By the way....

I am SO allergic to something here. Like... Hay or wheat or something.

In other news, I have a new room mate. Her name is Tess and she is exactly like me. Her hair is just a little bit redder.
There are so many things I could expand on with her being just like me, but I'll stick to the basics. She hates scary movies, loves all of the same music as me, has had her hair chemically straightened, she even knows someone that I know. It's ridiculous. She's awesome.

I met another guy on Monday. Not that I haven't met guys every day, but these are the ones of note. The ones that I could possibly be interested in.
Like Isak. He definitely isn't the cutest boy in the world, but he's definitely up there.
He's very republican, very into board games, very nice, and, most importantly, incredibly smart.

I never thought I'd meet someone with the same kind of intelligence and wit that I have. Not that you all aren't smart, because you are. It's just a different kind of smart.

We met in English at 9:00 in the morning, because I was late to class on Monday, and the only open seat was next to him in the back of the classroom. I sat down, and we began to speak with one another immediately. I really don't remember at all what we talked about, probably how freaking hot it was Sunday night and how little sleep we got because of it, but that doesn't matter. It's more the fact that we did.
After class, he asked me if I like board games.

"I guess, I mean I don't play much, but I have a lot of fun when I do."

"Which one's your favorite?" He asked.

"I don't know... Either Risk or Trivial Pursuit. Why?"

"I don't know. A bunch of my friends and I get together and play really abstract board games."

"That sounds like fun. Hey, could I join sometime?" I asked.

"Yeah. Just give me your number and I'll text you next time we're playing."

I gave him my phone number. DUH.

"Okay, well, this is my building. I'll see you Wednesday!" I said.

"See you then. Bye."

And thus we parted ways. He texted me later in the day so I had his number, too, but we didn't talk at all really.
Then today, I wasn't late to English, but I still sat next to him in the back of the room. We bonded over peer reviews; mostly making fun of what other people had written. Eventually, he told me that he is very very conservative. I told him that I am very very liberal.

"I can probably change that."

"Oh, can you?"

"Yep. Just give me about a year."

"Well, we've got four. Give it your best shot."

Walking to my next class, we continued to talk. He ended up reminding me a lot of Elliot, and he said I remind him of his friend Megan.


Then tonight, just before band, I texted him. This weekend the Nuthouse Improv group is having their "Bring a Date to Nuthouse!" event. I figured I'd ask him.
The following is our conversation. He will be in italics... and bold.

Did you go to the Nuthouse comedy thing last week?
No.
Do you want to this week?
Sure. When is it?
What are you doing tomorrow?
Sorry it took me so long! I'm not allowed to text during band. I'm not doing anything tomorrow. Yay for no class Thursday! Why?
We should have lunch and play a board game.
We definitely should. What time and where?
12:00 in the CUB's cafeteria sound good?
Sure. Sounds great. (:
Golden.


I really had no idea what to say to that. Like, what do you say to that? Seriously.
So the whole point of that was to tell the world that I have a 'lunch date' tomorrow. Or, what I perceive to be a lunch date. Seriously, I am overanalyzing this like crazy.
PLEASE MAKE ME STOP.

I'm super excited!
