Yesterday shall be known as "the day Laura almost died at work - twice." So yeah, after getting followed by a cop ALL the way on the interstate yesterday, I get in and start working on receiving some new shipments, one of which being a bunch of boxes of short (1.5" x 12") threaded pipes we're using to install the new tv's and lcd projectors in the rooms. So I'm moving them in, and bam! the bottom of one of the boxes falls out and these iron pipes come crashing down on my foot. This, boys and girls, is why we don't wear anything but steel toed boots to work.
So after checking to make sure my toes were still intact, I continued on my day, and finally finished and went to lock up. The inner door to our storage office is tricky - you've gotta slam it to get it to close - so I turned of the lights, slammed the door, and crash! the glass pane came toppling out of the window on to me. It didn't break though - don't know how that works, but anyways...at that point of the day I decided that there was a conspiracy at work to kill me, and that the third time might be charm, so I left the rest of my heat shrinking until today and headed out early.
Plus, I mean, I wanted to get to Blacksburg, so it worked out for the best on all accounts.
So yeah, got into town, and me and Frankie headed over to India Garden, where they had one of the best dishes of Chicken Tikka Masala that I've had in a long time. Frankie seemed to really like it, being a spicy food fiend as well, so it was a great dinner. We stopped by the Cellar afterwards and shared a pitcher of Yuengling and chilled for a bit. I ran into Charles there too (when do I not run into Charles there, lol?) so that was nice - he's always good for a heart-warming hug. Once we finished our beer we headed back to his place and curled up and watched Love Actually, which happens to be one of his favorite movies, too.
So, yeah...it was a great night. So...I guess...maybe I should write more? Frankie is really sweet. He's 24, and a bit calmer than most of my friends, which is one of the qualities I really liked about Jacob. He's very respectful about a lot of things, which reminded me a lot of Jeremiah. I've told him about the kind of things I'm dealing with right now, and...though this may not make sense to anyone else...it seems that with some of the things he's dealing with in his life, that he's the best guy out of anyone that could possibly understand what I'm feeling right now. And then, before I left, he made me promise to call him to let him know I got home safe, which is exactly what Lance used to do.
I mean, I don't mean to dwell on the past, but there were just those few nuances that have appeared over the last few days that really reminded me of some of the best experiences I've had in my life, as well as new things that I was looking for - he's more of the targeted age that I think I need, lol, and just stable enough in his life, though not too set in his ways. He's been very honest and open about himself, which is how I am, so it's nice to be with someone who's comfortable enough to lay it all out of the line from the get go. Oh, and he's a damn good kisser.
So...are we dating? I dunno. I told him that I was trying to let things in my life settle down for awhile (and I really did mean it, too, Corrie, lol) But I think one of the better qualities about me is that I'm always willing to give love another try when the possibility presents itself. Maybe it is too soon. Anyone that has talked to me in the last few weeks knows that I wasn't looking and was really enjoying living life for me these days, but then this comes along. And I wonder...maybe it might be hard to start something new so soon, but it might be harder to live with the question of wondering what it might have been like if I hadn't tried. So I guess we'll see what happens over these next few days.
Anyways, off to go crawl around in some storage units to see what new equipment we got today...
