Boys, boys, boys

Oh boy, seriously. I dispise crushes. I really do. I start to think too much, and act too little. This weekend was great.

Saturday night, I was off of work. A friend of mine who graduated last year was putting on a show, so I took a few friends from work with me. You were allowed to bring your own alcohol into the show, so we grabbed a 12 pack of Miller Lite and headed to the show. It was HILARIOUS! Four drinks into it, I was blitzed and ready for more. So, we headed back to Champp’s to see who was going to go out with us. On the way, I called my friend Bob, and he was already out. I decided to call all the “B’s” in my phone, so next on the list was Bill.. he was out and no answer. After Bill was Brad. I hadn’t talked to him in ages. I was expecting to leave a nasty message when he picked up.

“Hello?” “Holy shit… he lives, and he asnwers his phone.” We fell right back into routine- third grade flirting via phone. I told him of my graduation party on the 21st and he PROMISED he would come. I hope to see him. Not only is he cute, but he’s hilarious and we have that repetuare that makes flirting fun. Which brings up the point of my flirting: I can not flirt with people I think I may someday date, only guys who are taken or whom I have no attraction to. After I hung up with Brad, we decided there was nothing else to do but leave Champps and head out. So, just the Champp’s crew went out. We went to Houlihan’s- the place of my demise.

Sitting there, everyone started drinking more and chatting and in walks Raf… the old fling. He was dating Lisa, a girl I work with, for a while… but they had broken up. Mike told me I should take him home with me. I said no… I have been good for 6 months, and the next time I was going to sleep with someone, it wouldn’t just be for sex.. it would be for passion and perhaps a deep new founding love.

So, I slept in today, and when I had just lit my morning cigarette, my phone rang. It was Bob. He called to see how my night went, and we chatted for about 20 minutes. He asked me what I was doing tonight, and I told him I was working- like I do every Sunday. He said he would convince a few friends to come in for dinner with him so he could visit me… odd, Bob wanting to visit me. He’s coming to the party as well.

Anywho- went to work, got a little busy, but as it started to slow down, I started to chat with Mike Minor: THE CRUSH. Like I said, I read way too far into things. Friday, we went out to smoke and he told me he had to go to the DMV to pay a fine for not having a city sticker. He asked me to follow him to his car to show me the ticket. I was grinning the entire time. We went back in, and I finished my shift.

Tonight it was different. We went out to smoke, and just started talking. After we got back in, he followed me to the kitchen where we started folding napkins, and continued talking. He asked me if I was cut yet… which, when reading to far into it, I thought, “Hmm, maybe he wants to hang out.” I told him I was closing. As we continued conversation, he told me he was reading the bible… I was FLOORED. Not just reading for religious purposes, but for the heck of it. By this time, I was smitten… but it gets better.

I had ordered food, and was going to bring it down by my friends to eat, when I saw Mike sitting by himself at a table, waiting for his own food. “Why don’t you sit here?” So.. I sat with him. We started talking and making jokes, and he waited until I was done eating and then got up and left, telling me he’d see me next weekend. I can’t wait.

Elizabeth and Kim were starting to get antsy with me. “JUST ASK HIM OUT!” “I can’t! I’m waiting for the party, we’ll see what happens then.” I hope he comes. And I hope I can behave myself. Kim asked me to try not to think of it too much and ask myself if I really saw a connection. And.. I think I do. Especially tonight. All the talking, and semi-flirting. I just don’t know how to read it. And, I should stop the crush..he leaves in two months, going back to Missouri. But, he’s funny, and corny, and he reads the bible. My mother would LOVE him. I just don’t know how to approach it, or how to read it. I wish I could read minds.

Anywho- two more weeks of school, and I am DONE. DONE FOR EVER! (Until Fall, when I start my Masters. Oh, and to answer a question- I want to teach speech, drama, and maybe english.) Anyone out there know how to read a crush? Let me know! Later all 😛
