Interesting Roommate
I wandered home tonight despairing over my hat. 'twas a good hat filled with warmth when it stood proudly upon my head, shielding me with it's very body from the elements.
Sadly, my own prolonged gratitude to my hat's sacrifices for me are for naught. I abandoned it to fend for itself on the bus on my way to work. As I went to put it on my head I realized it's non-existence with me and cried out 'bother!'
'twas very sad. My eyes glistened for a moment before I realized I had three more...but still it was a wonderful hat, just the right size, not too thick, not too thin, nice and fuzzily warm.
Oh yes...roommate...in my despair over the dishonor I must bear for having lost my hat I wandered in through the door of my abode, realized my roommate was making use of the sanitizing and hygiene facilities and proceeded to start dinner. I did make sure to use the hot water once or twice just for fun (okay, not really, I forgot and used the hot water...sheesh...).
As dinner was going into the oven my roommate emerged from his room looking all spiffy. "Ahh" I exclaimed (you're completely welcome to read along out loud with me--just in case you were wondering) I could tell from my keen powers of observation that he must be going out on a date! Go roomie....oh...no, not going on a date, just 'picking up a friend to go to Celebrate Recovery' (I'll explain Celebrate Recovery in a moment to all those unknowing souls who peruse the pages of life). The friend of course was the cute girl who I happened upon last night as he was about to drive her home.
His comment when I asked her if he was dating her was "No, I'm in a hurry for an already healthy girl".
Okay, lemme splain Celebrate Recovery. My church does a 12 step program to help people get over their addictions, hang ups, and problems. It's a great program and people get their lives changed in it.
Back to the comment.
My first reaction was and you think you're healthy? I 'know' I've got problems. I 'know' that anyone I date and whomever I end up marrying will have problems. This is life and none of us are perfect. This is where I think some of my non-christian friends have it right. Sure let's hang out and date. We'll see if we can make a go of it. If not, that's all right, we tried.
I am completely surrounded by this ideology that the other person has to be perfect! If they aren't, why should we even bother going past 'hi'? Afterall, we know we're not meant for each other because I can already see all these issues the other person has.
