Fellow CPians, I'd like to tell you about my last night adventure. A friend of mine had a birthday so she invited all her friends to some pub. I met there a girl I've known through mutual friends for the past few years and seen on several occasions. Whenever we met it seemed we had a spark, but when I made a pass at her a couple of months ago she rejected me. So last night she sat beside me and we started talking. She told me she needed a drink, since her latest short-term relationship was about to end. A couple of minutes later we were sitting on the bar drinking who knows what and getting drunk like a redneck on moonshine after his cousin left him for his brother. We spent the rest of the evening talking, laughing, dancing to some early 60's classics and of course drinking. Then we went for a walk outside to get some fresh air. At this point we were both very drunk, but even though I drank more than her she was in a worse state than I was - she could hardly walk straight. We sat on a bench, hugging, and she put her head on my shoulder (like the song we've just danced to). I felt like kissing her, and I'm sure she wanted it too (at least earlier in the evening). But she was so drunk (and me too) that I thought it wouldn't be right. I got her some fresh water and soon after we drove home with a couple of friends (the driver was sober). When we got to her home I walked her upstairs and when we parted she gave me a hug and thanked me for the evening. Today we talked again on ICQ (every once in a while we chat on ICQ or talk on the phone). In a couple of days she's flying to NYC for a month. We said we might meet when she's back, but what's the point anyway. The spark seems to be gone by now. It was there for only one night of cheap booze and two lost souls. Isaac Sasson "I hate it.
