Curiouser and Curiouser

He arrived yesterday. The first time I saw him was when the dinner bell rang and they all filed inside. How did that work out? I was trying to find an actor to let him know he had a different dinner option in the back (he's very lactose intolerant) and I had to pass him. No eye contact, no hello, nothing.

That was the first punch.

I'm in the kitchen eating, as to avoid any awkwardness in public. He comes in, my mother begins talking to him. He only addresses me as an after-thought with "How are you?" Then continues to talk to my mother and Olivia.

Second Punch.

We hang out on the back deck lastnight. Corn hole fun. Everyone is talking. He will not even so much as look at me.

KO.

Apparently he looked at Matt (the kitchen staff who kinda started this whole thing by being drunk and only 16) and then turned his head and walked away when he saw him yesterday. I also found out that they have planned their camping trip f0r this afternoon. I can't go because of work on Monday. The one event that I look forward to every year, and I can't go. This season is starting off beautifully.

I slept here lastnight because mom needed the car. Coda is at my aunt's kennel, mom has the car, and I'm here all day until she comes in to cook. Thankfully he is leaving for North/South lake at lunch. Then I'll have some time to think.

Three weeks. Can I get through three weeks without wanting to stab myself in the neck?
Here's hoping.

Maturation

I've become friends with women at the ice skating rink that my sister skates at. They are either coaches or mothers of skaters, but we have fun when we all are together. 

Every Saturday afternoon, we go to lunch after skating. Yesterday was no exception. Stephanie (Olivia's coach), Debbie (A skating mom), my mother and I were in attendance. We talk about a whole list of things from skating to ailments to relationships. I was talking about starting back at the playhouse when Stephanie asked me about Luke. I explained that he and I have not spoken since July, despite my efforts to attempt to salvage our friendship. This then led into Debbie and Stephanie saying that I just need to have sex. They explained to me that I should have sex with him. "Be aggressive about it and get it. Get down and dirty. Just do it." Debbie then turns to me and asks "You're not still a virgin, are you?" Forgetting that my mother was sitting across from me at the table I say "no" and go on with the conversation. I end up with two pats on the arm from my mother and a "Wow, you said that in front of your mother. I'm proud" from Debbie. 

What...the...hell. 

I know that my mother has had an IDEA about this, but I never confirmed it for her. Until yesterday.

Wonderful.
