A Hug to Remember

Ugh.. It's been a LONG week. But it was good. We were at EFY, as mentioned before, and I simply had a FABULOUS time. I am sitting here with my baby Presto on my lap. She's just adorable. Getting fatter by the day.

Anyway, I suppose I should finish my 'story' on EFY. It was just AWESOME. I would strongly recommend it to any youth 14 and up! If you're over 18 (for girls), and over 21 (for boys), then you can be a counselor. They are just so HILARIOUS and AMAZING! So I just have to say that going with Blond Chica, and one of her friends HSM Lover was Fabulous. HSML won a dance competition, and we had a variety show in which HSML, Blond Chica, and I (as well as some of our 'company' girls) went up with us to dance to a High School Musical song. Everybody was cheering for HSML. It was great.

Then the dance came Friday! I have to get this over and done with, because I am just SOOO excited. As I said before, I met a boy. Really nice. Anyway, so we had been messing around in one room which we were supposed to be cleaning, and there was like, NOTHING, to clean. So then, the councilors tell us it's time to go to the dance. He (said cute boy) asks to escort me and Blond Chica. We talked, and found we all three had a lot in common. But he's mostly talking to Blond Chica because he's already escorted me and already knows some about me.

So we get to the dance, we say thank you, and he goes to see his friends. We are literally having the times of our lives meanwhile, Blond Chica and I are dancing the night away.... OH YEAH! Throughout the dance, I watch to see if he's ever 'available', and he's on one side of the room, and by the time I would get to the guy, somebody else would be with him. So I kind of gave up.


So then one of my favorite songs comes on. It's one that requires line dancing. I don't know the song, but they called it the 'Peanut Butter Dance'. Fun times. It's the last dance of this EFY, and I am just THROWING myself into it. I ran to get my camera (also a camcorder) to video record the dance, so I can memorize it. I managed to get it, but by that time, I am just SWEATING. The next song, the third to last song, is a slow one(and I believe it was boy's choice). Well, I was just turning my camera off from checking to see if the recorded video was okay, when he comes up, and asks if I would like to dance. I hand my camera to Blond Chica (I asked if she would hold it-don't worry!), and off we went!

We were dancing (it's a slow song), and we're talking. Great guy to talk to. Anyway, pretty soon, the song is over, but I kind of didn't realize it because I was enjoying myself talking to this guy. Then I realize the song is over, and I shut up.

He kind of holds his hands up, and it's like I'm reading his mind, and in his mind he's saying, "Well, this is it." But you could tell he wanted to give me a hug. As far as I was concerned, he hadn't offered a hug to any other girl I had seen, and I wasn't imagining it because I wasn't expecting it.

So I had to hug him. But it was a nice hug. Just FYI, I have NEVER been hugged by another guy, so it's a new experience for me, and it's just WAYYY exciting. I DID manage to get his phone number and e-mail, so I'm like WAYYY excited. I was literally bouncing off the walls. I went back to Blond Chica (who had been asked by someone to dance), and she's telling me how it went, but I wasn't even paying attention.

"He hugged me." Was all I could say. She did know that I thought he was cute and all. She continued talking, but I felt bad afterward 'cause I wasn't listening. "He hugged me," was all I could say.

I went over to her house afterward (it was after 11 PM), and we were going to have a Harry Potter marathon, and then watch the sixth one today. But I couldn't stop talking about him like, the rest of the night. It will be nice to just be friends, but it's like, he's my first 'guy friend' hug, and I am no longer interested in any guys in my neighborhood.

NOT. A. ONE.
