Miss Intrigue
Tuesday, September 25, 2007So yeah, I really need to post more often. Odds are this one is going to get fairly long again since I had a nice, fun, busy weekend. The definite highlight of the weekend was making a new friend, who happens to be a very fun cute girl. Of course, the best will be saved for last.
Anyway the weekend started a little early with a visit from the True OG herself, Orientation Girl. She was in town again doing some recruiting and as per usual we hit up Stub and Herbs and worked off a little bit more of the shot list. To start, we had a Prairie Fire. Name sounds bad eh? Yeah well, the ingredients suck ass too. Tequila + Tobasco Sauce = Torture in a shot glass. We eventually finished off 4 more shots from the list effectively bringing us into single digits left. For those of you keeping track, of the 101 shots on the list, we now have ONLY 6 left. I can't wait till OG comes back to town on Oct 12th so we can finish off the last 6. We're so making Stub's give us shirts, or lovins, or something. Yeah. Six years of slacking finally coming to an end... It shall be fun!!
So Friday rolled around and I found out a friend of mine for years back was in town getting married. they're keeping it a small affair, since it was being held in a garden area of the Como Conservatory. At the last minute G-Spot calls and tells me there's room and that I should come. So I haul ass home from work, and frenetically find my suit and get to the wedding like 5 minutes before it started. The ceremony was short, sweet and very pretty in the Japanese Sunken Garden. We mosied on over to a different area of the conservatory for the reception, where there was some nummy food, and even better company. It's here that I met Miss Intrigue. More on her later (Hah! keep slackin, the good stuff will come.) They had an open bar, which any good slacker can fully appreciate. In the off chance the Chief here ever does get married, it will definitely include an open bar. A good deal was definitely had by all and it was really great to reconnect with a friend I hadn't seen in years!
Saturday was off to Ren Fest. I met up with Conservative Girl and her fam, and we were also supposed to meet up with G-spot, her boyfriend and also the wedding party from the night before. We managed to find G and her guy, but never could track down the wedding party. Sad. The highlight of the day though, was that like last year, CG's fam brought their puppy! And to top last year on the way up the got a NEW puppy as well. Not only was the ever cute Squirt there, but the new puppy Pepper (aka Dr. Pepper) was entirely adorable. they even had fun little costumes, Squirt had fully ironic Angel wings and Pepper had a little jester's collar.
Tell me those puppies aren't awesomely cute. I spent much of the day carrying pepper since the whole thousands of people around thing was a little overwhelming for her. I could rarely walk more than about 50 feet without someone wanting to pet her. It actually was CG's intent to bring the puppies to I could hopefully parlay then into picking up a girl, but that was unsuccessful. part of that may have also been due to the fact my mind tended to wander back to my new friend from the previous night, but who knows. In all it was a fun day.
The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing and doing a very large amount of chatting with Miss Intrigue. Ok, Ok. I'll stop with the teasing and tell you slackers about her! So at the wedding reception, G-spot's boyfriend and I are milling about chatting. Since I had been a last minute invite I was not included in the assigned seating and has to scope out which tables had available room. At some point G's BF (I can't think of a good name for him yet) and I start talking with two cute persons of the female variety about the hors d'oeuvers. As we talked I found one of them increasingly interesting. When I found out there was room at her table I made sure to stake my claim to a spot. We basically became surrogate dates for the night from there on out. We continued talking basically the whole night, during dinner, even though there were 5 other people at the table, I quite often forgot they were there in the midst of convo. For some reason our personalities seemed to click absurdly well. We hung out the entire reception and when it all concluded I gave her a ride to her hotel.
The evening could very well have ended there, however it did not. Since we had exchanged info, emails, IM, Phone, websites (yeah, we went WELL beyond the typical digits on a napkin deal) some text messaging ensued. At first it was innocent, but increasingly it became, well, flirtatious may be an understatement. Like 20,000 leagues under. Propriety however reigned, and it was left to simply flirting.
Hold the presses! Chief Slacker, Propriety, what, you say?? This is where things get interestingly complicated. In the course of the evening it was discovered that Ms.I has a significant other. Ack! You say? Not quite yet. The situation is quite unique, but will be kept personal until otherwise allowed. However, the situation most definitely does not preclude friendship, or even much more. Keeping that perspective we were good little kiddies that night. Since Friday night though, we have kept in pretty much constant communication.
For those of you who keep track of my crazy relationships, you're asking what other issues are there aren't you. Yeah, you know who you are. Don't lie! So far, there's really only one: distance. Me = Twin Cities, MN; Ms.I = Rochesterish, NY. Hi, half a country. Boo.
For most previous females I've met usually that would end up being a deal breaker. Oddly, not yet for this one and I'm not sure why. I named her Miss Intrigue over a good number of other possible names mostly for that reason. She interests and intrigues me in a way, really, not many if any have. She's not really my typical type, but from when we first started talking at the reception, there was most definitely an attraction. Usually with girls I'm attracted to, my typically uncanny knack for reading people and personalities gets cloudy. Such is not the case with her. Even her significant other situation, which we she was quite worried to discuss, I had read, assumed and understood before it was discuss. It's an absurdly odd connection thus far. And it's one I'm quite certain you all will be hearing more about.
So, now for something I'm sure you're all waiting for. All three of you. Yes you. I now introduce Miss Intrigue:
Allright, I'm off, keep on slackin!

Well, when I first met the woman who would become my wife, she was dating someone else. So, these things frequently can work out for the better. :)
