So, the weekend was uneventful, except for the arrival of Mira! I'm very happy she's here, all the way from Berlin, Germany. She is the newest addition to the house and she fits in quite well. She'll be staying here until the fall, although when exactly she'll go home, I'm not sure. I don't think she's sure either...
We toured around SF on Sunday, which was a beautiful day. Untrue April SF weather if you ask me - until of course, the fog rolled in. We were on Twin Peaks by then and Mira was amazed by how thick the fog was, and also the speed. Yes, our fog is fast! Within half an hour, half of the city can be covered in thick, white layers of windy coldness. And you have to see it to believe it. So, I'm glad she got to see that!
Yesterday was the first kickball session of the new season, and Mira was invited of course! I should have explained the game better, but I also thought - maybe it's easy enough to understand once you're playing. Well... Mira started to understand the more we played, but... it's not really her type of game. Oh well! She came and tried and met new people, which is all I could have asked for! Next time, she'll sit on the sidelines and heckle - which is a sport unto itself...
I, however, was a great player for my team! If there had been some sort of MVP vote, I think my name might have been in there. And! I was the only person to keep hold of my beer as I ran around the bases! Crafty.
There was many a crush that started last night I believe. One was started for me (which is unfortunate because I doubt anything will happen there), and another is my own personal new crush. :)
Another CSer came and joined in the fun. I will call him J. He's German, but lives in Sweden mostly. He's in SF now until the fall and then maybe Seattle after that before heading back to Sweden next year. Sigh... new crushes are so fun.
After kicking balls until it got too cold, we very undecidingly decided to eat. We ended up at Luna Park on 18th and Valencia. Yum. Mac and cheese with broccoli and ham. J had a "tasty burger", which we agreed was a horrid name for a burger - full of anticipation and hype, which often leads to disappointment.
I sat next to J and he found out I speak German. Not only is he cute and smiley, but now I've got double the ammo when flirting. The crush deepens. We all wind down with our eating and J and I stay there to drink a beer or two. Sigh. It's a lovely, fun time and he's a gentleman.
He pays for the drinks, he politely rebuffs my overly flirtatious will (I'd been drinking and was getting tired!) to snuggle with him that night, and he walks me all the way to the Van Ness Muni station. Such a good guy. He's definitely someone I want to meet up with again.
Telling Leta about it today at lunch was good too. Apparently, I missed a fun night at Kate's with the geeks, but I think my last night was pretty fun. And Mi and C are bitching so much lately, that I'm stepping back for a moment. Mi is cute and funny and the chemistry is still there, but.... if there's stuff going on in his personal or work life that might hinder anything... I know when breathing room is needed.
