Warm and Fuzzy

There are some moments in life that I would totally live over and over again... last night really ended with one, and rather unexpectedly I might add.

Lets back up today a bit... I made plans with Julian yesterday to go to HRC in pittsburgh (I've never been there before) and probably a movie or something just for a break from my normal thursday evening quilting routine... So, we went thru with those. I completely meant to get up first thing and clean my apt. do laundry, and all that junk... 12:30 is definitely bright and early these days I guess... so needless to say, I didnt' get out of the house in time to stop at home first. Instead I called mom and told her I would be home but not til late. I also called Julian and we decided to meet at HRC at 7. As luck would have it, Sara (vag) called just before I was going to leave (of course early so I could stop at the Gap ;)) and I convinced her to come too :) So we met at a scary truck stop in Emlenton and we headed to pgh...

On the way I called Brendan mostly because i wanted to know why the hell i was in a traffic jam on the interstate near his house. Well, I got his dad, who told me he was staying the night at Julian's! LOL.... Brendan is not a good liar at all... i wouldn't have known any differently if A. I wasn't hanging out with Julian for the evening myself and B. I knew him and Kenny were shacked over at Motel 6! So I'm just like... maybe i'll catch up with him later... bye Mr. Kelley!
Of course next i had to call Kenny's cellphone just to make fun of them :) Seriously, i hope they had a great night ;)

Yeah, enough about my roomates sex life at motels... HRC was really nice! In addition to Julian, Fran and Kevin were waiting there when we got there... then Kathleen, Ashley, Zach, and Eric came... it was so loud that we couldn't really talk... which was alright with me, it was fun anyway, and hanging out with kind of a random group of friends was a nice change of pace... I've really not hung out wiht them without Brendan before.. Oh well, it was dinner... I had a salad and the restuarant was beautifully designed! We made a good attempt at Starbucks after, but I decided its not reallly a real Starbucks because they were out of practically everything! I swear it was probably made of cardboard or something.

I must say also that Julian was being as sweet as ever all evening. I really do enjoy hanging out with him... and the fact that we have our whole lives planned out together is just an added bonus- what with our 15 houses around the country and such... not to mention grad school in Seattle... all the good ones have to live far away

Anyway, we then went up to Showcase North and watched 2 weeks notice, whcih is like the feelgood movie of the century (except for Sandra Bullock's dress at the end. She looks like a misguided cheerleader that accidentally bought her outfit in pastels at the Gap) I enjoyed it, and her and Hugh Grant (despite the fact that he looks awfully aged these days) are some of my favorite actors... Anyway, Julian and I are definitely going to have both of them over for dinner (except im not invited when he invites Hugh... hmph) Anyway, that was fun...

As to the end of the evening, we got in the back of his minivan and shagged the night away. Ok, so no we didn't... just checking... actually, Sara ran off with my car keys and i walked him to the door of his car, and said goodnight as we hugged... which was fine with me.. then he says "i feel like i owe you a kiss or soemtihg for being such a good fake boyfriend for the evening" so i'm like... well i'll take one if you want ;) and hes like... how about a little one on the cheek... so he did. and that was that, and somehow it made me feel reallly good. :) Maybe it doesn't seem like much, but it was really more meaningful than making out or something like that would have been. It was somehow much more romantic, it felt good. When i walked back to my own car, i was on air. To make matters more fun, the same song was playing on my radio as his when i got in... and the next song was Ordinary Day by Vanessa Carlton- one of my favorites... *sigh* the feelgood movie of the century... the feel good evening of the century... :) :)

It was a safe drive back after that, and its nice being back at my moms... And I'm glad i spent this thursday doing something different. :)
(PS... NYNY on Monday for sure.... don't miss me too much :) )

Current Music: whatever is playing on moms bose system... one of the perks of being home ;)
