This weekend the sun shone like a paparazzi’s camera flash, as an underwearless celebrity gets out of a car.
When the sun shines I feel like I am sparkling, and not in the sexy brooding vampire way. I feel so energetic and full of life, and I always want to be doing something fun. I would say I did a spectacular job of that this weekend.
To kick it off I had lunch up on the Yard's patio with Sunshine.
I am going to catch you up to speed on who Sunshine is, because I am not talking about the star in the sky that likes to burn my pastey skin. Sunshine and I have a history of colliding into each other, but with bad timing. One of us is always leaving, only to return to find the other in a fresh relationship. We always manage to stay friends, whether one of us is dating someone new or not. She is a beautiful, genuine girl. Who has a smile is as bright as the Sun, hence the name Sunshine. She is goofy, adventurous, and always true to herself. It is so easy to be myself around her, because I know she is doing the same. We also share a passion for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and secretly love Twilight an embarrassingly large amount. If we can still stand each other despite knowing that fact, we must be epic. We have been known to spend hours doing nothing but lay around eating candy, and ice tea so thick we have to chew it while watching Buffy. She also was the subject of my most failed attempt at picking a girl up. I won’t go into detail, but it involved granola.
Ok. So that is a brief description of Sunshine. On with the story of my weekend!
Sunshine and I sat on the patio of the Yard, where I managed to burn half my face and she accomplished getting wing sauce on every article of clothing she was wearing. We spent the afternoon eating, drinking (red wine is perfectly acceptable that early, if the day is as perfect as it was), and verbally sparring with each other.
If you can verbally cock slap me into a silent awe of your skills, I want to be in your life. I love exercising my brain with a good round of banter.
My hunt for a ticket to the sold out Tv on the Radio show paid off. It was a great show, and they played my favourite song. I couldn't even get near the front it was so packed. The Odeon should invest in a ventilation system if they want to be a decent venue. It was hotter then balls stuffed into hipster pants and flannel boxers.
The night only got better after the show. I was invited out by the girl that literally turns me into a mumbling, blushing fool.
She is stunning. She carries herself with an aura of beauty, and grace that has been long forgotten by most. Which is why I will call her Grace for the purpose of this blog.
Not only does she know my name. Shut up! That is an accomplishment in my book. And not only was I invited out by her. But she gave me a hug, and a kiss on the cheek. It was magic.
Think back to the scene from any good 80's movie, when the dream girl acknowledges the cute nerd. It happened this weekend for me. I swear ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ started playing in the background, as Molly Ringwald gave me a thumbs up from across the room.
Basically, I don’t stand a chance with this girl. But it is fun to dream, and I have to fulfill my duty as a nerd to crush on the dream girl. Who knows maybe the world will shift in my favour. It has happened for me before.
The next night I spent going back and forth between Amigo's, and Diva’s. At Diva's I hung out with Silk Spectre, I was a little more charming and co-ordinated then last time.
Another catch up time, Silk Spectre 101. Man, you guys are getting a lot of info this entry. I hope you are taking notes. There will be a pop quiz.
I have been captivated by Silk Spectre's beauty (not just physical beauty, even though she has plenty of that) for the last few months. But up until recently she has been in a relationship. So I behaved myself, and kept an appropriate distance. You all know how I feel about those kind of games.
Last weekend was the first time I saw her since her break up. I continued to keep my distance, not wanting to put the moves on her so soon after a break up. Even though the tension between us was so thick only a random annoying drunk girl could get through it, and wreck any opportunities.
The opportunities may have also passed because I was completely paralyzed by fear. I literally had to put my head between my knees and take deep breaths to calm down. I received a pep talk, or three. But I still wasn't able to get the courage to go dance with Silk Spectre.
Then thanks the best wing man moves in the history of bros. She came over to me, and we spent the night dancing. Which may have caused her to think I have Tourette's syndrome, I am not that great a dancer.
But if we fast forward through the week to this weekend. There was more dancing, and I did better this time. There has also been more flirting, which even though I am awkward as Fuck, I am still really good at.
I managed to make it home in time for a bowl of cheerios as the birds started chirping. I don't know what it is about cheerios, but they make the best late night snack. I would definitely call this weekend as success. It finally feels like summer, and it has ignited something that burns out in the other seasons.
I'd like to thank Captain Energy Drink for making this post possible. Without you I would not have made it through work this week. Thanks for having my back.
