A Fine Frenzy
This weekend was unexpected to say the least...
and yet without a doubt, Saturday was one of the very best Saturday's I have had in a very long, long time.
It began with.... my...very by chance encounter of a certain mystery man in the card aisle of Target. And as it played out...I laughed out loud at a very funny card... about how in middle life the weiners were getting smaller and the buns were getting larger. I just couldn't help it....it made me laugh out loud.
And from behind, a voice came to me. "You have such an infectious laugh. Do you come here often?" And I smiled.... embarrassed beyond belief. Because, I had ventured out with not washing my hair, not a speck of make up on, had an over sized shirt and a pair of way too tight shorts on for my own good. Ugh, what was I thinking? And in all honesty...what were the real chances of this happening? Yet....he was smiling and he was good looking. He totally reminded me of Mike from Las Vegas from PM's. The kind of guy that was extremely artisitc, wore funky clothes and had a gleam in his eye. And.... he did have a gleam in his eye....and it seemed to be about me. We exchanged polite conversation and as I started to walk away, he promised he would meet me in the condom aisle next week, same time, wink, wink, some store. I don't know....it made me laugh. And as I walked away....I smiled to myself and when I looked back he was standing in the middle of the aisle looking at me with a very cute smile. And so I waved nervously so.
And yes...Virginia.... there is a Santa Claus and a God.
Then out of the blue....I got an invitation for dinner. It was totally last minute....but you know, with my busy schedule....and with all of the dates that I had to switch, I decided to go and so I did. Smile!!!!
We met at Tuscany (how funny that is where I was a week ago with a special friend - just a different location) and we had a great time. We talked, shared love woes and spent two plus hours enjoying each other's company - totally. Ate, drank and I realized that this was turning out to be a really good day.
And then....as I drove home...JF (my SNL connection)called and said get your @ss downtown girlfriend. And so I did. Can I say I loved it - every second of it. And yes....he is the real deal....and boy can I prove it. But that is not for today's entry but I will share it with you eventually. We drank, we danced, we laughed and with out a doubt he gave me manly advice. And the bottom line, as I was dancing like a fool between two girls, I realized I am ok. And I will be ok. In Jim's words "Looking at you on the dance floor, pirate girl, makes me want to become a straight man. At least for one night." And all I could say was...promises, promises. And he laughed. I was on, I felt good and I guess you could say I was on a good wave. I was hanging ten. And I took JF's compliment and held onto it. He truly likes me, he respects me and has fun with me. And why....for the only reason...why not.
I met a lot of new people Saturday evening. It was fun to hang, to talk to these new people, to drink and to forget for a while. To feel safe with two men who were looking at me for my mind only...to show me a really good time and who were looking out for my best interest. Jim had sensed how sad I was on the phone on Friday and told me, though I didn't believe him at the time...that there was a huge world out there girl, break free from the matrix and live..... It was different and captivating and without a doubt he is something.
And then....the really funny thing is that he says that my writings....are brilliant. Not ok, or so-so, but $ucking brilliant. He loved my draft of my book. His question was "Was I getting ready to have a second ride on the stage of fame?" My reaction was "Are you kidding me?" And in turn for the first time in my life I accepted his compliments and his invitation to LV. Yes!!! It is a chance of lifetime and I am going.
So....I stayed up all night, had a great breakfast with JF and P and as they put me on the train this a.m., all I could see were my two very good looking new friends, who are both totally smart and witty, one who writes like a tornado, the other who dresses windows for our dreams
and all I could hear was..."You are one fine frenzy."
We are meeting again in two weeks for drinks. And yes he is right.
I am a fine frenzy in today's world.
