The Blind Date from Rush Hell

OK, one of my guy friends had moved away and decided to have a party so he invited me up to his new place. It was summer and a pool party so we all had a good time.

The next week after the party my guy friend called and said that one of the guys at the party had seen me there and really wanted to take me out. He described how the guy looked, but I couldn't really remember him. So I told him I wasn't interested. Well he kept on asking saying that this guy was going through a rough time and besides we could double date with he (guy friend) and his girlfriend. Plus we would be going to Six Flags, so it would be a real casual type of thing. I finally agreed to the following Sunday afternoon.

When the date day came around, I was exhausted because I had been out on two very late night/early morning dates the 2 nights before with different guys and I had a headache (and a big ol' hickey on my neck). Date came to pick me up and said that we would be meeting guy friend and his girlfriend at Six Flags instead of us all driving together. The drive was about 90 minutes. 10 minutes into the drive the guy puts in a Rush tape. There are 2 good Rush songs, Limelight and Tom Sawyer, the rest just suck IMO. Well this guy not only puts in the Rush tape but pauses between each song to explain to me the back story behind each one. When that tape was over, he put in the next one in the series. My head pounded and I gritted my teeth the whole way.

Finally we get to Six Flags, where the first thing I planned on doing was grabbing guy friend by the arm to take him aside and ask him WTH did I ever do to him that he felt he had to set me up with this guy. Well after an hour of waiting, I figured out that guy friend probably never intended on showing up. So now it's just me and Rush Freak.

I cannot say that I was the best date that day. We went on Free Fall and Rush Freak about pee'd his pants. So I made him stand in line with me and go on it again!
Later he wanted to go out to eat, but I just wanted to get home. He insisted on dinner so I ordered a bunch of food and didn't eat it. He then blasted Rush all the way home and sang his lungs out oblivious to the fact that I was about ready to puke into my shoes. When we got home I told him I had fun and shook his hand.

He called me at least 3 times after that, wanting to go out again because he had so much fun!!
