Boys

I knew I would eventually have to talk about this...

Boys.

I have a lot of them in my life right now.

Over spring break I started talking to Josh. He's great and fun, but he didn't want a relationship. That's fine, whatever, so I kept looking.

Scot my friend/should-have-been-boyfriend-since-I-was-in-9th-grade came into town. We always hold hands when we're together anyway, but this time we made out a few times.

Then I went to Arizona and didn't see a boy my age for like a week and a half, which was actually pretty okay, since I was sick and felt like shit.

I got back to Manhattan Sunday night pretty late. Monday night, Laura, John and I decided to go out to eat to celebrate us reuniting. :) So we called some of John's army friends to come out and hang with us. To protect the identities of the innocent, I'll refer to them in only letters. So M and TJ come out to Applebees to eat. It was fun, but I looked like crap (hair in pony tail and wearing my "I love Garbo, not Steve" shirt). Afterwards, we go back to my house and watch some Bill Cosby stand up and had a knock down drag out fight over me and Laura's phones. Apparently the boys thought we were texting about them. We were. Whoops. Luckily, they didn't find anything out.

So for the next week we hang with army boys. M and TJ nearly every time, but Laura and I started going to the boy's intermural softball games, so I met D, C (who's from Forks, WA!), T, and a bunch of other guys. I love all my army boys. For real.

Anyway, TJ and I start flirting. That was fun. Let me put it out there that TJ is a slut. I knew this going into it, so no big deal. I don't think that he realized that I knew this. He's not the brightest crayon in the box. So anyway, yeah. That happened.

Thursday night there was a tornado warning or something, so Amanda, Abby, TJ, M, D, John, Laura and Sony (their cat that wishes to eat my soul) showed up at my place. This lead to an interesting night, including playing Boxers or Briefs (best game ever), and watching Monsters Inc. and the Ring. I fought against watching the Ring, as my room flooded... that'll be another post... So we watch it and everyone goes to sleep, M and D upstairs on the futons, and TJ in my room. Bad call? Probably, but it was okay.

Friday... This is where the bad decisions come in. John, Laura, me, M, TJ, and a bunch more army boys go out to Buffalo Wild Wings for some food. We then headed over to O'Malleys. I downed two UV Blue and sprite's in about 5 minutes. Bad call Mandi. Then some guy in the group who I don't know made me drink something called a flaming Dr. Pepper. Big mistake. I was hardcore dizzy by the time I was half done with that drink. Dang. So M and I are drunk-ish and end up singing Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy loudly at Rustys. Eventually we go back to Laura and John's to watch Dane Cook. I fall asleep immediately on TJ. A few hours later I'm woken up by TJ telling me that we were going to sleep in the office. This is a bad idea. I know, I know. Anyway, shit happened and I got no sleep.

After that, TJ didn't talk to me anymore. Like at all. Which wasn't awkward or anything....

So after a week we talk. He's an idiot. Laura told me he had a new girl, and I'm happy for him (which he doesn't believe). So he told me about her. They met at a house party and ended up having sex on the front lawn of the house. Oh yeah, and I was upset about that one...

Wow. I dodged a bullet there. It's wonderful. I'm ecstatic. For real.

And now maybe there's a new guy. How exciting. :)
