after an eleven-hour night’s sleep, my friday was turning into a crapfest of pain, bordom and yawning. i was glad to get away from my work desk and come home to a kitchen-full of dishes and plans for a night in watching the movies i’ve downloaded over the last couple of days. i should have known the full moon would have a different plan in mind for me.
\ni figured that with karp in town, i wouldn’t see the friends this weekend and i was okay with that. i have so many household chores to do, i could use the time in. but, meg phoned and invited me over to play cards with them and karp. i would finally get to meet mark’s infamous friend and<\/i> learn how to play euchre. i was intimidated. mark & he have been friends since third grade and meg loves him a lot. how would mark’s old friend and meg’s old friend get along? only the shadow knows…
\nfuck, i’m way overdramatic today. sorry.
\nanyway, karp is a riot and we got on like gangbusters. it’s obvious that he and mark grew up together. they even tell stories similarly. i drank a couple too many beer (which, for me, means four instead of two) and started to flirt. i couldn’t help it! he was cute and has a deep voice. he would hum while he was deciding what card to play and i thought i could feel the floor vibrate. my internal dialogue while sitting across from him went something like:
\nmm, he’s cute. nice eyes. look at those hands!
\nstop that! <\/I>
\n*flips hair*
\ni said stop that!<\/I>
\nwhy? he’s cute!
\nhe also lives far away!<\/I>
\nso did paul. and jason.
\nand look how those turned out.<\/I>
\nhrmf.
\nwhat do you want? a quick bonk in the spare room?<\/I>
\nis that so wrong?
\nyeah, the bed squeaks.<\/I>
\noh, right.
\nsmarten up.<\/I>
\n*eye contact*
\nyou’re not listening.<\/I>
\n*fingers in ears* la la la! i can’t hear you!
\ngeez… thank god he’s leaving town tomorrow.<\/I>
\nbut i have pretty underwear on!
\n*sigh*<\/I>
\nwhen i left (at quarter to four. in the morning.), we shook hands and expressed our mutual gladness to meet the other and learn new card games. i was struck with a sudden urge to hug him. i didn’t, of course. i wanted to, though. really bad.
\ni got home and stayed up for another hour or so and then finally crashed. when my eyes opened at quarter to nine (four hours later) i catagorically refused to wake up and went back to sleep for another couple hours. now i’m finishing up my dishes, finally, getting the laundry done and in a bit, going shopping before the canuck’s last gasp. despite all the chores, i’m having a damn fine day. flirting really puts me in a good mood!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
