story of the new boy
At the Bath and Bodyworks Xmas party last week I met a boy. His name is RJ and I think he's very sweet. Everytime I talk to him I start to blush or giggle, sometimes that happens simply when I think about him.
I saw him the next night, Monday, and I was incredably shy around him. The visit was about 2 hours long and we spent the entire night driving around with his friend Alan until we found the cemetary, but it was late and we didn't really have the time to go inside. So they drove me home and he hugged me goodbye, with plans to see a movie the next day.
Tuesday: Work took longer then I'd planned, I helped Ian choose a kitten, so I got to the mall about an hour late. I had to get to the GWAR concert so movie plans were canceled but in the least I could hang out wiht him for a bit. I couldn't even lok at him for moments I was so flushed. The conversataion was small and thin becuase I couldn't keep my thoughts together when I would attepmt to look at him. "Can i try something really quickly?" he asks and how do I respond... with a shy whisper of "...yeah okay." and he leans over to kiss me. Needless to say, I took him to the concert with me.
At the concert we kissed for a bit and we were approached by a random guy. "Aw, kissy face at a GWAR concert! I've been trying to get my wife to do that for years now." He then proceeds to ask if we're getting married. It was our first date. The concert was amazing!
Wednesday: I didn't see him but he does call me. Half way through the conversation he says "I miss you." I've known him 4 days... strangely I miss him too.
Thursday: Ian kindly took me to see him very briefly which caused him to get home late to his lovely wife Amy. Sorry Amy, I just needed a fix. lol
Friday: I work all day, Bath and Bodyworks in the morning, 20/20 all the way in Syracuse at night. Fluffy picks me up and I head to the club. 10:06 exactly I get the phone call I've been expecting. The first thing out of my mouth is "If you can get a ride to Area 51 I can get you a ride home," and find a ride he did. Dean approved and warned him that if he hurt me he'd tear him to pieces. How I love Dean!
Drama hit the fan for Fluffy and Gwynne and I spent an hour and a half helping them leaving poor RJ alone inside a dark club all by himself. Things calmed down a nd we all went to Dee's where Gwynne got mad at me for kissing him, mostly becuase I couldn't stop.
Then I saw her walking past my table. Someone I hadn't seen in 2 years, where the last thign I'd heard was that she'd become a ward of the state. "Zen?" I screamed. A moment of question and then utter surprise passed through her eyes as she shrieked "Annica!" in responce. She's a runaway now, again. I bought her and her friend, Eric, food and gave her the 4 bucks cash I had and made her promise that she would get back to school soon. She just didn't want to spent another Xmas in DT. I gave her my jelly beans too.
I kissed RJ goodbye and as Gwynne drove me home she asked me, "How can you be so loving and caring to everyone without getting burned out?" The truth is I do get burned out, but I try to not let it get me down. I've always got that Shiny spoon to guide me out of my rut. Pain is jsut part of life.
One of the things she'd complained about with Justin/Fluffy was that she didn't want someone wiht baggage, she had enough of her own to deal with. THis is true but I think in life everyone has baggage and at this point we're just "looking for baggage that goes with mine" to quote Mimi from Rent. I think it's the truth. When I told them that they laughed. But it helped things I think.
Saturday again I worked all day. I fell asleep talking to him on the phone. With him telling me many many times that he missed me.
Le sigh. Now to just tell Tommie about him.
