Roadrunner on the way

This Thursday I plan to take RR out again. Or I should say, I plan going out with her again. I called her on like Saturday and she said that she'd like to go out again. Thursdays seem to be the day for now, just because of her schedule. No biggie, it just means that I'll have to wake up early the next day to go to San Francisco. She mentioned that she needed to be home sort of early on Thursday anyway (pick up a friend from the airport), so it works out. Anywho, the plan is looking like Botanical Gardens, as she has never been, and would like to go. Then probably some dinner. I was sort of thinking The Breadfruit for dinner. Like half of their menu is vegan. Tight.

Anywho, I'm going to shower and go to work now.

Drinks

Hey Adam, Amaretto Sours are like slushees. Really really sweet. Like crazy sweet.

Roadrunner Redux

So I don't really much feel like explaining the whole sitch, but Roadrunner has made a comeback. We went hiking, blah blah, now we're going out tonight. Here's the plan:

Pick her up at 7:30
Go eat at Malee's on Main in Scottsdale
Maybe drive around or hang out or something
Goodnight
Good Morning?

For the record

For the record, my first official will heretofore be known known to have been Mothership Wit by New Belgium, or whatever the company that does Fat Tire is.

Haus of Alkies

Ash Ash wishes she were cool and progressive like me.

Decisions being made for me

Tango and I spoke for a long time today. I "counseled" her on relationships and how to handle the situation with the guy she currently likes.

I called Miss Jen before going to Porter and Pinar's house. We are going out on Saturday more or less. I guess one of her friends just lost a close friend, so Miss Jen might be busy on Saturday consoling (she thinks that's the day of the funeral), so she warned me that she might have to cancel. It's all good.

PROS
Miss Jen
-Cutest face ever
-Super smart
-Dedicated
-Volunteer-minded

Tango
-Also super cute face

These are just silly things, of course, and I'd never make a decision in this way. I'm pretty much just doing it for fun, so whatevzies.

The birth of a Nation

I called Miss Jen on Thursday, but she did indeed have plans for Friday.

I remembered how long it had been since I'd seen Secret Lover.
I called Secret Lover. She called me back. She wanted to go to First Friday on the Fourth with me. Anna was already busy.

I call Secret Lover about three hours early. Confirmation.
She is going to be at a party with her boyfriend, but wants an excuse to leave early. This will work.

Her boyfriend drives her to my house. I showed them around the place, and make some small talk. It was mildly awkward, even though I've known him for a while now. He left. She changed into something more comfortable.

We left then.

We parked across the street from the Coronado Hotel and a few gangsta' ass lookin' thugs. We walked to CB/AG and see some of my friends. We walked through various galleries and studios. We finished through Just Breathe, some wellness studio thing. Back to the car we headed.

We drove, hoping to go to Lux, which turned out to be closed due to parade or something. We continued driving.

Drove to Zen/32, a sushi place right near The G Spot. I realized that I can't pass up the chance to say something quick and ironic or with a double meaning even if it doesn't always accurately convey my intentions:

Secret Lover: "You can't go to Peace Corps! You can't leave!"
Me: "It's only two years, no biggie."
SL: "I know, but still!"
Me: "It'll go by quickly. But you can't get married while I'm gone, I won't be able to afford to come back."
SL: "Aww, you'd go to my wedding?"
Me: "I figure I'll be there."

The double meaning is extra vague, which is what made it so tantalizing. Anyways, to continue:

We went in to Zen/32 and realized the immensity that was our collective hunger. Sushi menu. Ordered two vegetarian rolls and one tiger roll (for her). She also ordered a Mocha Jamocho, a hard coffee drink with Tia Rosa and Bailey's and two other things. I tried a sip of it. Tasted like chocolate covered cherries. It was pretty tasty, though the coffee aspect wasn't the greatest. With better dark coffee, it would have been awesome.

We drove a little bit then and saw some fireworks float up above the hill tops in the distance. It was a beautiful night.

I let her out (my inside passenger door handle is broken) and walked her to her front door. We said goodbye and hugged hard.

We spoke about her and her boyfriend. She has doubts, like anyone would. If it was two years ago, I'd push the issue. It's now, and there isn't time. Who has time?

Miss Jen IV

I think that Miss Jen is like a crystal ball. An extraordinarily fragile thin glass thing that holds tremendous potential and confusing power. A person holding a crystal ball must feel awe for the power, but anxiety over the fragility and the apparent ease with which the ball could be reduced to nothingness.

I am excited about this girl because she is ridiculously cute, but also (and now mostly) because she is very smart and able to comprehend complex concepts. I'm nervous or something about ruining this, which is new and weird. I'm not in to playing games and counting days before I call or whatnot, but I really don't want to be all dorky and call super early. I don't know.

Oh, by the way, we met for coffee, it was excellent. I promised her that I was going to take her out for dinner. She agreed. Dope!
