The best day ever.

I promised I would give details and here they are. Jonney is great, in all sorts of ways. He and I discovered that we have almost everything in common. Today, we went to Yanni's, a local Greek restaurant, and then we took a trip up to Memory Grove park. Today was actually a really busy day. Not only did I have the best date ever, I got two of my online orders from their shipping plants and I am so so happy! A new vest, a new plaid shirt, and a new boy who's totally sweet and totally like, super rad. He smiles all the time. Really.

We met at WMCA last week. He was rockin' out on the piano with these crazy arpeggios, arpeggios I'd never even begun to hear before. I saw him through the window and, while I don't believe in love at first sight, he was undeniably cute. Plus he was throwing out them crazy arpeggios! It was back and forth and back and forth all day, him and I smiling at each other like kids do. Jonney later admitted that he was thinking about asking for my number all day. It was actually his cousin, David, who yelled to me that Jonney wanted it. From then on, we were texting. Yes, it was totally one of those stories. We got to know each other a lot, and he caught a lot of shit from his friends for liking a girl he had just barely met and texted.

He and I left WMCA today to go to greek lunch. Let me be the first to say that Jonney is a total gentleman. He took my heavy old guitar case and literally carried it all of the way out to his Jeep. It runs on dreams. Internet, have I yet convinced you that this kid is as good as it gets? He listens to pretty obscure bands that aren't obscure to me, like Scorpions (ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE) and Muse and... get this. SUPERTRAMP. So there we were waiting at a stoplight shouting along, "Don't you look at my girlfriend! She's the only one I got!" And I looked over, and I was thinking to myself, how? How did I find this guy who listens to Supertramp and Iron Maiden?

He works at a preschool. Seriously, he works at a preschool.

We went to Memory Grove park and walked up a long path, then sat down on some steps and just talked for an hour. It was so sweet. And, actually, it was the first real date I'd been on. Trips to the movies and to people's houses definitely don't count. So, here comes this boy who blows in from Minneapolis, and totally brightens up my life. Those are the details.
