Second Day...
In my best impression of Vince Vaughn (yum!) from Wedding Crashers, here is my thought on "geek chic guy" tonight.. HE'S A SEEKER/TALKER!!! (wince)
GC guy (whose name I will share with the girls later) grew up with Catholic parents, but was an atheist until the last two years when he started reading everything about religion, I guess... It was the most animated I'd seen him since... well last night when we met.... :) We actually missed a large portion of our class because we were talking about the flood and the fallibility of carbon dating and scientology and islam and a whole bunch of stuff.
He's read through the Bible several times, the Koran and the Torah too... I know he's really seeking and wants to believe in something and that's probably why God put him in my life for right now. It was an interesting conversation, but considering my frighteningly rapid descent in to practical agnosticism... now is probably not the best time to be a representative for The Almighty.
Pentecostal guilt makes me feel I should do something in the way of Christian PR - no matter how half-assed the attempt. Although... even though he's totally interested in religion and I'm well... not... really... I think in level of belief in God and Christian things we're probably somewhat comparable by virtue of me heading one way and him the other. (I'm not sure that made sense, but it's 2:30 in the morning... WTF do you expect?)
I'm not even sure I can muster up the energy to research and spout cliche's. Although if I really wanted to work this evangelistic dating thing, it could really be my "IN" LOL.
Back to stats...
...on second (and slightly less tired) look, he's definitely in his late 20's, early 30's (still adorable to me)
... Probably grew up conservative and "backslid" - he says he's neither GOP or DEM, but was agitated that CNN was on the breakroom TV and not Fox News LOL (Typical closet or second generation conservative).
...He has at least a brother because he mentioned that the two of them go over to their parents house on Sundays to watch Sopranos together (HOW CUTE!!!!)
More entertainment (a subject that is easier to broach)... Loves Discovery, TLC and the History channels and more brit stuff (which made me want to snog him on the spot - because... well, not many straight men do - and he is straight btw), HOUSE and loads of movies in common, Adult Swim and other obscure references we came up with. Oh and this should probably go in the religion para above, but he reads and knows about CS Lewis as well (we talked about the Narnia movie)
We sit next to each other in class and on both breaks he either asked to sit next to me or just sat there to talk - also walked out with me, but hey... we both really wanted to leave and there's only one exit to the parking lot. :D
Now comes the time when I stress about 1. Is his ease in conversing because he's not attracted to me at all 2. Even if we do hit it off, am I the kind of girl he'd bring home to mom? 3. Am I monopolizing too much of his time, smiling too much, helping too much, talking to much? 4. Do I smell and does my breath stink (especially after up and in the same clothes for almost 20 hours)?
It's also the time that I freak out because no matter what I wear and how thin I feel... I'll still be fat and me in the morning.
In work news... Training Sucks and we still have another 64 hours of it left!!!!
Put a fork in me... I'm done!
Peace!

1. I say “verbose” with the same tone I say “anal” to my other friends… With love…
2. Agnoticism: It just feels like that’s where I’m unintentionally heading. Probably Pentecostal guilt again.
3. True...
4. Relax: Yeah, I don’t know to do that… I think that at least people don’t know that I freak so that’s a blessing.
5. Thank you Shazzar!:)
