I Can Too Cook or Lee's Key Turning Troubles

So last night I decided to make a little dinner type of thing for Terena. I actually planned it and everything! I had mentioned that one of the things that I am pretty good at cooking was "death" spaghetti. Which is essentially just spicy spaghetti. So I offered to cook for her, what with it being her birthday on Thursday and all. I went all out! I made the sauce from scratch... well sort of. I used a tin of crushed tomatoes, but I added all the other stuff in myself! Oh and by the way, I hate electric can openers... They confound me! So anyway, I had a mixture of: Carrots, Red and Yellow Peppers, Onions, Mushrooms, Cashews, Celery, and Broccoli combined with a sauce containing curry, cayenne, pepper, banana peppers, oregano, and this weird chilli oil thingy we have. I also used cooking wine this time. All in all, it didn't turn out as spicy as normal, but it seemed to be pretty good. Terena didn't get sick, so that's pretty awesome. I also had made some Caesar salad, picked up some fresh French bread, and even bought a red velvet cake from the Salisbury house (ok my Mom bought it, but still). All in all, I think the food portion of the evening went really well. (No vocal complaints at least!) After that, we decided to watch "The Cat's Meow" the last of the 7 movies I rented that I had not seen. I liked it for the most part. It was mostly interesting because of the characters. They were all real celebrities from the early days of film. Charlie Chaplin, Marion Davies, William Randolph Hearst, etc. It was neat to see them in a context apart from the surviving historical ones. While the story may or may not be true, it made for an entertaining little flick. I wouldn't say it was the best movie ever or anything, just a decent way to spend an hour and 45 minutes. Terena was tired and ended up falling asleep in my arms. That put a slight damper on any "not watching the movie" I might have been up for. Ah well, such is life. Then at about midnight, I get a call from Lee who was begging me to come pick him up from work as his key would not work in the ignition of his car. He didn't have to beg, I would've helped him out in a heartbeat. But it's fun to make people think that you are being put out (sometimes). So with Terena in tow, we went off the the AOV to pick up Lee (rhyme!). Gratefulness abounded although Lee was kinda ticked off about some other goings on in his life. His plans of going to England for the next two years hit a little snag as his co-traveler was not allowed into the country! Maybe she is a terrorist??? Ahhh, I'm sure it'll work out fine, and then I won't see the dude for 2 years... Who will I talk 80's wrestling with??? :( Anyway, once depositing him at his parents, I returned to my place with Terena as she had to be going, what with working in the morning and all. She made a pre-emptive apology for anything she might do on Saturday night (her birthday bash) as she said she is terrible at holding her liquor and says and does things that she doesn't mean. Would that be a good sign then? The fact that she is worried about me getting upset if her drunken behavior veers off into certain territories?? Does that mean that she thinks that we might be able to go somewhere with whatever it is we have right now? I would be interested in pursuing a relationship with her at this point. She is great to be around and talk to (which is a MUST for me) and the fact that she is super hot is not a deterrent at all either :) Hopefully I don't screw it all up or something. I am so lame that whenever I think about this subject I find some wood to knock on in the hopes that it will prevent anything from derailing the possible train I am on right now. It's pretty silly I know... Oh well.... I should probably get going and doing something constructive today, like take my U of W application thingy in...
