LIFE IN YELLOW

A Day Full of Rainbows


Well, if I had been in a kissing mood yesterday, I could have set a record. Three in one day. Luckily, I wasnÕt like that and I didnÕt kiss anyone, but there were some exciting impasses. (I think IÕm going to just refer to these boys as their color. It will keep things more anonymous just in case, and if you know youÕre colors youÕll understand them better than just by their names.)


Anyway, Red didnÕt have to work at his second job yesterday, so we decided to do dinner. I got off work at six, and he rode his bike over to escort me home so we could do the food thing. Well, he was a little earlier than six, and I wasnÕt quite all the way closed yet. As he was waiting outside while I did the final money stuff and locking up, I saw someone walking toward the door on the other side of the store. It was Blue! That was really surprising, because he has never come to pick me up without calling first. I hurried outside to make sure things would be completely civil when Red and Blue crossed each otherÕs paths. To my great fortune, everything was ok. Red even asked me if I wanted to ride home with Blue. No way, I was having dinner with Red tonight! They were totally nice to each other and we all discussed our plans for the fourth of July. Blue had gotten off work late, and said he saw me as he was driving by so he decided to stop. IÕm sure it caught him off guard that Red was there, because he know Red usually works. But they both have big enough guy egos that they both think I like them better, which is pretty amusing.


So on the way home with Red I got a phone call reminding me of a plans I had made. At the pool party on Monday we talked about getting together to play RISK. Since I didnÕt know where the girl lived who was hosting the game, it had been decided that Boy #4 would pick me up since it was on his way. Interesting again! (BTW, it has been confirmed. Boy #4 is definitely yellow. He knows the color code, and said so himself.) So I had dinner here with Red, and he was still here when Yellow came over to pick me up. I think I half-invited Red to come play, but he isnÕt a fan of RISK, and besides he was nearing the end of a good book and at the I-donÕt-want-to-put-it-down stage. So I felt no guilt coming home with Red and leaving with Yellow.


RISK was a lot of fun. Yellow is definitely a big flirt, both in words and actions. When it was getting late, we took turns laying on each others laps etc. while waiting for our turn. Neither of us took over the world, but we were two of the three strong contenders early in the game. It was obvious the other two girls werenÕt going to win, which actually ended up being my biggest mistake. I was too comfortable being surrounded by one of them, that it became too late for me to really contend in the game. When we were all tired and wanted to go home, I decided to just help the speed of the game, and ran a suicide mission taking as much of the other two girls out as I could so the serious wars could get going. Yellow kept tickling me and laughing at my jokes, and gave me a hug at the end of the night. I think I decided last night that I wonÕt kiss him, because I really like our friendship and I think that would take it to an irreparable weird place.


So tonight I headed out for fireworks and dancing with Red. WeÕre going to have fun! IÕve spent most of the day in bed so far, and decided it was finally time to get off my lazy rear. I canÕt upload this for a while though, because my roommate for some insane reason is working on a holiday, and using the internet. Oh well. IÕll report about fireworks with Red later.
