The First Dance
So – I had spies, as Auntie was there for a while, and scored me a photo of them together – as the pup says “When we were still happy!” Because her over protective cousin apparently “went off on [her] date!” because he’d promised to dance with her, and then didn’t. So now…
“If he DID like me, He’ll probably NEVER LIKE ME NOW and I’ll be a laughing stock of the school because I’ll be known as the girl with the overprotective brothers and cousins and…”
… The other two were EASY. I… don’t think I’m ready for this amount of drama… *L*
But, home for two seconds, and she’s on the phone with her BFF, talking it all out…
“It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have asked him to dance..”
“It’s not your fault! He promised!”
“He didn’t promise, he just said he would…”
Me: SIGH.
It’s not the end of the world, of course, and she DID have fun, “Right up until they went off on my date!” *L* Aaaahhhhh, hormones. Gotta love em.
She says she had a good time, for most of it, which is better than an awful time for all of it. So we’ll just have to accept that for what it is. 🙂 Specially as she’s not allowed to date, anyway.
[Though if I were her cousin? I’d watch out on my next date, else The Pup opt for Revenge… just sayin!]
Overheard:
So – the Pup comes home, and tells me that a boy asked her to the dance. Well, that they both kinda asked each other. And that she wants to go. Her first dance, and meeting a boy there.
Then she said “DON’T TELL MY BROTHER”.
Oh REALLY. So I posted it on Facebook instead. Then told her brother. She’s got one of her best friends on speaker phone, and they are discussing this… loudly.
The Pup: Well, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT? If you had a brother who’s HUGE and MUSCLY and wants to DRIVE YOU TO THE DANCE with his FRIENDS who are JUST AS BIG so they can TERRIFY the guy you LIKE?
….I am laughing, hysterically. and also? kinda terrified…
Questions… and an answer.
Question the First:
the other day at work, someone I went to school with shows up. I don’t recognize his name at first, but we chat and it’s light-hearted and I tease his kids, find out he’s a single dad, just moved back home and in the end – hand off my number so we can catch up sometime.
Text mom – and say ??? Do we know this dude? Realize who it is. Oh. dear. Not a fan in jr high/high school. But it was 20 years ago, so who knows. Did do a quick background check (thanks to mom working where she does) and there are a couple red flags. But…all I said was “gimme a call sometime, we’ll catch up.” He’ll never call.
He called.
I didn’t recognize the number, so didn’t answer, and listened to the message. Apologized for waiting a couple days, said to call back. Nothing big, or anything.
So – do I call him back, and do the old (not)friend catchup thing or not?

Question the 2nd:
On a scale of 1-10, how desperate does one have to be to sign up for a dating site? Is it really acceptable in today’s society? especially as someone [we wont say who] tends to type better than talk anyway? As frightening as that is when one considers her lack of spelling and grammar skills?
~~~~~~~~~~
Answer:
No, I will not delve into the reasons behind the previous post. Let’s just say: It’s been 6 years, what’s another decade or two? The end.

Question the 3rd:
Hello? Does anyone still even check this thing since I tend to forget it too?
~~~~~
There is no question 4.
