I don't usually post about my dates, because there's only so many times I can write OMG SO BAD before I want to spork myself. But tonight? You'll like this.

First date. We went to a cheapish restaurant. Conversation was a real struggle - he didn't pick up any of my conversational salvos and didn't offer any of his own. He'd answer open-ended questions with things like 'hmmm'. Maybe he's shy, I don't know. I also no longer care. The bill came, and it was £31.45. I put down £20, because I'd had dessert and he hadn't, and I figured that was about right . He studied the bill for a really long time, and then fished through some change and put down £11. So, it was 45p short. I waited a moment, expecting him to add to it, but no. I had to fish my wallet out of my bag again to fix it.

45p!

I was so surprised I actually laughed out loud. And then I made my excuses, and I left.

BWAH! And I know this is cliché, but - men!

God, I know! It's just such a small amount that it's absurd. I almost want to call him up and tell him where he went wrong so he doesn't sabotage future dates in the same way.

But really, his fate was sealed about two minutes into the date when he complained at me for not booking a table at the restaraunt I'd chosen. Who books on a weeknight? It was at about 30% capacity. More importantly, who picks an argument about it on a first date?!

UGH!!

Anyway. How's Big Bang?!

That's... Really ridiculous. I mean. What a sad, sad person. I'm glad you can laugh about it, at least!

Big Bang is... EATING MY BRAIN. OMG. You have no idea. ^^;; This is either the most AWESOME THING EVER or it might kill us and anyone trying to read it. I don't know. But I really am having a blast. ♥

Having a blast is the best possible outcome! I can't wait to see what you come up with.

How about now? Are you finished now?
