Exhausted

This weekend has been so insane. I have been going non-stop and I am officially exhausted and don't even want to think about going to work/what this week will be like. My family came up to NYC for the weekend and I was able to spend a lot of time with them. I went to Coney Island for the very first time and it was different in an interesting way. It wasn't nearly as trashy as I thought it would have been instead quite the opposite. Hung out with them pretty much all weekend...and babysat Friday and Saturday night.

On Saturday night however, I was watching School of Rock then my phone rang. And it was a number I didn't know..and I answered it. It was Peace Corp guy!! He called me to have a phone date hahahahaha!! I was obviously like say whaaat? He was driving back from Long Island and had some time to kill so he thought of me. Well isn't that sweet? We chatted for a while and the conversation was actually pretty good..no weird awkward pauses. But it was just kinda middle school-ish. Why not ask me on a date? Instead of doing this phone date thing? But at the end of the conversation he did ask me to dinner/drinks. So we agreed Monday evening at 7:30! Aka-tomorrow night.

Mark- we texted for a bit on Friday evening and then again Saturday. He ended up meeting me out on Saturday night at my friends birthday party. I was with my group of guy friends and they are a hoot. I love them to pieces but sometimes they can get on my nerves. They don't do it intentionally but its almost like I have to babysit them and hang out with just them. I am a social butterfly I enjoy meeting people and talking to other people. Well it was me, Same, and Fred that were at the bar. Mark came a little bit afterwards and they weren't very inviting and very chatty with him..which kinda made me mad. Because I had to just talk to them and kinda ignore Mark. Well, as the night went on they found their groove and I was able to just talk to Mark. At first I felt a bit uneasy because someone asked how we knew each other to him and I over heard. And its not that I am embarrassed that we know each other through Match.com but obviously, I'm not proud of it. I am know sure what he responded with but I am pretty sure he didn't mention match. But we had fun at the bar and ended up going to Mcdonalds afterwards and had a ball! I took a cab home and passed out.

My father arrived in New York at 6 AM today and I had to go pick him up. Mind you that I went to bed at 4 AM. Am I a good daughter or what?? Came back to my apartment and passed back out for a couple of hours. Woke up and took him around the city. We had so much fun together and I love him so so much!! We ended up seeing the rest of my family and had brunch with them and that is always a treat. And by 5 PM I dropped him back off to the bus station. Yes my father is insane and only came up for ONE DAY.

I had dinner plans this evening with Mark..and I'm not gonna lie. I wasn't looking forward to it..not because I was tired or anything but because I felt like there was no sparks/chemistry/za za zoom between us. I know that sounds awful but its the truth. I was contemplating on backing out because I wasn't in the mood. However, I sucked it up and just dealt with it. And I'm really glad I went on the date with him. He is a really nice guy, funny, charming, cute, BUT I wish he was like 3 inches taller. Thats my one thing!! His voice still cracks me up but I look past it because he is a good guy. I am not forcing myself to actually like him...he is growing on me and these things take time. We talked about the night before because he blacked out at certain points and I told him how he called himself fat and I agreed with them. And also, how I am so mean to him in general. Again fun time. When he walked me to the subway I was praying to god that he wouldn't kiss me. Is that weird?? I mean I just don't think I am ready and its waaaaaaay too soon. I want to still get to know him. He opened up tonight we talked about our parents, friends, etc. So overall- a really great night with him!

Sean- I was so nervous that he didn't understand my humor and wasn't interested in me. Don't ask me why. But nonetheless, he did respond and we are meeting next weekend!

OAR- I am meeting him either wed/thurs to do a beer garden? I don't know how I feel. I don't like doing "just drinks" as a date..I like to eat and get to know someone. Maybe I'm not much of a huge beer drinker. It kinda turns me off a little bit...but we shall see!!
