Day 42 - I just got asked out!! On a date!! With a BOY!!!

Last night when I went to JB Hi-Fi a boy asked me out!! I think its hilarious and I haven’t stopped laughing about it. I wasn’t going to write about it as I thought it might sound like I’m an egotistical show off. Then I had a good hard think about it and thought well why the hell not. This is a milestone for me.

I’ve only lost a little bit of weight but my confidence levels have amped up to about 400. I must be radiating something? Right? Or could it just be my pheromones?

So let me tell you how the whole thing happened.

I walked into the Jazz section of the store and this gorgeous looking man boy walked over to me and said Hi. I smiled and said hi back and went shifting through the CD's. He comes closer towards me and says:

ManBoy: “And what are you after?”
I (being the bitch that I am state the obvious)
Reney: CD’s
Man Boy – “Hahaha, of course you are”
Reney: Hahaha (very nervously)

So I put my head down and continue sifting through the CD’s and I pull out John Coltrane Quartet with McCoy Tyner Jimmy Garrison & Elvin Jones (Ballads) when ManBoy comes racing over again and starts going on and on about the CD.

Man Boy – “That’s an amazing CD, you will love it”
Before I could say something smart arsey I look up at him, okay I was staring at him and admiring the raddest tattoo on his inner bicep muscle. Just blinking. Blink, Blink, Blink.

Reney: “ahhem, cough, I already have this CD, I think its really great”

ManBoy: “Wanna go for a coffee?”
Reney: “Ummmm,” (rather shocked that he just came right out and asked me out for a coffee) stutter, blink, gulp, and mumbled a “I dunno.”

And I walked away. I’m such a dick. So I then went up the alternative aisle and ManBoy follows me and sees that I was going through The Damned section. By this stage I am fluoro red and utterly, utterly embarrassed beyond belief.

ManBoy – “There is no way you like The Damned and John Coltrane there’s no way on earth.
Reney: “Ummm yeaah I do.”
ManBoy: “I don’t believe you, name me some Damned songs.”
Reney: “Okay well let me think, there’s of course Neat, Neat, Neat, then there’s Smash it up, So messed up, Fell the pain, Stab your back, and then there is of course Eloise, you know I really liked their transition from punk to gothic”
ManBoy: “Fucking Hell!! Come on lets go and have a coffee I have a break in 15 minutes. You seem interesting.

FUUCKKK what do I say? What do I do???

Reney: “maybe some other time”
ManBoy: “I’m not a freak, we can have a cup of coffee, just a cup of coffee.”
Reney: blink, nervous giggle, a cough, blink.
Reney: “Man I’m old enough to be your mother!!
Man Boy: “How old do you think I am?”
Reney: “27ish”
ManBoy: “Nope, look” (and he hands me his drivers licence) “I’m 35.”
In my head I’m screaming: HELP !!! What do I do now?

Reney: “how about some other time as I have already made plans for tonight”
(NO YOU HAVEN’T YOU LYING BITCH JUST HAVE A COFFEE WITH THE GUY!!!)
ManBoy: “Great, how about Friday night? We can meet up and have a cuppa together.”

Reney” “Ummm” Blink, “What makes you think I’m single? I could be seeing someone for all you know”
ManBoy: “Nah your not, coz you woulda said that before”

Damn it, he caught me out.

ManBoy: “So what’s your number?”
Reney: “Ummmmmm, I don’t just hand out my number to anyone”
ManBoy: “give me your mobile phone”
Reney: “I said I don’t hand out my number to just anyone”
ManBoy: “no I mean give me your mobile phone so I can put my number in your contact list”
Reney; “ohhhhh, okay” (LIKE DER FRED YOU SILLY BITCH!!!!)
ManBoy: “so I will see you on Friday at say? 7pm?”
Reney: Blink, Blink, Blink, stutter, “Okay. But what’s your name? “
ManBoy: James
Reney: I’m thinking in my head, no, no, no, ManBoy suits you better. “Well James I’m Reney.”

I think this is soooo funny. I’m sort of looking forward to going out with him for a cup of coffee so we can talk music. I’ve never met anybody who likes the same sort of music as I do. The dicks I date listen to the mainstream, top 40 bullshit. Don’t get me wrong some of that music is okay but ManBoy so far likes the same music as me. This is rad!!

On the lap band front, my morning aches and pains are still present and I have realised that it MUST be due to the tightness of the band this time around. I am not that hungry and I eat only when my body tells me its time. Has this been easy as piss? So far yes. I am currently looking in to or researching the possibility of pains due to a lap band fill as I read somewhere about sipping hot water first thing in the morning to help alleviate pains? I will let you know my findings once I get a clearer understanding of it myself.
