I think I might have a date - or something at least a little like that

So, how weird is this? Some time last month, my first girlfiend, from when I was 16, stopped by my parents house and left a note with her phone number on it, and told me dad to have me call her. Well, I didn't want to make a potentially long international call, so I waited until I was back in town this week to call her. I guess she's in town again now, also visiting her parents for Christmas, and we're going to go out tonight. I wasn't sure if I would even call her, but I called her a few days ago, and we had a really nice conversation. She's a nurse (a job where you actually help people - as good as it gets), owns a house, is a mom, a democrat, and is still downright sweet and charming.

I hadn't even had so much as a conversation with her in 9 years, and not really in like 13 years. I was afraid that if we did meet up, it would be super awkward, and I wouldn't want to do it. Instead, I'm really kind of excited. She left me a voice mail today saying that she'd "love to go get a drink" with me tonight. How nice is that?

blarghh.... I needed this.

3. and I did!

It was super. I had a great time. ... no chance to show her how much better I became in some respects... oh well.

AND - DAMN ... she is something like 1,000 times more beautiful at 30 than she was at 17. I wish I could say the same for myself. Oh well.

4. we did, thanks!

Really.... I think we were both quite surprised that we actually really like each other as adults, though if we didn't already know one another, our paths would probably never have crossed at this stage in life.... it's sort of nice, and it's sort of sad - sad, because, I mean, we really REALLY like one another now (I think - I think it means that a woman really likes you when she says "I'm not going to kiss you, because I won't be able to see you again", but then kisses you anyway), but I'm flying back to England on Monday, and she'll go back to Detroit. *sigh* at least it's good to know that there's someone out there who thinks I'm worthwhile.
