Arcade games and no touchy

The movie Avatar has been in theaters for sometime and has been doing very well. People who have seen it say it is really good. My date last night took me to see this movie and it was good but but I felt it to be longer than it needed to be. It was two and a half hours long, that is a long time to be sitting in a movie theater. I am not into the big chase scenes and the violence. I am sure that is to please the male factor in the audience. But other than that, it was good. The movie is an updated version of Pocahontas for the Y2K generation.

First the date started at a popular pizza and arcade place. He likes to play video games and it seems his intellect may not be any broader than that. We met there, I was starving since I had spent all day in the ceramics lab at school I didn't have time for lunch. The pizza was good too. :)

He may spend a lot of time playing video games at home but I kicked his but at air hockey and table soccer. It was good exercise playing those games for an hour. Another thing, part of the method to my madness was to keep him at a distance away. With him across a big game table he wouldn't be able to try and rub my back. *Shivers* Every chance he had, he would try to rub my back. If I walked next to him, he would reach over and rub my back and the same if I sat next to him. No touchy! I would intentionally walk fast so he couldn't do that. I also made sure not to initiate and physical contact like no hugging, no touching his hand or arm, no little punches to the shoulder, none of that. I could see he was handy enough and didn't want to encourage it. The theater had wide seats so I sat all the way to the other side of my seat to make sure there wasn't any chance of an arm being put around me.

Anytime I would say anything to start a conversation he would just say "Yup." Is that even a word? "Yup." "Yup." "Yup." That was his response to nearly everything. This guy is definitely from Wisconsin. No offence to you Wisconsinites reading this. But if you have dated a man from Wisconsin, then perhaps you know what I am talking about. I am sure he was probably just nervous though.

It was late, 10:30 by the time the movie was over. I went home and was surprised around 11:20pm when I received a phone call from the guy. He was "Just checking to make sure you made it home alright." That was nice because the weather was terrible. the fog was so thick driving home, it was like having Stevie Wonder drive.
