Thursday 9/14, Peggy let me leave early so I could meet up with Auntie Heidi and Rose earlier, so I ended up getting down to the U-District by 5:15 and waited in my car for them and read outside Agua Verde. They arrived, we went in and sat down, put our orders in and started chatting. At the end of the meal I told them about Eric and showed pictures then we packed up and they left. I called Eric to see if he wanted to hang out, he said yes and told me to meet him up on Capitol Hill because he had to take Michael home, so I drive all the way up there and he calls me and says it’s his friend Ruben’s birthday and that he has to go down to Ivars to see him but that it’ll only be like 15 minutes. I told him that if it’s going to be an hour, just tell me now and I’ll go hang out at my sister’s rather than just hang out on CH by myself, he assured me it wouldn’t be that long. So I drive around forever trying to find parking, walk down to Urban Outfitters, buy the same wallet Susan has and some sunglasses, then left because they close at 8:00. I walked down to Everyday Music and looked around and decide by 8:15 that I’m going to start walking back to my car because it’s far away and because I wanted to go to the Muse laser show which started at 9:15 and tickets were only available on a first come first serve basis, so I wanted to be sure to get one and I didn’t know when the hell Eric was going to be calling me. Sure enough he calls me when I’m on my way to the car and says he’ll meet me down at Seattle Center, so I drive down and am looking for parking when I drive by and see the line is around the block, so I call him back and say forget it, it’s not even 8:45 at this point and the line looked like that! He says to meet him up in Wallingford at Kate’s so I drive up there, parallel park (yay!) and go in. He’s there with Michael, Jason, Stacy and Rueben the birthday boy. I talked with Michael forever and at one point I looked over at Eric and I could tell that him and Stacy were talking about me but I asked him later and he wouldn’t be specific. Then Michael left for awhile and Eric wanted to get a hotel room but said it in a very dirty way then we had a conversation about what we’re doing and he told me that it sounds bad but that I shouldn’t expect anything from him but earlier had said he wants to be in a relationship with me, but then said not right now but in the future. It was all very weird then he told me that his friends have all been giving him advice and one said to not call me again, but wouldn’t say who and that obviously he hadn’t taken that person’s advice. I told him that I have super low expectations which he thought was sad and wants to improve. I don’t know, we weren’t done but he got up and went to talk to Rueben and Michael came back so we started talking again. He had found the “Rolls Royce of honey buckets” and we talked about life goals which led to STDs and HIV then Eric came back into the conversation. Finally Michael left and we went into the back to play pool and I talked with Stacy and that was fun, especially when she gets all sassy with Eric and says she’s his only friend because the rest of them had pawned him off on her. At 11:00 I told him I needed to go and he walked me to my car but not before stopping me every 20 feet to make out and lift my shirt up. He said some really nasty things, but I kind of like it, then we made plans for Friday night and next Wednesday. I drove him back and we sat in my car talking and making out some more and he was being dirty again but I told him it was ok, just that guys have never talked to me like that. He finally got out of the car and I drove home and got there around 11:50. Yikes!

Wednesday 9/13, Called Eric after work and made plans to drive in at 6:30 to hang out. Picked him up and we drove down to the U-District to walk around. We went to Tower and I talked with Sandra and she looks great, then looked at the magazines but they didn’t have the new Q so we left, hit Starbucks then walked back to the car. We drove down to Northlake Tavern to meet up with Jason and Stacy, but they didn’t show right away so it was just the two of us talking and laughing and trying to figure out the comic on the wall that referred to “porking”. Jason and Stacy showed up and we all talked and drank (well not me) and made fun of Eric for his cheesy hot dog bun lunch and being from Kentucky. Julien called and I’m planning on meeting up with him on Sunday morning and he spouted off about B for a while so that made me feel good, then we talked baby and hung up. Around 10 we decided to leave so I could drop Eric off at El Corazon, but we made out in the car for a little bit first. Since Jason and Stacy were meeting Eric there I sat in a no parking zone and we just made out until they got there, then he went in and I drove home.

Tuesday 9/12, Walked after work then drove to the SE 8th Park and Ride in Bellevue to meet Alan to go look at the couch I want at Costco Home. We get there and it’s gone, and were then told that they only had it in red, it can’t be special ordered right now and they have no idea when it will be available for special order. Damn! I was really upset because I was ready to buy RIGHT THEN! I should have bought it earlier! Oh well, so I drove home and hung out in my room for the rest of the night. I invited Eric to come over but he said he wasn’t going to or something but that we could get together the next day.

Monday 9/11, Went on my walk, made an omelet for dinner and hung out at home. Can’t remember if I did anything else.
