Last Thursday:
It's weird for me to say that I've been with someone for four months. I've been broken so many times, pushed so many people away, being with any one girl for any stretch of time longer than an evening is miraculous. So perhaps I'm living in miraculous times.
I saw Lindsey before she had to go to work her second job at our most romantic place to rendezvous: the 7-11 on Glenoaks and Cypress. I gave her a beautiful arrangement of flowers. Later in the day, she gave me a bag of goods: Sweet Tarts and Pez (my favorites), The Usual Suspects on DVD, and James and the Giant Peach on DVD. Miraculously, I did not own these DVDs.
I made dinner reservations at a place called Senor Fred's, a Mexican restaurant in the Valley. Beautiful atmosphere, good food, a little too loud, but it was still fun. We decided to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind afterwards which is an exhileratingly beautiful movie.
I don't really know if four months is a miracle. It's certainly been a happy, adventurous four months. We'll see if the two of us walk on water any time soon.
Let Me Tell You About Her
I wasn't very indiscreet and yet
That is a notion that I might as well forget
Friends look at me these days with fond surprise
But when I start to speak they roll their eyes
Let me tell you about her
Hush now, I've said too much
There's something indescribable I can't quite catch
Let me tell you about her
The way that she makes me feel
Then draw a curtain on this scene I shan't reveal
Some things are too personal
Too intimate to spill
And gentlemen don't speak of them
And this one never will
I wasn't very conversational
Except to say that, "You're sensational"
Friends now regard me with indulgent smiles
But when I start to sing they run for miles
Let me tell you about her
Hush now, I've said too much
There's something indescribable I can't quite catch
Let me tell you about her
The way that she makes me feel
Then draw a curtain on this scene I shan't reveal
