unexpected

this weekend brought some unexpected things.

firstly, i learned about drum core. a lot about drum core. and i didn't even hate it. it was fun- and entertaining!

secondly- i went to the new steven starr restaurant with mimi and jeff. el rey. it was very unassuming, and totally cool. and there wasn't even a wait! we walked right in at 7pm on a saturday. a nice surprise, and quite a difference from el vez. the food was amazing, as was my mango margarita. :) (which was followed by four rum and diet coke's- ending with a pleasantly drunk diana)

thirdly- i introduced colin to two of my friends (that would be the aforementioned mimi and jeff) and it went really well. everyone got along, we played some good rounds of erotic photo hunt. it was low key and fun, which is a really good saturday night in my book.

then today my dad surprised me by deciding that we needed to eat (as a family) at 3:30 in the afternoon. it being father's day and all, we had to do what he wanted. so off we went to a chinese restaurant. i mean, 3:30 doesn't even count as an early bird special. its before the early bird special! bizarre. but hey, the food was good. and my dad was happy. so there you go.

i think the most unexpected thing to happen this weekend was colin. (and actually i have no idea if colin reads this, if so- hey there colin). i've gone out with colin a few times in the past few weeks. he's always been fun and interesting and i've really enjoyed being around him. but i believe as of this weekend he is actually my...boyfriend. ? i mean, it's not a question. he is. it is just kind of a weird concept for me. and i feel really happy/weird/somewhat overwhelmed/mostly happy and smiling a lot about it. to people who may ask me about it in the coming days/weeks- i may be somewhat awkward talking about it- but take my word for it: this is a good thing. and i am really happy. and i think that was the most unexpected thing of all to happen this weekend. :)
