Just like Vince Vaughn

In trying to forget about Bran, I went out with another cute, tall lad named, Sam. Sam is 32, 6'4 and has kind of a retro hipster look to him that's almost supermodel-y. But at the same time, he's REALLY Midwest. From some small town with like 10,000 people. He's got the accent, the same best friends since he was 5, the love of the Bears etc etc. 
He talks a lot about how fun and crazy he is, about how he is the Vince Vaughn of weddings, how he is a great dancer, but sitting there with him, I didn't see it. I'm not sure if he made me genuinely laugh even one time. I kept hearing myself fake laugh. And kept thinking about what a great time I have with that asshole Bran. I can't say Bran anymore without inserting "that asshole" in front. Anyway, I would still go out with Sam again, but think I may have pushed him away when I wouldn't let him walk me home. However we did text a little back and forth this weekend.
I went to Riot Fest this weekend which is a 3 day punk festival in Chicago. I lamented how TAB and I were supposed to meet up for that, but I still had blast and was transported back to high school when I used to go to punk shows at the Milk Bar constantly.
Things are getting better with the roomie, although she's not that neat and things still annoy me and I spend much more time in my bedroom than I used to.
This is just a short catch- up as I'm procrastinating reading my book club book for our meeting tomorrow even though there is no way I'm going to finish it in time. Right now it's feeling like homework I can't bring myself to do.
Til next time...!

  2. I am! I would totally go out with Sam again, I just don't know if he is going to ask me. He seems like he needs more encouragement. He told me he was having a great time on our date and wanted to see me again. And I agreed, but, again, he wanted to walk me home and I wanted to walk to the late night taco place without him knowing. So I think that put him off. I sent him a pic of this band he likes that I saw at Riot Fest and we chatted back and forth about it, and he still seemed interested but I don't know, No future dates planned! Trust me, Nadine, I would give anything to be normal, to find a normal guy and settle down and I don't know why I can't make that happen. Maybe deep down I don't think normal is good enough, or maybe I don't think I deserve normal. I just want to be happy and to be in love again.

    1. I know there is nothing wrong with that! I LIKE that! I'm just saying based on his image alone, I wasn't expecting that. I love small town values!

  4. Next time tell him he can walk you home only if he'll first swing by the taco place with you. If he doesn't love the real you he's not worth it anyway. Who wouldn't want tacos after a long night of drinking? Also go dancing with him, maybe he is really great.

    Love, Jennifer

    ps Bran sucks

    1. Well considering we had already had tacos for dinner, I felt like kind of a pig having 3 more just a few hours later haha. I'd love to go dancing with him, he just has to ask me!
