Outdoor Man

Outdoor Man invited me to attend one of the outdoor events he usually go to. I wanted to do something else so I told him that. In a very sweet move he told me he'd rather to with me to hang out. Accommodating! After the last time we were communicating quite regularly. We talked or emailed every day. However, there was just no spark for me. I didn't look forward to his calls. It gave me very brief moment of pleasure when I saw his emails.

We had plans to watch a movie Friday night but I got sick over the week. I was going to cancel, but for whatever reason felt bad about it. So I went to dinner with him and watched the movie. It was awkward. We didn't seem to have anything to talk about besides the load down of what happened during the week. There wasn't any discussion over anything. I was annoyed dramatically. Later I realized that it must be the PMS talking. Once in a great while I get very emotional and irritable with PMS. The movie, The Island Presiden, was great. It talked about the environmental issue which I am very passionate about. It's also very inspirational what one person can accomplish if he/she truly believe in his/her cause. Outdoor Man, however, was most impressed by the scenery and the fact that he should visit before it sinks. He had nothing to say about the environmental issue nor the inspirations. I don't know. I just assume anyone who enjoys the outdoors would at least care about the environment a little. Outdoor Man strikes me as with no cause besides his own recreational interest.

It wasn't a very enjoyable night. At the end of it I didn't even try to get him in bed. I was sick, tired, emotional, irritable, and greatly annoyed.

What I learned: Maldives environmental issue and political background.
