Mexican Wrestling!

So I just found out that Singles Awareness Day (or SAD) is on Valentines Day! It's a total joke! It's so crazy and I just found out there was some random pillow fighting going on in downtown SF too! Ahhw, I wish I could've been there! Sounds like a good way to meet someone or just beat the shit out of some guy which is usually what I do when I drink anyway. I don't know why but I feel so powerful when I drink that I think I can "beat up boys." Then the next morning all my muscles are sore and aching. I don't know where I get the energy or if it's something chemical. I hope what Maya says is true. I was driving her and Toddy to the airport yesterday and she said "Maybe we can start the wrestling events again" they used to choose a house and have "Mexican style wrestling" at someone's house which could be somewhat physical and intrusive. But I love the idea cause no one could challenge us the three sisters...we are dangerous force to be dealt with. Man, I'm gonna need to workout my arms and legs if I want to achieve the death grip on some dude.

Valentine's Day

This story is ridiculous but true. I just met this Asian guy in my acting class. He kept asking me to go out for a drink or for a movie but I was so tired from working all week. Plus he didn't know that I had a daughter yet. I finally accepted his invitation after plans with Claudia to go salsa dancing fell through. I arrived late after dropping off Bella at the sitter. He had bought the movie tickets already and was waiting for me. He greeted me with a dozen roses. I said "Oh, I wasn't expecting that!" And he said "Well it's Valentine's Day" Then ten minutes into the movie, he reaches for my hand and gives me a death grip! I slowly, for what seemed like an eternity, started to loosen my fingers away from his. He caught me by surprise! what a way to take advantage of someone unwilling! Then I crossed my fingers with both hands and sat uneasily while trying to enjoy the movie. Then 20 minutes into the movie, he grabs my hand again, but this time I decided to take his hand right back to his lap! I needed to let him know I didn't like that or at least just indicating for him to keep his hands to himself. I thouroughly enjoyed the movie "Benjamin Button" it was rather touching yet sad at the end. We exit the Theater and guess what?! He asks me if I had dinner yet and if I was hungry. I just told him I needed to pick up my daughter because she was at the sitter. He said "Wow, you have a daughter?" And I said "Yeah I do, and I'm a single mother." Then he said "No wonder you said you are so busy and tired."
