My First 4 Day Weekend
Hooray, my first 4 day weekend. Man, I know its going to go by fast. Today dragged till the end of the day and my boss kept me there till 4pm. grrrr...... Just let me cut out early and make me happy damn it.
There must be something in the air this week. After going months with barely talking to anyone on the commute in or home, this week I met 2 new people. They seem to share the same route as me to and from Oakland. Ive noticed both of them in passing but this week it seems they felt like saying hi. Im glad they did.
The first was 2 days ago coming home on Bart/Muni. A guy who Ive seen while outside smoking, smiled at me a couple of times. We got of at Embarcadaro Station together and continued to cruise each other. Finally as we were getting off muni (not a lot of time to talk), he decided to introduce himself and say hi at least. He mentioned that he noticed me at work in Oakland, and it seems like we share the same route. His name is Greg and that was about all we had time to talk about.
The other guy, who's name is Do (its asian) spoke to me this morning. The other day when I got on Bart coming to work, he saw me sit down by the horizontal seats by the door. He sat across from me. I wasn’t sure then if he was cruising me or not. I mean he was cute, therefore why would he be checking me out. Anyway, this morning I get off Muni at Montgomery and head to Bart to catch the train in to work. I lean against the pole to read the newspaper, and he goes up on the other side of the pole and just leans there. Not a lot of eye contact. So we get on the train and there were limited seats. I sit in the first seat as he started to stand. I slid over (which I always do in order to let others sit down). He took that opportunity and sat next to me. Within seconds we were talking.
So his name is Do, he works at the VA pharmacy. He is originally from TX and has been here about 4 years. He has a good friend named David who graduated from Cornell University in NY and now lives here. He lives in the Noe/20th street area of the city and works out and plays tennis.
Interesting how much you can learn in about 15 minutes aye?
So I feel better than I have all week. No pain, no rash, no fever. Life seems to be going well. I dropped off my library book which was actually on time. Its funny, but even though all I have to do is get off the subway, and walk up the steps to the library, (its literally right there), and then get back on to continue home, it still seems like a chore when Im on my way home.
Either way, it worked out well. As I was walking up the hill to the house, there was Josh, walking toward me. We got to the apartment at the exact same time. He brought with him his friend Beverly from school, which was really nice to meet her. Hopefully we can do dinner sometime this weekend but for tonight I have laundry that deperately needs to be done. First off, the sheets need to be decontaminated after being sick. Especially to avoid getting Josh sick.
Tonight Josh cooked a fantastic dinner. Im not really sure what it consisted of exactly, but I know it was healthy (and it tasted good too). I believe it was some kind of pasta but everything is foreign to me. From what Im told it was very "heartwoody" which doesnt sound as bad as I had thought. It really was quite delicious.
So thats today. On to tomorrow......
PS: Happy Birthday Chris5
