March Madness

I don't know that a two-hour make-out session counts as a date, but why not?

So, Deputy Guitarist is from the island of Dominica, in the Caribbean. He went back home last week, so it had been a while since I last saw him (although he very sweetly emailed several times and called me from the airport in Puerto Rico on his way back). Although he came back on Monday, it wasn't looking good for me to see him before Friday--I'm booked all this week, and he had a meeting that directly conflicted with our Tuesday practice. But he called me in the evening, saying that he was going to stop by practice because he wanted to see me, and sure enough, about ten minutes after I arrived, there he was.

He was only able to stay for maybe 45 minutes before he had to dash off to the meeting, which was disappointing. We continued our practice in his absence only to have him rejoin us about 30 minutes later. He had rescheduled his meeting to 5:30 AM the next morning so that he could return.

After band practice, he and I drove to his office so that I could see his digs--and so that we would have a comfortable, heated place to make out. :D Of course, we had lots of conversation, as well--I realized last night that my make-out sessions have to involve conversation to keep me engaged. I really think it's just me. I can't say that my ability to retain information is as strong when my brain is addled by hormones, but my inquisitiveness does not rest just because I'm sucking face. So, we talked about his trip, the island, his business. I don't think I had a lot to add to the conversation, but I love hearing him describe his home--he's so fond of it. Of course, so is everyone else I've ever known who's gone to Dominica.

In other news, I think my relationship with the Penguin may be officially over: I bought a new phone, and I tossed my old phone without actually copying all of my phone numbers. The Penguin's was one that was lost, and since he most recently asked me out, I think that means we might be done. Alas, I was so hoping for date #5!
