I hold in my hands...A BRAND NEW HP LAPTOP! Goody!!! Christmas came early and I couldn't be more grateful to my parents for this great present. Now I can keep up with schoolwork and of course...blog!
In dating news, it has kind of been out of control. Last week, 4 guys asked if they could take me out. I was feeling pretty great. Let's start with exhibit A: Adam.
This kid is one of the funniest guys I've ever met. He actually does stand up comedy at open mic nights and grew up in Bristol, England. (He lost his accent though, weh. But he does really good impressions.) Adam is really fun and so we went on 2 dates in the last week or 2. The first night-Sushi. Yummy. But, he talked the whole time. I thought, well maybe he's nervous so he just feels the need to tell joke after joke. I'm fine with it. Then last night, he took me out to dinner and a movie....well...sort of. Adam texts me yesterday morning and says "What do you say to getting you some lobster and a movie?" Hmmm...that's really weird but sure...if you say so. We got to Market Street Grill and he points to the lobster on the menu he wants me to get. IT'S LIKE $45 FREAKIN DOLLARS!! I never order something that expensive, but he kept encouraging me to get it. So I did.
But then, 3/4 of the way through dinner, the worst thing that you could hope for during a date happens: you feel nauseous and well...gassy? Adam picks up the check, which I am positive was $100, and we set off to for the movies. Meanwhile, I am squirming with uneasiness and panicking because what if I have to like run off to the bathroom a couple more times DURING the freaking date and he would be thinking in his head 'man this chick is weird.' So in the car I eventually just tell him 'Hey, you aren't going to want to hear this but my stomach doesn't feel so good because my ulcer is acting up.' Adam was really nice and responded 'Oh don't worry about it. Let's get you home. I don't want you feeling bad.' The night ends, and I immediately call Laura on the verge of tears because I feel like a huge retard for leaving a date early due to nausea when he had spent THAT MUCH MONEY on me.
And here's the kicker...I told him I would make it up to him by taking him to a movie when I got back...BUTTTTTTTT I want to break it off. Not interested anymore. I don't know if I could do another date because:
1) Why are you buying me lobster when you don't have a job and just turned 20 years old? (ya shocker, I like younger guys...which I am thinking I am going to have to stop doing from now on because they are immature) Just give me the $50 and let's get me a new shirt instead of me eating it in 10 minutes.
2) He only talked about himself again on the second date. I know everything about him, but he virtually knows nothing about me....so why is he interested? Clearly, he hasn't asked about me enough to find out that I have a certain amount of words that I need to get out each day and I LOVEEEE talking so this won't work out.
3) He's too PDA. Like, can we not act like we are going out on the second date? He tried to kiss me when he picked me up but you don't kiss someone when you first pick them up?? Hasn't he read the dating handbook?? So when he tried to I turned my head and he kissed my hair. AWKWARD.
Last night I had a dream that he announced on TV that I am a mean girl who goes out with guys for lobsters and then leaves early. I hate dating. I think I will cancel the other dates I have.

oh bacon. do i really have to spell out what a dude buying you lobster means? go ask mom. or dad. and a guy who talks that much? no. bake him cookies and call it even. it's giving him sugar of a different nature.
Concerning point #2, I heard that studies have been done, and when guys say they like girls with a sense of humor, they actually mean they like girls who laugh at their jokes.
Can't wait to hear the next installment of your dating adventures. Older guys are definitely better...I married one. They usually know to let the girl do most of the talking.
