synchronicity..
Ben and I stood on 1st ave laughing and waiting for the bus last night, and somehow this taxi driver saw us at the precise moment that Ben pulled me into him for a sweet embrace. I was rather rude to be honest, knowing how pushy cab drivers are, and we both continued to tell him that we were waiting for the bus and didn't have money for a ride. He waved us off and said "you are good people, I like seeing people in love, I'll give you a free ride, where are you going??" It was amazing. A free ride from downtown to Ballard (I'm guessing at least a $20 cab ride, if not more....I don't know how to measure cab fare since I never take a taxi) just because Ben and I make each other twitter patted and giggly.
We talked again about how perfect out friendship is and how we've both been trying to have a relationship like this forever, but other people have never been able to handle it. He admits to being a bad boyfriend and I know I'm a terrible girlfriend. We both just want a friend to cuddle with, and we've found that plus so much more. We can actually enjoy each others company, spend time together as friends, as lovers, but know that it's just fun; neither of us take it, or life, too seriously.
Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey blew me away, and we only got to see the first hour or so of their set. I was speechless. They twisted my mind in half and sent shivers down my spine and up to the tip of my head. I kept trying to explain to Ben, but the words just weren't there. Amazing. Seriously the best live show I have ever seen. I am kind of upset that they didn't play at Silver Platters this afternoon.....I guess they showed up, saw the space, and decided not to play. I kept trying to get myself to go talk to Reed Mathis (or any of the band, since they were all there), but decided to wait until after they played. Damn me, maybe they actually would have played had I gone up and talked to them. Oh well, such is life..
Last night was perfect. How can I have two of the most amazing nights of my life in the span of a week?? Everything about last night was peaceful and loverly and perfect. Ben and I were wandering up to catch the last bus home and we walked past an older gentleman listening to headphones. As we passed by he started singing along outloud....what a romantic tune it was. Something about someday you'll know how much I love you or some such. The whole night had such a sweet romantic feel to it. For the first time all week I didn't have insane tiring dreams all night. Next to Ben I always sleep so soundly..
