Glad we did this.

Friday night I might've succeeded in boring a stalker away from me. Uh, victory is mine?
I asked the Facebook message guy if he wanted to walk downtown with me for a live DJ show the radio station was sponsoring. I wanted to go without getting attacked, Facebook message guy seemed nice, and neither one of us wanted to spend Friday night alone in our rooms. In that order.

I fluctuated between dread and excitement, finally settling somewhere in between when I stepped out to meet him.
It was the perfect weather to walk around outside. Which we did, a lot, between going in and out of the bar trying to figure out when the goddamn show actually started and him running his fingers up my knee (DUDE. NO. I'm wearing jeans, but--NO).  Without saying much, except when he'd talk at me. When I realized how bored I was getting, I fell into Journalist Mode (tm): asked a bunch of questions and nodded a lot.  

And this happened at some point.

Mike actually commented on that when I hung out with him last night. He said he and Cape both noticed that they tend to talk a lot more around me than they do around other people.
"Well, she is a journalism major. She's trained to be good at interviewing."
"...Huh. I never thought of that."
Dammit, Mike. Stop being insightful enough to make my interest in Cape sound non-personal. Because it's totally personal in his case. And yours. Help me use this power for good, such as figuring out how much you two talk about me and how I can use this system to my advantage without creeping either one of you out.

Yesterday was a good day, a best friends day. I went with Katie to see an exhibit on rock photography and then to Publix to get icing for her dinosaurs go to the Oscars cookies before meeting Mike for dinner and prowling around the city watching the sun set and letting the night settle in on the top level of a parking garage while talking about everything.

In conclusion, Mike showed me this Dave Barry column and it made me grow abs I laughed so hard. We understand each other, is my point. *splud*

"Tell [Cape] I said hi. I'm sure he'll be excited." 
"Rwar."
"Yeah, tell him I said that."
