when i woke up, i was confused (all the signs were lit, and you said i love this song). we were on opposite ends of the couch, decked in hooded sweatshirts and huddled under the down throw. there was a kitten sleeping on my shoulder.
it all came back to me. yeah. we were in this ridiculous position because we were waiting for the maintance man to come fix the heat. and it was already past 2AM. which was the window they gave us to wait. 6PM-2AM. what? so yeah. they didn't show. great. we trudged into the frozen bed and three cats and two cold girls huddled for the remaining 4 hours of the night.
the next day we were given another window. 10AM-4PM. what accurate time planning. just enough to miss her entire teaching day. . .and make it pointless for me to go in, since i couldn't leave her in a cold house all alone, right?
now that i have catie curtis in my head, it makes me think of this one time. . .at band camp. . . no. . .it makes me think of c and how we platonically dated for almost a year (what with she having a gf out of the country and me being shy and a non homewrecker). i wrote an email. i still remember. subject line? "this is the ride i'm on". it outlined a fabulous weekend where i fell in love with kris delmhorst for the first time, and met catie curtis (still blabbering about kris). it then went on to analyze the situation between c and i. and how i was madly smitten with her. needless to say, i sent it to her by accident. she brought that up the other day. she thought it was cute that i had called, emailed, and IMed her approximately 293482390482390 times before she was up. . .all hoping she would just erase it. no such luck. but. she still thought it was cute. things didn't work out (even though her sisters and her ex-gf (yeah, they broke up) thought we would make an excellent couple). we're still friends to this day. and it's nice to have a friend like that. one that you've shared an emotional attachment too. but haven't complicated it with the physical at all. we still have the "what ifs" if you will.
so, that was the ride i was on. but now, this is the ride i want.
