Kurrs' Digital Tapestry of Words

Yesterday was a very social day. I woke and talked about the play adaptation of Seasons of Mist I am working on with Tim, and, conversely, talked about his play adaptation of Wrapped in Grey. Then I went for breakfast/lunch with Tyler at Aphrodite's Cafe, which is where the title came from. The food is actually that good, a surreal mix of country foods made by gourmet chefs from entirely organic and local ingredients like some down to earth version of Bishop's. It's also a pie shop and hosts some of the greatest pies in the city.

I was going to go home, but we visited Angus instead and threw down some Super Smash Bros, and the mongoose lent me a slew of PS2 games, including God of War and Shadow of the Colossus. Glee! Then, they headed off to a hockey game and - while I seemed to have missed a dinner out with Beth and Genevieve - Tim, Navi, and Travis quickly arrived to fill my time. They too left, only to be replaced by Patti and Meghan.

The day was... unproductive... to say the least. Hopefully I've gotten back some of my social graces that my time in isolation has taken from me.

I was mid conversation with Tyler when it hit me. A combination of distraction, engrossment, forgetfulness and a touch of bad eyesight. There I was, all aglow with words, then the silhouette became a who. I looked and I saw the same curve of those eyes, the sad line of her jaw, the wisps of her hair like they were all those years ago. I recognised her a moment too late, only after she had seen unknowing in my own eyes, only after she passed out of my eyes did I remember who. I just hurt someone very badly. Much like my fae distraction, her beauty had not diminished but it differed in its unchanging nature. Sharper, older, perhaps even more of the person that I had fallen in love with.

I do so dislike hurting people, now I have done it twice to her. Even though the last probably was worse from an outside perspective, this one probably cut deeper. Being disliked is better than being forgotten.
