whatever you do, dont do this...

i was hoping my first w.s. blog would be along the subject lines of a gig review, or at least perhaps something that was music related, seeing as it does play a huge part of any young persons life. unless you are from some secluded town out in, err, somewhere secluded..

but nay! such stories will have to wait, for this is the story of my night out to the cinema with a girl i dont particularly know or talked to much prior to meeting up.

there's this girl, see

and we used to go to the same secondary school. not together, we never even talked as far as i recall, but all the same we went to the same school. at the same time.

then facebook came along and ruined my life as i know it

i have not named names for identity's sake (and my own safety) but all the same, you will still get the gist of it without that piece of information. i think

in short, i was added as a friend, we exchanged the general "how are you and what are you up to these days" messages and that was that. as far as i was concerned.

then out of the blue i kept getting messages "how are you" "what you up to" "we should meet up soon" etc

i didnt reply.

then they just kept coming

then she got my mobile number

bad move. bad move

me being the nice person i am, i eventually responded. with the excuse that i'd been a tad busy etc etc but cool and yes it would be nice to have a school reunion or something

then it came

the phonecall

the phonecall of doom...

i didnt answer but a particularly long voicemail was left

she has a strange voice so i couldnt make out most of it.. but i did make out the bit where it said "just calling for a chat"... a chat? we'd never had a "chat" in our lives! why would we start now?

naturally i didnt respond

so i got more

and more messages

finally i gave in and said we should go out. just to shut her up. bad bad move.

so anyway, it all started off at the local cinema. we went to see a film that i cant really disclose the name of (seeing as this is the internet and all)
but obviously, for more than half the female population, this was a film viewing that you would miss jesus' own re-birth for. so it was quite an important film to see, some would say.

to be honest there's not much to it

we met up

said hi

stood in awkwardness for 90 minutes, yes 90

then out of the blue an old school friend spotted us

how embarrassing

she asked what we were doing there together and to be fair i didnt really answer the question cos i didnt know why!

i made most of the conversation

she just answered with "oh God"s and "yeah me too"s

then finally our film started and it was a good excuse not to talk for a while

that is really it

i took her to the bus stop and we parted ways

since then i have had countless texts & messages despite not answering most of them and i have developed quite a stalker in her

nice.

lesson of the day kids
if you didnt liaise with someone from your primary school, secondary school.. in fact, any educational institution.. no wait, it could include work... and any social opportunity.. ok lets leave it any social opportunity!
so, if you didnt talk to someone from some sort of social scenario, there's obviously a reason you didnt. DONT TRY TO MAKE AMENDS FOR THAT NOW!!!

oh how i wish i took my own advice

more lessons of the day to come, keep focused :)
