Holy Crap

Oct 21, 2006

It’s 4:30 in the morning. My ears are ringing. I can’t sleep.

I had a fantastic time tonight. Let me just start with that.

About 7:00 tonight Kat sent me a text message asking if I wanted to go to a goth club later. I was a little apprehensive, admittedly, but I figured, why not? While it’s not a scene I’m intimately familiar with, I’m quite comfortable in that crowd.

In short, I had a blast. The music ranged from good to great, I drank enough that I had trouble walking straight (2 fuzzy navels), the people were fun. I refused to dance, as is my nature, but I definitely was feeling the groove, and when I go again, I think I’ll dance for sure. Regardless of the lack of dancing, I had a very good time.

Kat also appeared to enjoy herself and enjoy my company. She went ahead and danced rather than sit by my non-participatory side, which I was glad to see. The hug when I arrived at her place was firm, the hug at the end of the night when we parted ways lifted me onto one foot. Oh, and she fell asleep under my arm on the ride home. While I scritched her head.

I think it’d be fair to say that I’m smitten.

The unfortunate truth, though, is that she has a boyfriend. He’s in Ireland. And everything I can sense says that she is really in love with him. So, I’m caught between a temptation to be an undermining jackass and being an upright and supporting individual. Obviously I’ll go with being upright and supporting, there’s no question of that, it’s just an unfortunate set of circumstances.

I also met three very nice people at the club who are friends of Kat’s: Matthew, Karen, and the DJ in one of the rooms whose name I regretfully can’t remember. Karen and the DJ were nice enough to drive us home, which I don’t really think I thanked them for enough. I also had my drinks purchased for me, which I didn’t get a chance to reciprocate, so I’ll have to rectify that oversight at some point.

I feel like I could go on and on about Kat here, but I’ll save that for another time. It’s getting close to 5:00, and I’m getting sleepy. So, off to bed with me. We’ll see what tomorrow brings. Or today. Whatever.
