Initially I went out to B&N with Lily to help her find gluten free books and in the end after a short time spent with gluten free... Then we gravitated towards the new age section ( I told her I wanted her to recommend me some kewl new age books). We spent around like 2 hours or so together at B&N, we were reading up our astrology (meaning behind our birthdays) and she talked about her former best friend that all of a sudden changed into a douche bag after joining a fraternity. It was around 9:30PM and she had to go..... Sadness! Lily is so fun to hang out with!! She's a very interesting and eccentric person! I LOVE IT! Her hair was dirty and she was too tired to wash up (just came home from Montana) so she puts on her pink wig. SHE'S SO FUCKING DGAF AND ADORABLE!!! I LOVE IT!!!
So I spent the next hour or so by myself browsing the New Age section... Looking for small sized books (they're easier and much less intimidating to read so I will be more motivated to finishing them). I quickly but surely scan from beginning to end of the new age section. Every now and then I would pull out a book and skim through the insides of the book and read the back summary. And occasionally if the book was good I would snap a photo of it with my phone's cam. It just so happens nearing the end of my stay at B&N I snapped one last book (Osho's How to Love with Awareness & Relate Without Fear [holy shit I just noticed how fucking weird that is..... WHAT THE FUCK!?!?! Honestly, I don't know if this is some kind of sign or what]) *KAH-CHHH* My phone makes a VERY loud camera shutter sound. And then the guy nearby me browsing in the philosophy section on my far right hand side, pipes up, "Hahaha I do the same thing!" At first I thought it was just one of those random stranger comments that you'd blurt out of nowhere, and then it'd cease from there. But then we somehow started talking....... Like actually full on converse. He tells me that he does the same thing (take photos of books) except that if he took pictures with his phone's cam and the shutter sound goes off he'd freak out and look around to see if anybody was looking. Then I told him I did do that the first time, but then I got used to it and proceeded to tell him how I couldn't mute my shutter sound, and told him how cellphones from Asia had phones where you CANNOT mute the cellphone cam's shutter because of the rampant perverts over there taking upskirt pictures of woman in bathroom stalls (realized that they more often do that in subways and trains also but I had forgotten to mention about it). He then asks for my name. And then I thought it was going to end from there, but then we just started to talk.......... He asks me what book I was holding, and I was like *holds up and reads the title "Osho: Freedom" and then *shows him the book*. I didn't realize that I was standing pretty far away from him (until he said "I can't really see it") so I walked over to him to show him. Then he talks about how when he used to work at Borders and there were a lot of customers that bought books from the author Osho mainly his book about Courage.
He's a really slick and smooth guy now that I look back on it. He made me laugh a shit ton and has blantantly sarcastic humor. How he said that my name totally doesn't rhyme. He's very animated and I really like that, I can tell he's not a inhibited normie (sorry don't want to sound condescending)....... He asked if I was an introvert or extrovert.... I told him how I am both.... But asked what I preferred more(?), then I told him that I act like an extrovert but I'm actually really in introvert inside. Then he said, "Yeah, this is an anomaly for me, I'm usually just standing in the corner right there keeping to myself". But hmm.... Not sure if he's just saying that or not, he seems way too slick and upfront. Not like some shy nerdy dweeb that sits in the corner. He seems like he's very confident, but not in a cocky way. He mentioned in between his sentences "sorry kinda forgot what I said because I'm standing near a pretty girl". I don't think some shy nerd person would say something like that.
I dunno, we talked a bit and then before he THOUGHT he was going to leave for Starbucks he asked for my number. After I give him my number... He starts backing up.... and I'm like, "...Are you leaving?" (Because I honestly didn't know what he was doing..... He was kinda backing up and uhhh.... iono. I just needed confirmation, LOL). Then he was like, yeah, "I was going to go get coffee at Starbucks with Grant (his friend who I also met while we were talking). Then Grant's like, "I don't drink coffee" LOL, and then Ivan was all, "OH.. Uh.... Tea?" Now that I notice, he wasn't very slick at that part........ That whole scene wasn't very slick. But then he ended up saying, "Oh, well then, I guess I'm not going to Starbucks!"
Oh yeah, when Grant came up out of nowhere, Ivan introduced me to him and we shook hands (he had sweaty hands...). Then I turned over to Ivan and was like, "Hey! I didn't get to shake hands with you yet, *shakes hands*" He says that I'm the first girl he met that has a firm handshake (lolwut). Then I tell him how I judge how confident people are when I shake their hands (firm handshakes = confident). Then he told me how he read in this one book on how to NOT shake hands when you're being interviewed for a job and he demonstrated it on me. It was weird, I've never held hands with some random stranger for that long (it was like a minute, but that's fucking long when it comes to hand shaking). But it was chill.
The part that I thought was pretty cute was when he was acting out how it'd go down when one of his supervisors at Borders would tell him to scold a person taking pictures of books (cuz it wasn't allowed). He said that his boss would tell him to go over to the people taking pictures of books and tell them to delete, but he really doesn't want to or like to do that. So he'd go up to them and say something along the lines of: "Okay, now my boss is telling me to go over here and do my job. So pretend to look sad and that I'm reprimanding you or something. No really stop laughing!! Stop laughing!! You're making me look bad over here!! OKAY, DELETE THOSE PICTURES FROM YOUR CELLPHONE".
I loved how he integrated my laughing into his little impression. He's actually REALLY good at that. Acting the whole thing out and everything.... That's cool.
Then the B&N employee tells us that the second floor is closing and that we need to go downstairs. Didn't know that B&N closed by sections. While walking to the escalators he was all, "Huh, I guess it's better the employee tells us that they're closing the second level first, rather than just telling us to "GET THE FUCK OUT, GTFO, Ahahahahhaa". When I look back on it, I think he was trying to test to see if I was deep into the net (ch4nz status[?]).
So we're going down the escalator and I turn around and tell him "Tell me more about yourself. Ahaha, sorry, I'm kind of a creep... Always asking people questions that are not usually asked....". He was all like, "OH YEAH, same here don't worry about it". Once we're down the escalator he says, "Well if you still want to continue talking, I'll be outside!"
Oh yeah, I forgot when he asked me this but he was all, "May I call you tomorrow?" To which I replied, "sure!"
Paid for my shit and then went outside to converse a bit more. Him and Grant were arguing whether or not "zodiacal" was a real word. He told me about one of his quirky habits (pulling on his hairs whenever he reads). My quirky habit (poking my finger into shit and bending/breaking crap). Then he asked for a childhood story, I told him the head stuck in the stair case one. He told me about how he when he was a kid he'd scrutinizingly stare at his brother (who's a darker skin color than him) and one day, went over to his mother and tugged on her dress and asked her "Mom........ Is Junior black?". LOL wow, he was just a small kid and could already differentiate/divide people. I blame the tv. But that was pretty fucking hilarious.
Ivan is dirty blonde([?] don't really remember clearly), mostly white and 1/8 Japanese.
Lol, just found his facebook. Judging by his profile picture, he probably has an Asian fetish, there's an Asian girl next to him.
Dunno, he seems like an eccentric and knowledgeable person with an extensive vocabulary. I'd like to get to know him more.
The whole time while I'm talking to Ivan, I'm thinking about Adam.......... Adam....... What would you think of me? I don't even know how you'd react to this.... But I'm hoping you'd be fine with me going out with other guys? I kinda feel like a whore..... But at the same time, I don't even know where we stand on this issue of whether or not it'd be okay to go out with other guys. Since you know, our relationship isn't the conventional "boyfriend + girlfriend" possessive type. I don't like that feeling and label.... The feeling of being somebody else's property... If you know what I mean? The feeling of being obligated to act a certain way.... Restraining myself from being flirtatious etc, etc. I'm confused! I remember you saying that your next relationship was going to be an open one. I said the same too. Not sure if you still feel that way. But I still do..... I still don't have much experience when it comes to dating boys.... But yeah, what is your stance on this, love? I want to know how you feel about this. Tell me honestly how you feel about this!
Okay yeah, I was debating whether or not to send you this blog post of mine. Then I remembered, "HAY, Adam and I are super best friends forever I refuse to hide shit from him!!!!!!" So yap, here I am........ about to send this letter out to you....
Lovie dearest of mine........ I hope none of this makes you feel sad or down or insecure or anything...
I hope you'll understand......
Know that you'll always be my #1! ♥
