Blast From The Past Recap #1

June 9, 2008
me emailing my cousin Megan (excuse the bad grammar and lack of proper punctuation =P)

"to sum up the night - i called him after i got out of my dentist. he didnt answer at first. then he did.. and i was like well im here.. so he said give me 15 and i'll be there. so i parked.. ran through the rain and was standing there listening to my ipod. so im standing there.. and someone is standing kinda next to me.. so i turn and look and it was ricky.. and i was like "OMG WAY TO SCARE ME/STAND THERE!" haha so we went up to buy tickets. so we walk up.. and i say "one student ticket for kung fu panda at 535" and the guy said "2 adult for kung fu panda?" me = "uh ONE STUDENT!" the guy "okay its 17.95" i hand him a 20.. i get 2 tickets - one adult one student. so i was complaining to ricky that that was crap.. so ricky was like "dont worry since u bought my ticket, i'll just buy you dinner" and i was like "haha OKAY!"

we saw the movie.. it was cute.. we were talking during most of it.. adding comments and stuff.. but it was good! u should watch it. then afterwards we were walking around without knowing where we were going. and we saw ppl from verot pretty much everywhere. we were going into every store and just walking around (there are stores across the street from the theater) then i drove us across the street so we could walk around more - so we're walking through target, im laughing at something he said.. we're turning down an aisle and we're both swinging our arms as we're walking.. and his fingers hit my hand.. and was like "ah im sorry" and touched my arm.. and i was like "HAHA ITS NOTHING" honestly the whole night i made no sense.

then we went to moe's (awesome food) and he bought me dinner.. taco and some nachos. so we picked a table. and it was self serve drinks from the fountain. so he got up to get a drink.. and looked at me expecting me to follow him but i stayed sitting.. and i was like "i'll go when u get back" (that way the food isnt stolen) and he was like "what do u want?" and i was like "ah i can get it just go" and he said "like i said.. what do you want?" so he went and got me diet coke =)

so i drive us back to his car.. and we're just standing around it.. and he gets out of the driver seat of his car (the door was open and he was looking at me) and walks over to me incredibly close.. and points at my shirt and asked me what it said.. so i said "wha? oh.. it says planet hollywood orlando" and he was like "i've been trying to figure it out i thought it said planer hollywood and that doesnt make sense" so he was staring at my chest all night.. nice ricky nice.

so we were bored.. and he was like "well i guess its my turn to drive around" and i said "sure" and he was like "seriously?" and i said "yeah.. wait u dont like driving" and he said "i never said that..." and i said "well u said something like that" so i get into his car.. we're driving around the parking lot across the street for 3 times. he proceeds to tell me i'm a bad influence.. and was talking about how he drives around like that with his friends in the car.. and i was like "ah.. im sure its more fun with all of them than just me" and he said "no actually its not.. just 2 ppl is perfect.. 3 is awkward.. and 4+ is annoying" so i said "well arent u happy i didnt bring austin?" and he said "it's not..." and he stopped talking.. so i laughed and was like "haha u like it better without him here its okay" and then his dad calls while he's driving.. so he shushs me. and he's talking to him and he was like "i'll be home by 10:30.. i'm dropping griffon off" and when he gets off the phone im looking out the window.. and i said "im sorry" and he laughed and asked what for. and i said "because u sounded so serious on the phone.. and because i have to be griffon" (griffon = his friend) and he said it was no problem and that he always sounds that serious.

so he pulls up by my car.. and it was awkward.. so i was like "Well i guess im gonna go.. i had fun.." so i go to open the door and it was locked. and i was like "uh its locked?" and he was looking at me.. and was like "who said u were leaving" and had his hand hovering over my leg.. and then he laughed and said "just kidding.. here" so he unlocked the door. i step out graceful as ever.. my flip flop is still in his car.. i awkwardly grab it.. then im out of the car about to close the door.. he says "jessica.." and i popped my head in and i was like "yeah?" and he was looking at me with his hand by his face and said "you know i like you, right?"

i take my head out of the car.. look around.. pop my head back in.. and said "... really?" all while scrunching my face and tilting my head like i heard wrong. and he nodded. and then he was like "i had fun.. i'll talk to you later". so i closed the door.. floated to my car. watched him drive away. and just about screamed.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

HHHH! HE LIKES ME MEGAN! WE HAVE CONFIRMATION.. A MONTH LATER FROM WHEN I TOLD HIM I LIKED HIM - HE HAS CONFIRMED IT IS MUTUAL!

life is great."



(re-reading this and previous e-mails makes me realize that I was really an overly excited girl - I still totally am too but I keep most of this sort of stuff in my head or where normal people can't see it)
