What Do You Like To Do In Your Spare Time?

So we're short staffed again here at the Concierge Desk & although I normally work mornings based on seniority, I'm stuck working the afternoon/evening shifts. Someone pass me some cheese to go with my whine ;) Truthfully it's not as horrible as you'd think...it's only 1-9pm...

heh.

So this evening it's pretty quiet at my desk. Summer days are really busy, but by the afternoon all of the guests are out and about enjoying the city....and who can really blame them? Here I stand, googling random things, thinking about Forks when a guest walks up to ask about non-touristy local restaurants. I venture to guess the guy is in his early 40's, pretty descent looking, and I mentally note the lack of a wedding ring. He compliments me on my local knowledge and asks where I'm from. I tell him I'm from here and he smiles and asks if I have a Sister, and if she's older or younger (weird.) I tell him I have a younger Sister and he proceeds to ask me if she's as cute as I am. Ok...sort of cheesy, but I smile and say "You know, she's sorta beautiful." I kid. I just said "She's pretty good-looking..." After a bit more small talk, he thanks me and is on his merry way.

About 30 min later he returns. I had a gut feeling he was about to hit on me...and instantly my defenses went up. Why? I have no idea. I think because I'm PMS-ing and feel fat & irritable. Anyways, he starts out by asking me what I like to do in my spare time. That my friends, is when I had a brain fart. Ok, maybe not a brain fart, but all I could think of was Twilight. Seriously girls....I could not think of a single thing besides either "reading Twilight," "watching Twilight movies," "writing my Twilight-related blog," "lusting after RPattz," "my up & coming trip to Forks" and "hanging out online w/ my Twilight bloggy besties"...finally I got a hold of my Twi-brain and blurted out "Um..... my BOYFRIEND & I own a condo together, and um I like to write, read and roller-blade." I must have sounded like a complete moron.






I remember when I first started dating my s/o, I always announced that I had a boyfriend in any conversation involving the male sex, but in recent years I don't feel it's a necessity...I'm not harming anyone, and if the conversation takes a turn I can always throw it in there. But for someone reason I felt compelled to blurt it out with this dude, mainly because he intimidated me.

This all got me thinking...WTF would I do if I had to date again?! Twilight has sneaked it's way into every orifice of my body. I would have to somehow re-program my brain. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating...but it's something to think about should I ever (gawd forbid) find myself having to date again. Thankfully my s/o is used to me yammering on about Twilight.

3 nights down, 3 more to go.
