"I was just thinking how we don't have a song"

Well, this has been quite the interesting past two days. Yesterday Nate and I were planning on going to a bar last night to get drinks. Well, him being the typical him, never responded back about where we were going to meet. Sigh. Then later that night he sent me a text saying sorry I never answered but hey, I'm going to lunch with [insert other friend] and you should come too. So, today I finally saw him after... maybe a year. At first thought our plan was to meet at noon at a restaurant but then we didn't hear from the other friend and he told me we should just hang out after his gig tomorrow night. Well dummy, I already told you I'm going out of town!! And, I had already gotten dressed up all nice AND did my hair. So, there was no way I was not going to see him. Luckily it did work out. After lunch we went down to a lake in my city to "jam". Although his definition of "jam" is listening to him sing and play guitar. It was fun, at least we spent time together. But, it was getting reaaaalllly hot. He had to leave anyway to see some relatives so that's when the fun ended. He said he'd "maybe" see me tonight but we alllll know what that means. 


So, that's it for now... perhaps another entry later...


Here's to a night day in another city...

Short Update

Well, today Nate is in town. Anyone want to take bets that he will blow me off again? He's staying for a while, but Thursday I'm headed out west (to my least favorite state) to visit a relative. Which I am really excited about though. I'm not much of a west coast girl. I prefer the east. 


here is the short conversion I had with Nate yesterday:


me: So are we going to hang out when you're here?
nate: if you want!
[[in my head]]: no, stupid I was asking for the hell of it. sarc / Hello, YES. 
me: yeah def
-end of convo-

seriously...?


todays entry is just a short one. please feel free to leave comments!

Carrie Bradshaw, You are NO Help

I got to thinking last night when I was watching SATC, what did the guys think when Carrie wrote about them in her newspaper column? I've watched every episode and really I can't remember ever her talking about whatever happened. Did they hate it? Were they flattered?


I began to think about this because, what if Nate or any of the other guys stumbled across this and realized that I was talking about them. Flattered? Or freaked? So if any of you guys that I have mentioned accidently have stumbled across this, YOU SHOULD BE FLATTERED. (IMO). So here's the truth. And maybe now you can understand what a women's mind thinks. You are the only men (except the gay guys, love y'all!) who I have held interest in. Nate, you are the closest. I've always considered you a really close friend, but let me tell you, you sure as hell seem to blur the line sometimes. 


So thanks Carrie, for never, ever showing us what the men thought. Mr. Big? Aiden? I'd like to know, thanks.


To close this evening's blog, I leave you this SATC quote, "When men attempt bold gestures, generally it's considered romantic. When women do it, it's often considered desperate or psycho".

"I'm going to Jackson", "See if I care"

To all readers: there was one little thing I forgot to mention about Nate and the possibility going to see him, in which I got a lame excuse. He asked me to sing a duet(s) with him because he was playing a show that night. I got really, REALLY excited about that because I haven't sung any country on stage before. Of course though, the only duet I could think of us doing is "Jackson" ( by Johnny Cash and June Carter). And even if that was the only song I didn't mind at all. So now you see why I was very disappointed. 


Whenever I'm back home and I see my old friends they always ask, "Blair, are you still friends with Nate?" Why yes friends, I still am. They think he's a real jerk for never seeing me. I get their point, but they also don't ever talk to him. As I had mentioned before, we really have never ran in the same circles so I would have no reason to see him when he was back in town. (Except obviously I want to). 


There was this one time where I did get really mad, because he did blow me off.  He was in town and I said you know, "hey lets hang out!" and I think he said he couldn't because he was with family, or something that did not include hanging out with friends. So, whatever. I decided to go to dinner with another friend. Funny how things work out. He just happened to be at the same restaurant with some friends. Wow. So I text him and say, "hey Nate, turn around. I can see you". Yeah that sounds creepy but come on, seriously? Stop with the excuses! He finally sees that he saw me and does nothing. Whatever. Boys suck. 


that's all for tonight.

Crazy Confusion and the "Emo" Boy

I have been computer-less for a few days and it has been KILLING me. And now, I finally have it back. Well... it looks as if I won't be seeing Nate. His lame excuse was that he "forgot" he had work on Friday. Even though I planned on asking off I don't see why he couldn't do the same. Oh well. He'll be here in town on Tuesday. Maybe, hah, MAYBE I'll see him. I just don't get him these days. 


So... that new guy. David. What a laugh. Listen, I'm a really nice person. I usually give every guy a chance that seems interested in me. We went to the same high school (what is it with high school guys trying to get in touch with me?) and we were never really friends. We just had a few mutual friends. But this guy, well, lets just say he wants to play "Anthony Wiener". He says, "oh just send a picture to me in what you're wearing. here's one of me". Picture sent: EMO KID. or hipster. Which ever you prefer. He says, "Oh please please, just send me one of you." Sorry pal, not interested. I told him to just facebook stalk me if he was interested in seeing what I look like. He said it's "creepy" to do that. Yeah, whatever. Isn't facebook for creeping anyway? I decided, welp, I've lost all interest. 


I decide to text Nate for some advice because I really don't want to be rude and let this guy down. He said to tell him I'm just not that into him. I think that is really blunt and I'm not mean! He then said I should lie and say I'm already talking to someone else. I just said I would resort to ignoring him. I don't think he gets the hint. My phone keeps blowing up. So, we'll see how that turns out...


In other news, too many friends who are YOUNG and in their early 20's keep getting engaged. Seriously? Your life has just begun. I've decided I probably won't get married until late 20's and maybe 30. Nate and I made a deal that if we weren't married by then we would just marry each other. Maybe he'll have a stellar job by then! Or maybe me... 


anyway, that's all I have for tonight today. 


Here's to a day in another city.

Springtime for Me in the South

Ahhhh spring time. The sun is shining, the air feels fresh, and of course, crawfish boils. This spring has been, well somewhat eventful and somewhat not eventful whatsoever. Nate. oh Nate. We really didn't keep in touch over spring. We talked about music, summer plans, nothing to get excited over. (Well actually there was a bit of flirtation, but nothing to write home about).  Wait I lied! He was watching [insert film] and how I reminded him of [insert really amazing, gorgeous actress]. I was really flattered! 


Unfortunately, I was amongst the people who were hit hard from the storms that blew over the south. It was scary, shocking, devastating and everything in between. The storm hit my city really bad that my power was out in my apartment for several days. I eventually just headed back to my home because it was not livable. I left all of my friends on short notice and it was hard. But I know this was really, really hard on my family. I made it out alive (obviously) and I'm so blessed that nothing happened to me or any of my friends. 


So here we go back at home: Most of my friends had gotten in touch with me that were from high school or friends that I didn't go to school with to ask if I was okay. But, to my surprise NOTHING from Nate. Zip. Nadda. Nothing. I finally think, well, I'm just going to text him to see what he says. I was trying to be all cute and say "Hey, I was wondering if you were ever going to ask if I got blown away like Dorothy!" His reply was 1) I didn't know it was that bad 2) I saw on FB that you were okay. 
Well thanks, that's great, but really? REALLY!? You couldn't have taken just a few minutes to make sure I'm really okay? *Sigh*


Well, I think he did feel bad that he never asked how I was. Then randomly out of nowhere- Nate: hey when are you waking up tomorrow? 
me: huh? 
nate: tomorrow 
me: uh 10, why? 
nate: see, I have this test tomorrow and I was hoping you would be a doll and wake me up in the morning to make sure I'm up. 
me: you're too funny. are you out partying or something?
nate:  nope, just studying
me: haha, well I feel bad for you since my finals were cancelled
nate: so would you? :)


Yes, I did. I gave in. So funny that after I gave him his "wake up call" I just happened to need one the next day. Oh, he was a "doll" and called me in the morning. This went on for a few days. It was actually really cute!


So over the past few weeks he has been bugging me to come down and visit him. Listen, I'm dying to. Just currently I don't have time with a job. Then finally he asks me to come down in a few weeks. It was the perfect timing so I said yes. OH. But oh. He then says "Oh actually, I have work that day...Bad timing?" I'm sorry bad timing? I asked for that day off. You can't? He finally says, oh well I guess I'll ask tomorrow at work if I can. YEAH. You better. For someone who keeps bugging me to visit him, you would think he would get pretty excited when I could finally come down to visit. Who knows. Updates to come.


In the mean time... I had a random guy friend from high school, who I'd really call just a mutual friend decided to facebook message me... oh David...
