as i stopped by to drop off his dvd on the way to meet another friend for couple drinks before calling it an early night, we had the following exchange in front of one of his coworkers and a growing friend, while his arm was around my shoulder.
me: thanks for letting me borrow this. like i said on the phone it is good.
him: no problem. you sticking around tonight?
me: nope, just wanted to swing by and drop this off so you could return it on time before i head out.
him: were are you off to tonight? who are you meeting up with?
this coworker gives him a strange and surprised look
him: not like it is any of my business... but just curious.
me: with a slight chuckle im heading down to silky's or somewhere in that part of town for a couple drinks.
him: ah. silky's. he walked away
coworker: where is silky's? why did he react like that?
of course i later texted him to tell him that i in fact ended up at gooski's and going to the end of the polish hill festival than early to bed. his response.... i fuckin love gooski's.

for the past week he has been continually telling me that he doesn't take me for granted. and that no matter what he wants me to know that he appreciates everything that i do and who i am in his life. and that even "in his ignorant moments" he doesnt take me for granted. im not sure why there is such a drive as of late to make sure i know this. makes me wonder what is going on in his head.
--------------------------
this weekend there were three moments that stuck with me involving him and his close friends making sure that i knew certain things.
1). standing outside the bar while i was checking ids and talking with his close friend and my close friend about marrying for nontraditional motivations (health care, immigration, etc). my friend said that she would most likely sleep with someone if she was married to them for three years for their immigration even if she wasn't interested because they were married after all. his friend chimes in passionately that he knows people who haven't slept with someone but have been married for three year so that they can be a citizen. this of course was a direct reference to him and his situation. it was quite hilarious that his friend kept making a point for me to know that they had not slept together. and perhaps more than anything interesting.
2). at the end of the night with the temps up and running around he had taken off his tshirt (which btw was one that i bought for him and that he wears nearly weekly which of course being a girly girl makes me feel happy) and was running around in a wife beater. his coworker/friend more than once highlighted the level of curl in his chest hair and joked about him needing relaxer for it...and then made a point of saying to him and i, "its a good thing you arent getting laid right now man." interesting to have noted again.
3). as we all sat downstairs in the basement of the lounge smoking - his two best friends began their usual routine. it became the two of them highlighting something about his behavior or background that they think is funny and i should know. the full session of blast while i just sat back and tried to contain my laughter while watching the three of them interact. that night's topic of conversation - "his tendency to speak in riddles." couldnt have said it better myself.
as i write these i realize they are only things that an over thinking chick like myself would even track or remember this craziness.... i feel like im trying to build a case constantly. and more so, i feel like this idea of not having a relationship strictly based on physical interaction is something i am still getting the hang of.
