this weekend...

This weekend was interesting… After a few weeks, I finally got a chance to say a final goodbye to my friend that passed away. We had the body viewing/service on Friday evening and then a his wake on Saturday evening… man, it was so difficult to see him lying in that coffin, he looked so different… it was so sad… Saturday afternoon before his wake, I was just remembering all the good memories that I had about him… I remember for the time we met, he was hitting on me… and it was hilarious, we met at a party one weekend, when I came home to visit from school… well, he didn’t realize who I was, you see he use to talk to my older sister briefly (but me and him never actually met cause I was away at school, but I had heard about him and seen a picture so I knew who he was)… so for half the night I had him guessing who I was and when he finally realized it, it was just hilarious… and ever since then he adopted me like a little sister… I’ll never forget the day I met him… may he rest in piece…

So, you know how you know people, but you don’t really talk to them… people that you say hi and bye to in passing but never really have a conversation with… well, there’s this guy that I see around occasionally, I’ll call him the Accountant, that’s what he does for a living… and we always say hi and bye and just left it to that… but then he sent me a message on Hi5 last week, saying he wanted to say hello and he hadn’t seen me around in a bit… anyways, we started emailing back and forth, then started talking on msn messenger… then of course we eventually exchanged phone numbers… then the texting started… then the phone conversations began… and then we made plans to get some drinks (but they got cancelled cause one of my friends needed me)… and so we made plans to together sometime soon… and yeah I was a little excited… excited about the possibility… cause he was always someone that I thought was cute, but since we never said more than the polite hi and bye, I never thought he was interested… still not sure if he really is, but I’m leaning towards that he is interested… well sometime soon became Monday evening… so I went to his place and we just hung out… I was there for a couple of hours… we watched TV, but mostly talked and he showed me some pictures… I found out a lot about him… he’s a really cool guy… told me bout his previous relationships and the drama… I told him some stuff about me, but not much, I was more interested in learning about him… besides I’m shy (why does NO ONE believe me when I say I’m shy???) anyways, I had such a good time with him… it was just really relaxed and he was really easy to talk to… and then he was telling me about his original perception of me… that he thought I was this stuck up chick (for various reasons) and that he never realized that I would be fun to hang out with and so on and so on… now, this isn’t the first time I’ve heard that, but people take my being shy and being stuck up or whatever…

Ok, let me explain… I’m one of the biggest extroverts that I know, but I can be very introverted as well. On a one to one basis with someone that I don’t know I will tend to be a little shy (I know I have a big personality (and can be extra at times) and I don’t like to overwhelm people)… but in a group of people, even a group of strangers, I’m in my natural setting of being completely ok with being the center of attention… once I feel comfortable around you, whether on a one to one basis or in a group setting, you’ll find that I am generally an extrovert, I’m very outgoing and sometimes loud… but that’s me…

But I digress, anyways… chilling with the Accountant was a lot of fun… and he’s a really sweet guy… a few minutes to midnight, I decided it was time for me to go home since I had to be up early… we left things open and said that we should hang out again soon… and I hope its sooner than later…
