I'm A Division Manager In Charge Of 49 People!!!
There are dates, and then there are dates. Last night was the latter. FOF and I didn't do anything totally unique or out of the ordinary. No skydiving or raku firing or swing dancing. Not even a sniff of porn star sex. But it was just one of those dates. Despite the fact that this was date 1.5, it was more comparable to a first date because of the setup last week. First dates are supposed to be awkward...weird...full of anxiety. Not so last night. The comfort level was that of two people who had known each other for considerably longer than one week.
Dinner was great. Sawasdee is undoubtedly the best Thai restaurant outside of Ko Phuket. Afterwards, we headed over to Oliver Twist. Two bottles of most excellent Cabernet Sauvignon accentuated the evening. The conversation was a figurative effusion of history, thought, and emotion, and I just kept thinking to myself, we aren't supposed to be this open and communicative, at least on first dates...we're supposed to be secretive and ambiguous in our repartee. As well, I just can't get over how much I laugh with her. Again, I do not find that most chicks are funny. In talking about our emails back and forth this week and last, she mentioned that she didn't know if it was ok to send during work hours, because she didn't know how important I was. So in my best Will Ferrell, I say, I'M A VERY IMPORTANT PERSON! Know what she says? I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS!! (...for those that don't get the joke, go here)After I shat myself from laughing so hard, I knew at that moment that we meshed on a completely different level. I took her back to her place. We went inside, and lots of kissing ensued. I went home, and not just because I had to let Kiko out. For some reason, it was just cooler that way.
On a related note, I have to give props to Bees. She called it. FOF invited me out to a Halloween party on Saturday night. So instead of sitting my fat ass at home as I initially thought, I'm gonna get medieval on someone's ass.

Steve - No Aquaman OR Green Lantern. I was bummed.
Oh, and Phuket is favorite place in the world, followed closely by Phat Tang, Vietnam.
Congrats on the great date. I'm mildly jealous once more.
Siryn - Thanks! That said, I won't be complete until you're not just mildly jealous.
well, hats off to you! real dates are so fun. and now you can get your groove on at halloween!
VP - Much appreciated. I don't know if you've ever seen a Celtic Monk get his swerve on, but all can see for themselves this Saturday in downtown Raleigh. What's the saying? Celtic Monks don't dance, they boogie?
Did you know that Dodge is no longer manufacturing the Stratus?
It is a sad day for middle managers everywhere.
A Celtic Monk? May I ask what FOF is going as? Perhaps an Italian Nun?
Congrats on the connection thing. Most of us go a long time without finding that.
And of course there is no Scrappy Doo. WTF were you thinking? Of course, in a completely unrelated note, I notice you didn't put GI Joe on your listing. Bad bad unamerican boy!
Phil - For the love of God man, please tell me you jest. Why, those sonsabitches at Daimler-Chrysler....
Carrie - FOF is going as a sexy witch. I couldn't find a flying monkey costume, so figured we'd go as the Dichotomous Duo.
On your unrelated note, technically, GI Joe, while a cartoon classic that I devoted a goodly portion of my pre-teen childhood to watching, it didn't impact me in those early developmental years like my Top 5.
I would never jest about that.
