one year ago...
Exactly one year ago I was working at the gas station. A typical monday morning. The night before I went out with Olaf. We saw a dull movie at the cinema, but had a lot of fun. Olaf just got his drivers license and forgot to turn on his headlights on our way back. He was nervous, and so was I. I'd been crazy for him for a couple of weeks and I had told myself: "Take some action tonight or just forget about it." Ofcourse I was a coward as always and couldn't find the bravery to tell him how I felt. I just didn't know where to start, and I couldn't stand the thought of rejection. I couldn't leave! So, we just sat there on the couch instead. We talked, talked, talked... It was getting late already and I knew I had to get up at 6.30 in the morning to open the gas station. But, at 3.30 nothing had happened so I simply couldn't leave. Olaf didn't seem to mind the time either. I don't know how it happened but an hour or 2 later we kissed. We were both so tired that we simply couldn't think about that fear for rejection anymore. It was magic. I wanted to stay, but I couldn't. I had to set off my alarmclock back at my home before it would wake up my parents. So, I left, switched the damn thing off, had a cup of tea and cycled to my work.
It was the best thing that happened to me in 2004.
