talk to you...wait...see you later

my first "date" with big daddy

pretty sure you couldn't really call it a date but what the hell, I'm going to anyway. I got the nicest hug and kiss on the cheek as a greeting when I arrived at the pub we'd agreed on, and he was at the booth/table I'd told him I liked, and he smelled good. And he was as excited/awkward as I was. We went 1 for 1 on knocking stuff over and trying to stay cool about it. (When I first walked in I kicked a rock on the floor and almost did a face plant. When he got up to go the mens' room he almost flung the menus halfway across the joint. and so on and so on.) He's so cute. My hair looked so perfect. My skin was glowing. His teeth are so perfect and white. He's taller and bigger than me. Our conversation flowed just beautifully - think of a river with enough rocks to make those nice ripples and rapids people take photos of, but no artificial dams or locks. We talked about Everything, and joked so much. I smiled and laughed so much my cheek muscles feel strained today. He's the kind of person I could talk to for my entire life and not get bored. I'm not saying anything here, I'm just saying.

hugs just like I knew they'd be. kisses on the cheeks surprised me, pleasantly. he was so excited to be looking across at me instead of shooting off an email or picking up the phone, and he said so 3 or 4 times. he was just so excited. this person makes me so happy I can't even express it. At around 12:30 he drove me home. got out of the car to come around and hug me goodbye (another kiss on the cheek too...) Just before I opened the door to my building he yelled out "What was my present?" because he just had a birthday and I bought him a gift. Oh yeah! Sorry. So I walked back around to his side of the car, opened up my knapsack and pulled it out, it was "Personae: Short Poems of Ezra Pound". He was emphatically appreciative, and it made me feel so good. And it won me one last hug & kiss, which was maybe the sweetest moment ever. (That makes 3 each for those of you counting!)

still just friendly stuff. how it got set up - I jokingly pointed out that I was thinking of going down to the beaches before f'ship and he was going to be there. I honestly had no idea he would suggest getting together. It was all so accidental. and Awesome!
