Day 10

can i trust you with a secret my dear sweet world wide web??
i think i might have a little tiny crush...
TONIGHT WAS SO MUCH FUN! like seriously though. i was dreading it - maybe thinking about calling in sick. but i'm so glad that we went! dating really is fun!! after 2 successful dates in a row, i'm convinced.
The dance was just liked i had envisioned with people in full blown period attire and a string quartet playing in the ballroom at some beautiful mansion. we went on a carriage ride and had dinner outside in the freezing cold (don't worry, my date lent me his jacket like a perfect 18th century gent). to prolong the inevitable awkward dancing, we played sardines which turned out to be a great idea (gooood one caitlin, good one). my date and i won so we went to hide, and had already scoped out the perfect spot - the closet full of chairs in the corner. But when we went to go hide there, there was the girl in charge with her computer out working on something, and she gave us the worst look ever, like - are you guys kidding me?? I mean, i guess now that i think about it it did kind of look like we were just a scandalous couple sneaking in to the closet to make out... but we explained our situation (mostly just to defend our honor) and hung out in the closet with her. good thing we had a chaperon or who knows what might have happened ;)
we did get around to the dancing eventually and it turned out to be really fun too! better than the deacon shuffle for sure. after a trip to the malt shoppe and an incredibly poorly executed goodbye scene we called it quits and ran into naomi's room to analyze the night.
I think i might just have the best friends in the whole world. i could have had fun no matter who i was on a date with! there are only 7 more weekends - we have GOT to make them count!!!
