"i'm on a plane take a looka me/ straight flyin on a plane to WashingtonDC/ VirginAmerica 30000 feet/ you can't stop me & the wifi at my seat"           -Scotty Crowe (twitter) posted this Friday-yeah, he loves soulja boy. It's only semi-excusable since he's from the South.

So he's going to DC a week before me?? Ok, I'm not flying on Virgin America this time, but it's still weird, right?

Had to put the divider line there so I didn't have to waste a whole post on my Scotty stalking.

So anyway, I've been keeping a low profile lately, aka avoiding expensive drinking binges with my still employed teacher friends.

Yesterday, my friend Cindy invited me to a family party at her house. Since I was literally down the street at Nancy's house planning our school carnival all day, it was quite convenient so I was totally up for it. I like hanging out with her family, even if they're Dodgers/Raiders/Mets fans, they're nice people with great food and free booze. But then I had to meet up with Phil and Christine to pick up something that Missy sent me with Phil so I had to drive way the hell out of the way and almost went home to watch TV and catch up with my work instead.

But my gut said I should go, so even as tired and stressed as I was, I went.

Then I realized that Cindy had sorta set me up. But the cool thing was...I kinda liked the guy =)

I mean, I definitely didn't have my A game on, but I was still pretty friendly and found out what I wanted to know about him. As in, he's 26-27 (I've dated younger), is an engineer that graduated from UCLA(physics major) and lives in Lakewood(ten minutes away from me) with roommates, and is single, funny, cute and has an ex-girlfriend who's a teacher and a sister who teaches at Cindy's school. 

Old Emma would not have left that party without his number. New Emma has decided that if he is interested, he knows how to get my number (from Cindy).

It's been a while since I've met anyone who was cool enough to talk to for most of a party or who intrigued me enough to make me friendly when I could have been talking with my other friends. I will admit he reminded me of Sam a little bit and fit my generic tall, skinny, smart, sarcastic, good with kids, dimple and nice teeth "type" so that was a lot of it.

The one minus is that Cindy kinda had a crush on him for a little bit in December when they first met. I don't know what's up with them now but Cindy told him to come so he could meet me. I guess he asked Cindy if there were going to be any single girls there and she said I would be there and that I was a cool one.

If anything, it was nice to have another single person around in a world of couples and to meet someone new who I'd actually want to hang out with again...
