Tuesday night, I had dinner with
shikzoid, and we had a lovely time. Both
intelligentrix and
spikeiowa had, at different points in time, said I might be someone worth getting to know, and I was completely flattered that A) anyone would feel that way in the first place, and B) she believed them and invited me to dinner! I've been in Seattle about six weeks now, and I've been to parties and dinner excursions, but this was the first time I've gone out and done anything social where
holyoutlaw wasn't along with me at all. I tried not to overwhelm
shikzoid with my sense of "OMG, someone new to tell all my dumb stories to!!" Hope I did OK...
Later,
holyoutlaw came home from school and we made an early night of it. Sort of. We went to bed at midnight, but we stayed up all night talking (and laughing, and snuggling... mmmmm...). I finally started to feel sleepy around 5am. Pepsi is to blame once again, I had one at the restaurant, and my body still isn't back to where it was pre-plumbing troubles, where I could drink two or three a day, and have it affect me no differently than so much tap water.
This afternoon,
holyoutlaw and I took a wonderful walk to downtown Fremont. I hadn't been there before. I've been past the street that leads down to it a million times, but I had no idea any of that was there.
holyoutlaw's account of the last 24 hours or so can be found here.
Now I'm going to work on some closet cleaning, there are two small closets in the bedroom, and I filled up one when I got here, but now we plan on switching. Once I start working, it'll just be easier for me to use the other closet because it's not as close to his side of the bed, where he throws stuff on the floor that I don't want to trip over. After that's done, I'll make dinner. Tomorrow, we clean the rat cage and start tidying the house for yet another Vanguard this weekend.
