Well I had a great weekend =] Friday night was a very eventful evening, I went to an older friend Dan’s birthday party. It was at the local American Legion, which may not sound like much… but there were a lot of people, all different ages. They had food, drinks at the bar… and all different kinds of music. After a few drinks I was able to get some people up and dancing. I had started the evening with plans on swooning a young lady that I had my eye on for a while now. Angela (Dan’s daughter) was there with her boyfriend, and her friend (who was the one that I had my eye on). They had already been drinking a bit when I got there. Her friend was pretty trashed, Angela was doing pretty good, as was her other friend. I proceeded to get them all up and dancing. Angela’s boyfriend just sat there saying stupid chauvinistic things like he normally does… I was just dancing having a good time, usually with Angela. She danced well, we did a little swing, the twist… and were having a great time. As the night went on I noticed that Lee really wasn’t all that interested, but Angela was much more attentive. I might not have noticed anything if I hadn’t mentioned the inattentiveness of Lee to Angela’s Dad who hinted that she might not be… but Angela certainly was – “she has a good time with you”. I was reluctant, but how often do you get a push in the right direction like that? I figured I’d test the theory and I tried to get her to get her boyfriend on the floor, dance with him a little – “No… I don’t like him.” …and there it was, the little twinkle in her eye – BING!

So the evening goes on, people disperse and Angela and friends come back to my place to hang out. Her boyfriend came too, but it was a package deal, so figured “eh, what the heck”. We got back to my place, hung out, played some XBox, and were having a generally good time in-between stupid comments from “schmuck-head“. I went upstairs to grab a controller from my room, Angela went upstairs to go to the bathroom. I stopped her before she went back down, mentioned what a nice evening it had been, and thanked her. It’s odd because my first impression was negligible, I had met her a few times before and her true self hadn’t really shown through, I told her that too… and gave her a hug. She went back downstairs, I went down right after. Her boyfriend somewhat flipped, he got all huffy said they were leaving, grabbed everyone and left. They were outside for a moment or two after and he mentioned something about “respect”. So I’m figuring he thought something happened upstairs… suspicious little koot. =]

It was a good evening, I don’t regret anything that happened as her boyfriend is a tool… I never liked him from the first time I met him, and I think she’ll be coming around. We’ll see how things go. She’s very pretty, reminds me of my last girlfriend a bit in that respect. There was much less to that girl, however. I think Angela has a lot more going for her, but I’m not going to dig a hole this early on. =]

I’m just hopeful, it’s been a while since I’ve had an opportunity, let alone one endorsed by her parents 😉
