The Big- E Weekend
Sometimes feel that my entry titles are so lame- case in point... Drove over to Springfield yesterday to see Missy and check out the Big E fair. I got there around 2 and she was at her school helping out a student so I just sat in my car waiting for her and guess who calls? He says he just woke up and he was so sick from whatever he ate and he's apologizing for ruining the evening. I say there's nothing to be sorry for I was happy to spend time with you. I find it funny how he apologizes about something entirelly not his fault but the guy I once dated who almost puked all over my feet didn't show as much remorse. We talked a little bit and he wanted to make plans for next weekend. Wow- calling Saturday to make sure we have plans next weekend- I'm not used to this kind of guy behavior. I think we figured out that Sat would be the best day. S's 21st birthday is Thursday and I'm going out with her and her boyfriend and some friends Friday night and D has to go to a friend's wedding that night. So Sat we are going to go to his friend's after wedding reception/cookout thing. God help me, meeting the friends already. Today one of the guys I was emailing with a while back called me. I think I gave him my number about a month ago before D and I went out. He called to say he was in the area and he would like to either make me dinner or go out to dinner- meaning today. I found this very strange as I have not talked(emailed) this guy for about 3 weeks. So I think I will do the courteous thing and email him to say that I just met someone and I want to see what happens and that I wish him the best of luck. I hope that doesn't sound too bad but I would feel like a jerk if I just didn't give any response. Oh yes- back to the fair. It was a good time. At first Missy was so bullshit because it took us an hour and 15 minutes to travel the 3 miles to get to the fair. The traffic was that backed up. We could have probably walked there faster. Then she couldn't find any parking because all the lots were full so she says screw this we're going home. I would have been very annoyed if we left after sitting through all the traffic but I shut my mouth and figured she would get over it. We finally parked on someone's lawn for 10 bucks. People who live by the fair offer up their lawns for parking. I saw lawns that had about 50 cars and were charging $10. I can't imagine the kind of money these people rake in. We didn't go on any rides but ate plenty of fatty foods. I just love carnival food- it's so bad for you but tastes so good. Where else can you eat fried dough and have a beer at the same time. Later that night Missy wanted to go to Diva's the gay night club. I was thinking "oh no not again." She always wants to go there, thinking she will meet someone, she doesn't and then complains all night. I suppose I shouldn't talk, I've done the same thing to S when we've gone out. But any I am so bored at the gay clubs because Missy just keeps checking girls out and asking me what I think and how should she talk to this person or that person. She didn't talk to anyone but this woman came up and tried to chat me up- well Missy's says she was trying to hit on me- I just didn't have a clue. We were out on the balcony and I was smoking a butt when this woman who was about 40-45 and looks like she was dressed exclusively from Talbot's comes up to me and says she will pay me for a smoke and hand me a dollar. I was a bit put off after all I am not broke but said here I don't need money you can just have one. Well she was very pleasant and I figured she would then go away. She then stood there trying to make conversation by talking about the stupid smoking laws in Mass and asking me if I was in college around the area. Well, Missy was practically dying of laughter and would not help ease the awkward situation. I finally finished my cigarette and we went inside. Then Missy says "I can't fucking believe it, no one ever talks to me and you come here for the second time and get hit on- unbelievable." Beleive me I did not feel too flattered, this woman could have been my mom- scary thought. Here's some more unwanted advice from Missy- I am way to into this guy and should be not thinking too far ahead of myself. Well, I find that very funny coming from someone who develops crushes on girl's who work at bookstores and then she goes in everyweek to try and talk to them and ask for a number. Or has fantasies about some girl she has "talked" to a few times online that lives 200 miles away. She says she is happy for me but then gets pissed if I mention the things we (me and D) have talked about. Yes, I know I might get hurt as she tells me but I can never be more hurt then when I was with Steve and I certainly have not invested the emotions I had with Steve with this guy. I just would like us to date and maybe he'll become my boyfriend. I am not thinking more than that. Another contradictory thing about Missy (shit I will burn in hell for venting about her like this) she wants to make plans to be married after she is with someone for a year. I told her that is too soon and if she mentions that too soon the person will bail. I gave her the example of Steve bailing just because I wanted us to get an apartment. Her plan is to be married by the time she is 28- she will be turning 26 next week and have kids by 30. My plan is to hopefully be married or engaged by 30. I think it takes time to know someone that well and living together for at least a year is a good idea before marriage. Ok enough of this tangent- I love my best friend dearly but sometimes she just drives me insane!
