I was answering AmyLiz's question from earlier.

D'oh! Exposed as the skip- and skimmer that I am.

Huh.

Evidently the momentousness of me having a date has passed you all by.

I have a date.

This will be the first date I have had for more than a year. And one of only a pretty small handful of dates ever in the life of Very Very Single Me. And the guy I'd been trying to gird my loins to email took the initiative and texted me, damn it. And we spent much of the evening texting (I understand texting hasn't really taken off as a phenomenon in the States, but it's a very popular form of communication in the UK) and in the end I did the 'hey, want to go and get a cup of coffee or see a movie' thing.

Which is the first time I have ever done that, pathetic as this confession is.

I mean, I'm not all head over heels besmitten, and I'm quite ferociously defensive about it all, because I remember liking him when we met and happily spending several hours talking to him animatedly, but maybe when I see him again he'll realise that I'm a ghastly, short-tempered woman with an arse the size of Dorset and odd taste in clothes, and I'll realise that he's a twit who gets on my nerves, and, and, and it may be entirely awful. Or we might just get on well and have no sexual attraction thing going on at all. Or we could be attacked by space monkeys.

But I have a date. Kind of. Which is quite a big thing in the World of Me. The fact that this revelation passed you all by pretty much reinforces my notion that the rest of the world does an awful lot more dating than me. Bastard Rest of the World.

Yay for Fay Dateage!

nods

Now that's what I'm talking about!

Fay, go you with the asking and the dating!

It just seems like it's the natural order of things. Like, of course you have a date. You're Fay.

YAY FOR FAY.

Yay for your date, Fay. Actually, I saw your post, and even looked at the link, which didn't show him. And then I saw your next post, where you explained where to look, and I looked, and saw him. And he is CUTE! I don't know why I didn't say anything, except I think I thought you were probably gone by then.

YAY DAtes!!!

I had a very good day today. Well, after I was woken up by the Sprint guy. I forgot he was coming and was sound a sleep when he started knocking on the door. I was very cave manish in my thoughts "Mom no call?" then after I looked through the peep hole "Man. Man. MAN!!" and found a robe and answered the door, then shut it in his face while I went and put on actual clothes.

All thejacks in the house work now.

Then my friend E called and we went to breakfast and then saw Batman Begins --- we saw the Serenity trailer!!

After that we had ice cream and went our seperate ways.

I went to Vision works and got two pairs of glasses. I have rectangle tortie frames for sunglasses and rectangluar -- but not quite, purple metal frames for every day. They'll be ready on Monday. I'll post pictures on Monday.
