I can't wait to be done with work tonight so i can see Sean. He's the one good thing i have going right now. It's so strange the way things happen. And so cool.
I met him on the street corner downtown one summer day back in 2000 or 2001. Oscar was playing guitar on the corner so i stopped to chit chat and ask if i could take some pics. Sean showed up with some of his friends. I knew who the one boy was because he was a student in the classroom i was working in at the time. I didn't know Sean or the other 2 or 3 boys he was with. I remember thinking Sean was cute but looked stupid for wearing his shirt on his head and that it was a shame he was so young.
Then, about 2 years later, we met again at the coffee shop. We used to smoke cigarettes out on the patio, drink coffee, talk and, occasionally draw or take photos. I still thought he was cute but a shame he was younger than me. And that it didn't matter anyway because he had a girlfriend he had been dating for a few years. Then, the coffee shop closed. I didn't see Sean anymore. Or any of the other people i used to hang out with there.
Sean still popped into my head from time to time. I'd wonder what he was doing, if he was still in the area and figured he was married by now. Then, I ran into Sean at the mall of all places, a couple of weeks before Xmas. We exchanged numbers and we were supposed to go out for coffee later that night. I changed things up and asked if he wanted to meet me and my bf at a bar. He said he would. While the stupid bf was talking to some friends, Sean and i talked. We talked non stop for about 2 hrs. It was awesome. That was the night that the stupid bf got so drunk he fell on the street and cracked his head open.
I met up with Sean and Harry (another guy from the coffee shop) at Starfuck's a few times and we'd also go see some bands play at an Italian restaurant/bar. Finally, Sean and i decided to hang out on our own, without Harry being there. It was cool. It is cool.
Sean spent the night Sunday night. I found some of the photos i had taken about 7 or so years ago. I found the photos from the day I was hanging out with Oscar on the street corner downtown. I also found a photo i took of Sean at the coffee shop. He was outside on the patio, leaning with his back to the building, and kind of looking up. I showed him the photos and he remembers more than i do from then. He was 16 the day I took the pics of him, his friends and Oscar downtown. That means i was 25. Crazy.
I know i also have at least one more pic of him and his girlfriend from the coffee shop. I just don't know where it is. Probably with my photos in the basement.
Sean says he's wondered about me over the past few years since Copper Salmon Coffee/Stigliano's closed. He figured i moved back to Pittsburgh and/or got married or something. And, he says he thought I was hot too, the first time we met. He still thought i was hot when we hung out at the coffee shop. Sean also says he thought there'd be no way I 'd be interested in him because of the age difference. It's amazing what time can do for a situation, sometimes.
Despite the fact that he's 9 years younger than me, he's more mature than a lot of guys my age. And, he's not an idiot. Sean finds humor in lots of the same things I do that most people don't find humorous. He's also cool with the mental health shit too. We both love to do a lot of the same things. We both like walking places and hiking in the woods. We both love hanging out in cemeteries. We both love old things. He says I'm the only chick he's ever known who's into old "stuff" like coins, stamps, documents, photos, furniture and etc. He's into that stuff too. He has a nice coin collection and stamp collection as well. And, he knows alot about history. American and foreign history. When we hung out at the coffee shop, I gave him the nickname "Nazi Sean" because he was big into German and WWII history then. I still call him Nazi Sean.
When we were at my house yesterday, I also found one of my journals from that time period and I found the cartoon he drew on the last page of the journal. It said "Greetings from your friends at Disneyland" and below that it had a cartoon of Hitler, Bush and George Washington. He was surprised I still had it. I also found in one of the first entries in that journal that i was at the coffee shop when i was writing in it and had written that i wondered if Nazi Sean was going to show up.
Neither one of us can wait for Spring to hurry up and get here. We want to go hiking around the lake and in the woods around the lake. I want to have a picnic in the cemetery. He liked that idea. Sean wants to show me some really old cemeteries that people have seemed to have forgotten too, on some back roads in the country. I can't wait!!! And, we went ghost hunting a few nights before Xmas. We went to 3 or 4 different cemeteries in Pa and Ohio. I had my camera and we took random photos. We got some orbs in some of the photos. REALLY cool. I 've always wanted to do that but never had anyone to go with. This Spring, we're going to go ghost hunting again. And, i'm going to bring both my digital cameras, my laptop, and possibly my video camera. He's into it. He also likes my idea of making a cemetery book/zine. As soon as the weather gets better, I'm going to get started on it. Hell, I may be able to get started on it tonight or tomorrow. I do have some photos already. I just need to organize them and etc.
Sean saw his psychologist yesterday. I wonder if he talked about me and what he said. Of course, I won't ask him. I know that if he mentioned me, it probably wasn't anything bad.
When i was dropping Sean off at his house last night, he told me i'm a "wonderful woman" . i had no idea what to say or how to respond to that. Totally caught me off guard. He's also told me a couple of times that he thought he'd never find all that he was looking for in a girl in one person until he met me. I've often thought the same thing about him too. Very cool. I've definitely fallen for Sean. I was testing the waters when i spent the night at his house Friday and told him i was definitely falling for him. He told me he's already fallen for me. Everything is so right with Sean, with us. The only bad thing is that neither of us have our own place...yet. Sean's graduating from his auto mechanic school next month. I'm conducting a new job search. One of us will get our own place within the next 6 months, I hope.
Jesus. I still can't get through to reactivate my unemployment claim. And i need to begin getting ready to go to work.
After work, i'm calling Sean and we'll probably hang out until midnight or 1 am. Once I come back home or he goes home, i'm going to straighten up my desk area and get to work on my Ebay stuff again. i haven't posted anything new on ebay in months. I need to get back into that again. Especially now. I want to scan my old photos and work on making some collage sheets. That's gonna take some work. I need to save a lot of photos to CD before i can begin to scan new ones. My comp is running low on disk space. Guess i'd better start getting ready for work....ugh....i don't want to do the supervision thing today. I guess i can wait until Sunday to do that....
