"Ken and Amber broke up. It's such a shame. Right after the break up, things were really hard, for everyone. But things are much better now. Amber asked Michael on a date. She surprised him with flowers and then asked him. I admire her so much for that - she seems so brave - almost like she can bounce back from anything. As for me, I'm still wondering how long this single thing is going to last. I'm going to start blind double-dating with as many friends as I can. I'm creating what I so long to be a part of. But there's Bud. I have the hugest crush on Bud right now - even though I rarely see him and even more rarely do I talk to him. But I have a plan...I have this "friend" named Juliana who I weant to set Bud up with. So, if it works out the way I want it to, I'll pick Bud up or meet him at a cafe and we'll wait for Juliana and the date she's bringing for me. But Juliana doesn't exist! Neither does the other date! So we'll talk while we're waiting, then I'll recommend that we go somewhere or do something and I'll see where to go from there."
Amber was my foil - happy and positive when I invariably was not.
Brilliant plan...sounds like a plot from a sitcom. How'd it work?
ReplyDeleteBTW - I'd love to see how Amber would respond to being your foil. Whether she was REALLY that happy & positive or if it just felt like it. I have the feeling she was probably going thru some rough times as well trying to figure out who she was.
I very much so agree with you. I haven't told her about the blog because I'm ashamed of how jealous and impatient I was with her. Same with Carrie. And they were my besties.
