I Can Pull Off Mixed Prints

Sooooo......... where to begin? I'm about to pass out quite early, so I had better make this long story quick. Sorry for all who worried... I have a reason that I wasnt on! I'll tell the Brad story first and then the Jon story.
K, so I get over to Brad's house. REALLY nice place, fancy cars in the garage. One of them is a silver Chevy Impala. I was impressed. So it's 2am by the time I get there, and we go into the living room to watch Halloween (the Rob Zombie version). I popped a squat on the couch. Little did poor naive Jakki know... she wanted to hang out, Brad wanted to make out. Being a cuddly person, when Brad scooted over toward me, I didnt protest. It's all in good fun. Until he takes my chin in his hand as asks to kiss me. First of all, I dont think anyone has ever done that to me. Very polite. I'm proud of him. And second, WHAT?!?! When did this turn into a date? I wanted to watch a movie!!! Of course I turned him down, he says "Ouch." but still cuddles. So the entire rest of the movie he's trying to give me back massages while I'm trying to watch the damn movie. But I was so stupid... I think I've just been away from companionship for too long because I dont think I ever blatantly told him to stop. Just pushed him away. And it was a back massage. A good one at that! And I dont get them that often... anyway, I am making excuses. So when the movie is over I pretty much sprint to my car (he walks me to it), say thanks, it was fun, the whole shebang, and haul ass back to the house. I just felt so confused and upset by the whole situation that I took a shower as soon as I returned. I had nothing like that planned in my mind. I mean, he is a good looking guy, but I certainly am not looking for anything right now. I felt like he invited me under false pretenses. But when I asked a few of my guy friends about it, they told me that yeah, it was a date. I just didnt know it. But to them it was obvious. Dang it, dang it, dang it! When did it become so hard to just be friends with people? So yeah. That was that night. Didnt get any sleep at all. And last night I once again got no sleep.
So... Jon's story. K. We were supposed to watch a movie at his house... but now because of the whole Brad thing I was extremely hesitant, like I needed a disclaimer or something. He calls....
Sorry for that break. Just talked on the phone with Jared for an hour. Poor guy is having a really hard day. Anyway... he calls and said that his friend from Kalamazoo was up, so I thought he was going to cancel on me. Instead I end up going with him to his friend's fiance's parent's house to watch fireworks and eat their food (but I was feeling sick so I ate nothing. Lack of sleep does that to me). We watch the fireworks and talk to DJ and his fiance who were both completely nice. Then we went back to Jon's to watch Grindhouse. We get to his front door (he lives with roommates, not his parents. THANK GOD. That was weird with Brad) and I hear shaking going on inside the house. Door opens and this huge black lab bounds out and covers me with puppy kisses. I am enamored with this dog! So (and I feel really bad about this) the entire time he watches the movie and I play with the dog. I am now completely covered in bruises and scratches. But to see a dog again... SO worth it! So anyway, I realize I have no idea how to get back unless it is light out so I end up staying the night. Once again get no sleep because the dog decides that it doesnt want to stop playing. My downfall. I get up at 8.30 because Jon has to go to work and I am so tired that I pass out in my car for a good two hours before I can see well enough to drive. Make it back here safe and sound. So yes, I am alive, and yes, I'm stupid. But I really did need to hang out with other people this weekend, even if it meant uncomfortable situations. Now all I need is a video game session and I'm set for the rest of the month!!!
