when no means yes

Got a hair cut and color last week. I feel really dang sexy. It had been a YEAR since I'd had color or a cut. hey, I had better things to do with my time last year;)
I was trying to convince Jared's BF yesterday to stop being lazy when it came to girls and to not just "hang out" until they lose interest. Nice, nice guy but he never makes the right moves and he's lazy about it. It's like he is working for that "FRIEND" title.
I used to be the QUEEN of turning a guy I liked but not-in-that-way into a friend. They'd try, but I found ways of getting around their advances and making sure they were nuttin' but buddies.
"Why am I cursed to always be the friend??" the boys say. Because we decide if we want you to be or not, dear mens.
The only exception to the rule would be Jared. I met him and instantly put him in the friend category. We hung out a few times and he was just the kind of guy I wanted as a friend. Reliable, fun, but I wasn't interested "like that." He was interested in me "like that," but of course he was. heck, I'm Reva! Of course!
So I planned of being just friendly with him, but he bought me a movie I was dying to see so I headed over to him place one night to watch it, and sat on the other side of the couch from him to stay safe. He didn't let things stay that way for long - he grabbed my hand and pulled me over next to him. At first I was freaked out - warning bells were going on and I was like "Noooo! Musn't let him get the idea that this is okay! We're just friends!!!" but it felt really nice.. so I waited until the movie was over to tell him we were just going to be friends and nothing else and things like this couldn't continue.
"No," said Jared.
"What??" I said. "You can't do that - I mean no, we're just going to be friends. That's what I want."
"You're wrong."
"You can't say that!!" I was flabbergasted. Guys are supposed to be sad, or even beg maybe, but they can't just say no when you say you shouldn't pursue a romantic relationship. But that's just what he did!
"I like you and I feel really good about us. We're going to date."
"But I don't want a boyfriend - I want to be single." I was getting confused now...
"Well, we're going to date. If you have issuses about that, get over it. This is gonna be good."
We argued about it for a few hours. Eventually I left all confused - he rarely loses an arguement what with all that logic he uses. But he eventually won. not that I'm sorry about it, that's just what happened:)
I've asked him bout it since, and he told me that I knew the tactics of being turned into that friend, so he figured he had to counter them right when I tried them because he did not want to be the friend. And now he's the husband, so I guess he was thinking with his noggin:)
Pcs of the monster truck rally we went to on our anniversary (because we are that nuts:)
We were the second row from the top in the Georgia Dome. And we still needed earplugs!! You could hear the engines from blocks away!!
And here's a mushy one of us... it would be even mushier had he closed his eyes - but he didn't. I tried to fix it with photoshop, but it didn't work even a tad. Ah well. it's still cute.
SUPERCRACK is --- writing more than once a week?? egads!!!!!!!
