For those interested in my love/date life, things are still happening. Date #2 happened last Friday. It was bowling at Don Carters. She was on the bowling team at Runnels, but hadn't bowled since (6 years). Though rusty, she still handily gave me the ass-whip. I won the contest for slowest and fastest thrown bowling ball though. Under 4 mph and over 16 mph.
The bowling lasted all of one hour, we then spent the next 9 hours talking. Talking! For 9 straight hours! Tommy don't even understand. We left when the fog started to roll in and rave bowling was about to bust out (strobe gives her headaches).
Leaving, we arranged another date for The 13th Gate the next night and food afterwards, but she had to call it off later. That left my Saturday night open for Real Steel and post-LSU game Taco Bell with Tommy.
Back to the girl, date #3 has just been arranged for Saturday. Officially, it's only the 3rd date, but, damn, does it seem like we're been doing this for longer than that. Must be the marathon date sessions. Assuming this goes well, I've got a great idea for a future date (date #4?) that should earn me major "Shine Gets". Details on that later.
So how's it going? Pretty good. Considering my usual [bad] luck, I'm kinda shocked at how easy its been going. I like her. I feel comfortable around her, or as much as one can feel comfortable on a date. I "click" more with her than any girl before. I'm pretty sure she digs me as well.
Oh and every movie I've happen to bring up so far she had seen. All the superhero movies (she's looking forward to the Avengers, but not Batman 3 so much, she loved Captain America). Conan. Rise of the Planet of the Apes (she didn't like it). The Rocketeer! Various Disney movies. Even The Hills Have Eyes. And The Wicker Man!
Next time we meet up, I'm gonna have to pop the big question: You some kind of nerd?!
Hell, she's seen Ghost Rider.......and she wants to see Ghost Rider II!!!! I own the collected edition of the Batman vs Predator comic, but even I got my limits!
P.S. The first Batman vs Predator comic was actually really good. DC/WB need to jump on that jeep and ride.

Date Night....With The Stir-Man!
Who has two thumbs and had a date Saturday night? This Guy!
Just when I'm about to write off OKC as being a waste of what little time I already gave it, I gave it one last check and stumble upon someone with an interest in Game of Thrones. Read the book a long time ago, watched the HBO show, re-read the book, and then continued through the series to book 4 or 5.
So, what the hell, I send a Game of Thrones-related email. "Response Get!" We exchange a few more mails and I take the real first step, asking if she wanted to go out. She agrees, calling it a "date" herself. "Date Get!"
So we went out last night. Met up at Perkins Rowe for 6 and when to Kona Grill. We didn't leave Kona Grill till almost 11! She didn't finish her chicken salad. I didn't finish my turkey burger (which is a shame). We spent the entire time talking. Cuba (she's half cuban), our jobs, white people wearing Che shirts, photography, health, Disney, movies, family, etc. It seems kinda crazy to sit in a restaurant for that long, but Kona Grill never offered the check, nor hinted at needing us to leave, and neither her nor I made a play for the door.
We just kept talking. By the time we exited, Lion King 3D wasn't a possibility anymore. B&N was closing. So I walked her to her car. Gave her a hug, cause I gets mine! (also, I'm not a first date-kisser, sorry, ladies), and asked if I could give her a call. She responded in the positive.
Driving home, not 10 minutes later, I get a text. I figure it's from Tommy, who was at an asian wedding in New Orleans. Nope. It's her. She thanked me for dinner and said she had a great time. This caught me off guard as I'm not use to women openly being informative with their interest, much less right after the first date. I replied that I had a great time too and look forward to doing it again. She txt'd me back with a "Me too".
It was probably the best first-date I've ever been on and I was surprised by just how simple the affair was. Sitting at a table for 5 hours talking. She's cute, has a passion for her interests/job, educated, plus more! I waked into the date with zero expectations beyond a potentially interesting night and walked away......liking her.
I'll give her a call tomorrow in my break between classes and setup a second date for later in the week. She use to bowl, so I was thinking of that. I had other ideas of zoo, the 13th Gate, biking (she mountain bikes), but I think I'll save those for future dates should we move past the 2nd one. Outside of bowling, any ideas?
