OK cupid I concede you work

It's 2 in the morning I sit here in a chair while a beautiful girls sleeps just behind me in an oversized t-shirt caught between pages of some book she was reading for class. Her phone left lonely in the palm of her hand. It's a freeing feeling to be so close to such tranquility. I dare not disturb her, but I will share with you the story of our meeting. I put little to no faith in any internet dating sites. However, recently Jen has credited OKCupid with all kinds of promotional material about her own dating life. My life was not so influential as I wouldn't consider myself famous, so I didn't anticipate great results. At first I just threw up my profile without going out of my way to look people up or inquire about them in any great deal. Slowly, I started checking out people in the area. It was kinda sad; I had been on a few dates already with people in this area that were on OKC. More depressing is the fact that you can see who visits your page and if you don't have a message it means they pass you on. You get over that, I guess. It was by pure chance I came across a girl who had the most amazing self summary.

I dance to the music on my Ipod...while in public.

I wish my life were a musical. Everyone would know all the words, the melodies and harmonies, and the choreographed dance pieces. And in the end, I'll live happily ever after. 

I believe nothing is good in excess, even moderation.

I raise attack butterflies. I hand make water molecules. I rescue orphaned leaves on the ground. I wriggle my toes in rain puddles. During a hurricane, I performed oral surgery by candlelight using only a hairpin, a thumbtack, a napkin, and a piece of twine. I am a professional bounty hunter...of mice and men. I have lunch with God every Tuesday. I learned the meaning of life two years ago, but forgot to write it down. I go backpacking through other people's backyards and hitch hike to the corner of my street. I invented love.

Too many women I know are oval and round; I want to be a thousand corners, a geometric dream of squares and lines, corners never blunted, never sanded. I want to be a line that goes on and on and turns and moves to right and left and up and down and forward; knowing where I'm gong but sometimes going somewhere else, to some new corner, darker, greater; not a circle, softly mincing, this way, that, ending up just where it started.

This stopped me in my tracks and without any open invitation, request to date, or even a decent start to a conversation I just messaged her to let her know I thought it was the coolest self explanation I have ever heard in my life. So much was I moved by her randomness that I felt she really would get my sense of humor and kept my fingers crossed that she would message me back. We talked via messages and instant messaging for a while until we made that always bold gesture to meet in the real world. I know, eerie! Always the back thought is what if this has all been some weird coincidence and everything's about to fall apart. To my now delight it in no way has fallen to pieces. Much like a quilt, it was pieces that started weaving together to form a beautiful tapestry of a new friendship and as it turned out a romance. That first night we stayed up talking till early dawn at IHOP and driving around. I hadn't connected with anyone like I had with her. Each new day brought us closer and closer until tonight I asked her out.

And she said... ;)
