Blind

I went on a date tonight. At least, I think it was a date. Well shoot, anything can be called a date lol...so okay yea, I went on a date tonight. I've been a little out of it lately...to much time staring at code for long periods of time can make anyone a lil out of whack. At least I know what I definitely don't want to do for a living.

So I've never gone out so willingly to meet up with someone I know almost nothing about before. And I'm not sure why I did it, but in the end I'm glad that I did. The mind plays tricks on you when you have an image of something, distort it a little bit, and then either think of it too much or to little. In other words, some time later, your image becomes a little skewed. In the end, I had no idea what to expect. The first time I met him a few days ago was with a drink in hand, little to no sleep, and a line he stated as "All men are pigs." Not sure why on earth that one worked, but I guess I'm always intrigued by something different. I hurled my cookies that night, as Nate would say. Nobody knew that except perhaps Brittany who happened to be walking by since I was able to take care of myself, but I guess the world knows now. That's what you get for being friends with the bartender. Thanks Dustin. Lol.

Anyways, I must say I wasn't expecting much. I thought it'd be fun to meet up so I can do something different than studying and projects...anything different. I don't get intimidated easily because while yea I've got my eye out, I'm content single and where I'm at. Plus I've talked to big honchos before so a student is so much more casual no matter what the occasion. But strangely, sitting there in the coffee shop over peppermint mochas, I was nervous. I lost my train of thought a lot. And I felt awkward. Now for me to feel awkward does not mean that it's a bad thing. Actually, in my case it would technically mean it was a good thing...for the other person...not me lol. Why? Sounds odd I know. It kind of meant that I was conscious of what this guy thought of me. Most of the time I don't really care.

In the end, yea it was awkward first time hanging out, but I think a friendship can stem out of this at least. :) He seems like a good guy with some pretty big goals. Handsome and sweet from what I gathered. Lol but I'll keep in mind that all men are pigs. In the meantime, I've got to get back to finishing my dang projects.
