Good Bye Norma Jean

So, it's been almost a week (actually 5 days) since the night weeks of flirting culminated in. I've had moments of "Oh god, what if it's a one night stand?" but then I think of all the reasons not to worry. One, he and I share two of the same best friends and hang out with them on a regular basis. Two, you don't flirt with someone for that long, have conversations with the aforementioned best friends about how to go about making a move just for one night. And three, the intensity that night had wasn't just light-hearted fun. How often do people spend an hour and a half slowly building up to the ultimate goal? I've had one-night stands and casual fun, none of which have ever been that loaded before. Granted, maybe he's just an intense lover. But I think there's more. I guess we'll find out when we're both back in town together on Friday.

Anyway, so much has happened since that Sunday night. I've had 4 finals which I feel solid about. None of them were "A" quality, but I'm fine with that. I'm sure I got the results equitable to the work I put in studying, which was minimal. But I was preparing for far more important things (like finally spending the night!) like my recital! I gave it, and it was pretty decent. I wouldn't televise it or anything, but I'm glad with the results and so much more glad it's over.

And finally, I went to see Elton John today!!! We made a whole day trip out of it. My bestie, gal-pal, and myself. We went to the beach and laid out for a few hours which was wonderful. She and I did the hip-hop dance we learned in hip-hop class at the gym 2 weeks ago and people cheered! Then we packed up and went to The DOCK, the bar/restaurant right up the shore 5 steps, haha. Yay for happy hour! Then we were going to walk on the pier, but they charged admission?!? Yeah, so we just went to get dinner.

We stopped at a seafood place that I forget the name of now. It looked like a good hole-in-the-wall kinda place. But that was a facade! We got the menu and it was soooooo expensive, we got up and left immediately. I've never done that before. So, we crossed the street (very perilous) and went to Panda Chinese Buffet. Um, hello--shushi included? Yeah, that had to happen.

Then we went and saw Elton perform and it was the most amazing concert I've ever been to. For a 61 year old Brit, he is doing a hell of a job. He sounded great and put on an amazing performance. I'd describe it, but that's difficult. Let's just say it was 2.5 hours of awesome.
