I can't wait to be disappointed by you.

That's the chorus of a song that a girl wrote not long before I quietly watched her eat a disgusting sandwich and she told me we should just be friends.  It's a good song.  I haven't listened to it in a while, but I imagine it's going to stick with me until I find someone who fails to disappoint.

I was sleeping while the tsunami hit Japan, and I was dreaming that Laura and I were braving an onslaught of tidal waves at a beach house somewhere.  Fire Island maybe.  We were outside on the third floor, a small balcony surrounding a widow's walk on this weathered white house.  We were sitting upright between the railing and a large window, and the waves were crashing against us.  I was fighting to keep my head above the water, but Laura would give in, let herself get washed under, then resurface.  I thought perhaps her way was better, but I was scared for her at the same time.  I don't know if we made it.  I woke up.

Hope you're besting the waves, sweet Laura.
