So, at the end of last week I was thuroughly frustrated with boys.  After being stood up and then ignored by two separate boys (one of slight romantic interest, one of no romantic interest), I had enough.  I talked to my mom via phone and told her I was done looking for a boy, I didn't want a boyfriend.  Then, lo and behold, a boy showed up.

It was at a dance party, a costume dance party.  I was dressed as an asian school girl, he was dressed as a karate student.  I saw him all night, but didn't approach him until the night was half done.  I commented on his costume and told him I thought it would go well with mine.  We started dancing (you know what high school dancing looks like... haha) and talking.  It was great.  He attends a school near mine, so distance is not a problem.  He's cute.  He's really funny.  We have a fair share of similarities: guitar, snowboarding, math, asianess, whitewashed (americanized asians).  He sounds intelligent, he's active, funny... and we swapped numbers at the end of the party.

He texted me the next day and we started im-ing.  He sounds pretty great.  We even like the same random tv show "The Red Green Show" haha, great stuff.  It would be so awkward if he was reading it now... well, at least it's only good things.  (So if you're reading this, ask me out already!  I like you and want to get to know you better!)

I don't want to get my hopes up and get all excited like he might like me, but I can't help it.  I try to stay calm and just be excited that I met someone I like, not that he might be a potential date.  I remain skeptical, but can't help feeling happy that he asked for my number then actually did something with it.

I hope we can hang out soon.  I really want to know who he is.  I've heard nothing but good things from people that know both of us.   The common response is "Oh, him!  He's so great!  How'd you meet?"  So I'll take that as a good thing.  We'll see if anything happens.  If not, I'll just move on and continue to not want a boyfriend... until something good comes along again, ahaha (but only if it asks for my number).

Oh, and btw my co-worker finally apologized to me about forgetting about me.  I don't care anymore.  He offered to take me out to dinner to apologize, but I doubt it will happen.  I kinda don't want it to now.  I like someone my age who sounds more mature.  (albeit he does normal teenage stuff like partying, drifting, and a little cannabis)  It's better than just being an adult who hasn't grown up.

I must say this is better than two weeks ago: stood up, car breaks x2, finals, friend ignores me, contest, boyless, mom out of town (she's home again), plain old bored with life.
