This Is Near The End
…of my 2-week summer vacation. And boy, was it lovely. Surprisingly, I’ve been keeping busy since I got back last week.
Since I got such a shitty job on my mani/pedi in San Diego, I went to my normal salon on Thursday and had them redo my nails. Afterwards, I met up with some people from church to go karaoke. For the first hour, it was fun, but one of the group members was tired and kind of ruined the mood… to me at least.
Thinking about it now, I don’t know if I did anything in particular on Friday. Oh wait, I lied. I did do a lot on Friday. I went to SF to go shopping! I opened a Macy’s account and bought a lot of stuff, not just at Macy’s, but other places too. This is my list of stuff: three purses and two dresses (Macy’s), two jeans (Express), five bottles of soap and five little bottles of anti-bacterial gel (Bath and Body Works), bath pillow (The Body Shop), five panties (Victoria’s Secret), and six panties (Frederick’s of Hollywood). In my defense… they were on sale!!! If that doesn’t work, then I’m claiming all these purchases an investment.
On Saturday, an awesome, totally cool, freaking amazing out-of-state friend, JLS, had some time to hang out so I met with her and another one of her friends in a nearby town, Dublin. We were hoping, or had seen RSVP’ed, some more people, but they didn’t show. JLS, her friend, and I had some quick food before her friend had to leave. We decided to go into see a movie and chose Death Race, mostly because Jason Statham was in it and he’s freaking hot as all hell. It was an enjoyable movie and I’m just glad I got to see him half naked. We could find anything else to do afterward, so we sat and talked for a while, stalling my trip back to Berkeley. I didn’t want to leave, but I know I had to. She was tired from her red-eye and I had already missed one train. It was a good night and I wouldn’t have traded it for anything.
So Sunday rolled around and I had spent the night before doing a massive clean up in my room. I took care of all the stuff on the floor as well as all the clutter on my desks. Why? Well, one, I wanted a clean room and two, I was anticipating some company *ahem* EC *ahem*, so I wanted the room to look good. Since I couldn’t go out with EC on Saturday night, he set up something for Sunday. He didn’t tell me what he had planned, but I wasn’t expecting to get dirty, so I wore some really cute stuff. I had on a white cotton dress with a short-sleeve blazer topped with a pair of cute wedges. And where does this boy take me? To a baseball game. Talk about being overdressed. Anyway, the game was good to watch. I can be a sports person, I just never really have the patience for it on TV. If I’m out at the event, then I can watch because I don’t have other distractions. We saw the SF Giants play the San Diego Padres. Giants won, so that made the game much more fun. There were a few good plays so I’m happy.
On the way back to Berkeley, we thought we’d go through Treasure Island because both he and I had never seen it. Man, it is ghetto. Treasure Island is an odd shape. One part of it, the part with the tunnel, is tall with lots of trees, but the further away you go from the highway, the flatter and more ghetto it gets. It was a nice drive through though. By the time we got back to Berkeley, it was still a little early for dinner, so we headed to my place to hang out. Thank God I had my room cleaned! After a while, we finally got hungry, ate some sushi, headed back again to my place until it was time for me to go to church at 10pm. Overall, it was a nice day.
I’m overthinking things too much. I also noticed that I’m using SB as a comparison point for all future stuff. I don’t want to nor do I mean to, but it happens. Now, don’t get me wrong; I don’t want him back, but I remember how I felt. I remember how good it felt to be with him, both sexually and not. That feeling of being in love was so special and rare and unfortunately, unrequited. However, for that brief moment in time, I was utterly happy. Now, I’m looking so hard to find that again, or to see if I have and it’s not fair. It’s not fair to me and it’s not fair to the person I’m comparing. Again, it’s not that I’m comparing the two men side-by-side, but I’m comparing how each made me feel and that’s just not right for me to do. How do I stop it though?
Well, I’ve got at least two weeks to think about this. EC is going out of town for a wedding this weekend. I should sign onto my other screen name though and leave my options open.
