Last night, I was talking with a recently newfound friend and to my amazement, we have a lot more in common that I thought. It started with questioning each other about religion and politics and what's a current book that each of us is reading. I confessed that I love a good debated about anything that's debatable because life in general is so subjective that it's such a broad topic to discuss almost anything about. But beyond the sentences that were exchanged back and forth, I was finding out more about him that just made me feel comfortable and warm inside. I felt as if we were sitting on an oversized sofa sitting face to face just talking. I just came home from a house-warming party and it was late, but as promised we called each other for a catch up conversation about our days and I just lost track of time. 5 minutes turned to 2 hours and I wasn't a bit concerned about what time it was. Sure, I may have had work at 5am but I wasn't sleepy. I was so intrigued by this once "mysterious" person that now all this information was coming out fluidly like Pandora's Box and there's something amazing about him. I've already mentioned a few times that I'm smitten and of course it's all true! I've never felt like this for a while and I'm still not sure if what I'm feeling is just pure adrenaline or they are sincere; but I do know that I enjoy every second I get even if it's a text chat or and IM chat or something as silly as facebook tagging in our ridiculous, yet entertaining videos.
He's got me inspired to get back into reading. He brought up a good point that some books, mainly series books that are fictional and are novels of something as exotic as Arabic authors has really pushed me to research those books. If he can sit and enjoy reading them, there's a HUGE chance that I could be the same and join him by reading different books but from authors from other countries. I was looking at this book that I found while browsing
and I'm curious because what he said was, "you get sucked in to reading this exciting, adventurous books but in the back of your mind you know that there's going to be an end, but you don't want it to end...it's almost like the end of the Harry Potter series". I want that rush. I want that adrenaline when reading a book that all you want to do in any spare second is to read. Read read read. There's something about readers that I find attractive and its not the intellectual aspect of it, but the passion and drive one gets when sitting down to read. It's an art in itself really.Mmmm in other news, my job (starbucks) now offers free internet and surprisingly that hasn't really made a difference with how busy we've been. I blame the closing down of 98th St and the new subway entrance between 96th and 95th on Broadway that when the flood of people come out from underground, the walk downtown and see our store right there. Sure we are still understaffed and we just had a girl quit on us, but it's okay because we have what the regulars call "A Team" and that fuels us to work harder. But we're all hard workers, Sarah, my boss really has us in good shape and I can see why she's picky when hiring people to join our team. Even if it's just starbucks.
Today we had a playlist from the 70's that stabucks chooses via satellite and we had this woman (who doesn't ever give us her real name but her dog's name "Daisy") and she got surprised by the song that was playing and it took her to a good memory and she started to get watery eyes. It was cute because she said this was "way before our time" but I just found it so endearing. Very much like how my friend was talking to me and it was so involved and focused but still managed to carry a deep sigh which was a sign of realness and that he may not have the right words or how to explain but boy does this guy have a smart and fascinating heart and mind. I'm impressed. (side note: Nat King Cole's Unforgettable is such a beautiful ballad and ugh I just enjoy it)I'm thinking, I want to go here for vacation. Sometime soon I hope, maybe August. Right before school starts in late August. Don't laugh but it's Charleston, North Carolina!
I was looking at images on google and I'm impressed! It's like a jazzy bluesy Southern feel and I love it! Being from Dallas I love the South, but this is a more beautiful place that I would love to visit! Even if it's for a week! LOL I'm not sure though, I have a few places in mind. Florida to see the everglades and ride the boats, surf in Southern California, camp and hike in Oregon or even go back home to Dallas to visit Lauren! But she's in Ireland so it's not happening that I'm going to Texas LOL.Man, life is good right now. I can't complain. I can't complain. ♥
