So, I am finally coming to the term of getting over Bryan. I may only have some scars to tend to, but I know in my heart that I will become stronger and have more faith in finding the right person.
Which brings me to the next topic: Hank. Hah.
Many of you may think I might be rushing into things, but I don't think I am. I've known Hank for a while, and I'd like to have him in my life. He loves Broadway as much as I do, and enjoys going to see shows. In fact, he makes a career by being a Satellite High School drama instructor. I always smiled when he spoke of his experience with his students.
Of course, the age thing is a bit too much for me. I always dated guys around my age, and I never dated anyone further than 10 years. But Hank is 37 years old. He is 13 years older than I am.
I must sound like a prick, but I'm just not used to liking someone that much older than me. I know that age is just a number, but with age is experience & wisdom, which leads to what we have in common and what we don't. Personally, I'd like to date someone with a few things in common, but still different enough to make him interesting. However, I feel like he may be a bit TOO different, but we will see. I don't plan to drop him like a hot potato at this moment. But if I don't feel anything, then he will only be a friend.
So...hopefully this is a new chapter for me. As Betty Buckley always put it: A new day has begun.
In other news, I am excited for this weekend. "Mamma Mia!" comes out, and it has been a long-time favorite musical of mine. I never saw the show until last year at the King Center, but I always enjoyed the cast recording. This musical is fun, upbeat, and entangled with a comedic story that will warm the hearts. Not to mention, ABBA songs are included as musical numbers, and who doesn't love ABBA!? I plan to see this movie with my mother, my interpreter from BCC, and my mother's best friend. Although I don't have much faith in the men of this movie (I actually heard Pierce Brosnan's voice and it's not exactly the best thing on the planet...) but I will definitely enjoy Meryl Streep's voice!
In addition to more goodies: I will be taking a vacation for the following weekend. My deaf friends and I decided to request the time off from work to go on a 3-day trip to Islands of Adventure, Busch Gardens, and the new SeaWorld waterpark, Aquatica. I can only hope that no worries will get in the way and that nothing will beat our fun in this weekend getaway. It will just be the four of us guys, kicking back and relaxing while having fun on the rides. It will be nice because I surely can use this after over 5 years of no vacation! I cannot wait!
