Blue Mustang

So last night I did something that I swore I would never do. I met someone off craigslist. It went surprisingly well. I put up an ad for a movie date (in the strictly platonic section, I might add), but after reading through the various responses I decided I was not infact ready to get acquainted with any of the avaliable suitors.

The next morning when I checked my email, there was one that caught my attention. Some guy had an extra concert ticket due to a flaky friend, and didn't want to go solo. I happen to love concerts, so it was a no brainer. Plus this guy was able to spell words such as enjoy, amphitheatre, directions, and many others!

When I walked into our designated meeting place, a little restaurant, I was surprised that he was actually quite attractive and wasn't wielding a knife. Well, I was a little disappointed about the knife thing, I do love a me a good psycho. He was a little older than I expected (35), but I was probably a little younger than he expected as well.

Next thing I know I'm laying on the grass looking up at the sky listening to REM play songs that I'd never heard before. Then I'm flying down the freeway in a shiny blue mustang at over 100 mph. Soon I'm in my pool at 2:00 am swimming around discussing exponential increases in population with a 35 year-old stranger.

The best part of the whole night is that he just left. It was beautiful. There were no awkward attempts at sex, or stilted conversations about emotions. He fell asleep on the couch, me in my bed, and the next morning when I awoke he was gone, leaving no evidence of his short stay other than a red bull can. It can't get any better than that.

And tomorrow I leave for Florida for a week. Life is good.
