Allow me to begin by saying, this was one of the best nights of my entire life... Every moment was a joy, even the few awkward ones, if only because we got past them. We worked past them. He just left, and it was agonizing, that stupid silly part of me wanted him to stay so badly.
What did I do to deserve such a wonderful man all of a sudden? I can honestly say, honestly, that Curtis is gone and only drifting further and further away. Thinking of him, even typing that name, feels foreign. The memories are like clips from another, duller life when I was another, lesser version of myself. I can finally see that I can be happy and content without him, that in fact, I could never have been those things with him. Two weeks ago, I was already over him, for the most part, and finally getting comfortable with my own self and my new role as single... only to find myself suddenly on this exciting thresh-hold of some kind of bliss. Thank you, universe...
As for the date part, I wore my black, linen Cut Loose skirt and striped green t shirt. A skirt, people! Wha??? About 7:30 he picked me up and took me down to Manny's for dinner, and we gave each other puppy eyes practically the whole time. I would have gagged had I been an observer. Then he took me even further into the ghetto to Comedy City for the 10:00 show, where we cracked up with the other four audience members. It was great, but now I have to take him to see Keith's comedy troupe,
Improv Abilities. Represent! After the show we returned to my place to watch my favorite movie, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Eventually we realized it was after four, at which point he finally dragged his reluctant ass out the door.
And that, my friends, is my FANTABULOUS date in a nutshell. No more details! At least not here... :)
Man, I wish I didn't have to fricking open in the morning...
