Krazy in Korea

Oh man! Last Saturday I had a date with Pete. I was really looking forward to it seeing as our last couple of dates had been fun adventures not to mention I was going to finally try some Korean food.

Well I have been super stressed for my midterms next week and have been sleeping very little. So I was doing my best to muster up some energy to go out but I was not being so successful. I was a tad on the cranky side in general but it was going by the way side as I was excitedly getting ready to go out.

We planned on him coming by at 7pm...however 6:30pm I get a text saying he running late (which isn't so unusual-we joke about how we both are always late-not to mention its just me sitting in my apt so no harm done). But this time his text said he'll be here at 8pm. 8:15pm comes and I'm starting to fall asleep on my couch so I text him if he is close and he calls saying that he didn't sleep much the night before (he works the night shifts during the week) so he took a nap and didn't hear his alarm. He apologized profusely and I joked that it was fine just get here because I'm starving and falling asleep on the couch.

He finally arrives and we drove to Flushing to have the "best Korean food"...and thank goodness it was amazing! We had these great potato pancakes and this great sauteed meat. I had no idea that Korean food came with all these little plates of toppings of vegetables, spices, fruit, and all this crazy stuff to mix with the meat. Peter showed me how to make this little baby burritos with lettuce and all the topping stuffed in there. I must have said yum like a million times!

We were being our silly old-selves which was fun but then there were some awkward moments. For example...I was trying to compensate for my lack of energy by telling some funny stories. So I told him about how our neighbors pay for our electric. I think that story is hysterical...however he thought it was kinda mean of us not to tell them. I was a bit surprised and tried to slightly justify myself but then quickly dropped the subject. There was even some confusion about paying the check...eek!

We left dinner at 11:45pm and heading into the city to this bar called Lit. It is this dark funky bar downtown. We were canoodling and chatting but then we found seats to cozy up in. I saw him yawning and I was really trying to hold mine in. After we both milked our beers for an hour or so we decided to leave.

We messed around more in his car in front of my apt, he said he would call me this week, and I ran for my bed!

I had a really good time just not an amazing time like all the other dates so I'm chalking it up to lack of sleep.

He just called today and thank goodness with both of us well rested....the witty banter was back in full effect :)
