I know, I know...

I know I promised a big long post about some interesting things but since one of those things was taken away from me, I don't feel like posting about it right now. It's actually most of the way written.

Things have been... "advancing" with my gypsy boy. After getting atrociously drunk at the staff party (1 pint of Fireball Whiskey, through a straw, in less than 2 hours), and having some fun with him (he had 3 beer and Shay insists he was "acting more drunk than he actually was to make you feel better"), including shoulder bumping and waist hugging, I decided to pop by the next day because I knew he was working and wanted to say hello and apologize for any untoward behaviour and ask him out for Friday (tonight). What ended up happening was that he asked me to go on the wagon with him, so I did, and ended up being there for nearly two hours, while I worked up the courage to make my move. Finally, when I could not stay a second longer because I was missing Deacon's birthday party, I got off and told him I would really like to see him outside of work sometime and gave him my phone number. He made eye contact, took the number and said "Okay".

The next day, when I was in work, a girl who we both know and who is buying a horse from him came to me saying that she had just been out on the wagon with him and he was asking about me. Definitely cool, I expected a call within the week because of that. Still no call, but she is going back and forth, filling me in on what is going on inside of his head, so that is cool. She said he described his perfect woman and that is pretty much me, and she has been making lots of comments about how I would be a good fit for him and he hasn't been denying it. He did say he wanted to get to know me better around site, though, which is frustrating because I am literally visiting him as often as possible, short of coming in on my days off when I have no reason to be there. Anyways, it has made me realize that I need to be diligent and keep working away at it. He has also said he is a commitment phobe, which - in my opinion, it's important to recognize your character flaws so you can begin to work on them.

I feel excited, and like there is promise out there. :)

HOPE! For the future. Said girl (K), also gave me his phone number and told ME to call HIM and also said she is pretty sure he likes me at least a little.
