So I went to the Ted Leo concert on Sunday with my friend. For those who don't know who Ted Leo & the Pharmasists are, I guess you would describe them as indie rock; think the O.C. (the t.v. show). They're not overly mellow and depressing though, more up beat and loud!!! I keep forgetting to bring my earplugs :S
I was introduced to Ted Leo (and other bands like him) through Jason (ex bf). He was suppose to go to the concert, but is in Regina until Monday night, so I decided to go. I will admit, a little part of me was hoping to see one of his friends at the concert, so they could see me with Sean (who is actually my best friend, but they wouldn't know that lol) and it would somehow get mentioned to Jason I was there with a guy....
Now, I've never picked up at a bar before, but I managed to make eye contact with this guy who didn't look like everyone else there who were mostly unshaven and grubby. *though, unshaven can be very sexy, when the rest of you looks like poop...you do too.
I complimented his shirt of the band Tool as he walked by to go outside with his friend. When he came back I asked him what his name was and for some crazy reason I asked him if he had a girlfriend. He didn't so we continued talk. I ended up driving him and his friend home. He lives with his parents just off the Ottawa River (Main St. area). $$$$ much?
Turns out....he is 19!!!!!! I thought he was at least 23. For those who don't know my history, I usually go for guys who are older, if not MUCH, older than me. He seems nice though. He doesn't do any drugs, doesn't smoke and was very polite and not cocky.
Of course I couldn't help but think about Jason though. For example, I made a joke I know Jason would have laughed at, but the guy didn't get it at all and when you have to explain it...its not funny anymore.
I am still working on the whole moving on thing. I think I'm doing alright so far!
Thanks to
