Been a long time - Jennifer
Dec. 14th, 2006 12:16 amOkay, maybe not that weird but still really odd. Today I had my Acting 1 final which got done around one pm so I had time to kill - for a month I've been flirting with Isaac because I keep getting this vibe off of him like he wants to ask me out and though I enjoy the flirting I have no interest in dating him, there is no way we'd work ~ plus I think he's just always that affectionate, because I don't get upset is probably why he keeps oing it. Anyway, I started walking (no apparent reason, I just felt like it) and Isaac came with me, along the way we picked up a few more friends (to be honest not people I'd go out of my way to spend time with but pleasent enough when they aren't being too crude for words). Naturally we ended up at the SU and proceeded to spend two and a half hours telling raunchy jokes and getting/giving back rubs - along those lines Caiti and Ernie showed up and Isaac made the off-hand-ish comment long after they'd left that "so. . . you're friend Caiti, she's pretty cute" "yeah, I know. If you want I can ask her for her number for you" "sure, I mean, if you want" <- Well, Caiti?
Back to the point, after spending two hours sitting there with nothing in my stomach aside from half a peanut butter sandwich and a few sips of water I got hungry. I went into Subway and waited in line staring at the menu, apparently I was too engrossed because I didn't even notice a young woman next to me until I heard the following:
Pretty Lady: Heehee, nice shirt.
Me: *Blink* Huh? *looks down - am wearing green 'T' that says 'no one knows i'm a lesbian <3'* Oh! hee, yeah, thank you. *Notices how pretty she is in a willowy-European model kinda way, smiles and hopes it's charming, gets a smile in return* Hi, I'm Jess.
Jennifer: I'm Jennifer.
Me: Nice to meet you. *and then turn away not expecting anything more*
Jennifer: Do you watch 'The L Word'?
Me: Huh? Oh yeah, I mean I've only seen the first six episodes or so.
Jennifer: So you know who Shane is then?
Me: Mhmm, I remember her, yeah.
(I can't remember what came after that aside from a bit more small talk and then she got distracted by the cashier and I had to order my sandwich. She walked out, and yeah I watched her sit down at a table - alone I might add. I got my sandwich and my drink and I took three steps from the door toward my friends before stopping and making an abrupt shift toward Jen.)
Me: Hi.
Jen *Smiles* Hello again.
Me: Sorry, I'm not used to randomly talking to people in line, and now I want to get to know you better, do you mind if I join you for lunch?
Jen: Not at all.
(So I sat and we talked, not for very long, maybe thirty minutes total, a friend of her's joined us before too long - a fifty year old woman who she was very careful to point out was a friend from work. We talked about hometowns, and what we're studying -Oh! She's 19 and a Senior! How scary is that? - we talked about siblings and I can't really remember what else, just basic 'get to know you' stuff. At one point her friend brought up Christmas gifts - as in, what would she like - she named some perfume that has since slipped my mind but I said : I'd get you a present but I don't know your number to reach you *trying to make this not sound incredibly obvious and clearly failing*
Jen: *smiling coyly - there is really no other word for the look she gave me* Oh, I'm sure we can arrange that.
She left to give her a friend a ride before rushing home to pack for a week long stay with her grandparents in Homer - you can find out a whole lot in twenty minutes can't you - but she didn't go before giving me her number. Tee Hee.
Anyway, about tiem I got around to what's weird. It seems like I find someone whenever I'm chasing after someone else. With Brian I was still chasing after Westies. With Sariah, I actually met her the night Si officially turned me down. And now I meet Jennifer while kinda/sort-of chasing after Isaac. This is a weird pattern but I'll need to date a lot more people before I find anything concrete. I'll call her when she gets back and ask her to something nice and platonic, coffee, movies, dancing, dinner, who knows - I'll come up with something. Purrr, Baisers et amour, mes beaux amis. ~J
