Adopted Bamboo…

Last night The Guy From The Skating Rink and I decided to go out. The Guy From The Skating Rink is a great guy whom I have known for god knows how long, hence the skating rink thing. Skating Guy is indecisive though, that to me is a turn off. We spent an hour before hand trying to figure out what we wanted to do. Unsure we decided to figure it out when he got here. I had a few errands to run before hand so walking across town and back in this weather(-10), he pulled into the parking lot about the time I made it back as well. I get in to the car.

“So what are we doing,” he asks?

“I don’t know, what do we feel like? There’s Oakland, the Strip District, the Cultural District…”

“Well, you were supposed to have that figured out by the time I got here.” Good god Skating Guy, good god.

So we decide to go to Robinson, tracking down a CD he wanted and a few other stores. I bought lucky bamboo, which I hope I can keep alive. It’s a very sweet plant and I would be horribly sad if it died. Let’s keep our fingers crossed. I digress…

The night went well and I sat in the car with him listening to Alan Cox’s new CD while he figured out if he wanted to come up or not. So eventually we made it up to my apt and I got the bamboo situated in its new home. We talked for a while and he made his move, finally…he hit me with a pillow. Yes, I swear, a pillow… then he tried to tickle me…then I walked him out.
