The First Date
Wednesday, October 24, 2007So, I know I've been talking about the "Fun with Facial Hair" post for like two weeks now, but right now I have a much more fun post to bring you slackers.
What could be more fun? Well, me getting to spend a weekend with Miss Intrigue!
First off, The Mom, if you're reading. The ticket was cheap, I'll save you the obligatory motherly lecture and agree with any and all consternation now. /hug
So yeah, the weekend!
As I mentioned in her intro, I met Miss Intrigue at a mutual friend's wedding just over a month ago. Since then, I'm not sure there's been a day since we exchanged at minimum one email, text message or phone call. The communication has been great! Especially if you ask our cell phone companies.
We decided that chit chat was great, but we wanted to hang out. So, we did! I searched around, used a few Flyer Miles and got together some plane tickets to get me out to visit her and her girlfriend. I flew out to Buffalo, NY and then we headed to Niagara Falls this past Friday. We spent about half the day strolling about the Falls on Saturday then worked our way back to the Rochester area visiting a few friends and places on the way. We hung around various parts of the Rochester Area until Monday afternoon when I came back home.
The flight over went as well as can be expected when travelling through Chicago. By that I mean any less than an hour delay in your flight is awesome. I managed to get on a slightly earlier flight in to Buffalo and met up with Ms. I and her girlfriend Spott about 11pm. We found some food at a place called Ming's where they apparently think a whiskey diet means adding water to the whiskey. After that we found the hotel and settled in. We chit chatted for a while and at one point Ms I and I had a little adventure finding ice. During the trip, while innocent, we definitely found the chemistry we thought we'd have was most definitely there.
On Saturday, we got up and found some breakfast then headed out to see Niagara Falls. I have to say I was most definitely amazed. Nature can do some phenomenal things and that's most certainly one of them. I did take a bunch of pictures and will toss them up on the AV Edition. Even with the amazing energy of the falls, there were other major vibes in the air: The chemistry of Intrigue and me, and also the odd feelings in the air with Spott and Me. I don't think there's much denying it'll always be a strange situation when a guy and girl who have an absurdly good connection and a high amount of mutual interest are in the presence of even the most accepting of significant others. Luckily we fared very well for the weekend!
After strolling around the Falls for a while we headed out and started to make our way toward the Rochester area. We stopped off so the girls could meet up for a rescheduled chiropractor appointment and then had some lunch. At Fuddruckers it was decided we'd have to sit in a booth so, in the words of Ms. I, she could "molest my leg at will..." Yeah, it's that kind of chemistry. :O)
After lunch we did a little shopping and then met up with MI's friend Genessa. MI may have found a prospective new computer and I got to meet the girl who has apparently dubbed me "Man Candy." For this I shall have to find some sort of retribution. Though that tends to take too much effort, so... meh. ;O)
The rest of the weekend kind of blurs together due to lack of sleep, doing lots of stuff in little time, and well, hormonal type chemicals clouding the brain. This being the case I'll hit the highlights!
Spott and I got to chat quite a good bit and got to know each other better. We're both fans of World of Warcraft so we had fun showing off our characters and chatting about that. In all it was a pretty big relief that we got along quite well.
At one point we went bowling, Miss I kicked my butt the first two games, but I managed to come back and even the score with the last two games :O)We did a little more shopping, picked up some Eddie Izzard on DVD and headed back home.
One of the major highlights to the weekend we'll call the non-nap. Miss I and I fully intended for it to be a nap... but yeah, that really didn't happen... at all. It ended up being rather amazing, and not just due to it being privy to our first kiss. While not going as far as you pervs are probably thinking, it definitely showed our chemistry was most certainly not imagined.
While watching Eddie Izzard we dug into some super tasty pizza from Taste of Napa, a tiny little pizza joint that puts out some great woodfire pizza. Gotta love Eddie Izzard "Cake or Death? 'uhh cake please' Sorry, we're fresh out, we only had three bits and didn't expect such a rush!" After Eddie we tossed in The Fifth Element, but that was eventually cut short by Miss I when she decided it was time to cut out the nervous tension with Spott and I.
The resulting agreement ended up with Miss Intrigue and I getting some time to ourselves. The chemistry went off the charts and I'm sure if there had been thermometers around they would have died explosive deaths. That time, I think I can only describe as fantastically ferally fun. I'll leave the rest to your imaginations ;O) Monday morning proved said chemistry was not a one time deal though...
In all the weekend was very much fun. I was very glad to have met Spott and gotten to know her. The best part of the weekend may have come at the end when I found out Spott not only liked me, but trusted me with Miss Intrigue which is a pretty huge deal. You will most definitely be hearing more about Miss Intrigue in the future...
As for Miss I herself, I was plainly amazed by us together over the weekend. You may not know this about the Chief, but I'm a big believer in energies of nature. Miss I and not only have an incredible chemistry down to the most basic, but we seem to connect levels well beyond just mentally. Getting to spend some time together was simply amazing. I can't think back to a time looked forward to seeing where things would go more.
Anyway, here's what I'm sure you're all waiting for! Pictures!

Spott, Miss Intrigue and I:
The next plan of action is to start finding a time that her and Spott can come visit the Cities, and that hopefully comes soon!

Delmer - Eddie Izzard friggin rocks. "Did I leave the stove on?"
OzzyC - Yeah, the Falls were indeed gorgeous, I'll definitely have to return when it's nice and warm so we can go play in the mist. And so far, the feeling is quite mutual and it feels great!
