You know, when you're interested in a new person, and flirting, and fawning, and falling all over yourself to make them like you, it's a little like being under duress. You sometimes say things or agree to things you wouldn't otherwise say or agree to. It's okay, I'll forgive you for these little fibs:
"I just like checking other things out and think it'd be fun to go with you [to church]! " & "I wouldn't be opposed to going to church with you."
"Karaoke sounds like a blast. I sense a duet coming on? How about
"Endless Love" by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie? I might have good
enough range to sing either part, so I'll let you choose which one you
want!!"
"I actually enjoy cutting the grass"
"I love giving back massages
(even the non-sexual ones!)"
"If you ever travel to Decatur, we'll have to check out the FLW houses there"
"I promised myself that I would get another tattoo after I passed the bar and I'm coming up on the two year anniversary of that."
"You needn't worry about scaring me away by talking about
dreams of weddings.I'm not the kind of
guy who freaks out about these things."
I, on the other hand, told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. In fact, I even predicted the future a few times. Like this little statement:
"I may not ride bikes like you, but I'll be there to pick the pebbles and
dirt out of your gashes when you crash, antiseptic and bandage you up,
and then kiss you until you're all better."
Adrienne agreed that "Corey trying to get in Sarah's pants" is entertaining. I read her a couple of the big whoppers. I'll let it slide though, because you mostly just said over and over how cute I was. Hopefully you still feel that way!
I was trying to come up with something to send you with on your trip, but I couldn't think of much that you wouldn't already have with you that you might like. So I figured I would revive this blog for while you're gone and give you something to read each evening when you're back on shore.
Then, I had to think of things to write about, which was an even bigger challenge, so I've decided just to plagiarize. I came across all our old woo-ing emails earlier this week, so I'll revive a new one each day (with commentary) in an attempt to illustrate just how we got to 4.5 years, anyway. I will probably also post photos of the yard to prove to you I haven't killed all the flowers, and dog/baby pictures, too.
So here we go: Day One.
Apparently I tried to rename you Jack.
--If you could pick my name, what would you pick? Corey's
a good name, but it'd be helpful it were not the same as my last
roommate. Matt is definitely out of the question because I have way too
many of those as it is. Alan, Anthony, Ben, Bill, Bob, Brad, Brandon,
Aaron, Chris, Coque, Curtis, Craig, Colin, Charlie, Dan, Dave, David,
Don, Eric, Ferdy, Frank, Garret, Greg, James, Jim, John, Jon, Joe, JP,
Ken, Mike, Nathan, Nick, Oliver, Paul, Pete, Rick, Russell, Ryan, Sean,
Scott, Sam, Steven, Todd, Tom, Trevor, Vic, Wayne, Wyatt and Zak are all
taken too. I don't think you look like an Aidan or Kendrick or any of
those "new" types of names parents are giving their children now. Maybe
Jack. I've always liked the name Jack.
"Corey" has grown on me though, so I suppose you can stick with it.
Also in this email was an itinerary for a theoretical someday future trip to Alaska. Let's see how I did, eh?
Drive out to Girdwood to Alyeska (tram up to the top of the mountain)
Beluga Point
Potter's Marsh
Double Muskey
Portage Glacier (visitor's center with the moose, bear and giant mosquito)
Look for moose along the side of the highway
Walking tour of downtown
Trivia night
at Humpy's
Drink a
bunch of tasty beer, brewed fresh in Alaska
Ship Creek
Coastal trail
Moose's Tooth
Denali
Wasilla and Palmer
Feed ducks
Talkeetna (with a flight to Denali base camp)
Fairbanks
Chena
Hot Springs
Hmm...well, I guess we'll have to go again. Not too bad, though! Hope your drive was quick and easy and your errand running goes well tomorrow!
