Summer cocktails are always sweet.
18 Aug
Last night, I saw Stardust with my new boy of the moment, SeriousChinaBoy. After he partied with my friends and I, I felt that we really bonded, and couldn’t wait to talk to him again. I’d called him a few days after, and we decided to see a movie after my exam. But that seemed too far away (I am not a patient woman). Today, I’d lugged my laptop to a bustling coffee shop with the intention of getting some reading done for my Philo exam. Instead, I added SCB on MSN and ended up suggesting he come see a movie with me.
By the time he got there, it was already dark. It was depressing to realize that now it’s dark by 9, which means summer is almost over. The movie was good, and the little excursion made me realize that I definitely feel different around him. Maybe it’s because I feel like he needs me, and that in itself is enough to peak my curiousity. Why do I always go after people who need me (friends and boyfriends)? Why can’t I go after someone who’s emotionally stable? Anyway, all I know is that I make him happy. This, coming from a guy who’s been depressed for two years is a pretty big deal.
He gave me his jacket in the theatre because it was really cold, and as I snuggled into it and smelled him on the collar of the jacket, I wished instead that I was snuggling into him. But, nothing happened. I maintained total control and barely batted an eyelash at him. Ladies and gentlemen, SassyGirl is officially not going to jump the gun on this one. I guess I’m afraid of ruining things by moving too quickly, but I’m also afraid of losing this, whatever this is, by waiting too long. It’s a delicate balance, I suppose. Meanwhile, I still have to figure out what I want. “Feeling different” in combination with a guy who was depressed about his last girlfriend for two years means I have to be sure before I start leading him on.
Ugh. It’s already getting complicated, and we haven’t even gotten anywhere yet.
Anyway. As summer draws to a close, I realize this summer has actually been much more eventful than most of my summers. I don’t know what I was complaining about. Blame it on my inner socialite.
Snap shot memories:
- Many late nights at karaoke, belting out cheesy ballads and going behind the bar to invent my own drinks every half hour
- Hooking up with GuelphBoy, who was, at times, very sweet, and then totally fucking it up before realizing it can’t go anywhere anyway
- Going to bubble tea at 3 in the morning, and almost getting into street races
- Sneaking off to party all weekend in The City with Zee and others – getting wildly drunk and splurging on eating out
- Staying out till 6 in the morning, and getting a cigarette burn while I’m at it
- Hooking up with RalphLaurenBlueBoy unexpectedly at a BBQ
- Discovering this amazing bubble tea shop in Chinatown and going there twice in one night
- Getting tipsy from wine-tasting in Niagara-on-the-Lake
- Sneaking into casino at Niagara Falls with my parents there
- 19th birthday party in The City
- Coffee breaks in the middle of the work day
- Driving to Grand Bend with friends on a whim, all crammed into a sedan, me passed out from exhaustion
- Napping on the beach
- Sipping cocktail on the porch of a dive bar, while feasting on some of the best fries I’ve ever had
- Driving back and singing along to old pop songs that we grew up to
- Playing Clue in French until the early hours of the morning while listening to French rap
- Making/having dinner with friends, playing Wii or cards or watching movies together, being oh so comfortable
And the summer’s not over yet.
Wow that sounds like quite a summer! I’ve spent most of this summer quietly with family, mainly because everyone was either out working or at school this summer. Our first summer with all of us being ridiculously responsible, lol. How I miss the old days sometimes.
I’m trying to convince some of them to take one of our old “field trips” downtown to TO. We love acting like tourists, especially in our own city. Kind of random, kind of fun.
Anyways, I’ll stop by soon, hopefully you’ll have a new post up then. I love following along with blogs.
My summer seems to have disappeared in comparison. i have nothing to do but wait for my results. eck, not a big fan of bubble tea…they get stuck in these huge globules like shiny black pearls and it’s so difficult to suck through the straw.
lol, SeriousChinaBoy. i hope it works :D
LMAO!! No I had no idea this was you!! But I’m glad to find out it is. You’ve always been one of my blogread staples.
I understand your need for a change of venue, audience, and identity. Although since I don’t have that many people that read my blog its not such an issue for me online. That’s not to say I wouldn’t want to do it in real life. I have a bad habit of needing a change every so often.
Anyways, that said, I will definitely be back. I’ll have to read back a bit to catch up on everything. But it is good to be back.
I wish we had bubble tea places here open at 3am. I can’t find any bobo after 8pm.
Thanks for the money suggestions. My friend just quit her nanny job ’cause it made her crazy. There are actually lots of nanny jobs here apparently, and she makes lots of money, but it has downsides. I could work somewhere part time (or even fulltime) but I don’t really WANT to. I might tho, just to see how much money I can make. I usually think being obsessed with making money is bad for your soul, but the guy and I DO need it. I just want to work hard a couple months and save, and then be able to relax. but I would prefer making money from home somehow and making my own hours!
Being an ‘escort’ is always code for hooker here, and it scares me to be honest. I might strip. even tho I’m really lazy. I could use the workout.
I love hearing about this boy! You sound just like me, all impatient and quickly inviting him out again. I have friends who will just wait around for guys to call and I don’t get it. I analyze and plot and call and play every game I know until I have him.
what a great catch, someone going through post-depression! where are you finding these kids? hah, no, i’m just kidding – you were obviously brought to this boy for if not romantic purposes (though it looks like you’re heading that way), to guide him to happiness. how exciting. :) it’s your current calling.
clue in french? that’s the highlight of your list!
Sounds fun huh. Btw, It’s rainy season here already.
