What a difference a day makes. I read before bed this morning. Went to sleep around 10am. I woke around 4:30pm, feeling rested. I got ready for my coffee date; very casual. It was nice outside so I walked to the meeting place (Starbucks on Main); leaving the condo around 5:30pm; I was supposed to meet Matthew at 6pm. On the way there I passed the Aut Bar and saw several friends sitting outside, and thinking I was probably going to be early for the date, happily stopped in to see them. These friends included Feelix, Sean, Drew & Dwayne - and someone I didn't know name Josh. I enjoyed chatting with them but had to go to the date.

I was a few minutes late to my date, however, so was Matthew, and so we thought it was funny that we had such perfect timing. He bought me a coffee and we sat outside talking. We tried going to Vault of Midnight but it had closed earler. We then went to the Ann Arbor Brewing Company where we had more great conversation - we have a lot in common, with many differing opinions, but I loved the conversation and the relaxed nature of it all. I walked him to this car after - which was about a mile out of my way, but had a great time and we parted around 8pm.

Soon after this I was rammed in the leg / hip from behind by a bicycle rider who swerved to miss me at the last second (on the sidewalk) and ran into a post. He then proceded to rant at me. I called him a bitch and told him to watch where he was going next time...or at least warn a person. He told me I should be careful who I call a bitch and I said FUCK YOU! - which I think actually echoed for several miles. He scurried away.

On the way home I passed Aut Bar on the off chance that my friends would still be there and surprisingly they were! I joined them, and another friend who told me his name twice yet I still don't remember it - despite him being a very nice guy. There was lots of conversation; lots of spirited debate. Loads of laughter. Later saw my friends Ryan & Jared...and met a guy named Aaron in passing. Liza was our waitress.

Michael texted me at 9:21pm:

"Dont text back. Goodnite. Hope youe date is going well. I love and miss you."

Which sort of made me grumpy but he did wish me a good date...and sent love and miss you so I think it was a good message in retrospect. My back hurts

I headed home around 11pm; cold from sitting outside and needing to walk home. The walk was chilly but relaxing. The sky was BEAUTIFUL. When I got home I had some candy and wrote this - and also discussed the night's events with Mark. Gonna show Mark a picture of Matthew, then probably take a bath. Have some real food after that.
