Oh my, what a fun day today.
Well, let’s start with last night. It was Kevin’s birthday. For some reason I avoided Sam. I was tired of making so much effort to get closer to him. Also I realized that everyone loved him too and that made me not want to make such a big effort.
We went out to dance. I looked good in makeup, black tank, dark grey warp skirt and long wavy blond hair.
Kent was really nice to me as usual. He got me some jager. I have to say I was hooked. I did not feel tired at all! And I woke up feeling pretty awesome!
The music was fun. The band was very talented. The “DJ” was playing from his laptop as well beating drums. The other two members were playing all sorts of musical instruments I’ve never seen.
Sam joined us at La Parada later on. I avoided him a bit. I didn’t like that Michelle was all over him. I’m not the only person who thought he was funny. Many people are attracted to him. Guys and girls.
I’ve never been so attracted to someone who isn’t very good looking. But he is so funny. I’m laughing so hard when with him. He makes me wonder if I should find someone who makes me laugh this hard all the time.
So today, we went wine tasting. I ignored him again. But, when we had to hop on buses, I made sure that I got on the same bus as him. It’s always fun when he is there.
We were a big group of 50 people! Half are Wifi Tribe, half are from all over. Some were from Nomad meetup group.
We laughed lots on the bus. A non-triber was on the bus with us, so we asked to hear his life story. It turned out to be painfully detailed. But we had fun mocking him lol.
When he said he was from Black Forrest, Germany, Sam asked if it was enchanted and if it had tiny pterodactyls. He was referencing the trip we took to the botanical garden. We call many of the sites “enchanted”, including the toilets. He had asked me something about my favorite thing to ride I think. I said a pterodactyls. It was another fun day. Of course only I got the joke. So I felt special.
We had 3 wineries today. At the first one, Sam and Robert sat together and I sat across from them. I ended up talking to Sam the most. We were bored with drinking and noticed that there was an inflated castle nearby. We left our bags with Robert, and we went to play on the castles.
It was honestly the funnest part of the day. We were like two little kids. We went through all of the inflated structures. At the end we were racing towards the finshing point. We play fought a bit, trying to slow each other down. He grabbed my waist and pulled me down. I can’t remember what I did to him. I didn’t do much because I didn’t want to flirt. But it was super fun.
I can’t believe we were spending time together like this. I really like him. And I think he likes me too.
There was a market too. I bought a box of 29 magic tricks. It was R200 but the guy made me laugh so much I had to buy it. Also I wanted to learn how to do those tricks!
I think I thoroughly entertained the bus by showing them the magic trick box I bought. Haha. I love myself. I’m so fun and unique ahaha.
The second winery was beautiful. It’s a resort hotel at the same time. It has beautiful chandeliers and barrels. Sam, Ashley and I stood around the wine barrel and sipped wine. We laughed so much. Every wine reminded Sam of a lover or a sailor or some forbidden love. Hahah. I can’t help but wonder if he was referring to us. I wonder if he knows that I have a boyfriend. I think he does.
Ashley mentioned that Robert had guessed that she was 33. I told them that I was 37. Sam was quite surprised. But nothing changed, I don’t think. He liked me more if anything. It seemed. (But later tonight I learned that he is 26! Holy shit. Not sure what to think of that. I know we can never work with this age gap. Then again, we can’t work just anyway. I have Alex.)
We hung out in the courtyard for a bit. Sam and I looked at a tree and I dared him to climb it. He actually did! But it was hard to climb. I jumped up to try to reach the chestnuts. He run-jumped and reached them. Said they were pretty securely attached. Ahahah.
He poked my waist and said I was bad influence on him, that I made him do bad stuff. I realized just now that he does do a lot of things I dare/ask him to. I guess that shows he likes me. That made my day.
We spent so much time together, at one point Sam said he wanted to socialize with other people a bit even though they all looked boring. I didn’t really care to. None of them looked interesting. None were cute. But makes sense that he wanted to do that.
We sat together again for lunch but didn’t talk much.
On the way to the third place, everyone was tired. Even Kent fell alseep! Robet was sitting beside me, awake. I was feeling fine. Sam and Fred were falling asleep beside us.
We got to the third place. There was a giant oak tree there. Sam said it would be fun to climb it. He refers a lot to our day at the botanical park where we climbed a tree and talked about pterodactyls and land whales. He either has a great memory or thinks back a lot to that day.
I noticed he said I was naughty a few times. It sounds extra scandalous when he says it, in his British accent.
We didn’t sit together at the third place, but we were again in the same bus on the way back. He sat by the driver. I sat behind him.
I was having a ton of fun. Wine didn’t make me tired today! I got a giant white balloon, I was joking around with everyone in the bus. I talked to the girl beside me with very unique eyes.
We made a pitch stop at a grape field for some photo ops. I took my balloon out and pretended to be Instafamous. Sam took a picture of me. He took pictures of me when I was running down towards him (unknowingly) earlier today too.
As I hugged the balloon in the car, Pia joked about what would happen if the window was closed and the helium balloon was popped. We’d all have high pitched voice!
Moments later, my balloon suddenly popped! Aww. Window was open though. No one was making high pitch sounds haha.
Sam turned around to talk to me. It was a very cute conversation. He asked questions that I think one would only ask if they like the person. He asked me things like, what’s utopia for you. Asked if I like lobsters again. I remembered that he wrote a story about a lobster and a narwhal being best friends. I asked if that’s why he likes Robert so much. He said (I think) that he meant me being the narwhals. And asked if I like narwhals. I said, sure, they have the horn. And we both said, “Like a sea unicorn!” and laughed. Considering how little time we’ve spent together, we are starting to make quite a few of the same jokes.
He said the horn is used to break ice. We joked about how the horn is used to make mojitos and to help the narwhal make friends.
I love having this type of conversations with him. Oh and I told him about my idea of us being immortal and living with amnesia. He just listened intently.
I felt like we were having a date. Except once in a while I’m reminded we are not alone when Pia would join our conversation ahaha.
Oh and I asked him what Utopia is like for him. He said probably like the Beach, that movie about living together in a secret society. I immediately said something about how the girl cheated on her bf in the group and that would ruin things.
Gosh I want to spend more time with him. He had quit his job and and is going to sell on Amazon! He is going to Canton Fair in April. He seems to have no financial worries. Not sure why. Maybe his family has money.
But he is only 26. What a shock.
Sam is rare. Pretty sure he is full of issues though. I remember the second time we met, I commented on his perfect teeth. He said yeah but I’d rather have bad teeth that can be fixed than other issues. I wonder what it is. Someone who meditates so much probably has something.
But, I’d love to be with someone who makes me laugh all the time.
Maybe Sam and I can be good friends. I just want to spend time with him and have his affection and attention. And laugh lots together. I have that need for physical contact and affection from someone. In this group, he is the best, so I want it from him. It brings me more joy than anything…to have the love and affection from someone I adore.
I hope Alex gets funnier as he becomes more relaxed and catches up on sleep! I’m sure he can be nurtured.
