Question #13: What would constitute a “perfect” evening for you?
Answer: Oh gosh, I don’t know. This is not a question I think about… ever. I guess I can come up with something.
a) a perfect evening with friends
This is a hard one, only because if I’m hanging out with the right people, I’m always having a “perfect” evening. It doesn’t matter what we’re doing. Karaoke + drinks would be a good time. Singing 5 CDs of Disney songs with my roommates on my 22nd birthday was a good time. Sitting around and having a lively discussion is a good time. Playing board games/Catch Phrase is a good time. Going out to bars and NOT having to pay for a single drink would be a good time (as long as my friends got free drinks too). Again, most anything would be a good time, as long as I’m with the right people.
b) a perfect evening with my future boyfriend/husband (FBF/H)
First of all, it would have to be between 65 and 70 degrees outside. Around 7pm (because I’d be hungry), we’d go out to a nice restaurant (some type of foreign cuisine) and eat outside, because the weather is amazing. Actually, it wouldn’t have to be a nice restaurant - just somewhere that serves really good food and has outdoor seating. Anyway, my meal would definitely include broccoli, by the way (very important detail). My FBF/H and I would talk about anything and everything, because we’re just that cool. We’d finish eating and our meal would be free, because… well, it’s my perfect evening. Then, after dinner, we’d “take an old fashioned walk” - just like the Doris Day and Frank Sinatra duet. If we actually sang while we walked, I wouldn’t mind. Or if Michael Buble were somewhere close by, my FBF/H and I would stop and see him. After visiting Buble, we’d continue the old fashioned walk, just talking about whatever, and find a super awesome coffee shop to recaffeinate (not a word, by the way). Then, (finally) we’d find a place where we could just sit or lay down and stargaze for the rest of the night.
***Side note: I really love looking at the night sky (as long as it’s not filled with light pollution). I could stare at stars for hours - it’s so relaxing.
c) a perfect evening by myself
I would sing aloud like no one’s listening. All night. Regardless of where I am. Actually, I’d probably be laying down in a dark, treeless field (without creepy rapists strolling around) staring at the stars.
Yeah, that’s it. I was thinking about including my family, but anytime when we’re all together, it’s pretty perfect (in that “oh my gosh, these people are a bunch of psycho freaks - I can’t believe I’m related to them” kinda way).
