I was basically overwhelmed with all the drama that had gone on this summer. I mean I like
drama but in small doses. I decided I was done with the whole "scene" for a while. I mean at least a couple of months. Then
I got a call from a number I didn't recognize. I figuered it was my stalker so I didn't answer it. There was a voicemail left
but I prolonged listening to it cause I just didn't want to deal with him right at that moment. Later that night I was laying
in bed watching TV and I decided to check my voicemail. Turns out it was Matt, the guy from Thunders that I kissed and expected
to never hear from again. I called him right back and it turns out he had been away in Conneticut for the week for his job
and he wanted to hang out at Thunder's that Friday night. I agreed to go cause I was so excited he called. I guess I was not
as ready to give up the "scene" as I thought I was cause I didn't hesitate one bit. I met him the next night and at first
it was a little awkward cause I didn't really know much about him. I kind of watched him from a far as he interacted with
other people. Lenny was there that night. I gave him a summary of what happened with Rob and he pretty much just bad mouthed
Rob while trying to make himself look more appealing to me. It was not happening but I was nice and just smiled and noded.
I started drinking a little and started to have more fun. Then Rob and Evan showed up. I actually didn't care that much. It
just made me sad that Rob and I didn't talk at all that night. In all honesty he's a good guy and I really thought we bonded
well as friends. I guess it just wasn't meant to be. I met another guy that night named Andy. He was there with a girl named
Ann Marie who worked with my friend Diana. We talked and Matt came by and warned him not to touch me cause he wanted to be
the only one kissing me. (aww it makes me blush thinking about it again) Andy was clearly interested in me but he was just
too pretty for me. I mean I act conceded sometimes but I really don't think I'm all that. It's all just a front. I know this
may come off sounding really shallow but I just can't date somebody that thinks they are prettier then me. I don't mean that
in a sexy way. I mean that in a girly way. Andy was cute but when I say pretty I mean he was like girly pretty. I don't know
how else to explain it. Okay so Andy had a tounge ring and so did Ann Marie. I can't explain it but I have this weird fascination
with tongue rings. I just have to make out with the person if they have one. So maybe it was a mixture of the tongue rings
and kissing someone else behind Matt's back that made it so appealing but I made out with Andy and Ann Marie and then the
both of them at the same time. After that I spent the rest of the night with Matt. We danced, we drank, we made out, we pretty
much had a great time. I met with him again the next night at Thunders and we did the same and this time I revealed my fascination
with tongue rings and made out with his friend Tara. (in front of him I might add) From that night on we were pretty much
inseperatable. That Sunday I met him at Tara's house to hang out with him and go see Tara's sister play softball. I met his
mother like the next day and we swam in his pool and basically for about two weeks I would come over at night, we would start
a movie and we'd end up heavily making out and not really seeing much of the movie. We stayed strong and there was no sex.
One Friday we were at Thunder's and Matt had invited me to a barbecue that a co-worker was having. At one point when I was
sitting at the arcade Matt said to me "About that barbecue" I said "Yeah" he said "You can only go if you come as my boyfriend"
I was a little shocked and really didn't know how to react except to push away and say "Don't you think it's a little soon"
I mean I wasn't trying to say no. I just wasnt sure I was ready to say yes. I mean I had hoped all summer that I would eventually
meet somebody that was boyfriend material but now that I had I wasnt sure I was ready to be in a relationship after everything
that had happened. We went back to his place that night to hang out and I was so drunk I passed out in his bed. When I came
to I vaguely gave Matt a summary of everything that had happened this summer. He also filled me in on somethings Andrew had
said to him about me. He said that I was scandalous which normally I would take as a compliment but because Andrew said it
and I'm supossed to be mad at him I took it as an insult. He also said that I kiss like an Octopus which is soooo not true
because I haven't had any complaints from anybody else. I concluded that Andrew was jealous of the attention Matt was giving
me and he was mad at the fact that I was basically recipricating that attention back and he felt threatened and figured this
wasn't worth it. Meanwhile Matt had gotten a new job and was going to be away in Boston for 5 days. I had thought about it
and the fact was that we spent all of our time together anyway so we might as well take it to the next level and say we we're
dating. The night before he left I came to his house to help him pack and said to him "I have an answer to your question"
I paused for a moment and said "I think I want to be your boyfriend" he said "Are you sure" and I said "yes" So that was it.
It was official on August 10th 2004 at 11:59 p.m. I made sure I said something before midnight because I didn't want our one
month anniversary to be September 11th. He went to Boston and when he came back that Friday at Thunder's we officially announced
we were a couple to everyone.
