date night in the sprung

took j2, a dc guy totally inexperienced with the sprung (WTF???) out for a crazy, no holds barred night in our fair city.  first, we went to the gallery restaurant, where we paid $5 for parking but then went inside and, despite my significant pull in sopo, were unable to be seated for dinner b/c all seats were reserved for the entire night!!!  i mean, we all know sopo is happenin’, but i had no idea it was that happenin’!  then we went to ceviche, which is in just regular nopo, so of course we were able to be seated there.  after dinner, i felt i absolutely had to share silver sprung’s darling:  our very own astroturf lawn!  okay, another time i will seriously write an entire post on all of the things that are absolutely wrong with an astroturf lawn.  but not tonight.  on our way to the lovely and sanitary lawn, we did indeed see two mounted cops. not mounted like, two cops having sex, but mounted like, two cops on two horses (sorry to get you all excited, our fair readers who don’t actually exist).  at first, i was surprised to see mounted cops in nopo, but when you’re livin’ in the big city, anything goes.  i think j2 was impressed. i think he was also impressed by the several huge signs reading “downtown silver spring”, because you know you’re in a booming metropolis when you see stuff like that.  i thought we’d round out our night by heading back to sopo for the tastiest ice cream around:  moolicious.  unfortunately, we were to be dissed again in sopo:  moolicious was closed.  all i could really offer at that point was an exciting drive by the discovery building shark to witness the cycle of life q30 seconds.  exciting! 

 but here’s the really exciting part, folks, and it has nothing to do with sopo or nopo or the jets/sharks divide.  there was way more chemistry tonight then there’s been!  and it was fun!  i kicked him out before things got too involved, but it was great to have chemistry! i thought maybe i was broken or just not interested.  but i still don’t want a relationship and i don’t know how to make things more physical when i don’t want a serious relationship.  hmm…  suggestions from our readers who don’t actually exist?
