You asked for it.

So many of you have probably been wondering how my lovely lil date went... so here's the story!

Intermittently during the day, we were making plans on what was going to go down (my friend asked me to go to a haunted house and I invited him to come along), who we were meeting up with and when, etc. I didn't really think it was going to be a real life date just because I asked him, and it was a big group thing, and yeah. So I was planning to pay for myself and we were just going to meet up with everyone by ourselves. Like we weren't going to go there together. Dumb I know. Anyway, the time came to meet up and my friend Stephanie (the girl who invited me int he first place) calls and says hey can you get a ride to this place. I was like ummm I don't think so because I don't have a car (I didn't want to ask Ben because I didn't think he would drive and again, I was the one who had asked him in the first place). But, I called him, and he was totally okay with it. During all this, my friend Liz came over cuz we were all supposed to meet up together anyway, and I knew she didn't have a ride so I told her to ride with me and Ben (which was totally okay in case any of you readers are wondering). So anyway, we meet up with Ben. We drive to the Haunted House (called Haunted Mill) chatting all the way. We get there and I'm already scared! But I brought these glow stick bracelets, which was awesome, and I even shared them with people. :-) Remember how I said I didn't think it was a date? Well I was totally prepared to pay for myself, but he just up and pays for both of us! *gasp* You can imagine how happy I felt inside. Haha. So we proceed through the entrance into everything frightening and spooky and he tells me to hold onto him and grabs my hand and links my arm with his. Ask me if I got butterflies. Yes. Yes I did. 100% added to my already enormous adrenaline rush. Is it bad that I wished a haunted house would never end? Because seriously, that's what I wanted. It was the closest thing I had to intimate physical contact with him. It was almost tortuous though because I knew it would end soon. Anyway, as soon as we got out, it was like my mini wonderland dreamworld was over because he let go of me and we drove home. I thanked him, and we parted ways.

I see him in class every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. That date was like the beginning and the end of all things. My hopes of being Ben Burke's first girlfriend are gone. And I have given up. I now wave the white flag.

On a happier note though, my Halloween costume got finished over the past weekend, and I must say... I have outdone myself...
