My Favorite Friday the 13th.

December, Friday the 13th, 2002
While waiting to see a movie at The Grove, I run into an ex-girlfriend and her new beau. I had called her earlier that afternoon and had invited her to come and see the movie with me (we had a rather emotional, air-clearing talk the night before; during which there had been no mention of a "new guy"). So, the first thing she says to me: "I got your message and was gonna call you back but..." Then she smiles as she says "It's so weird that we were coming to the same place to see a movie at the same time."
From her: a laugh.
From the new guy: a stare at the pavement.
From my friends (two of which had been present during "the talk" the night before): an uncomfortable silence.
I'm dizzy, my skin licks itself with flames and my stomach shrinks as I think: "Is it weird? Or is it just that my life has to stay as unexpectedly painful as possible?"

Good ol' Friday the 13th.

I still have weird girl problems and I still went to the movies, but this time I went with Lance and saw the movie at The Bridge.
It went much more betterly.
