Website

I texted The Guy last night about 5:55p.m. because I had a funny story about our power being out. We had a 12 hour power outage at my house that began a little after 3p.m. yesterday. He texted me back at 6:55 saying I should come over, help him out. I texted back asking what and he said a website. The first thing that came to mind was his personal trainer's website.

Anyways, I get to his place about 7:45 and there are 2 guys there looking at his kitchen cabinets. They leave shortly after I arrive. The Guy goes back and immerses himself in his work. He is making icons for his dad's business' website. He is using Adobe Photoshop and chugging away. He surprises me because he is actually working, and working on a Friday night. He informs me he did this all day. The only time he stopped was when Louis came over. He's trying really hard to get his dad's website up and running by next week. The Guy asked me a couple times if I was bored and I said no. I was actually really interested in what he was doing because I should learn Photoshop. I'm not just saying that, but for my major it would be very helpful; so I was watching what he did.

He quit about 9:45 and asked me if I could help him. He said this is why he asked if I would come over. He was trying to do some editing on the website and needed 2 people to be doing the same thing at once or something. He changed his mind and we laid down on the couch and he started playing LOTR. We watched the end of "The Girls Next Door" and "Arrested Development." Ugh. It has been so nice to not see or hear about all those games. We lay until about 10p.m. and The Guy asks if I'm hungry. He is starving. I said I'm snacky. He asked if I wanted to go get him something. I said we can go get something. Operative word is WE.

After some resistance gave in and said I'd go get something. I asked what he wanted. He said In-N-Out. Then he also said Longs. I asked what he wanted and hinted I didn't want to drive all over tarnation. He finally decided on Del Taco. Del Taco was just a street away from Longs. As I leave, I'm standing at the door and The Guy is not convinced I'm going to go to Del Taco and Longs. I do go to Longs and Del Taco. I wait in the drive through at Del Taco for over 10 minute. I balance my checkbook and talk to Linda in the meantime who is going out to Casino Morongo for a night at their hotel. He calls me at 10:55 asking where I am. I said I was stuck in Del Taco's drive through forever and how I think only 1 person was working. I was just turning into his driveway at this time and so I didn't tell him where I was. I wanted to make it suspenseful. I walk in and he says "you really came back." I said yes. I asked if he had doubts. He said I was gone a long time and could have gone back home just saying screw it. I told him how I could have told him where I was, but didn't want to because I was going to surprise him. We eat and watch an episode of "Law and Order." The Guy is under the covers and I am too sitting on the couch. We're both yawning. He asked about 12:15a.m. if I were going to stay the night. I asked if he had to work and if he minded. Both were NOs.

The Guy got the pretzels and chocolate from Longs and went in to the bedroom. He asked for his book, propped his pillows up to put them under his stomach and laid where I usually sleep on the right side of the bed. I laid on the left with his dog in between us. The Guy probably read until 1a.m. I fell asleep rather quickly and woke up 3-4 times. The Guy wakes up at 5a.m. to go to the bathroom, talk to me, and turn out the lights in the kitchen since they were left on. At 6:15a.m. he wakes up and I knew it wasn't much later than 6, so I laid in bed instead of getting up like he does. He talks to me though about how the Del Taco did a number on his stomach and he was farting alot because of it. He goes into the office to get on the computer and I lay in the bed and sleep until 7. I wake up at 7 and consider going back to bed several times. I don't do well on 5-6 hours of sleep- especially when it has been like this all week.

When I get up at 7 The Guy is working on the design of his dad's actual website and working on the HTML. I sit with him for 2 1/2 hours while he does that and I learn some interesting stuff. I hug him and thank him for letting me stay the night and everything else.

I had to leave at 9:30 to get home, shower, and go to Jenn's party. Jenn is a girl I've mentioned several times on here before. I want to come out to her and she's the one whose mom I'm sure will find out. The party was at the Old Spaghetti Factory and was fun. There was lots of dancing. One of Jenn's gay friends was there and we were totally flirting with each other. He was telling me things like "I know Jenn didn't give you a kiss for your gift, only a hug; but I'd have given you a kiss." I told him I'd take him up on that and that he could give me a kiss instead. Never did get the kiss. He was a larger, latino guy, who was 21. I know I've seen before; and I know how I know him; he works at Macys. We also danced together. I was a little hesitant about dancing just because I didn't want to; he came over to my chair and said he was taking my hand and we'd dance. I walked out there first we danced with Jenn's mom since she asked. Then the guy and I danced to "Reach Out, I'll Be There" by the Four Tops. He complemented me on my moves. I said something to the effect of that was fun and I enjoyed it. Then he told me to stop by Macys sometimes since I love Macys and he'll hook me up with his 15% employee discount.

Also learned to line dance to "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" and do the electric slide. Who knew Jenn liked line dancing so much also? If she were closer, we'd certainly be going over to the club where they play country music.
