so i found a debit card at work friday night and looked up the guy's name in the phone book. his name is jeff paris. i called him monday during the simpsons to let him know i had it, and when i got home from michael's and campus that night at 10:00, i listened to a very lengthy message from him. as jennifer and i made mosaic coasters from a kit we got from michael's (we're going to do the dining table with random tiles, so we thought we'd start small), we spent two of the three hours mapping out this man's life. it was so funny and heartbreaking, and after it all i had a huge crush on this fictional character.
"i can be chelsea paris. how cool would that be? and i can have a boy named seto paris, and all the people who are anti-france would like him."
"you should name one paris france paris." [jenn]
at noon after taking jennifer to work, i headed to the gregory gym where he has some wilderness something class, looking for this ficitional man who all i know for fact has short dark hair and six days worth of beard. i thought red hair (which, when not in a clip and in the sun, is red) and black square glasses was sufficient. my physical idea of him won over jennifer's; i knew when i saw him walk out that was him. he offered to give me $20, but i told him to keep it. he thanked me again profusely and shook my hand.
so there's my encounter with mr. paris. i spewed marriage ideas and the possibility of him being gay to cat while we were at t.g.i. friday's, but he was just confused and asked why i liked older guys. "because they're not jack asses* like everyone else under 30."
i asserted that he'll call one day; he was just self conscious because he was sweatty (which was okay). cat just laughed at me and said i was stupid.
last night jennifer and i realized this is how romantic comedies start. then i noted, "tomorrow when i give him his card, and he says, 'thanks, bye,' and i never see him again? that's when my life will kick back in."
this whole thing has gotten me excited because i firmly believe things happen for a reason. i'm so glad i could set his nerves at ease, having been victimized last year for over $500, but i honestly didn't anticipate anything more to happen than did. jennifer and i just have over-active imaginations fueled by her amanda quick novels.
i went to a party on saturday night at jason's new apartment and met a lot of random people. i learned their signs and still remember them, but i'll probably not see them again, with the exception of a new guy kyle at work. he's a leo. he was excessively drunk and holed up in the bathroom. when he fell into the bathtub, that was genuine entertainment.
sunday night virginia (who has my birthday yay), marjan, and michelle came over. the first two work at toys r us, and michelle's a friend of marjan's. we watched the restaurant, and virginia and i talked about how badly we hope we can get to rocco's before it closes. with the exception of virginia, we met cole at the forum at midnite. there was a guy singing named ernest rodriguez who was very pretty and sang very nicely. i voted for him, and the best guy, chris, didn't even make it. we were all distraught, but marjan also voted for ernest because he was cute.
jennifer, cole and myself went to denny's in search of ben, some boy who works there who looks like a distant cousin of beck. alas, he was not working. afterward we went to our house, and cole left around 5:00 a.m.
oh, friday we went to barton creek mall for 3.5 hours, initially to see nordstrom's. they have bras for $58 and panties for $30. i was speechless. jennifer and i bought a life-sized cardboard legolas from the second lotr. :melts: now we've got to get aragorn from the third, and we'll have one from each (frodo's from the first). i got a button with a little impish looking creature that says "evil," and another with a ray gun that says, "ban ray guns." i'm not sure why they appealed to me. i also got a C3PO pez dispenser. ;)
my family's coming this weekend, nana, papaw, mom, doug and sarah. how fun is that. hopefully i can get them to take jennifer and me to macaroni grill. man that'd be a $100 bill. gah their bread is heaven.
that was my oh-so-exciting weekend.

<3, chelsea.
