Write to Save Your Life

Painter at Easel (1631), Gerrit Dou

Sunday, June 16, 2002

It was only after three bottles of champagne and eighteen episodes of Sex in the City with Dave, Damen, Pope, and Veronica, that I was able to call it a productive day. Pope had to leave halfway through the viewing, but the rest of us managed to sit through the entire season without stopping, ordering Chinese take-out for dinner and sipping Mimosas. It was the perfect, slow Saturday.

Instead of heading out with the girls for a night at the bars, I took my leave to get a head start on sleep for the big Father's Day plans today. Steve stayed Friday with his 3-year-old Dalmatian and we would be lucky to have gotten two hours of shut-eye. My body is going into automatic pilot every few minutes, indicating its disapproval of my late hours.

Pondering relationships and neuroses over my drive home, a conversation with Cale came to mind in which we discussed video games and how one learns certain techniques, commands, characters, and story lines for a game. Once the game has been finished, everything learned is basically moot.

Looking back on my past relationships, I see certain things I learned for each individual—Jeff's diet requirements, putting a towel in the shower for Chris, "safe" phone lingo with Kurt, sexual idiosyncrasies, etc.—and wonder if that has been equally pointless in the end.

On another note, it is a wonderful feeling to come home to your own place, your own space.
