You heart me


Her
: I think you (draws a heart in the air) me. (laughs) Why does our meeting have to mean something? Can't it just be we met and I just had too much to drink?
Me: Because I want so bad for it to mean something. That's why you can't be the girl.

----------

Friday, meet up with WM and Paolo for a party at Duvet. Not my scene. We bounce and meet up with Elle and company for some rum and beer at Reservoir. Meet a girlie who thinks I look too young. I tell her I'm not.

On the subway going up, I bump into three lovely young German women, smile and say, Hallo, habe ich ein Witz fuer euch - ein Typ...usw, usw, usw...

Saturday, see the girl that I thought was the Ship in the Night Girl who says the above. We chat from midnight to four again before I put her in a cab and take the long walk home, just for old times sake. Walking home I think of something: this girl has green eyes. The SING had green eyes. I think. You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue.

Sunday, meet up with Rain downtown to do a month's worth of laundry. He makes me stand on a plank of wood he's cutting with a powersaw as my whites hit the rinse cycle. Later that night, attend Cappy's wedding an upscale midtown Greek restaurant. I see friends I've not seen in 15 years. They ask me how I am and I lie and say I'm fine.

Outside, take a picture of the attractive hostess who looks up at the sky and tell her that I won't take her number but I'll give her mine. She smiles and says that very gentlemanly. It's my turn to laugh as I hand her my card. Of course, she's 21, but not, however, a pescatarian.

----------

Her: I think you want the drama. You like the drama.
Me: I really, really, do not.
Her: What if it did mean something? But not what you were hoping. What if we did connect, but as friends?
Me: (laugh, lean into her ear) I think you heart me.
Her: (leans into my ear) That's my line. You can't take my line.
Me: I just did.

Oh, dear. And I'm already in a nostalgic mood tonight. How could you get that song in my head? Especially now that I've looked it up on Youtube and the video is like tres disturbing.

Your LJ entries always remind me of weird little short stories that ought to have weird little '80s soundtracks.

I'm sorry - I just changed the song because I was thinking about something else and made an edit.

I didn't think anyone was reading me so late! =)

But here's the original song I put in:
Music: Whos gonna drive you home, tonight?

hmmm...the cars, so many really great hits (i'm thinking as my husband is looking up veggie tale songs... someday my head is going to combust!)

maybe you should switch to "i'm not the one"

You can't go on, thinking... nothing's wrong.

I dunno if its because I always end up reading your stuff at 2 am but . . . I'm always left wondering what precisely it is you're looking for, if you really care what you're looking for, and if you knew what it was if you couldn't find it.

I don't mean that to be harsh. I just think it would be really funny if you gave in to your inner romantic.

what precisely it is you're looking for
I'm hoping I'll know it when I see it.

if you really care what you're looking for
very much

and if you knew what it was if you couldn't find it
I'm not sure I understand this one.

Honestly, I don't think you're the fairytale type. Fairytales always end with the "happily ever after" implying of course that beforehand wasn't so good. But if the before was good they wouldn't really be worth telling. Hence, once you hit "happily ever after" its all good but also boring. So, if you ever figured out what you wanted and found it I think it would take a lot of the mystery out of life for you.

Every now and then I meet someone like you who does know what they're looking for. The possibly sad part is the reason they know and still don't have it is because they did already find it but found they loved the journey so much they cast it aside so they could find it again.

Again, it's about 1 am right now so the liklihood of me talking out of turn is high but, that's my impression of you. It's not bad at all unless you hang happy on something other than your hunt.

Nomadism = fun. With lotsa really good cheese.
