go to the movies with him but i never did and then, well, after him, no one ever asked me out and there is no wonder there why not 050429 ... anomalous i told myself "dating is silly anyway" 050429 ... no reason in a way i almost prefer when both parties know they won't go on a second date, and can move on accordingly. when a date ends with you still wanting to talk to the person and see them again but don't know if you will or if they want to, it gets tricker. 130210 ... trickier. sigh. 130210 ... no reason for some reason this seems like it should have gone on blue. well, here i be, bringing some blue to the land of red. blather_purple? blather_puce? 130210 ... cocoon in yet another milestone of me becoming an actual adult, i had a date yesterday. sadly though (and as suspected) there was no chemistry. (also, what is the point in asking someone on a date, and when said date comes around - you show no interest?) so the quest to find this ever elusive spark that people talk about continues. but i did get to see an awesome dance show, which was a lovely experience, and something i hope to carry with me and continue going to. 130511 ... epitome of incomprehensibility I think I went on my first date when I was 22: skating in a park with an Austrian grad student. We talked about our respective childhoods. But then he said something about the gay people he knew being too "sentimental" and when I asked him rather sharply what he meant he said he couldn't translate the German word into English very well, but it was either about being too emotional or too horny. And then my feet started to freeze and I had to go inside and take off my socks. As my feet warmed up I reflected that feet were probably the ugliest part of the body and I did not see why anyone in the world could have a foot fetish. This was only mildly hypocritical of me. Anyway, it was a beautiful park. 130511 ... unhinged (once again it is pointed out to me that i am way too serious about something the rest of the world seems to think is casual. then_again i never understood being casual about who, how, why you give your heart to someone) 130512 what's it to you? who go blather from
