Yesterday on my walk I looked over and saw an oddly shaped person. Then I realized it was two people. They were hugging. Then I remembered how sweet hugs are and how much I love them.

Unusual

Today I was taking a walk. That is not unusual. I was walking in the afternoon. That was not that unusual. Lots of old men passed by me on bikes. That was not unusual. The air was crisp, cool, and delightful. That was not unusual. I had good music on my iPod. Even, that...was not unusual.

Then, a man--a real live, young, good looking man walked towards me and as he passed me in slow motion, and the sun shone behind his head like a halo, and he just SMELLED like a warm, sweaty, sensuous GOD of a man with overwhelmingly good genes and pheromones that knocked me off my feet...and I wanted to throw him down to the ground and have my way with him...and I realized I've been boxed up in my house and at work and cold like a nun for four months and my hormones are crazy and I just REALLY want.....

Well, anyway, that was unusual.

To Be Got

Me: Hmm, no one really gets me.Him: Gets you?Me: Yeah, you know, I just want someone to understand me. Like really really.Him: You are ungettable. That's part of your charm.Me: That's adds a poetic flare to my "ungettableness". Just make it charming. But charm is still lonely.Him: But that's the cool thing about you: if anyone could figure you out, you wouldn't be you.And no one wants you not to be you. Stay true to your unfathomability.
