I totally went out to lunch with a friend today. It was totally awesome! ...Actually, I'm almost not sure how that happened- but I'm really glad it did.
So, over the last couple of days, a friend of mine named Dakota has been coming to the coffee shop while I've been working. It's been nice to be able to catch up and talk and enjoy good conversation. I kept getting tongue tied, but that's beside the point... kind of... Anyway- So the other day I got a text from his mom asking if he could call me (she said he was too shy to ask) and I said sure. Well, he showed up at the coffee shop and we chatted. I forgot to start my closing procedure on time, so it took me longer to close than usual... Melody noticed. She laughed at me and asked what his name was. I wasn't quite sure what she was talking about at first, then she said "The cute guy you were talking to all night, did ya get his number?" She was being serious, not mean. I blushed bright red and explained that he was a friend of mine, and his name was Dakota. Melody giggled and said she liked him. So Thursday dad is picking on me because "some guy called me and asked if it was alright if he asked my daughter out." Dad thought it was cute. I'm over here trying to keep my cool, and dad is picking on me, and I'm going "Dude, maybe he will ask me out."
Well, obviously he did. :D We found out that we are both completely indecisive. I'm cool with that. Just means we won't get anything accomplished unless it's very important. Basically, he showed up today and we went to Cracker barrel, I had a hard time figuring out how to eat a chicken BLT, we talked about school, and his summer job, and how I was planning on taking over the world with the assistance of a Penguin army and post-it notes (Yeah, Dakota is the friend who is the hero that is trying to foil my world domination schemes that was mentioned in a previous post)
After cracker barrel we went to Melody's and got coffees, then we went and walked on the Greenway for a while. :) I'm pleased to say that I've not scared him off yet, even talking about weaponry and marksmanship. I'm impressed. Most people decide that I'd be an excellent hit-man and walk off quietly hoping to escape notice. I mean, seriously, my sunday school class has decided I'm the most dangerous of the whole group. they're like "Woah- she likes shooting. Dangerous!" Dakota was more to the effect of "Okay, she likes shooting- she's got .22 federal shells in a hat. Interesting!" I don't think the swords scared him either. I'm impressed, really, I am. I feel like I can be goofy around him, but serious too. Some people I can't be serious around, some I can't be goofy around. I feel pretty safe with Dakota though. I don't think I scared him off with my goofy/nerdy/dangerous side (hope I didn't scare him off). ...so yeah, I had lunch with a friend. It was great! :) :D ...and I'm using Emoticons on my blog. I swore I'd never do that... but I can't think of a way to express this otherwise. *doh*
