Friday was the concert in Pittsburgh with John Williams conducting the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. I can't really describe the whole thing. It was just fanfuckingtastic :D
But yesterday the really awesome stuff happened :D
Yesterday was Community Day here so there was the usual parade and fireworks. I texted James (Jimmy, see last post) to see if he wanted to come over to see the fireworks. Well of course he did :D
So I met him after he got off the interstate and he followed me into town. We had over an hour to kill so we just walked around. I thought it was sooo awkward because there would be long (to me) periods of silence, and I didn't know what to say. I kept thinking he's wasting his time here :S
When it came time for the fireworks to start we sat in the back of his truck. His rear door (hatch) swings out like a normal door instead of folding down like a pickup truck would. I sat closest to the open door which blocked the view of most of the fireworks. He offered to switch places but I said no since then he wouldn't be able to see then.
Solution: I told him to slide forward and I'd squeezed in partially behind him. After the fireworks started he leaned back so he was kinda leaning on me. He asked if he was squishing me but of course I said no, so he leaned back even further/harder. I didn't know if I should put my arm around him or not so I didn't (tons of other people around).
After the fireworks were over we stayed like that for several minutes. I told him it'd be best to wait until everyone else had gone to try and leave since it'd be virtually impossible to get out of the area the same time everyone else is. So we stayed up there for a good half hour or more in the back of his truck watching videos on his iPhone. He kept getting closer and closer to me until he was leaning against me again. I told him we better move before the police officer came through.
We went back to Dad's and sat outside on the porch swing for what seemed like forever. The awkward silence was back. Our legs kept rubbing against each other as we were swinging and he'd press it against mine, and he was leaning against me again because it was cold. I laughed and said that I feel like I should be making a move on him. To my surprise he chuckled and said, "you're funny," then he put his head on my shoulder!
:O
I felt sooo awkward not knowing what to do!
Eventually we got to where we were in each others arms and holding hands (fingers laced). I noticed an orange glow behind the trees so I took his hand and led him out to the edge of the hill that over looks the river, bridge, and valley. There was the moon glowing orange behind the fog. It looked so pretty. We continued to hold each other in the moonlight.
By this point it was nearing 3 a.m. and he still had an hour drive home ahead of him so I asked if he wanted to get going. He said he didn't want to go and he wished we lived closer. I told him I didn't want to let him go. Nevertheless we walked back up to his truck (still holding hands).
We hugged (the tightest one) once more and he started walking around to the driver's side of his truck. He turned around and said, "For the record, you have really pretty eyes." I thanked him and he left.
This is all totally surreal. I seriously cannot believe it actually happened.
If we can, we're going to meet again on Tuesday (which was originally going to be our first meeting). It'll be totally out in public so no cuddling :P And we can't stay together into the night cos I have class the next morning. But I told him maybe we could get together next weekend as well.
So we'll see...

This was the opening piece to the concert. I never heard it before then but it's pretty good.
