7:38 p.m. ||September 06, 2004 Had my date Friday night. It went well and I had a good time. I really didn�t want to go but forced myself. He was a nice guy, very funny and cute. We met near Boston, played some pool and went to a bar that had live music. We talked quite a bit. He is definitely a talker and very outgoing. I think there will be another date but you never know. He didn�t kiss me good night. I was a little bummed about that. Although we were saying goodbye in the street and tons of people were around. He did say he had fun and that he�d call me. Now begins the waiting. S and I were supposed to go to Martha�s Vineyard Saturday but that didn�t happen. We arrived late for the ferry and they were booked solid anyway. We could have taken the next ferry but would have had to wait around 3 hours. I suggested we head to Newport instead. We went there, walked around quite a bit and had lunch outdoors. We checked out a gallery that had paintings you could purchase for half off. We each bought a seascape. I love my painting, however my actual sea scape paintings that I painted pale in comparison. I�ve decided I will take them off the walls and try to rework them a bit. Tomorrow I plan to do some painting after work. After Newport we were going to go out that night to Providence but I was too damn tired. I took a nap around 5, thinking I would be refreshed by 9, but I was still too sleepy. S didn�t mind and just went to her boyfriend�s. They are back together which I don�t think is a wise decision but it�s her life. Yesterday went to see Missy in Springfield. She told me about some new girl she�s interested in and plans on putting the moves on. We didn�t do too much. Went to the liquor store and bought some Corona, brought it back to the apartment we talked and she played some guitar. Today we went to Northampton, checked out some hippy shops and ate really good Mexican food. Now I�m back home and glad to be here. Not looking forward to work tomorrow but I have to make money to replace all the money I burned this weekend. I think I blew through $200 bucks. Let�s see how it adds up.... $31 gas all weekend, $12 beer from liquor store, $10 2 packs cigarettes, $6.20 total tolls, $30 total dinner out, $20 drinks out, $7 parking in Newport, $74 painting, $10 misc souvenirs, $4 incense, $8 pillows from Christmas Tree Shop, $1 pie plate, $10 cute dessert/sandwich plates, $5 AC Moore and $4 leather belt from Army/Navy store- well I was close actually comes out to $232.20- good god- I will be eating mac and cheese or ramon noodles all next week |
