Then again...maybe not

Well, I had a good time last night. I met the guy at Baseline, we took the bus downtown and walked over to the pub. His roomate's parents were there. I guess he's really close with them because I got questioned and stared at quite a bit haha - not a problem though. We had a nice time - did a lot of chatting. After the show was over we talked more at the bar and then decided to leave. He asked where else I wanted to go and I suggested we pop over to Heart and Crown (also in the market) to see Ty and Dana who were playing that night. Unfortunately all we were able to do was wave through the window because it was too late to go in. He suggested we do something else but, because he didn't have any ideas and he seems ultra tired, I thought it would be best if we took the bus home. We both got off at baseline and caught a cab which went to his place and then mine. He was super cute, very nice, paid for the drinks and cab, and was very thoughtful. But, I don't really think we will be going on a 2nd date. Maybe, if we did, chemistry would grow...who knows. Anyway, I'm glad I went and I suppose that, like my mother likes to say, it was another "practice date" or "practice guy".

I'm actually thinking about taking back the idea I got the other day. While I am motivated to meet someone new and while I'm in a good place and open to a relationship, I think that focussing on myself right now would be a great idea. I had told myself I really wanted to get back into the gym and I haven't given it the best effort. I think I might just be waiting for Jennifer to get her membership (starts December 1st). I think I might adopt the new "whatever happens happens" kind of attitide while I work on meeting my goals.

Today I also went to the dentist to get my nightguard and to get my free whitening. It turns out that it's a do-it-yourself kit. It's not what I was expecting but it's quite neat - custom trays and everything. I guess I just expected to do a one-time whitening session at the dentist. This might be better though because I can use the 14 days worth or less and, down the road, I can buy a refill from the dentist's office for a pretty good price.

I also talked to my best friend Tina on the phone today. She moved to St John's in April and I've missed her like crazy ever since. My annual two-week visit in Newfoundland in July was nice - but I want to go back sooner than 7 months from now. I might try to go a little earlier to catch the icebergs in April/May/June. If flights aren't too expensive I might make it a long weekend and then go again for a couple of weeks when it gets warmer in July/August.

Tonight is Michelle's birthday night. I'm going to Heart & Crown on Preston for the dinner part but might take off after than to get home by bus and get some rest.

In the meantime, I think I'm going to take a little nap. I didn't get home until after 3am and I had to be at the dentist this morning so I'm feeling a little sleepy.

Talk to you soon,
