The Foreign Boy Dance

Dear Diary,

Omgosh I was starving! I just scarfed down some salmon, MMMM I made it under the broiler with Lemon. I love Salmon like that. I was feeling kinda crappy and I havent had a lot of protein, meat last few days, so after the gym I bought some on the way home.

My gym buddy is gonna try and get me a CD burner. Hes a computer guy also and has offered his help should I need it. Not sure if hes just really friendly or wants to get to know me better, but hey weve been bantering back for a year now daily at the gym, he emailed me today asking for the computer model number.

As he was leaving he kept telling me to go faster on the treadmill. I just wasnt motivated today. I didnt even want to go to the gym but made myself. I for one am glad that when I go I sleep well and dont suffer from insomnia. Sure Im up till midnite, but that can be me on a normal day. So Im glad It makes me worn out so Im not up worrying.

As he left and was pushing me I said I wasnt up for it. I was stressed, a lot on my mind. So he asked. I said “Men” And without going into it just said “Im at a crossroads and I need to make a decision” His advice? “Dont make a decision based on emotions, and dont rush it” I said im not trying to rush it, Im kinda stuck and just dwelling in it and its wearing me out. He said to me again “Dont think with your heart, if you do you will just take a step back, think with logic, use your head, and you will go forward” and he left.

Today I went through the classmates website. I wrote 2 emails to people. I got an email from a girl I grew up with a few days ago, wrote her back also. She and I grew up on the same street, she was much younger. I told her to give me a call and she will have to come visit me at my place. So now I will wait to hear back.

I also wrote to the first church boy I had a crush on. Long story I wont write about, but the guy was full of himself, he resembles Tom Cruise and knows it, he was so into it back then that he would watch his films and mimic the way he spoke and his mannerisms. Anyways I havent seen him in almost 2 yrs and I normally see him around town but havent, just see his brothers who have taken over his families landscaping business at local businesses.

I also wrote to a guy me and my girlfriend went to a dance with. I saw he put his name on classmates! He only went to our school for about 2 yrs. His aunt was the Spanish Teacher, he came from another country and his English wasnt the greatest. He was good looking but shy.

So here is the humorous story!

Mind you Im embarrassed and what a goof I was back in high school!

So me and my girlfriend get invited to this guys Homecoming game on the military base. We both think this guy is drop dead fine. SO OF COURSE we want to go. He then says there is a dance afterwards and asks me to go! Im ecstatic! So me and my girlfriend decide to go to this. First off I didnt really date, and no way our parents would let us be out late at a military base with boys! But her parents were out of town, and I told her I was sleeping at her house. yeah we lied.

So before this she and I have been eyeing this new foreign student, and well she goes out on a limb and asks him to the dance with us, and he says YES! I remember how we drove home from school that day screaming we were going to the dance with FINE GUYS! and pounding the seats.

So I go over, we have to pick up foreign guy on the way to the base, he lives on the outer end of town so its on the way. We go to his place, and its weird picking up your Spanish Teachers nephew! haha

Mind you this guy is pretty quiet, I start reciting all the spanish phrases I learned in class “Yo Me Llamo Victoria” and naming shoes, and car, and all these things I can remember in spanish. I just kept at it and my girlfriend was laughing so hard. Oh the poor guy wonder what he thought of us!

So we get to the base, to the game. Im wearing my Oh so cool acid washed denim jacket with my big 80s bangs. My girlfriend was a little on the heavy side and wearing a leather skirt, Oh myyyy.

So we sit on the bleachers and Im sitting with oh so fine hot dude. We then head over to the dance, and well HE TAKES OFF WITH SOME OTHER CHICK! And goes to dance with her! And gets pictures taken with her??? So Im left with my friend and her date. Well foreign boy is dancing with us and he dances GOOFY? We both look at eachother as he does this weird arm movement. We both want to laugh, but dont. So something about the way he danced totally killed her attraction to him for the night. Fine boy then comes back and we all go out driving in my girlfriends Ford Fairmont(ha she was only one to have a car at that time!) We go and sit in the park blasting my boom box and me and fine boy sitting close in the backseat, we just talked about goofy stuff.

Its time to head out, we take fine boy and his buddy to get dropped off, then we drive Foreign boy home. Once he gets out, We spend the rest of the way SCREAMING OUT LOUD, things like “OH MY GOD DID YOU SEE HIM DANCE!!??? EWWWWWWWWWW” and Im yelling “FINE BOY INVITES ME OUT AND GOES OFF WITH SOME CHICK AT THE DANCE!???” Then we are yelling “MEN ARE STUPID!”

Ah the fun of teenage years. SO yeah I wrote foreign boy. 🙂 He already wrote me back one letter. He is doing his family practice residency in TN. Wow a dr. So Ill see what else he says, wrote another letter already.

By the way I know I need to start putting myself into some group activities, Im home too much still and need to meet others, and it doesnt necessarily have to be dates. I need to join something again or take up a hobby. Today I went throught the phone book for vocal lessons. Ill make some calls tomorrow to see whats out there and prices. I also have heard a few women are joining a local hiking club, I think Im gonna ask them for the info also.

I need to take care of me!
