Flashy lights and IHop.

I feel better today. I was sulking yesterday over the failure of THE GIFT. I was frantically talking with one his friends, Justin, over AIM, sounding out gift ideas when Karl texted me while at work, since it was slow and he felt bad that I was upset. (I mentioned why I was sulking before he had to head off to work.)

From his text, I decided, since I wasn't too pleased about THE GIFT affair, that I'd inquire as to his exhaustion level...and then propose going to the WaffleHouse when he got off work. (At midnight.)

He happily accepted my proposition- and I met him at 12ish, and we discovered that neither of us knew where to nearest WaffleHouse was. So, we settled for IHop!

Karl bought me pancakes, and had himself a breakfasty thing, and we talked. And I revealed THE GIFT. I was going to get him a museum quality replica of Mal's Brown Coat from the show Firefly. Penny/Kith! If you has not seen it- YOU SO TOTALLY SHOULD.

Anyway, Karl's a big fanboy. So it was perfect. All his friends agreed that it was perfect. But, apparently, the manufacturer's license to make it was up just in time for when I ordered it. :/

ANYWAY.

I was going to talk about how much fun I had last night with the IHop whatsit. What with me and my sugared water, and when I drove him back to the parking lot where his car was parked from work- it was really quiet, little traffic, and it smelled like rain and was nicely lit by the parking lot lights and a clear sky above. It felt like one of those cheesy romance movies, and Karl acted the part without even knowing it. <3

<3 <3


We'll have to do the silly midnight thing again, because we didn't actually go to the WaffleHouse, and I've never been to one.



On a side note, the flashing ring-pop candy Penny sent me...I consumed it five days ago. I pulled out the little tab at 7pmish to make it flash- it read 'May flash for two hours.'

It's been flashing ever since.

Five days and counting.
