A little after 1 I decided to call becca. She said she would call me around 12 but its after 1 so I figured I should call her. When she answered she said she was just about to pick up the phone to call me. Weird. We said we had a psychic connection. She asked me how well I know downtown middlebury and I said, I know where hannifords is. She told me to meet her there, so at around 1:40ish I went up to middlebury.
I guess I got there a little bit earlier then she expected since she showed up 15 minutes later. When I was waiting, I was thinking is she already here and I just can't see her? Or maybe I missed heard the message she gave me and said call me at hannifords, not meet me at hannifords. So I called her and asked if she was in hannifords and she said yes, so I was really cofused, but it ended up being she just arrived when I called. When I was still waiting I thought I saw her, because it saw a skinny white female dressed in black, so I started to walk towards her and when I was about to wave and say hi I realized it wasn't her. That saved me some embaressment.
When she arrived we got in my car and headed to downtown. After we parked the car and got out she asked me if I wanted the door locked since she's not used to locking it. I said sure since Im so used to living in the dangerous city of Rutland. I told her I usually put a club on my steering wheel and sometimes even a boot on my tire.
We went to some shops, we first went to wilde tyhme mountain, I think it's called. It's some kind of hippie shop. I was there with emily one time. I got some postcards and a no W sticker. I told becca the sticker means no white people. She said that was terrible but still laughed.
Becca said we should hang out by the river after we get something to drink/since I was thristy. She asked me if I was thirsty just when I was about to tell her I wanted to get something to drink. I said she was pyschic and she said we have a mental connection. I asked her if when she goes to the river if she says "take me to the river" and when she gets there she says "down by the river" or "rolling on the river" She said "I think that exactly in that order too". We went to a deli and to get our drinks. I got a orgenia and a peanut butter cookie. Becca got a izze soda, rasberry I think. She took me to the river.
"I dont know why I do, I wanna know that you'll tell me, Take me to the river and drop me in the water"
-talking heads, "take me to the river"
We hung out 'down by the river'. "Be on my side, I'll be on your side,There is no reason for you to hide,It's so hard for me staying here all alone,When you could be taking me for a ride,You take my hand, I'll take your hand,Together we may get away"
Down by the river-Neil Young, "Down by the river"
(FYI The original meaning of the songs do not stand in this blog entry. The selection of lyrics is what matters in this entry.)
(update 8-17-08 I think I was being a bit melodramatic with these lyrics. Helpless romantic?)
The spot we hung out at was near the spot where her dad found the body of the college student that died and couldn't be found. In a way it was kinda weird. So I said "and over there the old man went down on me". She laughed. (earlier I told her the last time I went to middlebury an old man tried to make me his boyfriend) We talked movies and college. She changed her major to philosophy and minor in studio arts. She said that a major in musical theater was way to competitive. She would have been required to sing five songs in five different styles and one of the songs had to be in a different language. She wants to do an internship with her dad. She's interested in doing criminal profiling. I wasn't too surprised when she told me that, in a good way. When we were sitting there, I reminded myself to really absorb the moment because before you know it, it'll be gone. And here I am writing about it. It's gone, but still her in my memory and in this writing.
We left the river and went to a stationary store, an art store and a book store. At the art store we were looking at a door with some signs like it was a piece of art. It was fun. Then we did the same thing with a chair, but I think the chair actually was a piece for sale.
At the book store we found a book about 14,000 things to be happy about. We read through some of it adding in our own, genocide, abortions. When we were at the book store I felt like we were in a cheesy chick flick. Weird. Actually the whole time we were hanging out was like that.
Becca was looking at a van gogh calender and she said "Did I tell you Im going to amsterdam?" When she said it there was an older guy standing by her and I walked up to her and said, "Are you asking me or him?" She laughed and looked at the guy and said, "Did I tell you I'm going to amsterdam?" The guy laughed and said "Im going too!" She told me she is going and asked if I wanted a postcard. I said yes and she just needs my address.
The book store has a music selection and while I was looking through it I mentioned to becca that local music is always folk music. She said there's nothing wrong with folk music (her and her dad are in a folk band) but I just ment that I have nothing against folk music it's just sterotyping vermont.
She wanted to show me a music store that she thought I would really like since it sold old vynal and was very anit government. But when we got there it was no longer there.
At the end of the day I dropped her off at a restaurant where she was meeting her parents. She said we should stay in touch and hang out during the winter break. That would be cool. She told me she's going to amsterdam and she will send me a postcard, I just have to give her my address.
It would be really cool if we did end up dating again. We dated before, and she is the only exgf I would date again. I know she still likes me as a friend, but Im not sure how she feels about dating again, espically since she goes to school in Long Island. I wouldn't have a problem with it because Its Becca. Now Im worried that I'll meet some new girl at CSC and I won't get to date Becca. Im not sure if thats a bad thing or what.
All in all it was a fun time. I hope we get to do it again.
