The Saga of Mr. Sensitive...Part 2 (Summer Lovin..)

Please forgive me for the delay in posting part 2 my friends... 

So where did I leave off?? Ah yes.. the warning phone call after our first hook up.. 
Okay, so despite what dear Mr. Sensitive said about it not turning into anything, the next weekend he was back in my town for.. some reason I can't remember. Whatever his initial plans were though, he changed them and came to work with me that night.  I was bartending at a club about 35mins away and I guess he just couldn't bare to leave me.. hahaha.. He spent the night that night and then ended up staying at my house for a majority of the next day until I had to go to a study group. Needless to say, he was pretty smitten by the end of the weekend. I was still... hesitant for lack of a better word.  

The next weekend was graduation and both me and his BFF were graduating so I knew he was gonna be in town, but he was still trying to act like maybe he wasn't. Idk.. so he came up that Friday night and met up with me and my friends downtown (I think thats how it went.. I was pretty smashed haha!) and then came back to my house.. surprise surprise! It was actually a really good thing he did, because I might've missed my graduation otherwise! lol. Anywho.. he was all sentimental when I left blah blah..it was kind of cute.. but still I wasn't 100% there yet. Then came graduation... had a bit of a falling out right before graduation with two of my close friends and it pretty much ruined my whole day..womp womp.. called Mr. S to talk about it and he came right over to the house... we talked and laughed and he cheered me up some.. but what pushed me to the 100% point with him was the following: I had my grad party to go to at home (1hr away) and he had his BFF's grad party to go to in his hometown that afternoon.. but when he saw how upset I was about the incident at graduation he told me that if I didn't want to go home he would just stay there with me instead of going to his friend's party.. it may not sound like much, but if you knew him, you'd know that was a lot.. so then I became smitten right along with him..

So I ended up going home.. had fun with the fam.. got drunk again and passed out lol.. enjoyed Mother's Day w/my mom and then went back to school.. if I got back to my house at 5:30.. he was there by 7 (he had gone back to his home also so.. yeah he came back).  He skipped work the next day and hung out with me.. and it was like that most of the summer. He came down on weekends.. in the middle of the week, whenever he wanted to see me basically. Sometimes he called out of work, and sometimes he would just wake up extra early to be at work. We had fun.. we  genuinely enjoyed being around each other... it was almost perfect... 

Now I need to point out that from the beginning we both had intentions of moving out of state at the end of the summer. Me to Boston and him to California. So I was never in the dark about his plans or anything like that. I will say that I had a little fantasy that maybe he would want to stay because of me.. but in time I learned that was never an option even if he had thought about it.  Okay now back to the story..

Sometime in July he took a trip to California. I didn't really think much of it at first because I knew he had some friends out there. Then, once he was there he didn't call, text, or answer the phone. I was more than a little perturbed. He was gone for maybe 5 days.. and when he got back his explanation was that he went into total vacation mode and wasn't taking calls or anything. I wasn't buying it, but I couldn't make a big deal of it since we weren't exactly a couple or anything. Few days went by and I just let it ride because he went right back to being his old self again. Then I went up to NY for a weekend to visit my dad and we talked maybe once. I called him when I got back and he was at work so we chatted briefly. About an hour later there was a knock on my door.. he drove down since he got off of work early!! It was a very sweet surprise although I was a little annoyed because my house was a mess! I had to move out of my place in a couple weeks b/c my lease was ending so we made the most of those few weeks.. I had gotten a job in the city and was commuting so we both would wake up early and leave for work and he would come back at night.. once again things were on the up & up. Moving weekend came and at first he seemed like he wasn't going to come through at all.. but there he was Friday night. We went out, had fun came home did minimal packing lol... The next morning my mom came to take some stuff so he helped us move stuff (including my bed... womp womp). He was supposed to leave Saturday afternoon, but he stayed and slept on the floor with me that night. Sunday we said our goodbyes.. leaving things kind of uncertain.. because neither one of us knew how things would turn out after that point. I was going to live with my grandmother for the time being.. and he was at his mom's house for the interim before he moved..

And I think that's where I'm going to leave off for today.. the next part is gonna be a little hard for me to write about because its where the heartbreak comes in.. sorry guys!! I promise I will post it sooner than I did this one!!

The Saga of Mr. Sensitive...Part 1


We met at the beginning of my freshman year of college at a mutual friend's house party. Our mutual friend is actually his BFF.  I pretty much had a crush on him from that day, but he went to a school about 4 hours away and was also like 2 years ahead of me in school.  We'd see each other every now and again when he would come up and we were fairly friendly to each other, but I really don't think he noticed me that much outside of being a younger friend of a friend. Over the 4 years we became friendlier, exchanging numbers and chatting on occasion.  I always crushed on him, but with him being so far away I had other male interests at school ;-). We always flirted a little but nothing too major.  Then comes my senior year.  He's now living back in his hometown which was about 2 hours from my school.  One random weekend a month before graduation he comes in town and hits me up.  I actually had some time so I met him and some of our friends at a bar downtown.  As we were catching up something kind of changed between us and we clicked in a totally different way than before.  There was a party at another bar later that night so we agreed to meet up again there. 


At the next party we did some major flirting and as the night went on he couldn't keep his hands off me.. not that I could blame him, I looked pretty damn hot that night. We were quite drunk by the end of the night and I ended up going home with him.. (such a little fast tail I know).. now mind you we have never even so much as kissed prior to this night. BTW-he is a great kisser!!



So fast forward to a couple days later.. I'm on my way back to school from visiting my mom and we're talking.. I'm a little foggy on the exact words of the hour long conversation (this was 3 years ago) but the basic gist was this: him: "I had such a great time the other night... I never thought you liked me in that way after all this time... I really enjoyed seeing you... but I don't want you to think that this may turn into something more like we are about to start talking [slang for casually dating/hooking up]." me:"I had fun too (making out? yes. other stuff? a little lack luster).. yeah u never asked, I didn't think you like me either... umm yeah I didn't."  I literally almost started laughing in his face...well his ear, but you know what I mean. 

Looking back, its funny that he actually initiated that conversation considering that all his actions afterward completely contradicted that very statement.  After that weekend, I think I saw him almost every weekend for the rest of the summer, if not more. But, the romance and heartbreak can wait until tomorrow.. because when I say this story is almost a saga.. I kid you not. Part 2 will be up very soon!! :-)

updates and thanks...



first the thank you's to any/all of you who had well wishes and/or prayers and/or thoughts for me, my family, and my grams.  Today she went to her consultation with the neurosurgeon and she will be having surgery on Thursday (hopefully to remove it).  I've seen her twice since I got the news.  The first time I went was last Friday.  It was def. an experience for me because for 1. I am not good with sick people.  Not in a derogatory way, just in a .... that is def. one of my major limitations in life. and 2.) It really just hurt my heart to see my Grams just not herself.  She got confused and distracted easily, she wasn't as lively as usual, and just kind of distant.  Now don't get me wrong, she still has her mind.. we still gossiped a bit and made jokes.. but just not the same.  I saw her again last night b/c my dad (her son) is in town and staying at her house.. she seemed in better spirits yesterday too.  That def made me happy... any who.. I don't want to dwell too much on this because I know she wouldn't want that.. I'm anticipating Thursday and just hoping things go well..

In other news...

The date with Mr. Pisces.. did not happen.  Oddly enough I ended up going on a pseudo date with.. I want to call him an ex, but we never had official titles but lots of feelings.. umm lets call him Mr. Sensitive.. in order for you to fully understand our pseudo date you will have to know our not so great history.. I'm currently at work though so.. I'm going to publish this post.. and then tell that story it in a bit.. stay tuned...

bad news

Today is not a good day...
I just found out my (favorite) grandmother has a massive tumor growing on her brain... hopefully we'll find out if it is operable today.. Please keep her in your prayers..

Thanks...

5:35 AM

Why am I awake you ask??

Tonight (well really Sunday night) I had to work, and my coworkers and I went to this bar in downtown Decatur (a small city about 15 min east of ATL) named Zucca's. 

They recently started an "Industry Night" on Sundays (that is for people in the service industry btw) so we decided to check it out when we got off. Had a freakin blast!! I was drinking Bacardi Peach Red w/ Ginger Ale & a Splash of lime juice. 

I recommend that drink to all ladies who like a little sweet... come to think of it, I may start doing a drink recipe section on this site... being a bartender and all.. is that something you'd be interested in??  Any who... for whatever reason, this past weekend we (at my job) were fixated on "The Hustle" and learning how to do it.. after polling everyone at work, we youtube'd it and found this great video:


After mastering the moves at work... we took our newfound knowledge to the dance floor at Zucca's! You best believe we shut it down... hahahah...I did have to beg the DJ to play the song... but it was totally worth it. That was the first time we've all hung out before.. I had a great great time!

So back to the point.. I'm awake right now because I was catching up on the Blogger Coffee Shop Forum.. checking out some new blogs to add to my Google Reader.. and catching up on my shows... I've made it to Season 2 of Ghost Whisperer by the way...I have been a crazy insomniac lately.. my sleep schedule is shot to hell, and I can only hope to get things back in check soon...

** Sidebar** I'm off next Saturday and I told Mr. Pisces, so I'm thinking that may be the night of our date... well his exact response was "Then lets do it!" ...so provided he follows up in an appropriate manner, I guess we'll have a date.  Also, The Old Man surprised me at work last night.. he's still half way in denial.. but for every step he takes to acting better, he takes 2 backwards shortly following..hahah.. 

ok, I'm gonna try and sleep now.. or at the very least lay down.. 

Tata,

Afternoon thought...


They say you know its time to leave a city when you are no longer inspired when you see its skyline...(or something to that effect).  For the longest I had always said when I finished college I was moving out of Atlanta (I'm originally from NY so, ATL is not my home home) to somewhere else.. back up North maybe.  Then one day something switched.. I just started loving ATL.. not in the I rep Atlanta everywhere I go type love, but just the... yeah this is where I live!!  On my way to work every evening I get to see this amazing view of 2 skylines.. Buckhead and Atlanta.. at night when all the lights are on.. its simply gorgeous. I don't have the actual pictures but here is one that def does my city justice...  


There is also the spot on I-20 that has another amazing view.  I tried to get a pic of it last night and almost got off on an exit not paying attention =O lol.. so needless to say that didn't turn out sooo hot. I may still post it later though... for now, I'm off to work.

..updated...

here are some day time shots while on the way to work....
Buckhead.. from 400S

Atlanta.. from 85S

I'm gonna try and get some night time shots when I leave... what do you guys think of my city?

procrastination and acceptance..or lack thereof


... I have work to do. School work. like... MBA, Grad School, type School work. 

But what am I doing instead? Watching Season 1 of The Ghost Whisperer online...

I started doing some of my readings while at JOB #1 this morning.. but we were very busy and spider solitaire was challenging today.. sooo I think I got a good 2 paragraphs in.. yes!! Apparently I am in denial about the actual load of work I have to do for this week. Much like my most recent ex (the old man) is in denial about our break up.

Have you ever experienced that?

We were talking yesterday... actually it was more like early this morning.. and he kept referring to me as "his girl" and I had to keep reminding him .."no we're not together" him: "yeah I just can't accept that, I told you that you can't quit me." Um hi.. WHAT?!? 


Is that how it works now? If one party objects, the other person's decision/desires/needs are now null and void? I feel as though I should be flattered in a sense that he doesn't want to let me go.. but he's still not changing anything either...sooo.. it's kind of like.. hmm maybe you just don't want anyone else to have me.. it may not even really be about me at all.. HAHA.. yea right! lol.. well...idk.. On a "funner" note, that guy I dated back in 08.. we'll call him.. hmmm Mr. Pisces (b/c he's a Pisces like me).. well he called today to reiterate to me that he wants to take me on a date sooner than later.. I'm a bit ambiguous about it simply because we were kindof close to starting something real and then.. ehh that's another post.. but anywho.. I'm intrigued to see if anything will come of this.. After dating someone so much older than me, I'm slightly ashamed excited ready interested happy ready to see what it will be like to date someone my age.  


Audience Question(s)?? ++Have you ever dated someone w/a big age gap?++ How did it compare to dating someone closer to your age?++ Have you had someone reject your break up attempts?++ I'd love to hear about it!!

Thanks for stopping by.. Follow me if you like what you read! Stay up to date!! :-)

See that? I'm already doing better!

Today has already been a productive-ass day! Kindof. well if not productive at least triumphant!
Remember that "roomate" I had for like a week? Well she was really trying to not give me my house key back for like over a week and it was PISSING me the F**** off!So, after quite a few ignored phone calls and BBM's (Blackberry messenger for all my non BB-ers out there) she finally decides to answer me.  Needless to say I rushed over there as soon as my nails were done. Yes, beauty comes first.  I love keeping my nails looking good, and trust me they needed a fill-in BADLY!! So anywho, got the key w/o any drama Thank God.  I am not one to burn bridges with friends, but that is one friendship I do not mind ending.  Do you know I even got this girl heiffer a job as a server at the club I work, and she just didn't show up for her 3rd day of training! That's that bull shit. Now I think she is free-loading off someone else while her 2 kids are staying w/their grandfather. tsk tsk...

In other news, If you notice for the post prior to this I'm testing out this mobile blogging thing, although in reality I just don't think my life is THAT interesting that I need to be able to blog on the go.. but hey, you never know right?  Really I just wanted to post a pic of the NEW CAR. I finally got my tags today! How lame is it that I'm excited about tags? A 'lot yes I know. Really I'm happy because now I can get my Cruise Card for the toll plaza back! woop woop. But I am gonna try to post the pics sometime tonight, even if not through the mobile blog.. ohh apparently my service provider is not supported.. hmm are google and sprint beefing??

I have been trying to gain more readers via the "coffee shop" forum on blogger help.. I'm not sure if its working so.. if you'd be a dear and comment or follow and let me know your origin I'd be ever grateful..I'm kindof diggin the forum though simply because I get to find out about so many different blogs.  Now I'm not saying every blog I've found has been great or even interesting to me, but I wouldn't have found them otherwise.. ya know? I feel bad though because I read my blogs through Google Reader (which is AWESOME for keeping up w/multiple blogs btw) so a lot of the ones I am "following" per se, I'm not following on their " Follow Me" thing.. ehh oh well. At least they got a reader hit right? I'm just trying to get my readership up right now.. so if you like what you read.. please check back for future updates.

~Thanks for stopping by!~
*Miss Pisces*
Trying out this mobile blogging thing. Bear w/me. :)

Is anybody still there??


Hello! Happy 2009 and 2010! Yes, it has been THAT long since I have updated this blog.. am I ashamed? Yes, indeed. How has everyone's life been over the past year and a half? I noticed that almost all of the blogs I was following in 2008 have not been updated in about as long as this one.. great minds think alike perhaps?? haha... Ok time for some updates...(drumrollsssss)

-I MOVED!! I now live ALONE!!! in a great townhouse loft in Atlanta. (you have no clue how happy I am!)

-I now have 2 jobs! I got one of them back in 2008 I just forgot to blog it.. but I kind of both of them. Ok, hate is too strong... I don't really care for either of them.. yes, thats better. However, I will not make the mistake this time of quitting a job before having another one. no sir.

-The older beau and I broke up on Tuesday.. it was a ridiculous rollercoaster of a relationship for 1.5 years... the worst part is, I'm still giving him another month to get his act together and try and win me back.. (stupido yes I know)

-since my break up, I've already been asked on a date (by a guy I dated briefly in the beginning of '08 and who I also went to HS with [go figure] AND visited by an "ex" from college who drunkenly asked me to be his date to a mutual friend's wedding... there is hope for me yet.. haha

-I started graduate school!! I'm getting my MBA in Management. One of the smarter things I've done in the past year and change.

-I bought a new (used) car because my old car (my baby: Protehj (protege)) had run her course. It is a 98 Acura CL.. I love it in theory but not in reality because he (I just decided its gonna be a he..lol) is already giving my issues. The Check Engine light keeps coming back on.. and I think it has something to do with the transmission-esque area. Not the actual transmission but the Torque Converter thing.. I've been doing some research. So needless to say, that makes me QUITE unhappy. Once I get that fixed though, I'm hoping to really love him. hahah

-I had a roommate for a week.. trying to help a friend out, and she may have singlehandedly convinced me to never help another friend in need again.. haha.. (she WILL be getting a post dedicated to her soon)

... and there you have it. My life has had some definite excitements and improvements in the past... year.. but I'm still same old me.. same old man dramas... well not same same, but you get the drift.

Ok.. that's enough for tonight. I PROMISE to do better. I will try and blog at least twice a week for the next month.. how's that? :-)

~~Until next time,

MissPisces!
