So as I count down the time until I go meet a local guy I met online, I can't help but get horribly nervous as everybody tells me this is a bad idea. We've all heard the stories: muggings, rapes, tragic accidents. Stuff like that. We all know this crazy, crazy world is filled with crazy, crazy people. I have faith in humanity though, and a sense of adventure. Hopefully that's all I'll need today.

...I'll be honest, I'm pretty scared. I'm meeting him at a mall, and then we're gonna go to a hookah bar. Not partaking in any of the hookah, I hope I'm not a downer. Tabacco, flavored or otherwise is not my thing. Dad is a kind of awfully against it, but I'm not a child, and he's letting me make my choices. Momma is okay with it, but she's nervous as well. They keep doubting my street smarts. Ah well, in that aspect, they're right: one can never be too careful.

The guy's name is Jason. He's twenty, a mix between African American and Latino. I met him on craiglist (I know, not the best of places.) I like to peruse the adds every now and then, but his ad caught my eye. We've talked for a while, and though there was some shadiness going on at first, I'm hoping it all goes well.

So yeah...nervous. I guess I felt the need to spit out those feelings and put them somewhere. Like my tumblr...or FA. I know not a lot people will read this, but still, wish me luck.
