Yay! A date :D

I had a date last night, it was wonderful :) I'll call him Mr. Music. I'd met him at my church a month ago, and we'd been exchanging emails. I finally got up the nerve to offer to be a tour guide.

All told, the date was about 12 hours long hehe. I picked him up, as he is 2 months new to Atlanta. We headed to Lil 5 points, but man there were SO many people... nowhere to park. Then we realized it was also game day, and part of the crowds were game "tourists" wanting to see the granola capital of Atlanta.

So we skipped that, and instead I took him to a bluesy BBQ place. He plays guitar, so I figured he'd appreciate it. And he did. We had the obligatory boring "this is my life" conversations, and moved over to my school for more of it afterwards. We walked and talked there, then had a lil time to kill before the Cemetery so we got a beer.

The Cemetery was really really cool. Oakland Cemetery is a victorian style cemetery from teh 19th century. They offer Halloween tours, and this was originally the "date" part of the evening. The paths were lit with luminaries, and torches, and our guide led us to different mausoleums. These were open, and had a "spirit" who told us about his life and relevance to the history of Atlanta. The tour took about an hour, and they offered $1 coffee and cookies etc afterwards. There was also a goth gal playing violin hehe.

After the cemetery we went to the church halloween party. I changed into my costume there. I was gum on the bottom of a shoe :P Other costumes were: pregnant nun (guy had a beard), 2 guys with beards dressed up as girl scouts, a girl dressed as Eddie Munster, a pirate, a wench, Dracula's bride, Shaggy (with stuffed animal Scooby), cheerleader, the red head from desperate housewives, harem girl, cowgirl, monk, Jet Li, King George Bush, and pippi longstocking.

Mr. Music played his guitar after an hour of socializing. I sat at his feet in awe, and eventually he became the focus of the party. He has a lot of fire and passion in his playing, and he knows a TON of songs! From Who to Rolling Stones to Beatles to Radiohead, to Nirvana. We finally left there about 1am, and went back to his place to talk and cuddle. I got home about 4am (3am new time).

And I woke up around 8, then 10, but stayed in bed till 12 hehe.

All in all, an excellent date! Much more so than I expected, as I'm very comfortable around him, and he makes me laugh.
