Full Circle

Just like him, I've been writing this in my head for some time now - including the title. I could say that I'm surprised that we both intended to write a similar post with the same title, but I'm not. We have a surprising amount in common.

When I won, and then called off, the date with Marty to go see The Decemberists last November, I was a mess and not at all ready to appreciate someone as wonderful as him. I didn't forget about him though. I still stalked his flickr account whenever he added new photos and read his blog when he posted (which wasn't nearly as often as I would've liked).

When we finally went on a date this last August, I didn't know what to expect. What I got was total and complete awesomeness - someone I soon developed a crush on and then almost as quickly fell in love with. I bought the tickets for us to go see The Decemberists last night because I owed him. And not because I didn't go to the show with him last year. It's hard to put into words exactly, but I guess it was kind of a thank for you not forgetting about me.
