Entry number seven:

The running commentary.

I've just finished getting ready for my Dake with Gambit now (Remy. I have to remember to call him REMY.) and I look totally bitchen hot. I mean, even Rogue was like "you look good" which is a big deal coming from her because usually she just grunts in acknowledgment when I ask her how I look. I'm so nervous that my palms are breaking out into that cold clamy sweat. I'll just have to remember to keep my hands to myself. I said that out loud and Rogue rolled her eyes. lol. Seriously though, Rogue's got it made... being forced to wear the long opera gloves all the time? No sweaty palm syndorme!

Now, in all fairness, I'm not really nervous about my dake as such, just the 'seeing Lance' part. I started to plan everything out and Rogue stopped me, explaining that I had to be prepared for all possible circumstances. Then she used Jean as an example... something about did anyone ever think she'd wind up with Scott? I know I didn't. I'm sure Rogue didn't. (Don't tell anyone but she totally had the hots for him a few years back. I wonder if she still does when she says things like that...)

I'm going to keep you posted as the night goes on via my blackberry, because I have such a bad memory, and I want to be able to share the night in all it's glory! Okay, so we're off to go meet Gambit/Remy at his door! (I know, not exactly romantic, but it's not exactly a date.) Rogue's coming with me, she said she wants to make sure he's dressed appropriately, although I'm not sure why, she was there for like an hour helping him pick out the perfect outfit. I swear, it was the longest those two have gone being in the same room with each other without fighting. Like, there wasn't a peep. No arguing or anything! I guess in the long run... even if this dake doesn't work out as planned, it turned those two into frenemies. Awwwww! (No seriously, I hope it does work out. How sad would that be if the hottest relationship that blossomed out of this was between Rogue and Gambit?! HA. I laugh at the very idea...)

I'll keep you updated!

Entry number seven .2

So... we're on our way. He's driving, obviously... and we're sitting here in complete awkward silence, which is why I pulled out my blackberry. I'm sure that doesn't help the awkwardness, but meh.
First observation: He looks SO fine... oh my gosh. Like... I kind of got giggly when I saw him, and I'm pretty sure I even noticed Rogue staring a little extra long, although she'd never ever admit it. And in reality she was probably just checking to make sure everything was in it's place. (Men are so oblivious sometimes!) Either way... YOWZAHH! And now I'm giggling again and he's looking at me like I've lost my mind through the corner of his eye. lol.
Second observation: He's awkward too! LOL! It's not just me... the heartbreakin' ragin' Cajun is uncomfortable! Awwwww... No, I should be nice. He doesn't want to like... offend me with his usual dating ploys. lol! I told him not to hold back on the charm crap once we see Lance though. I want him to lay it on thick, the more the better. Hey, if you're gunna make someone jealous, y'gotta do it right.

Anyways, I should like, try to talk to him or something. Oh my gosh! I think I left my note cards on my dresser!

CRAP.

Entry number seven .3

It's been like... 20 minutes, still waiting for our food to arrive, but Lance hasn't even shown up yet! Now I'm starting to doubt weather or not he'll even show... which is totally not a good thing. The bottle blonde bimbo he's supposed to be seeing tonight is the kind that he could definatly hit a home run with on the first date. (Did I use that annalogy right? I'm always confused as to what the "bases" all symbolize... I'm assuming home run means "have sex". What else would it be? Marriage? No I think that would be final touchdown. No wait... that's football right? Geeze... why do men have to use stupid sports to compaire relationships to? I'm so confused...) Anyways, I'm sitting in the bathroom (in a chair, not like... "in the bathroom" lol!) I excused myself just so I could announce this update would be the last until the dake is done. If Lance actually does show up... I can't be seen slipping away for any reason. I want the full jealous treatment - and that includes excessive giggling and hanging off my boy toy arm candy. Under no circumstances will I leave his side.
So I should go... I'm hoping the food will get here soon... I'm hoping Lance will get here soon... otherwise I totally wasted a night of Remy's life he'll never get back. For no reason. Blah. (I'd say I wasted a night of my own, but c'mon... I already told you how gorgeous he looked. lol!)
(I really hope he never reads this.)

Tootles for now!
