She was a friend of a former female friend, met at college.
We'd all hung out in the same "group" for a little while, we hadnt spoken much on our own.
When we DID, I asked her to buy me a coke, and (check it out, how SMOOOOOTHE is THIS) that in exchange, I'd buy her lunch sometime. It didn't really happen at this stage.
So...I kinda dissapeared for around a month, decided at the time that work was more important, and when I came back, about 5 people I knew from my course told me this girl had been looking for me. Turns out it was her, so yeah, we caught up, hung out in the group a little more, and one time she'd finished her classes for the day, I walked her to the local train platforms and asked for her number, at which point she said she was thinkin' about giving it to me anyway.
So yeah, we talked on the phone a little, actually...a lot. I didn't have a home phone connected at the time, so I'd head out to local phonebooth, and give her a call...we talked HEAPS...and yeah, eventually one day after college, we decided to go out. Of course, the former female friend tagged along...which kinda sucked, but when she left, we actually started having a pretty cool time.
I think we played some videogames, went and got some food, and chilled in this big-ass park, where we talked heaps and I threw little sticks down her top, which, of course, was charming.
So that's pretty much it really, gave her a kiss when she left, called her place a few times to make sure she got back ok, and yeah...pretty much took it from there.
I was going through a pretty shitty time at home at this point, my "family" if you can call it that, was severely FUCKED. So yeah, she offered for me to come stay with her for a while, and I accepted.
That was quite some time ago now ('99 I think), and we've been together since, through fights, break-up/make-ups, study, hospital stays, long term family reunions (actually, she supported me heaps when I went to meet my father for the first time in about 12 years) and all other manner of ups 'n downs...so yeah, we tolerate eachother pretty well, and don't let a bunch of petty bullshit come between us, I think that's the important thing.
Ok, I'm done writing now...
