Life is kinda funny sometimes...

It is the weird and random occurrences in life that make it sweet and the new experiences that add spice to an otherwise bland existence. This past week has thrown several of those odd little events right in my unsuspecting innocent little face. I do not remember the last time I have had such an entertaining week!

On Saturday, at my cousin's wedding reception I did something most appalling. I drank beer. That's right innocent naive little me had her first alcoholic beverage. I didn't drink very much at all, in fact it didn't even give me the slightest buzz. It wasn't very good either. I was actually quite disappointed in it's taste. I was expecting something a little stronger, but this was like drinking colored soda water. However my Uncle Tom told me that I should drink an entire bottle of dark beer and it would taste better than my measly thimble full of lukewarm Bud Light. By the by, my plot to catch the bouquet failed. My cousin (the bride's sister...hmmmmm sounds fishy to me too, the toss was probably rigged) caught the bouquet. However all hope is not lost. On Thursday night something happened to me that gave me renewed encouragement that I will not end up being an old maid with 53 cats and 9 parrots!! For the very first time, I was asked out on a date. I said no, but that's not the point. The point is that a nice guy thought I was something special. I don't think that I handled the situation very well at all. I was so incredibly surprised and had no previous experiences to draw upon in my time of need that I just repeated myself over and over again. It was so weird, random, and just well, weird, really weird! It was also disappointing in a way. When a girl is "asked out" for the first time, she really wants it to be someone that she really wants to ask her. It looks as though I have that experience yet to come. I do not think that I will handle it very gracefully when (and if) it comes because (shhhhh don't tell) guys scare me. On that note I need to go to bed because I working a double tomorrow and am already going to want to shoot myself in the morning!!
