All-Conference
Hey folks, apropos of nothing, thought I'd share some personal stuff in my life.
So a few years ago, I was dating the girl of my dreams, Laura. Smart, funny, sweet, not a super model by any stretch, but we were really happy. Anyhow, I don't want to get into the he said/she said nonsense, but my buddy Tommy did some stupid stuff, and I probably didn't appreciate her like I should have, and in the end, she dumped me for this dude Harry.
Harry has a beach front condo and and rich friends and blah blah blah. Anyhow, Laura like gets super into salsa dancing and starts rolling the r in her name and whatnot, and it was really offputting to me, you know? I was kind of bitter. So anyway, Tommy sets me up with this SMOKING hot chick, Paulette. And, like, she was a DIME. People who were casual acquaintances thought I totally traded up, but I just happened to personally know a couple of dudes who had dated her and they tried to warn me. They were like "yeah dude, she looks good, but she's dumb as a brick, and you'll get tired of her BS REAL REAL quick. Like, good luck and all, but I gotta tell you, I wouldn't date her again". Wish I had listened. It was exactly as she said, we looked like a great couple for a few months, and would show up at parties and people would be impressed, but I never had any fun, you know?
MEANWHILE, I keep hearing that Laurie and Harry are happy together, and it just pushed my buttons. I had silly little nicknames for her (she was a little older than me, so I called her Old Crusty Muff) and whatnot. So finally I just had enough, and broke up with Paulette, and had a chance to really think about what I wanted. I actually don't hang out with Tommy anymore, but I met this chick Dana. To look at her, you'd think she was just an absolute 5, run of the mill blandy. But you know what? She's smart, and she's funny, and she's cool with my friends. The kicker is that I happened to run into her ex, and he tells me "you know what? She's a great chick. She'll make you happy. The best part is that in the sack, she doesn't try to do anything fancy, just sticks to the basics but she KNOWS WHAT SHE'S DOING, if you catch my drift", and gave me the old wink/nudge. And you know what? So far, he's been totally right. The first couple dates were a little awkward as we got to know each other, but this past weekend I took her to bowling league and had a BLAST. We got to the finals (where we got SMOKED by my aunt Ginny and uncle Tony) but even that was fun. She's a really cool chick, can hold a conversation, can talk about new topics and adjust to the people around her, and is as advertised in the bedroom.
The point is, I happened to see this morning that Harry and Laura are doing really well for themselves. Were named one of the top 10 power couples in the country, and you know what? For the first time, I couldn't be happier for her. I hope she is really happy, and does really well, because I'm happy with what I've got for the first time in a long time. I hope we can meet and be friends again, or maybe just run into her at a dance, and we can have a friendly dance off or something
