Fireworks

I woke up from a sex dream this morning. My roommate was in the kitchen, I assume getting ready for his weekend camping trip, because when I finally got up he was gone. All the better, because I could slug around the house and have my morning muesli and coffee in peace.

It seems like more and more, the people around me are in relationships. It wasn't like this a year ago. It's not that my friends all started dating people, it's more that the people I'm spending time with changed.

A year ago, I met a girl at a Halloween party. She was dressed like fireworks, all pipe cleaners and glitter. We literally bumped into each other in the mosh pit that is the Lex on Halloween. I named her Fireworks in my phone. I went home with her that night and we had something like a 2 week affair. She came to dia de los muertos with me, and gave me a jack-o-lantern pez dispenser. I still have it. She had curly hair and she was smaller than me and walking with her just felt right. I wondered if she could be the one, or at least one of the ones. I bought her a candy ring, to complement the pez dispenser, but before I could give it to her she called to say she wasn't over her ex, and she could do this. None of my friends even met her. She never came to my place. It was like the relationship that never was.

Just a few random thoughts today. I'm going to try and start blogging more.
