It was a date...


This last weekend of October was the best. Many times I feel that there's moments in one's life were everything falls into place in one perfect night. On Friday night I went with my friend to see "Los Abandoned" Reunion Show at the Echoplex. For the purpose of this blog I am not going to write his real name...(because I want him to get actual dates with girrrls). I had messaged this friend a month prior to the show to ask him to pick me up to go to the show. He said that it was fine. I wanted to be nice and I bought his ticket to the show, because he was going to drive from San Bernardino County all the way to Los Angeles. I think that it is always fair to buy a friend their ticket if you are not paying for the gas and it is nice to carpool with someone if you are going to the same place. I am always a very entertaining passenger. When my friend text me that afternoon about what time he was going to pick me up he said something about 8:00 p.m. (I thought it was pretty early because the band was going to play at 10:23.)

I was getting pretty excited about the show, because I couldn't wait to hang out with friends and dance the night off with "Los Abandoned." Then my friend texts me once again that he would be having dinner and that he would pick me up around 8'ish...That was perfect because I could eat dinner and get ready for the show and continue answering texts that other friends were sending me.

He finally shows up to my house like around 9:10, because he was running late from his dinner. I am not quite sure how we ended up on the topic of his dinner...(I guess I was under the assumption he had dinner with his family.) It turns out he had a dinner date with his ex-girlfriend. I think that was the coolest highlight of our conversation, because when I told him he was on a "date" with his ex-girlfriend before he came to pick me up...HE claimed it wasn't a date...I always considered eating with and ex girlfriend or ex boyfriend as a date. I always correlate those two things together. I do get that boys and girls can be friends, but ex's they have that whole emotional baggage that they carry with them. Like a bad scar ready to be opened up and start to bleed again. I think that the other funny thing about that conversation was when he offered me cold pizza from his dinner date with his ex. This was waaaaaaaay too funny. It totally inspired me to want to write a poem and make fun of this whole moment.


Overall it was the best night ever danciiing, sweating, and singing along to "Los Abandoned" made it one of the most memorable nights of my life. I even met one of my favorite bloggers Ms. MJ that night. I was trying to get to the front of the stage with my friend Vicki when I saw a familiar face and I turned around and told my friend that I followed her blog...and she said the same thing to her friend...Awww! it was sooo perfect.
