question: Well , I was driving through downtown Long Beach last night ... went right past the convention center ... and it conjured fond memories in my mind of all the trade shows I ' ve seen there over the years and how much I LOVE TRADE SHOWS . There 's something about a large showroom floor that 's covered with custom exhibits housing anything and everything based on one trade ... golf shirts , fishing supplies , tents , motorcycles ... you name it ! I do n't even have to LIKE the trade to enjoy the show ! I just like all the flash and frill , the demonstrations and the hard sells , and the free stuff ! !
Q: What may be the main reason I love trade shows ?

answer: I love the hustle and bustle of place but I really like all the items I can get for nothing .

question: The computer , forex , was on an extremely non - ergonomic " desk " ( I use that term loosely ) . And I was thinking I wanted to shift the orientation of the other desk . And while I was at it , it was high time to unpack my textbooks and , er , toys , and pretend like I actually belonged there .
Q: Why would it be " high time " to unpack ?

answer: High time means I am late in doing it .

question: I was really looking forward to it , I have n't been on a date for years ! So we both went out on Friday with seperate groups - I was hanging out with a friend of mine and he was out in next town . He sent me a text message at some point and of course I was really happy ! He said that he might be coming here at some point and so he did .
Q: Why has the narrator been looking forward to Friday ?

answer:
They have a date .
