Happy Birthday, I Had a Date, and I Voted

Happy birthday to my best friend Julie! I hope you have a wonderful day filled with lots of fun and of course, yummy birthday desserts. And maybe even a babysitter!

Last night I finally had date number four with DG. (He kept saying he thought it was date six, but whatever.) He was late again, this time because as he was making an “87-point turn” out of a parking spot, he tapped the car behind him as the car’s owner was standing there watching. According to DG, the guy spazzed out and they had to talk about it for quite a while, which made him late. Um, okay.

Anyway, I wore my new jeans (love them!) and we went to The Well for drinks then back to my place for smooching. It was a fun night, and while he apologized for taking entirely too long to call following our last date (he blamed it on work), I still don’t see anything longterm with him. But I do enjoy spending time with him, does that make sense? We talked about possibly getting together this weekend, depending on my [busy for a change] social calendar and his work schedule.

As a side note, after dating CL Guy and now DG, I have determined that guys who work in production have crazy schedules, because they never know how late the show they’re working on will wrap, and half the time they wrap really late.

And finally, I voted. My polling place was the International Cinematographers Guild, and for the first time in many years, at 7:30 in the morning I was not the first person to show up. It was pretty uneventful–I only had to repeat my name and address twice, the little machine that sucks in the ballot at the end is kinda cool, and I was not felt up by an old man putting a sticker on my chest.

I could have told you that. Never make plans with people who are working in production. Wrap time is unreliable. If he’s working, say no, and ask him when he’s not working.

Wow, I was voter number 267 (or something like that) at 6:15 a.m. here in Chicago.

You voted at the International Cinematographers Guild? Fancy shmancy. I voted in a shabby little junior high school.

I Voted in that Old Age Home on Stanley. What A Weird Place to Vote! You Voted in The Dining Hall and there were Old People eating dinner when I went and some were Reading Thier Mail, which included All That Election Campaign Crap. Also, No One asked to see My ID. I could have Voted under An Assumed Name. No One would have Cared.

That’s Weird, right?

I voted in a shabby school, too. But I got misty-eyed anyway.

Sounds like DG needs to seriously overhaul his time management skills, but I’m glad you got some action out of it. (Good smooching?)

“Never make plans with people who are working in production.”

Hmmm, sounds like the reason why I stopped dating lawyers many years ago. ;)

I voted in a renovated elementary school. Someone had the bright idea to pour concrete near the wheelchair/stroller ramp (and block off said ramp), which made it difficult for the elderly, disabled, and moms with strollers to get into the building. Oh, and it was raining. No one felt me up either.

I also got out and bought new Josh Groban (”Awake”)and Sugarland (”Enjoy the Ride”) CDs from Best Buy. Excellent music! Hilary, you might want to look up the lyrics for the Sugarland song “Settlin,’” or the Josh Groban song “You Are Loved.”

How the hell should he overhaul his time management skills? It’s totally beyond his control. Sheesh!

JustJENN, no no. DG is the guy I was dating over the summer.
