sh(ow)case.

wow. the showcase is rapidly approaching, and we are nowhere near ready. i had coffee with the head of last year's promo group, and she had my head spinning. ow. it's okay. i WILL do everything i need to do research-wise this weekend and then knock things off next week. we won't be too terribly behind...

enough of that. on to more interesting things... so, ricardo. listen to these exchanges, faithful readers, and then tell me he's not interested in banging me. 

the past weds in jiu-jitsu:

- i'm stretching with catherine, and we are very close with her leg up, blah blah, it's a compromising position for this kind of complicated stretch. so i'm kind of like 'is this it? do you feel it?' and ricardo starts giggling (he was GIGGGLING! like me! omfggg) and he looks at me and says 'you know you know what to do.' and i was like, 'excuse me?' (because, seriously, WHAT?!) and he repeats himself while staring into my eyes 'i know you know what to do.' okayyyy so he's maybe flirting with me..? read on.

- then i'm stretching and catherine is on top of me and i notice she keeps looking over to her side. so finally i'm like 'what?' and she's like 'sorry i'm so distracted because ricardo is staring at you.' so i turn my head and start talking to him. then catherine asks him where he lives and he says a few blocks from here (the gym where we jiujitsu) and i say 'oh yeah me too' then he says 'so we're neighbors' and i say 'yeah' then he says 'you should come over sometime' so i'm like 'yeah' then he's like 'oh i guess that would be sexual harassment' and i'm like 'no it's only sexual harassment if...' and he's like 'you know if a teacher and student...' and there's a beat. he walks away.

- okay, so things are heating up, but here's the kicker. nick and i are sparring and joking around and nick goes 'hey ricardo we should do fights like in red belt (david mamet movie that ricardo is in) where someone is, like, disabled. like their arm is tied behind their back or they can't use their legs or something.' then ricardo says (while staring into my eyes again ugh why so sexy?) 'yeah like i could blindfold meredith.' (OHMYGODAMAZING) and so i say 'uh that would be an exercise in trust.' then he says ' and i could tie you up to this fence' and i reply 'this is turning into something else.' beat. beat. he walks away. nick says 'oh my god he loves you.'

soooo then he wants the details for the party on saturday. i give him my address and phone number... so like he could call me or drop by whenevs. we are, after all, neighbors. i'm tempted to email him and tell him to bring mamet to the party. mostly as an excuse to email him but also cause i really wanna hang with mamet. bahhh okay i'll do it. now. while i'm feeling impulsive. what else to say before i sign off to write the sexiest man ever. um not much else. 

recap (in case you want to know what is happening in my life but the length of this post and/or the constant reference to a hot man intimidates you): showcase is rapidly approaching, and i feel way behind. ricardo wants me, and i want him. man, what else is there?
