jackofallgeeksAnd so ends my Spring Break.
Last night I had intended on getting in bed at Midnight, and sleeping until 6am, for six hours of sleep. Alas, Trevor chose right then to return to the room, and proceeded towards the internet and turned his music on. I crawled into bed, hoping he might take the hint, or at least I'd just fall asleep. Neither happned. I'm not sure when I conked out, but I was awoken again between 3am and 4 am when he was still up reading. I was awake again around 5am, after having an odd trip-related dream, and my alarm went off at 6am. I got up, showered, packed, and hit the road at 6:30.
For one reason or another -- general driving complications I believe -- I was listening to the radio the great majority of the way down. I ended up listening to Country as I rounded the bend of Richmond. I tried to concentrate on the task at hand, but Country has a way of sucking you in, once you're hooked. Eventually the station was changed to Rock, about the same time that I hit I-64.
I got to St. Matthew's at around 9:30, almost exactly three hours after I left. I figured that she would likely get there around 10:30, so I tried calling her Cell Phone. Apparently, she doesn't have a Call, and I got her Home. Luckily for my general ego, Sara answered, and I played around with her, as she wasn't aware that Amanda was meeting me.
When Amanda got there, we walked around St. Matt's for a while, chatting on the swings until 11:30 mass. Went to mass, and afterwards talked with Joey and JR -- who we both thought was VJ!! Apparently, VJ's as tall as me. Weird. Additionally, Joey and Jenny are both going into the Military -- Joey as a Naval Officer and Jenny as an Air Force Reserve. Weirder still.
Amanda and I went to Chesapeake Bagel Bakery for Lunch, but she had McDonalds. We chatted then for a long while as we ate, about alot of nothing, really. But we had a good time chatting, and then headed out to the beach. She got lost heading down Kempsville instead of Lynhaven, but we got back on track eventually. She has some of the cutest expressions, and it's entertaining to watch her grooving to music. When we got to the Beach, we parked and walked up and down the sand for a couple hours, just talking more on general stuff. She wanted to look for sandals, and so we walked around for another hour, with no success.
After the beach, neither of us knew what to do, so we went back to St. Matts and sat for another three hours sitting in the car chatting some more. She had really pretty eyes, and an elegant kind of grace about her. She's about *exactly* my height, with shoulder-length brown hair, and she looks really good -- 'well proportioned' was her term. And she was most enjoyable to speak with, very intelligent, and we seem to agree on a great many things. I think our opinions on dating are different, but she seems to understand my philosophy.
All in all, we spent about 11hours together, most of which we were just chatting and stuff.
it was a great day.
As for the question on everyone's minds, we didn't end up having a Conversation, not even a Opening Remarks. I wanted to. I wish I had kissed her on the cheek before I left, as I'd planned. But I didn't want to over-step my bounds, and until she is free, we're just friends.
Definitely the best day of my spring break.

Date: 2003-03-10 03:46 pm (UTC)Alas, there is still much to be endured. She's still with Fransisco, and though she and I both see faults in him (he's not very humorous, hasn't had the opportunity to become learned, is apt to be harsh at times, and has cultural habits and values, necessarily, which with her own) he seems to be a good guy. He treats her well, and he gets along very well with her family.
Even if the odds are that he will go back to Mexico, even if only because she's not ready to marry yet, Amanda is not an unpopular girl, and she knows it (but humbly so). She recognizes that there are alot of guys who are interested in her, and I am just one of the many -- plus, I'm a good 6 to 8 hours' drive away, where as the others are quite literally in her back yard.
And, finally, as wonderful as Amanda is, she's not interested in getting married now or necessarily in the next few years. This isn't a -bad thing- per se, but for a man who would like to settle down with a loving girl and start a family as soon as might happen, it's less-than-encouraging.
So, who knows. With any luck, maybe I'll yet find out if she's a good kisser. ^_~
Woo+ ^^...
