Yea, idk, I was looking for this tread.. I just wanted to post in it for no real reason..
As of right now, Bailey & I have been going out for almost 5 months officially, but we were going out before that, just one of those deals where we didn't want to start going out officially because we were afraid that it'd mess around with the play we were in.. we were the leads in our high school play "Once Upon A Mattress" (I was Prince Dauntless, she was Princess Winnefred).. so, the day after we had our last performance, we started going out officially
Our first date was a wierd one to say the least, we went to the movies to see "Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector".. yea, very classy movie, but the funny thing was that she ended up enjoying it more than I did (she's a big fan of comedies & action movies).. we've gone to the movies a lot together (Benchwarmers, Scary Movie 4, V For Vendetta, Da Vinci Code, Superman Returns, Pirates Of The Caribbean 2, X3, Garfield: A Tale Of Two Kitties, Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby, Over The Hedge.. and probably a few more I forgot)
It was wierd how we'd never met before this year, since we're friends with almost the same people.. like one of my best friends, Marissa, was best friends with Bailey too.. but then again, she's wierd like this and sometimes she makes efforts to keep her friends apart from one another so she can be the center of attention..
Also, we went to Knoebles (amusement park) earlier this summer & we went a whole week with her family to her grandmother's beach house on Fire Island (which was only the 2nd time I'd ever been to the beach in my life).. most of the time though, we'd sit around her house and watch tv or movies and cuddle on the couch.. since, of course, we're both 17 and don't get too much money from our jobs (she worked at Boyer's grocery store & I worked at Giant supermarket.. and PA has a very low minimum wage compared to the rest of the US)
One thing that was always funny was when we'd be in the mall or something, all these old people would walk by and give us these looks, you know, the aww.. look, they're so cute.. looks.
Main reason I wanted to post this is because right now I'm missing her, she had to leave for college the other day, and it's not like she went somewhere close, she was only accepted to 2 of the colleges she applied to (Vermont & Pittsburgh), so she went to Vermont, which is 7 hours away. To make things worse, my best friend went to the Nascar race in Tennessee this weekend, so I didn't really have anyone at home here to talk to
One of the times that was funny was prom night.. we went to dinner with a group of our friends, but she'd known most of them a little longer (they were all seniors this past year except for 2 that had graduated already).. they kind of ignored us all night, one of Bailey's friends kind of is like that if someone's not giving her all the attention, she ignores them and gets everyone else to too (not Marissa, she mainly just tries to keep her friends separated).. so, at the dinner only one other person was really talking to us.. then when we actually got to the prom, we ended up hanging out with my friends (the ones that Bailey really didn't know), and ended up having a great time, since my friends are crazy and we were doing all this crazy stuff.. of course I can't dance, but I tried my best for her.. and at least it didn't look too bad when we were slow dancing and everybody started watching us when we started dancing to footloose, since nobody else seemed to want to
Then we went back to her house overnight with our friend Tom & his girlfriend Hillary.. and of course, they fall asleep before midnight (we didn't even come home until 11:30).. so all we could do was sit up and watch The Princess Bride, which was showing on tv that night.. idk, just funny how they just fell asleep at a prom party which only involved 4 people
So, I'm posting this right now because I miss her at the moment, and I just had to type all this out somewhere.. I get to see her at the end of September when I go up with her family for her birthday (on Sept 29th & 30th & Oct 1st).. her b-day's the 29th, but it's a friday, and she'll have class anyway until around 3 or so
So, we've been talking on the phone every single night since Thursday, when she left. But the fact that there's been nobody here to talk to kind of sucks.. I did go to the mall yesterday with Marissa & Rachel, which did help... but I still really wish the end of the month would come already.. it's easier for her right now since she's trying to adjust to a new style of life at college, and last night she even got to see a comedy show, I forget who it was that she said it was, but they were on Comedy Central before
Tomorrow, it'll start becoming easier though, especially with my senior year of high school starting, and I'll be busy beyond belief.. since appearantly I chose the hardest schedule of anyone in my grade this year (4 AP classes - Physics, Calculus, Statistics, & US History)... and I have work every other day this week too
Oh, and just to give you guys an idea.. here's a pic of us, I don't think it's too big to post.. it's from dinner after her graduation
ok.. I think the pic worked this time
