OK! An update for the Publix Guy story...
So, we've been talking on the phone for the last couple weeks. But we've both been so insanely busy. He's had work stuff during the week and weekends (the skydiving business) and then took a trip to California. I've had this crazy bar exam stuff - classes for 4 hours a day for the last 2 months, study study study. Almost done with all that, thank goodness.
Anyway, we've been talking a lot but haven't actually had time to get together. There was one weekend where I went to Gainesville, but I was so busy with other stuff (brother's birthday, 2 other friend's birthdays, etc.) that it didn't work either.
So I got an invitation to my friend's wedding, and it's in Gainesville in a couple weeks. It's going to be a small wedding. As far as I know, here is the total list of people I will know at this wedding:
The bride (we were really really close in law school but haven't seen each other much at all since she graduated a year before me)
Her fiancee (I've met him twice. He doesn't talk much)
A guy friend of the bride (met him once. married. also doesn't talk much)
Plus, one more person, we'll just call her Queen Bitch. (she is very pretentious and NOT NICE) Long soap opera story but she was unspeakably rude to me that I really should have risked the lawsuit and slapped her.
The point is, no way in hell am I going to this wedding by myself. It's not that I need to walk in with a date, but I just don't want sit there and not know anyone except the bride (who is a total sweetheart, but geez, I can't expect her to hang out with me all night! it's her party!) and Queen Bitch. Wouldn't be surprised if QB decided to be all fake and act nice to me, then spit out one of her special little remarks. I can't ruin the wedding by punching one of the other guests, that's just not ladylike.
The wedding is in Gainesville, where Publix Guy goes most weekends for the skydiving business. So I called him up and left a message for him "Hey, it's G8Ralphaxi, what's up? Anyway, I have an idea that should be entertaining. Worse case scenario, you'll get free dinner out of it. Call me and let me know what you're doing on [date of wedding]."
After a little bit of phone tag and text messaging back and forth I talked to him tonight, filled him in on the whole soap opera Queen Bitch story and invited him to the wedding. He said yes!
He thought the whole story was pretty funny and he can't wait to meet QB. He also said that we would definitely have to get together before the wedding, because a wedding as a first date? That's just weird!
So YAY! I have a date to a wedding!!! (The last two weddings I attended, I ended up breaking up with my boyfriend right before) And he's brilliant and hot as hell - Latino neuroscience major, I'm not kidding! Life is beautiful...
