I gotta tell this.....I got flirted with last night. It was like surreal and weird and well, just whoaaa !!

I went to the movies with a bunch of good friends. To go to the movies, we have to drive to Sarasota. We were eating at Applebees right by the theatre, when this group of kids came in. I was, as usual, scarfing down maximum food when my friend Meggie says, "JJ, don't look but there is a guy so scoping you out." I started to turn my head (duh) and she hisses "DON'T LOOK!! Then she goes on and on about how cute he is and how he is really looking at her. I roll my eyes and continue scarfing and joking around.
We get up to go and I look...well yeah! Drumroll...OMG !! He is NOT looking at Meggie. I practically walked out of the restaurant backwards. (all of this done, of course, very discreetly).
Anyway........we get to the movies "The Core" and sit down. Well, save me....they come in and I hear them arguing about where to sit. Just as the lights go down, they sit RIGHT behind us. Don't ask me what that movie was about....Meggie was so laughing....she kept putting her hand on the back of my chair and playing with my hair. I would swat it away and she'd giggle....rotten girl.
I sit for like 75 hours staring at nothing, finally deciding popcorn is needed. Popcorn and standing up.......I crawl and fall over everybody and escape to the counter. I am buying popcorn and a huge DP and this voice says,"Hey, good movie." I turn around and stare at huge brown eyes, sun freckles and curly brown hair, in one nanosecond taking in the little gold hoop and the small tattoo of the sun on his neck. The witty smith dialogue follows:

"Hey, good movie."
"Um...hey." (me)
"Getting popcorn?"
"Yep." (me)
"You a sk8er?"
"Um.....yeah." (me)
"Thought so....the scars."
"You come here much?"
"Yeah." (me)
"Me too. Maybe I'll see you again."
"Okay, yeah, sure." (me)
"I'm Wes."
This is the part where I forgot my name for a second......
"smith." (me)
"I like that.......sounds sweet."
"Um...thank you." (me)
(All this time he is like 1 inch from my face)
And here's the really good part.....yell at me, everyone!!
"Wanna sit together?"
"I...I better sit with my friends." (ME !!!)
"Oh,okay. Maybe I'll see you next time around."
"Yeah, maybe."
(How was that for sparkling chatter?)

Now, you may be thinking, "What a doofus!!" but you gotta remember, I am a total dork about this stuff. I get back, fall all over everybody and just die in my chair. Meggie leans over and whispers really loud, "I can't take you out in public!"
The movie ends (whatever it was about) and we all get up to leave. Now, you will NOT believe this part. I go to throw away the popcorn thingie and he picks it up out of the trash and carries it with him......Just OMG !!!

That is my exciting tale of "I'm not sure what to call it"...

Actually, I'm not thinking what a doofus. I'm thinking you're one lucky sk8ter, who just hopefully hit a gold mine. Just make sure you find him again, you hear? Wow...

I know what to call it...

"You lucky unlucky bastard", I'd call it. Smile

Sorry you have to live where you live buddy. It would have been easier to sit with Wes (and how sweet isn't THAT name huh? Very Happy) if you hadn't lived in Homophobe-ville.

Him grabbing your popcorn thingie is totally OMG I have to say, seems he wanted you BAD. Smile My bet is, he could do a lot worse too hehe.

Wheeee! (Very fitting expression I have to say).

If I were you, I'd keep more than one eye open for freckled Wes that's damn sure. Homophobes or not. Smile


Btw, how was the movie? Do you even remember any of it? Very Happy I saw the trailer, thought it looked really dumb. Another stupid special effects for the sake of 'em kind of movie in the same vein as Armageddon.

Wheee:

Could be coincidence, but just yesterday I was specifically praying for my friends who need their hands held - honest. I am happy for you!

Sounds like I need to be praying about my SARS high-risk friends as well - I'll do that, David.

Yep, that sounds like the sort of thing I'd say as well. Only a bit more polysyllabic.

D'you reckon he saw you see him pick up the popcorn thingie?

Guess I know where you'll be heading the next few Saturday nights then Smile

Hi, smith
I'm so happy for you, you were really lucky there. I could explain to you what the movie was about but i don't think you want to hear that. Yes Lenny, it's kind of like Armageddon but this time they go to the center of the earth.
Let me tell you smith, i had a similar experience like yours but i meet this guys another way. We went to the movies and i was so nervous. I mean you can't imaging how nervous, specially when he held my hand. I don't remember the movie either, i think it was "Bringing down the house". Not sure. Anyways i was so stupid ( excuse the use of words) but i turn him down when he asked me if i wanted to kiss him. He asked me. I had all this feelings that are so difficult to explain. I think you get the idea. Anyways, I guess your're not the only doofus here.
It is nice to hear that someone had a good time this weeken, i was sick, stayed at home all day. If i were you, i would go to the movies more often. And smith, tell us what happens with this boy in the future.

P.S i'm 16 too.

That is soooo cooool. But if, no when, you see him again make sure you get his phone number! And one more thing (I'm getting ahead of myself but hopefully not too far), if you get the chance to kiss him good night, don't lose your balance and fall off the front porch and into the bushes with him. That sort of thing can be a little embarrassing. Wink

Think GOOOOOOOOD thoughts,
e

Well, this just goes to show that all you have to do is be prepared at all times to be surprised by Good Things, no matter what.

Talk about a terrific example of positive thinking...!

I gotta agree with those who say that you should have your first name and either a cell phone number or email address on it, to have handy in your wallet to give out even if you might have just been struck dumb by a "doofus-attack". It could be passed to him palm-to-palm in a very masculine handshake, if necessary in a homophobic environment...hehehe

And DO spend waaaay more time in Sarasota when school gets out, ya hear me, boi??
