I spent the day with Rachel today. I was kind of worried about it, and yeah, there were parts that were a little too intense for my liking, but overall, I had a great time!
I know I haven't always been the nicest person to her, when I even bothered to talk to her, but I really feel like we have the potential to become good friends. I know she comes across as kind of a pushy, knowitall sometimes, but I think she means well most of the time.
We hung out here for the morning, and then grabbed fancy vegan food and took it over to Artie's for lunch. He had Martin and AJ there for a "Mario Kart marathon of epic proportions," as he called it. After lunch Rachel and I played too...she is so good at it! For someone that says they've never played before, she is ridiculously talented. She's like...a Mario Kart prodigy, or something. Artie and I were talking about it after everyone left, and he figures she's just really coordinated, or something.
When everyone was gone, we settled onto the couch for a little alone time.
Well, first Artie gave a blow-by-blow of AJ tackling the tv, Martin, and his wheelchair, complete with acting it out Martin's reaction to everything. By the time he got to the end of the story, he could not stop laughing. Apparently AJ had a couple of cans of Pepsi, and the caffeine and sugar in them made him even wilder than usual.
Sometimes I don't understand how he and Martin are such good friends. Martin is totally solid, polite, ridiculously intelligent, and all that stuff, and AJ is...not an idiot, but sometimes he sure acts like one.
Anyway, back to our alone time. There we were, on the couch. Things had just started to get a little hot, when Artie's phone rang. I could tell that he was having a hard time ignoring it, so finally I told him to answer. It was Linds. She was calling to say that they were just leaving the grocery store, and to ask if he needed anything.
So much for alone time...the grocery store is less than five minutes away from his house.
Oh well, next time! It's not like we never have an opportunity to cuddle.
I am so exhausted. Today was fun, but I just want sleep.
