I'm a freaky girl

So, here goes another attempt to make a massive posting, catching everything up. I'm still debating whether to try to tackle things categorically or chronologically. Each path has its own benefits and drawbacks. I find it easier to think categorically most of the time, so I'm going to start with that. We'll see how it goes from there.

Let's see... it's tough to figure out where to start, which is one of the areas that chronologically has a decided advantage. In fact, I think it has enough of one that I'm going to switch to chronologically, with the occasional switch to categorically when it's warranted.

Looking back... it's been a while. I've had little posts here and there, but they've been largely insubstantial. I'll start with the Monday Ambra and I planned on going out together. This was like, late April. It was something fairly 'normal' - out to dinner, and V for Vendetta, which she hadn't seen yet. It's my plan to make sure everyone cool has seen that movie. I came close, but failed on one count. Well, for now, but I'm sure I can remedy it, given time. So yeah, we took Sunday night paperwork like always, then she crashed over here, like always. We crashed, like always. It's when we woke up that things weren't like they always were.

We kissed.

Not really.

But it would have been weird if we did.

There was a fire.

I'm serious about that part.

We woke up to a really, really loud knocking on the door. I went and answered it, and there was no one there. The door across the way was open too, and the guy pokes his head out and says something to the effect of "The lady was going around, telling everyone there was a fire and they should get out." So Ambra and I got up and went and sat in the grass towards the complex. Sure enough, there was a fire. Fire trucks, firemen, the whole fire-people thing. It seemed very well contained to the apartment at the very end of our building, so we eventually just went back into the apartment and commenced chilling, as it seemed neither one of us was really going to be able to go back to sleep. Sergio called at one point, at Gina's behest, to make sure we were okay. I would later learn she had told one of the office staff that one or more of her managers was in there, and that they had to knock extra-loud, since I would sleep through just about anything. But yeah, Sergio talked in that way he does when something is being really weird - "Gina wanted me to call you and make sure you were okay, something about a fire." I assured him we were fine, and that was that. Ambra received a call not too long afterwards, from Jess. Turned out she wasn't feeling very well at all, and needed Ambra to come in for her. That kind of shot our plans down, since Ambra had to go in and all. I ended up going and picking up Amplitude (which is an AWESOME game), and a few books from Half Price Books.

The only bright spot was that Jess agreed to come in for Ambra on Wednesday, since she had come in for her on Monday. So yeah, we went and had our little date-thing. Her choice for dinner was Outback, which turned out really well. Awesome blossom appetizer, always good. We both enjoyed our meal. At one point, I made eye contact with one of the people at the table of six to our right. That person was Murph, our owner. I mean, the owner of all the San Antonio, San Marcos, and Seguin Domino's. He was with Eileen, Walter, Stan, Rex, and Mike. It was... kinda weird. They didn't come over and talk, we didn't go over and talk, nothing. They did, however, end up picking up our tab, which was *very* nice of him, and unexpected. Let's see... V for Vendetta after that, which was AWESOME. Nothing notable after that.

Then, it's kind of a blur. Not much more I can say on the Ambra front. We haven't hung out a whole lot lately; she's been having to work a lot, and our schedules haven't matched up nicely like they did for a while. I did talk to her about the whole "I had been thinking about it, I just didn't want to say anything 'cause I didn't want to be tease' thing that she had said one Sunday evening. It may have even been that Sunday, right after we ate out. Not sure. But yeah, that's what she said, which was interesting. I mean, the chances of us hooking up are, well, fairly small. In a lot of ways, I think we'd be a good couple, but there are enough points of contention that it'd be interesting to see if things work out. I mean, hell, I'm in the middle of moving in with her, which is pretty cool. So yeah.

So, we'll come back to Ambra in a little bit. On to Lilie. Good stuff. So, quick recap - found out she was dating [], I kind of mis-reacted.
