i'll just have water goes for a margarita
so after my water boy posting, you may be wondering why on earth did i go out with this guy again? well...i kinda used him. i really wanted to see 'an inconvenient truth', and he mentioned he wanted to see it as well. i don't like going to movies by myself, so...i used him. sue me.
i'm waiting in front of the cinema, really thinking i'm going to be stood up. we are supposed to meet at 6:45 for a 7pm movie, and he finally shows a couple of minutes after 7. i was constructing my nasty "so you decided to stand me up" email in my head, and i didn't get to use it. even though we have not spoken on the phone, he does have my number. i am slightly miffed that he didn't think it necessary to call and warn me of his tardiness, and he is not nearly apologetic enough. oh well, into the movie.
[SIDE BAR]
everyone needs to go see "an inconvenient truth". this documentary has been out for a few months, so i'm a little behind the game. but this is one of the most important films of our time. there were plenty of statistics and theories about global warming in it that i had heard before, but seeing them all in one film was like a punch in the gut. i cried. and i cried more when i got home. we live in very frightening times and we are each responsible for making a change in our own lives. i intend to subject my family to this film if the dvd is out in time for christmas.
after the movie, i can barely get my brain working again. but we decide to go for a bit of mexican food. i tell the waiter that after the movie we just saw, i need a strong margarita. he says that the night before a few people coming from the same film went for shots at the bar. yes, the film is that heavy. but more interesting is that "i'll just have water" also ordered a margarita! (and a second later on.) so i guess he does drink more than just water.
most of our conversation is pretty depressing - all about the state of the world etc. after the film we just watched. he's definitely a clever guy, and i think i could learn a lot from him. but i most definitely do not think he is the kind of guy i want to date. and i was too chicken to say this to him at the end of the evening. so now i'm trying to formulate an email to send to him. i know - email break-ups are tacky! but this is not a break-up since we're not really dating. ok?
is it too much to ask that a guy be intelligent and social? someone who likes to have deep conversations, but also cares a bit about what he's wearing? not quite metrosexual, but does know what jeans are cool while at the same time knows how to fix things around the house? i may be too demanding...
