Sunday 10/15, We both drifted in and out of sleep all morning and eventually he climbs on top of me and we start messing around and lo and behold I come and can’t help but laugh afterward and just shake my head at him. I was on top again, go figure. We eventually got out of bed around 11:30, got ready and headed out into the shitty rainy weather. We drove down to the International District for Dim Sum. We got some very interesting items off the cart but the best was the Hum-bow (I don’t know how to spell it but that’s how it sounds). We mostly talked about sex and he tried to tell me that I’ve said some dirty things to him but he couldn’t recall any of them, I told him he wishes and that he’s full of it. We drove over to Snowboard Connection so he could look at shoes and Court called about the dress so we chatted a little but my phone was going to die. We drove back to his house so he could drop me off and I felt bad because he was going to be late, but he didn’t seem overly concerned so I didn’t worry too much. I drove home, showered and took a nap until 5:00 when I drove over to Mom’s for dinner. Kassie was late but we stayed and talked with the parents and grandparents for quite a while before leaving around 7:45 for the Sufjan Stevens show. We drove down to Vivace so K could get her latte and I could leave my car, then we went to the show. Our seats were on the main floor so that was cool and we caught the end of the opener which seemed very good. Then Sufjan went on and it was visually the most awesome show I’ve ever seen. There were 6 violinists, 2 cellists, 2 tromboners, a trumpeter, drummer, 2 other people that rotated between guitar, piano and bass and lastly Sufjan who played guitar, banjo and piano and everyone was wearing a set of wings. It was amazing and beautiful and he played my favorite song so that pleased me. He also told some stories about birds that were quite entertaining and played a new song which was so good. We left the show and Kassie dropped me off at my car then I headed home and called Eric on the way though he didn’t answer, but I didn’t mind because I was only calling to tell him about the show. Got home and went to bed. Pretty eventful weekend.
Saturday 10/14, I woke up around 6:15 and couldn’t go back to sleep so I got out some reading material and read for a little while before falling right back asleep…until 9:30! Ack, I was hoping to be up and back from my walk by that point. So I eat some breakfast then call Eric who must have had a late night because he could barely form complete sentences. He had expressed an interest in going with me down to Southcenter so I could try on the bridesmaid dress for Court’s wedding but since he was still half asleep I told him I would just go by myself and to call me when he was up and moving around. I get ready, hop in the car and take off. Kassie calls to give me dirt about her evening and to see if I wanted to come by after my dress fitting to Sean and Tiffany’s to see the baby, so I say yes because who the hell knows if Eric’s going to call me or even still want to hang out, plus he had to take his roommate to the train station at noon. So I tell Kassie yes. When I got off the phone with her Eric called and told me to call him when I was done, whoops, I tell him I’m going to hang out with Kassie but to call me when he’s done with the train station and maybe we can meet up for lunch. I go into the bridal store and I try on a size 6 and the girl is like, this is a little big, I’m going to go get you a 4. A SIZE 4?! Are you kidding me? I’ve never been a size 4 in anything in my life, and Court had warned that the dresses run a little small so I was extra surprised by this. Cripes, so I try it on and it actually fits, the only problem is that the halter strap isn’t long enough so it’s a little snug around my neck, because I’m sure it was made for a smaller person or someone with a shorter torso or something, but the girl was really rooting for me to get it. I told her I would go for the 6 because you can always take it in and who knows, I might gain 5 pounds between now and March, though let’s hope not. So I buy it, and head back up toward Ballard. I met little Addie and she’s so cute and such a good baby. She doesn’t cry like ever and I should know, having raised 5 children of my own. We hung out there for a little bit then decided to go get some lunch so we went down to Café Besalu and had their fabulous quiche for lunch and I called Eric and told him to meet us down there. He arrived and the three of us chatted for a little bit while Addie slept in the crook of Kassie’s leg, though it looked like she was faking it. Finally it was time to go and Eric had to get to work so Kassie and I drove down into old Ballard, parked, ate our Pain au Chocolat, got Addie strapped into the Baby Bjorn and hit the shops. We hit the baby store, though I didn’t get anything for Beth and Jason, then Merge which is a new boutique and was having their first day open, so of course Kassie bought a new shirt, then we walked down to Ok Ok. Addie was getting fussy because it was time to eat so we went back to the car and drove back to Ballard. I took off because I wanted to go see Pirates of the Caribbean so I called Susan and picked her up and we were off to Bella Bottega. It was long but had some humorous parts and we got it for a matinee price so I was happy. We went back home and I ate some dinner then showered and got ready to go to Eric’s for a sleepover after Susan and I saw Hedwig and the Angry Inch. We drove separately so I could go to Ballard afterward; we parked in the garage, bought our tickets then walked down to Manray where some guy made us dance with him to the new Scissor Sisters song. We went back up to the Egyptian and found our seats, then this guy comes down the totally empty row in an equally empty theater and sits down right next to Susan. I whispered to her, "Seriously?" then he tries to talk to her but she pretty much just ignores him so he gets up and moves onto the girl behind us, and when she left he started hitting on the guy a few seats down who looked like he was the third wheel on this couple’s date (who were fiercely making out). He starts asking the guy all of these inappropriate questions, and loudly, then put his hand on the guy’s leg, it was all very weird and irritating. It was finally too much for Susan and we got up and moved to the end of the row. The movie started and about 30 minutes in the guy left. The movie was good but I was so tired that I was half-falling asleep by the end. We walked back to our cars, said goodbye and I drove out to Ballard, met his roommate again and she was a little less handsy this time, then we went down into his room. We hung out down there and eventually got into bed and talked and made out / etc by the light of the vanity mirror and went to sleep.
Friday 10/13, Peggy let me leave at 11:30 for all of my hard work during the week, yay! It was so nice. I went home and ate lunch then set out for the Social Security office to request a copy of my social security card since I haven’t had one for the last 10 years. It took a little while but soon I was on my way to Discount Tire to get my tires rotated, I felt so productive! So the guy that helps me is kind of cute and clearly flirting with me so I flirt back a little bit, you know, mostly just smiling and being nice, so he takes my keys and I update the information in the computer, thinking, if someone working here had stalker tendencies a customer could be in a bad place giving out all this information, like cell number and address. I assume my little helper isn’t one of these so I give up the information willlingly then sit down and read some Seattle Homes magazine or something. About 20 minutes later I hear “Karrah?” and it's my little friend and I’m a little surprised he remembered my name, but he points outside to my car and tells me I’m good to go. As I’m walking by he’s flirting with me more telling me to have a great weekend and blah blah blah, so I smile coyly and wish him a pleasant weekend as well and walk out. Another cuter guy hands me my keys and I set off for home. I got ready and went on my walk since it was a beautiful sunny day and it felt so good to do the whole 3+ miles, but also made me sad because I know the weather changing is going to affect how often I'm going to feel like doing it for the next 7 months. After I got back I took out the garbage and cleaned up downstairs a little bit just trying to declutter for the impending arrival of my couch and possibly new carpet. For the rest of the afternoon I sit and relax in my room playing on my new computer and watching SatC and drifting in and out of sleep. Finally I wake myself up and take a shower, call Kassie to see what was going on because I wanted to go out but continued to lounge since she was going to call me back. I go on myspace and see that I’ve got a new message that says “There's a good chance I'm retarded but when you left something about you caught my attention...get back to me if you noticed the same thing”and I’m like WTF is this? I don’t even understand the wording, but I click on the profile anyway and in the “About Me” section it says “I’m the manager at Discount Tire” or something and I’m like OH MY GOD, he fucking tracked me down using the personal information I gave up so easily. He probably did take my phone number and address and is sitting outside my house RIGHT NOW plotting his next strategic move. Or not. So I start laughing hysterically and call to Susan to come read this message and tell her the whole story. He was cute, BUT he’s short, works at Discount Tire (I know that’s a bitchy thing to say but come on, he’s a stalker) and one of his favorite movies is Gone in 60 Seconds. I’m going to have to say no. After I calmed down from that I continued to wait around for Kassie to call, but she didn’t until 11:00 when I was already in bed. Eric called as well and was going to a party or something and told me to call him in the morning to hang out. I read a little then went to sleep.
