Red Sunrise

Yes, I know it's been like two months since I've posted an update. I've been busy with life. I just came back from the Bahamas with my amazing girlfriend and school is kicking my ass energy wise. Right now though I want to tell the story of how I met my girlfriend. It's a fun story and I gotta say. This has been the best coincidence in my life.

I awoke Canada Day morning to my parents fighting yet again. I tried not to let it get me down. I refuse to let anything spoil my smile first thing in the morning. I played some video games and browsed the web. My Mother came down a few hours later asking if I had anything planned for Canada Day. I told her I didn't because all my friends were out of town. She asked if I wanted to see a movie with her and my Step Father. I figured why not since it beats doing shit all.

The movie we went to see was Ted. Great movie if you haven't seen it. The only problem was my Step Father didn't enjoy the movie at all. He didn't laugh once. I am dead serious. Not a smile, a chuckle or anything. Because of this, on the car ride home while my mom and I were repeating the parts we found funny in the car, he started to get angry. He started a fight with my mom in the car and that sparked a several hour fight. Yay.....

I didn't feel like listening to them say terrible things to eachother so I decided I'd go for a nice 1-5 hour relaxing walk. Remember, I have new lungs that must be kept in shape so I try to get a good amount of exercise in each day. Walking during the Summer is my exercise. I have several Auido Books on my Ipod so I can be gone for hours by the time I get bored and decide to head back home. It was getting late by the time I left. If I remember right, it was about 8pm.

I was about an hour into my walk when I ran into a friend. Her name is Adrienne. Adrienne is about 5'6, short orange hair, average wait, and a hippy. Well, Adrienne was sitting on a Patio infront of a restaurant with someone I've never met before. Her name was Sam. Sam had cute long red hair, she's about 5'4, maybe weighs 110 pounds, great smile, super sexy body, and a great laugh.

Adrienne invites me to join them and tells me that Sam is waiting on a date and that she is here as a scape goat should something go wrong and can get them out of there quick. I figured cool and that was what I thought would be the final time I'd consider Sam in a "Maybe I can date her" Light. I'm not an asshole and I'd never try to cockblock a guy. Just not a cool move to do in my mind.

Sam, Adrienne, and me talk for what seemed like many hours. I get excited whenever I can tell someone my stories. I love telling them. It turned out Sam has also had medical issues. She has Crohns and has had many complications because of them so she was really interested in my stories and I was really interested in hers. After about 2 hours of story sharing her date shows up. He's this typical fit, good looking guy who snowboards and parties. After he showed up I figured any tiny, microscopic chance I had with Sam was gone. I couldn't compete with a good looking healthy guy who could afford good things. So, I was just fully myself. I joked, I told gross stories, I insulted myself. Was a blast.

It hits 2am very fucking quick and our checks come. The Waitress put Sam's meal on my check by mistake but it didn't bother me. I was in "New Friend" mode at this point so I said "Whatever, I'll pay for it. No sweat off my back. Adrienne knows I do this stuff all the time". Adrienne nods her head in agreement. I go in to pay and Sam's date is just ignoring me. He seems mad at me for some reason and I had no idea why. I wasn't hitting on Sam, and I was trying to make him look good.

We pay our bills and we decide to go walking and enjoy the Canada Day street partying. Sam and her date are walking beside eachother talking and I'm walking with Adrienne. After walking around for 2 hours, her date had to go. They said their goodbyes and it was just Sam, Adrienne, and me. We start walking back to Adrienne's house where Sam was spending the night. When we get 2 blocks away from her house Sam turns to me and asks "So, Randy, are you single?". I was confused and stunned, and shocked. My mind exploded. I responded like an idiot. "I....uh...what?....no, I'm single". She just smiles and says "Good".

My mind is freaking out at this point. Girls have never done anything like that. It threw my whole world upside down.

We get to Adrienne's place and say our goodbyes. Sam gives me a very passionate kiss and gives me her phone number. We make a date for later in the week and we've been dating since.

And that's how I went on a walk to relax and ended up with a girlfriend. We've been dating strong since and I have never felt this way about someone in my life. I'm terrified, yet excited. I know my rejection will cause her nothing but pain but she has said countless times that she will be here to end and that makes me so happy. I've never had that before.

Anyways, so ya. That's my love story. I have some more stories coming soon. I should have one every two weeks. I'll be posting about the Bahamas soon and if I ever figure out how to post pictures. You'll get those too.
