mucus in my brains

A few things have happened the past few days. I enrolled for second semester. I went through another future crisis in which I reevaluated all my recent decisions, had a panic attack about the likelihood that I'll actually be able to get paid for doing what I want to do. Had a panic attack about upcoming concerts. Got some more awesome music.


Here's a verse that I liked this morning.
You have done many good things for me Lord, just as you promised. I believe in your commands; now teach me good judgement and knowledge. Psalm 119:65-66

Day 3- Describe your ideal date
Does this mean describe the person or the activity?
Ok, we'll say its the activity because I still don't know what the person is like


I can either put a lot of thought into this and be accused of being too particular, or say some nice general things like, "My perfect date would have nice conversations and we would walk down a beach talking about world peace." Sorry for the Miss Congeniality reference but that's where my mind goes when asked such a cliche question.


So here goes the scenario with way too much thought put into it...
Be warned though, this date is probably way beyond a male's capabilities just because I am a girl and I think like one and well, guys don't. That's not to say I'm a feminist, although I do have feminist tendencies sometimes. That's a different blog though. Let me just say that I acknowledge that the differences in creativity and date ideas between male and female are God-designed and are wonderful in their own way. That being said, you need to understand that I am neither dependent on or expecting this ideal date, I'm just writing what it told me to. There you have it.


This date could be summed up with one name mentioned and that being it, but I will expound to humor you...


Firstly, it would start with a proper invitation. This is something I think guys need to work on.
By proper, I mean more than "Hey, let's do something sometime." I'm also assuming that this is not the first date. First dates are never the best dates. I would want to be comfortable in order to have my ideal date.


In general I would say the guy would pick me up, but there are circumstances where I understand it being ridiculously inconvenient, so I would drive if I had to.
The date would start with something classy like a concert, a local play, a festival that's in town or seasonal activity like Christmas lights. Something you can't do everyday. Then, there must be food. I'm fully okay with that food being street vendor food, fast food, or steak dinner, as long as both parties are flexible. I'd like to see some lighthearted conversation taking place between my date and the waiter or cashier, just because it means he's not clingy. Dinner should be pleasant and lighthearted and include laughter about the day's events. I'll offer to pay for my share the first few dates, or until the guy knows me well enough to tell me when he's broke and I need to help out in order to continue doing nice things. In which case I would be glad to do so. Of course in this case, he pays. It is ideal after all. 
After food, we play. It has to be something that's just mine and his thing. Like stealing street cones, hanging our feet over a bridge guessing what color the cars are, or expanding our expertise in all things ice cream by systematically searching for the best ice cream in all the land. It doesn't really matter what it is as long as its ours. It can just be driving around, looking at what the world has to offer us, blaring music, whatever. 
After that, we find a place that encourages thought and conversation. Coffee shops, parks, couches, and stars are my favorite, but the place doesn't matter to me really. This is where I talk, I dream, I reminisce. Ideally, I wouldn't get to talk for too long, because I start to say things that don't make much sense. The guy should talk too. It should be fun and honest but nothing too serious. No boringness allowed either. Nothing fake either.
Then, it ends with a jam session. Guitar, keyboard, some car to play drums on, it doesn't matter. We sing and scream and laugh and bond. 
A hug and/or kiss and then we say goodnight.
Then, he texts me when he gets home so I know he isn't dead.
The end.


In light of this blog, I asked some people about their ideal dates
Abbey's ideal date is one where he's hot and opens doors, and they do something new.
Christina's ideal date is a nature walk. She's been talking to me about a nature walk since school started.
On Anne's ideal date she wants to go skydiving and then go eat afterwards so that they don't throw up.
Lauren's ideal date requires a hot boy. She wants to go to Taco Bell and then he will take her on a cruise and then they get married on the boat.
Caitlyn refuses to answer.


Now, a Caitlyn quote. "I CAN HEAR when you're phone buzzes and its the SAME AS WHEN YOU'RE TALKING."
