Today is brilliant. I met someone this morning, who I will never see again. And I'm really impressed by them. I don't have to see him again. Yes him, of the male variety. He was talkative.. provocative. Charming but not a charmer. Intellectual, not just intelligent. You know ? Those people where you can see the spark in their eyes when they're talking about anything. Bands, festivals, Majoring in criminology, photography, The Strokes, how the bus is always exactly seven minutes late, how he loves marlboro's but can never find them. Australia's not good that way, apparently. So say the smokers. He was something else. Truly.
He's also juuuuuust about to move to Boston.
Nuts.
BUT that's not the moral of the story.
What really hit me was this ..
THEY EXIST.
That breed of person who suits you (maybe just for a conversation) right down to the ground and seems to have stepped straight out of your head and onto the pavement in front of you. They're out there. Woah.
I haven't met a person like that in ages and had settled on the idea that maybe I've used up my quota. Like there are a certain number of potential soulmate-y types and once you've met, say, three, that's it. Done. The world is void to you and maybe you should settle for 'has potential'. Mister from this morning didn't have to stick around. He made my day and that was all I needed. Faith restored.
Thanks, man.
