Happy Birthday To ME... And Kristin...

An avid reader got to meet me in Person!

Ok.. So its just Krista, and she was drinking

The weekends have proven to be my highlights of this blog, and avid readers. I will not let you down from this weekend!

Well lets see, Mat and I decided to give things a try, yet again! My options for the weekend were to head to Halifax to catch some of the Buskers since I still have a free Friday night at a Delta. or I could go toFrederiction and spend the weekend with Mat. I choose to head west and vist with Mat.

I took off Friday after work, got to see his new place. He told me he was very excited that I was able to come up and he was glad to see me, as was I. We went to the Blue Door for supper, it was a great meal. I offered to pick up the tab (We have a habit of bouncing the tab back and forth, so I was okay with it) The rest of the options for the night were to go out and dance a little or just hang out at home. We decided to go to the liquor store and pick up a few things. In the log run we decided to relax at his place and have a bit of wine we were both tired and he mentioned we could go out on Sat night.

Saturday morning, I awoke to Mat with a pensive look in his eyes... Saying "Kyle, so, I've been thinking...." To which my reply was "Yes..... about...."

Where he decides to tell me, "I don't think this is really what I am looking for" and he had thought obout it for a few days... BUT let me drive to Frederiction... and pay for dinner.. OH OH... It gets good.... "So, do you want to go for Breakfast anyway?!" My CHRIST... When I realize or have the idea someone is a nutbar I should stick with my initial thoughts!

So I headed home Sat AM. Made a few phone calls, some of the girls I went to High School with were going to be in town so I made some plans to catch up with them, and Martin came along as well :)

The night was grand lots of laughs, Mar didn't have such a good night. So I devoted my Sunday to cheering him up.. We drove aimlessly around, ended up at Jost, talked a lot, picked up some food in Amherst to bring homeand cook, watched Shooter, and a bit of Family guy and came home and crashed out!

Now, I am posting this, going to toss a few images here and up on Facebook and Kristin and I are giong to have a Birthday afternoon! She's 29 today and I'm 26! Woo

Vacation starts today - So hopefully I keep busy and have a few more things to update ya'll with!

Misunderstandings?

Tuesday, bloody Tuesday....


Lesley, a girl I used to work with AGES ago, likely around 7 when we were still MITI was in town (We still keep in touch) so her and I went out to dinner last evening at Kramers (Bad idea, it did wonders on my system!) We caught up on the goings on in our lives and ended the evening with a Starbucks drink :)



Today was a relatively busy day at work. I am assigned some of my time to Kristin's current project she's PMing and its keeping me busy busy the last few days, but busy is good :) Mid way through the day I logged into my hotmail and saw I had an Email from Mat...... At the time I was talking with Kristin on internal MSN.... I was nervous to open the message... After her coaxing and her desire to know what was in the message I clicked on it.



The message was generic, written in french. Giving me his new work Email address, his new home phone (Which is Rogers I might add.... He loses points for that!) and his street address in Fredericton. So I replied to his Email and said I'd give him a ring tonight to chat.



We spoke on the phone for about 20 minutes, it was a pretty generic conversation, and I wanted to broach the subject about what happened on Sunday - But didn't. After the call ended I sent him a text message off, asking if he would be interested to go to Halifax to see the Buskers this weekend - 30 seconds later my phone rang. He wasn't too sure about going to the Buskers because he intended on staying in Fred for the weekend, but did invite me there. So I thought it was a good opportunity to braze the subject about Sunday's events.



We both seriously misunderstood each other, he took the fact of me going to the bar as throwing in the towel and not being interested (Which we all know wasn't the case) and I took him being possessive over me where really he was assuming I was throwing the towel in and he was a little hurt.



We both exchanged some very honest and open conversation about things, and got a clearer picture of things.



My food arrived and Mat was getting hungry, so we decided to put the conversation on hold and I am going to call him back in a few hours and we'll pick things up..... Looking positive again :)

Help is on the way...

So, apparently my life is hard to follow at times. I talk about a lot of people in my blog, and I confuse my avid readers.

So I have devised a viso diagram of the interconnections at the suggestion of a reader.

Green Boxes - Dates/Relationships

Orange Boxes - Fictional Characters

Red Connections - How I met that person

As I introduce new people into my blog, I will be sure to post an updated version of "The 6 degrees of Kyle" You should be able to click here to view the full scale image.

A Little Nutty Maybe?!

I sure do have a thing for eventful weekends, it is some what impressive if I look at my last two. I believe if my summer continues I will take my blog and sell it to a movie writer to craft something up for "The Saga of..."

So Saturday AM I was pretty lazy all day and just bummed around the apt for a while, went out for some lunch and a coffee, watched some TBS movies. I also had sent Martin a message on Facebook, as Dawn and I had noticed that he hadn't been online in quite sometime, just checking if he was alive. Mid afternoon I phoned Phil and Shel to see what they were up to, of course, they were working on their kitchen. I suggested we go out for a drink after they finished up. I layed on the couch for a little while showered, and headed across the river. Before I left I got a call from Mat, he was telling me about his move and asked what my plans were for the evening.

Once at Phil and Shel's we decided we'd BBQ and have a couple of beer. Great, I love some BBQ and Beer. Hung out there until shortly after 9 and went home as I was half falling asleep in their chair. Once home I decided I might consider another beer, but the thought of drinking alone frightened me :( I was MSNing my buddy Todd, who also had two beer in him and was considering another, however was drinking alone as well. We decided to remedy that situation and drink at my place together to remove the "Drinking Alone" issues. We had a great time, tossed back a few beer, talked about Shirley Phelps (Go look the bitch up on you tube) We then decided we'd go to "The bar" for some dancing. Off we trekked, upon arrival I needed to pee like a race horse and Todd needed the bank machine. We decided to meet up at the ATM after my pee break. However, when I left the washroom I walked around the bar about 3 times and couldn't find Todd for the life of me, the panic of being at "The Bar" alone started to freak me out a little so I high tailed it outa there and walked home after spending 6 bucks on cover for being there 10 Minutes :( OH WELL!

Sunday morning I clung to my bed for a while and was awoken by my cell phone buzzing across my night stand - A facebook message, goodness I can't ignore that! So I log in, and had two messages from Martin. One explaining he was alive, and the other wishing we still kept in touch as he needed my ear. Two seconds later, he popped on MSN. We exchanged a few messages and decided we'd go for a drive to catch up on the last two weeks of our lives. The drive went well, we both had a lot to tell each other about the goings on in our lives and it was well needed. After and hour and a half I came home and got a call from Dawn asking me if I wanted to go to the beach! Absolutely! (Pictures to follow)

In my preparations for the beach Mat called me on my cell, I asked him about his first night in the new city. He told me he had a good night, he went out to "The Bar" in Fredericton with a buddy of his (Who he admittedly told me last week was quite interested in him, no matter I am okay with that) After explaining his night he asked me about mine. I told him about Phil & Shels, the bar with Todd. A silence came over the line... He was bothered by the fact that I went to Triangles, and questioned me on it. I started to think, you have to be kidding me right? You just told me YOU went to the gay bar in Fred with a boy who wants you and you're upset I went out here?! The math doesn't add up.... He then asked me what we were, so I explained I didn't really know as I got those mixed signals and assumed it was really nothing since he wasn't interested in a long distance thing. So he then explained his concern about me going out in Moncton, without him and that he guessed this was it!

WOW - NUTTY is all I have to say!

Headed out to the beach with Dawn, stopped for Clams at the Rendez-Vous (They upset my tummy :( ) Around 6 we ventured back into Moncton.

So, I got home, chatted with Martin for a while on MSN and he was quite concerned about some things going on in his life so I advised him he wasn't staying at home and he and I were going for a beer. We had a drink or two at Rouge, then went to the Old Triangle for a few more, had all kinds of conversation about things and realized we can't not be friends. Headed home around Midnight and crashed out.

Monday was a generic day, I went for a drive around Moncton with Serge, had some beaver tails and saw the most beautiful building lots in Moncton (Pictures will come tonight) Dawn called me in the afternoon and we decided to head to an early show and caught The Bourne Ultimatum - Great movie!

Then last night, I stopped into the office to chat with Carrie, tell her all about my weekend and enlighten her on the Phelps stuff on the Internet.

So, my weekend in 10,000 words or less..... A little nutty!!!

Sunshine, Lollipops & Rainbows....

Well... Sunshine, Beer and Dinner?

Friday.... I took a vacation day, to which I woke up at 7:30 am... Oh well, I watched a little bit of discovery, and just relaxed. Dawn MSN'd me mid morning and invited me over to soak up some of the wonderful sun on her deck that afternoon, so I packed up my supplies, and headed over.

Yea, its SPF 8, and I really didn't get that much color. We sat outside for about 3 hours chatting away and catching some of the great sun that showed up for the day!



Then we headed off to Costco to pick up some chicken boobs, and Canadian Tire to hunt down a lawn mower for Dawn. The boob run was successful, the lawn mower has been post poned.


Then around 7:30ish Mat came into town, and we ran over to the mall to pick up a few of the pictures I had printed for him of the previous day at the Dunes. We decided to have dinner at Pastalli on the patio, great idea it was a wonderful evening. The wine was good, the food was splendid. After dinner we came back here and sat and chatted for a while. Then the reality of things started to sink in a little. All the greatness of this week was going to come to a screeching halt after he left tonight, the Uhaul was packed and he was scheduled to hit the road around 7:30 Saturday morning.


The song of the evening was 1973, by James Blunt. Mat got me to Download it and put it on Repeat :P


We layed on my bed and talked, he confuses me a little from time to time. I get the impression he is very interested in me. Then he'll tell me he isn't interested in a long distance relationship. However, the next line would be he wants to see where things go and where life takes us. He isn't ready to jump just yet (Which is fine, nor am I) I just am not sure what he is thinking, are things going to continue?

The boy made my eyes well up (although he didn't see and doesn't know) We layed on my bed, listening to 1973 over and over. Then he started to list off things he liked about me the qualities I had that made him smile and be attracted to me, as he is going through them the reality slid back in. I met someone who I feel fits really well with me, makes me smile, is attractive. But, alas, is leaving town permanently.

I've made a conscious choice again, I am disappointed he's left town, but, if things are meant to be, they will be. I am not going to let myself get overly upset over the present. I met someone really great and had a window of opportunity to get to know him which I think I used quite well.

Hopefully I get to Fredericton to visit over August :)

The Dunes & Ice Cream

So Thursday night, we decided to have supper at a bistro in Shediac. It was grand :) Then we drove out to Cocagne, left my car at his place and went off to the Dunes.

The Dunes turned into a photo shoot and he loves being infront of my camera LOL. FINALLY SOMEONE who likes it! Then we headed into a tiny little ice cream shop in Bouctouche. I made the mistake of picking the line with the family of 30 who were ordering and the mother kept telling the kids they did want sparkles on their ice cream. Mathieu is a bad influence and I had a hard time to keep myself from giggling like a little girl HAHA.


We drove to the Marina to finish off our ice cream and watch all the local drug deals going down. Then we took a drive back to Cocagne, and no joke down a road called "Lovers Lane" how cliche. We attempted to sit in the beach, however the flies had a different opinion :(

It was a great night, very easy to laugh and talk to, I am really enjoying this! Hopefully it will continue!

Here I am. Home for the night :) See some of the pics from the shoot below!

These two are my favorites!

I don't do so well on this side of the camera!!!! :(

Greatness... Superfantastic Even!

So, I have started an addiction to people wanting to be on the "in" and knowing whats going on in my life, rather, The Saga of....

Yesterday was a pretty standard day looking the office, and what I accomplished. After work I thought back to some of the conversation that Mat and I had and remembered him mentioning that he looooove choclate. So, as most of you know how kind I am (HA!) I went and bought some Godiva choclates to kiss ass a little, I also went and replenished some of my missing wine from my rack.

On my way back home Mat called to let me know he was on his way back from Frederiction and would be in Moncton shortly before 7. We decided to go to dinner, so I had time to take a run shower and get ready.

----------

Really, I am sorry as I continue this story because it is hardly as eventful as my weekend - But some of you are pushing for an update!

----------

He picked me up (Yes, he even has a car - I hooked a keeper thus far!) and we headed off to dinner. Random conversation over dinner about his day, the jerk starts a new Job with the Provincial Gov, and scored his own office.... With walls.... and a door... AND a window.... I belive I told him I hoped a pipe burst in it over the weekend :) LOL - Someday I will have a window! SOMEDAY!

After dinner, we headed back to my place, and all we did was sit on my couch talked about anything and everything and had a few glasses of wine. (The great thing is the conversation is really easy..it doesn't feel like a struggle) Also, I am getting a chance to practice my French, I was encouraged to speak French for the evening. His Niece and Nephew both currently only speak French and it is important to him that if things did go further that I am able to (Isn't that the sweetest thing...Such a nice uncle) Around 10:30 he realized his Mom would be wondering how is day in Frederiction went, so he phoned her to tell her he was going to stay over with me :) since he had a few glasses of wine, which also gave us the opportunity to finish off the bottle.

Not an extreemly eventful night, but I am pleased with the outcome. This afternoon when I leave work I am going to give him a ring and maybe head out to Cocagne for a bit this evening.

Now... The twist of the day, which I don't believe I have mentioned yet. The position he starts on Tuesday is with the provincial Gov't therefore is located in Frederiction, so Suzanne, maybe you and I will get to do lunch more often if I visit!

PS - Gussy was in NFLD! For those of you who are interested I believe there is a photo circulating of him flashing the harbor in St. John's, I'll see if I can aquire a copy of it. Those of you reading this who are unaware who Dr. Gussy Gregg Gustovin III is, my advice to you is not to ask and pretend you are none the wiser!

Dr Gussy In the flesh (This is a picture from one of the many trips we've had to the wonderful port city, when Gus has surfaced after bangin the hookers up by Chipman Hill Suites and tired to get a free room at the Delta)
