Kurrs' Digital Tapestry of Words

Alright, onto the topic everyone is wondering about...

I seem to have gotten my wish. Which is a strange thing to say, but nonetheless it seems to have happened. Me and Patti were sitting around, talking about the Iliad (not surprisingly I suppose) and probably my lady-troubles at the time. There's a moment of silence, and then she voices the thing that we had both just thought at the same time:

"You know what you need, Chris?"

"What?"

"You need someone that's your age or older, beautiful, and really doing something with their life."

"Isn't that a bit demanding?"

"That doesn't matter, it's what you need."

"I guess you're right."

And now, out of nowhere, comes a girl named Erin (weird, neh?) who's a thin, short-haired, glasses-wearing, polyamorous, gardening nudist. She's my age exactly (born on the same day, on the same month, on the same year... possibly even the same hour, I have to double check with my mom) and the other person she's dating has the same name as me. The collection of coincidences is even longer, but you get the idea.

The strangest part is that there was no chase. And how I love the chase. But instead, it just.... happened. One minute I was so depressed that I could barely function and then poof, I'm in a relationship with someone I had never met before. We didn't even really talk about it, we met and just fell into a groove, kinda looking around after a certain point and saying "Oh, hey. would you lookat that?".

I'm still really sore and raw inside from my last womanly interactions, which means that I'm still very scared about the idea of being with someone. But for once, I feel like I've just added someone to my life and my plate just got bigger. Like their addition didn't have to change anything else about my life, it just... added. Now there is more to enjoy, but nothing else has to move out of the way or shift. Chris plus plus, now with object oriented coding capabilities (that's a Tim homage).

Now if only I could figure out how to get some sleep...
