Friday 2/15, Erik texted me in the morning apologizing again then while on my lunch break asked me if I wanted to get dessert with him that night (“on me of course”) but I told him I had plans but would text him later. Both Ky and Kay-See requested my presence to hang out for dinner but I told them I had plans with Susan for dinner and the Fleet Foxes show. So I called K when I got home to tell her and she told me they’d just gotten to Pogacha and that I should come down for happy hour so I hopped in my car and made it there about 10 minutes later. They ordered so much food: lettuce wraps, chicken skewers, a giant plate of fries and the artichoke dip. Plus all the pogachas. Wow. So we talked and ate EVERYTHING. There was not a crumb left. Literally. I was there for maybe an hour then we all took off and I headed home to get ready to go out. I left and went to Susan’s and we took off for the store because I needed money and change for the bus. We had to wait a little while for it to come but we kept ourselves occupied talking and laughing and I ate way too many gummy worms. It came and we hopped on and I ducked in my seat so I wouldn’t get in trouble for eating on the bus. We picked out each other’s bfs and I called dibs on the one in the fur coat. We rode down to Seattle Center and hopped off at what we guessed was our stop. We wandered around SC a little trying to figure out where the f-ing Vera Project was and eventually found it and saw the FF boys outside practicing White Winter Hymnal and I started singing along and Susan was like “Shut up!” and I enthusiastically told her I wanted to go say hi to them and ask where Craig was. We found the entrance went in and grabbed a piece of real estate against the back wall. Erik sent me a picture text which I couldn’t check because my phone is the cheapest one you can get, but I was insanely curious as to what he sent. Susan raised her eyebrows then pointed to her crotch, suggesting that I would have a dirty picture waiting for me when I finally logged on the net to check it. Since it was an all ages show both Susan and I were on the prowl for hot youngsters. We found plenty of them but weren’t all that seriously invested. I gave a few “Hell-O”-s but it was mostly to be ridiculous more than anything. The guys went on and they were amazing of course and Susan was blown away too I think. They played my two favorites and I recorded a few times. When they were done we booked it out of there to go catch the bus, but we made it with plenty of time and joked about throwing gummy worms on a red Jetta with a couple of self-important bitches in it. The bus came and we noticed there was a guy on it who had been on it when we rode down so that was hilarious. We got off on Broadway and walked down to the Grill. We spotted Jeff across the street at Vivace and spied on him while he cleaned up and joked about texting him and telling him we knew what he was wearing or going over and inviting him to join us but thought better of encouraging that. Susan got some soup and we shared some fries and I just felt sick afterward. Like, how much shitty food can I consume in one day? Let’s try to find out! So we’re sitting there and Erik texts asking where I’m at then another one asking “What are u up to? And wheres my pic gorgeous?” so then I’m like, “Oh great, what the hell did he send me earlier and what was his request?” I told him I couldn’t check it and told him I would text him when leaving Seattle. So Susan and I ate most of our food and passed on dessert and took off back to her house. We busted it up the hill and we passed this super hot guy and I was like “Hell-O!” and he looked at me and smiled so that was hilarious. I kept saying rape and Susan was getting mad because she couldn’t text because I was so distracting. We made it back to her place and checked the picture message and he’d asked me to send him a picture to put in his phone for when I called, but duh, I can’t do that. I took off and texted him, he requested I meet him in Redmond but I didn’t know where the place was and I never heard back so I went home. As I was getting ready for bed he called from a friend’s phone to say his phone had died and that he wanted to make plans for the next day but I had plans and he was like “Uggh, we keep missing each other. I’d really like to see you somehow tomorrow” so I just kind of sighed inside and was like “Ok, well, talk to you later” because I don’t really know what I’m doing. I went to bed.
Thursday 2/14, I got a text while at work from Erik stating that he thought that was the best Valentine's Day kiss he's ever had and I'm going to have to agree. I think I've only had 3 others, but I can promise this one takes the cake. I texted both Ky and Michael to see if they were going out and Ky said maybe which I knew meant no and Michael responded "Of course sweetness! Save sum dance space 4 me!" so I wrote back that I would and that I was excited to feel his bicep(s) again and he writes "I'll pumpem up good 4 u!" which made me giggle hysterically. Oh Michael! So then Erik texts saying to have fun so I told him I would and that I was doing some Eli / Paul research on imdb per the conversation we'd had the prior evening. I showered then thought, well maybe he would want to come out but wants an invite or something? So I wrote back again asking if he wasn't coming out. He responded that he knew it was my night and didn't want to intrude but that he really wanted to see me. I told him I wouldn't object so it was set. I wondered what I was getting myself into. I ate some dinner somewhere in there then got ready, talked to Susan several times and eventually made it out the door to her place. We gossiped and I filled her in on the movie and the kissing and talking and joking and she got out the lemon Famous Amos cookies and I ate probably 1/4 of the bag. They're DELICIOUS! She warned me not to ruin Neighbours and though I can't promise anything I don't think it'll be a problem. Fingers crossed. We decided against hot chocolate and just continued talking there until almost 11. We parked and walked in and the place was totally decked out with streamers and balloons and a huge red light shining on the disco balls. We checked our coats and went upstairs and noticed Tye dancing on the stage and one of the bald guys who’s always all over the place. We went down and said hi to Tye on the way to the dance floor and started getting down. I told Susan I was going to be humped against that pillar by another Erik and Susan was like “And it won’t be the last!” which made me laugh so hard I fell backward against it. Susan went with me to get some water and I don’t know if it was the first time I got some or the second but my bartender was like “Hey Karrah!” and told me my shirt was sassy and like touched the strap of it and looked at me suggestively. Hmm. Back on the floor there were a couple good songs in a row but eventually a Cure song came on so we went upstairs to say hi to Damon. They chatted and I watched the crowd but when a good song came on I dashed down to dance and ended up by the bald guy who kicked me in the shin so I moved away from him then a bad song came on so I stood on the side until another good one came on then went over to the pillar and got leered at by gross guys. Eventually Susan and I ended up under the black light and she gasped when she saw Christopher come in so we knew Sam and Michael had to be close behind. Up to this point Erik had still been a no show so I didn’t know what the hell was going on especially since I didn’t bring my phone in. So the boys come in and find us quickly and Sam asks if we have Valentines and I said no and Susan just snarled, but I told him she kind of did. Michael came over and I got a nice hug and kiss on the cheek and I told him I wanted him to be my valentine. Then George came over and says “So, you know my friend Erik” and I confirmed then he asked if I knew who he was and what I’d heard then left and Sam was like “Erik, the bouncer?” and I told him yes and he’s like “He’s sooo hot!” so I told him I’d made out with him the night before. I need to stop kissing and telling. What a blabbermouth! “I made out with him!” geez, what did I want, an award? I’m Karrah, I make out with someone and tell everyone about it! I eventually made it to the floor and was dancing with Sam and Michael and occasionally SP bf too, but mostly we watched him on the stage. Samuel and I were talking about how we knew Michael and I asked him if he knew Eric the redhead and he was like, “Oh, his redhead friend that’s really hot?” and I’m like “Yeah, we dated for a few months way back when” so that was kind of funny. I’m Karrah, I get around with the Eric(k)s! I tracked down George and asked him if he knew if Erik was still coming out so he texted him then said something offensive about some girl that walked by. Of course! He said he’d come find me when he heard back from him, which was actually very nice. Well, to be fair, he said that he didn’t mind because otherwise he’d just be cleaning up vomit so he’d rather send text messages on my behalf. Back on the floor dancing with Sam and SP bf Max came over and was dancing by us and I asked him where he was from and he told me Bosnia and that he works in IT and wanted to know where else I go on the weekends and told me he liked my shirt and that it was different from what I usually wear then when he left Samuel said he’d accidentally stepped on his foot and I said I think he has a crush on me and he’s like “Wait, he’s not gay?” and I told him I think bi and he’s like “Are you sure?” and I said no but that I was pretty sure. This group of tall girls kept bumping me and I’d take a step forward to move away but one would inevitably keep ending up rubbing all up on me with her back. Eventually they left and I noticed Michael and Samuel whispering and looking in their direction so I asked what was up and S told me they were lesbians and were dancing like that because they liked me, and I told him I doubted it but he reconfirmed and said him and Michael had been watching them and Michael agreed. Susan made it out and was dancing and all of a sudden there was Craig! I screamed and gave him an enthusiastic, yet very careful, hug. He looked fantastic and seemed to be in high spirits. I asked him how he was and we chatted for a little bit and I told him about the dream I had about him and the rice and he just laughed. I asked him about FF and that seemed to put a damper on his mood, whoops. He said it’s too long of a story to go into on the dance floor but that he didn’t quit. Then he said something else I’m not going to write on here and eventually moved on because he saw some girl he knew. I danced a few more then needed to go since it was after 1, gave Craig a hug, said bye to Susan and Damon, got my coat, tried to find Michael, ran into Max and told him bye then spotted Michael. I got a sweaty hug and said bye to both of them and made my way out and to my car where I found a text from Erik apologizing for not coming out because he was tired. He called me ‘sweets’ twice which weirded me out a little because that’s what I called Ian.
Wednesday 2/13, I traded some extremely interesting messages with LPC at work and he basically alluded to us hooking back up and that he partially wishes he hadn't dumped me or something then made a reference to "delayed gratification" and I just laughed. Ohhhh jeez. So I drafted him back a message as to why I didn't want to go down that road and how being in anything at the moment feels fake and I feel guilty for it. I'm just soooo not over Ian and he's left some incredibly large shoes to fill. So yeah. He sent a funny response that Susan called bullshit. So there was that whole thing, then I was feeling rather apprehensive about going out with Erik again, though some of the reasons will not go on here because as I've learned a few times over, I don't know who may come across this and I don't feel like implicating myself. I worked out when I got home and was thoroughly sore by the end then talked to Susan and discussed my plans with her. I ate an extremely healthy dinner and felt very satisfied then started getting ready. I headed out a bit early since he was right on time last time and I like to get to movies early anyway. I called Aubrie on the way in and gave her a mini-rundown so we chatted for a few minutes then he texted me asking if we were still on, yes Erik, we are, so I hung up with Aubs, texted him back and he said he would be there in a half hour (it was 8, movie started at 8:30). I wandered around Borders and managed to behave myself and not buy anything then eventually headed over to the theater and bought the tickets. Heh. Beat him to the punch. I stood outside waiting for a while and texted Susan at 8:30 that I was missing previews. He showed up and managed to scare me when I wasn't paying attention, we hugged then headed in. He was looking for where to buy the tickets and I handed him his ticket and he was like "Is this because I wouldn't let you buy dessert?" and I was like "Of course not, why would you think that?" and gave him a menacing smile. We walked in the theater and I asked him what kind of a movie watcher he was, a back or a front and he goes "I'll be whatever you want me to be" and after I giggled and "oooOOoooh"-ed he made a cat purring noise. Then we both laughed. Laugh! I really liked the movie and even though he's a bit of a movie-talker our arms were touching for most of it and at one point there was an explosion or something and I totally jumped and he kind of chuckled then rubbed my back a little. I noticed he was texting a couple times and I was like, "Dude, if you've got another date or something feel free..." but then he whispered that it was his step mom and he told me she was wondering why he wasn't answering his phone and he's like "Because, I'm on a date!" and I'm like, is that what this is? Hmm. I need to brush up on my terminology. So we watch the movie then talked about it while the credits were rolling and finally the lights came up so we left and stood outside the theater talking for a while. He told me he would walk me to my car but I told him it was really far away and he was like "Even better" so we walked and it wasn't as far as I thought but I offered to give him a ride back. We sat in my car FOREVER. I left the car running because I figured we'd talk for a minute then he'd jump out. But no. 45 minutes went by. You'd think I'd just turn the car off after 15 or 30 minutes, but no, I kept expecting him to get out. It was fun talking though as it's always nice to learn more about someone you're interested in and he definitely likes to talk so there weren't any weird silences. So finally he's wrapping it up and wished me a happy Valentine's Day (since it was now 12:40) and pointed out that he was my first date for the day. I told him the gays get me for the last part. He said he would call me then went in for like another kiss on the cheek thing but I kind of turned my head so our mouths were very close then we both stopped and looked at each other then went for it. We had a very nice, slow, perfect make out. For like 4 minutes. I'm going to put him in the top two for kissers. Jiminy Christmas, my stomach flips just thinking about it. Whewwww! So yeah, we're making out and and it's goood then we finally stop, he gets out and I'm all giggly, say a final goodbye and take off. As I pull around the corner to get back on the main drag I get a text from him and it says "Wow...;)" and I'm like, Uhhh yeah! Holy shit. Mmm, mama like. Drove home, made it into bed then he sent me another text hoping I'd made it safely and in bed. I couldn't fall asleep because I was riled up or something and couldn't stop thinking about it and after I finally did I woke up like a million times. Yawwwn.
Tuesday 2/12, After work I worked out and traded texts with Erik about seeing a movie the next day and he made me pick the movie (There Will Be Blood), time and theater and was busting my balls a little for how crazy girls are and that he was making me make a decision. He was disappointed he wasn't going to get to see a chick flick so I called him a pussy. I worked out then ate a ton of PF Chang’s leftovers and watched tv. Karaoke Matt messaged me while I was watching Biggest Loser and eating chocolates asking if I was going out or not. Nope! Staying in! Which I did, watching tv for the rest of the night.
Monday 2/11, Sos called while I was at work and invited me over for lasagna so of course I accepted. I should have worked out when I got home but my thighs were still hurting and, let’s just call a spade a spade, I was feeling l-a-z-y. I talked to Susan then Court beeped in and since I haven’t talked to her since about X-Mas I jumped off. Her Grandma passed away so I talked to her about that especially since she was so wonderful when Grandma Rose died two years ago and sent me the stages of grief to help me. So we talked for a long time about that but also about people from college having kids and her trip up here to visit. I took off for Sos’ with a bunch of salad fixins and it was dog chaos when I arrived. Her and Jake had assembled the lasagna prior to me arriving so it was baking away in the oven. I gave her some pictures from the wedding and we looked at those then she showed me her wedding box and the projects from her bachelorette party and the drawings were sooo hilarious I was cracking up and picked the Johnny Depp pirate one as my favorite. All the rasta ones were pretty funny as well. Back in the kitchen I started in on the stories and she was all “Oh god, don’t tell me it’s Eric, that guy’s an asshole” and I was like “Well…” and she moaned and groaned until I told her it was a different Erik, and even about another Eric so she was thoroughly amused, as many people are. I helped get the salad going and soon we were dishing up and both the salad (with blue cheese) and the creamy turkey lasagna (it was more like a casserole) were deLICSious. We watched the dog show while we ate and talked about Jake’s new job that may just come in handy for me and my house. Heh. Jake disappeared and we continued talking about boys and I told her about my letter to Ian and how it doesn’t offer closure necessarily, but I’m glad I was able to tell him all the things I love about him and think about him and appreciate about him and that it was so important to me for him to know all those things. Enough of that stuff, it was time for ice cream! It was some delicious show churned chocolate cheesecake concoction and I ate a nice big sundae-glass full. At 9 I decided to go home and started getting cramps on the way, booo! I watched some tv and assembled a little letter full of random things to Ian and must have done some other things, but I don’t remember. Oh yes, OR, I watched that then a bit of Letterman.
Thursday 2/14, I got a text while at work from Erik stating that he thought that was the best Valentine's Day kiss he's ever had and I'm going to have to agree.

We watched the dog show while we ate and talked about Jake’s new job that may just come in handy for me and my house. Heh. Jake disappeared and we continued talking about boys and I told her about my letter to Ian and how it doesn’t offer closure necessarily, but I’m glad I was able to tell him all the things I love about him and think about him and appreciate about him and that it was so important to me for him to know all those things. Enough of that stuff, it was time for ice cream! It was some delicious show churned chocolate cheesecake concoction and I ate a nice big sundae-glass full. At 9 I decided to go home and started getting cramps on the way, booo! I watched some tv and assembled a little letter full of random things to Ian and must have done some other things, but I don’t remember. Oh yes, OR, I watched that then a bit of Letterman.
