Personal → Long overdue
So I haven’t posted this here for some reason yet but I aim to fix that now. On Halloween 2009 I went out to a party with my roommate. I had a bad feeling about going out that night, just a sort of horrible dread. I’m not sure what made me feel like that but I really wasn’t in the mood. I went anyways, because well it was supposed to be an epic party. I had this terrible feeling until the moment I walked in the door. There weren’t very many people there. The feeling suddenly left but was replaced with “Oh wow this is not epic at all.” There were only two girls there and a few guys at this point. I thought to myself well damn I had hoped to practice my game a little and do some flirting tonight. I hope some more show up but I’ll work with what I’ve got for the time being.” I put my beer in the fridge and went back to introduce myself. Turns out that I already knew one of those girls. I had met her at a club awhile back and had flirted a bit with her before I found out she had a boyfriend. Scratch that one off I guess. So I then turned my attention to the other chick. She was sitting on my roommate’s friend’s lap but I knew that didn’t necessarily mean anything. Unknown to me at this point she had called dibs on me as I had walked in the door. And so it began.
In order to get the party started Tommy (my roommate) and I started a beer pong game. We were against Becca (the girl in question) and James (my roommate’s friend) There was of course a fair amount of flirting going back and forth between Becca and I as we played. Then the cops showed up.
It was pretty funny, there weren’t that many people there, more than when I had arrived but it wasn’t much of a party at this point. It was only 8:30 so the cops were way early. Everyone lined up and IDs were checked to my surprise Becca turned out to be 21. I had thought she was about to be busted for underage drinking. The funniest thing about the cops showing up was that they couldn’t get anyone in trouble. Everyone drinking was over 21 and everyone that was showing up were commenting on how awesome the cop’s costumes were. It was a Halloween party you know. There was of course the look of surprise on the new arrival’s faces when suddenly they see the line up against the wall and the laughter of all of us at their shock that they were real cops. The cops stayed for about 15 to 20 mins, then left empty handed with sour looks on their faces. Good riddance. They shouldn’t have been there. The party was neither loud or wild or a haven for underage drinking.
Of course now that I knew Becca was 21 I was a little bit more interested then I had been. I had been treating it as practice and a good night nothing more. We went back and forth at each other and I could tell she liked me. At some point we went outside. I don’t remember how it exactly happened but Becca ended up biting me on the neck. Hard. Left a freaking mark that took days to go away. I was not all that amused with having blood drawn from my neck so I decided I would show her my bite. I bit her back, although much less hard and then walked away. Becca is not a girl used to guys walking away from her, she was not amused by it. However I think it pretty much assured that she wanted to get to know me better.
I don’t need to go into every little detail on what has happened since that night but I will say that Becca has turned out to be an amazing woman. We started dating on Friday the 13th Nov. A fitting date since we met on Halloween I think. Things are going well. Too well in fact and I don’t mean that fake too well where you don’t have any fights and agree on everything. That’s fake and is bound to crash. Becca and I have had a couple fights but other than that I can’t complain.
In fact I’m doing the opposite. Halloween has been a rather odd holiday for me since a bad Halloween a few years ago, how fitting that the worse day of my life and the start of something brand new and amazing fall on the same date.

Good for you, man. Hi, I’m Nick. You might know me as the ex-boyfriend from such harsh blog entries on my web site as, “The Becca Affair Pt 1 & 2″, or my ability to write zany, often times incoherent random messages to Becca at odd hours of the night. Either way, my point in writing you is two fold: 1. I’m happy you get to see Becca at one of her best points, and from my perspective (having known her two years prior to you), she is on the up climb right now and you’re a lucky man. 2. Your positivity reaches farther than you know. I met Becca under two different pretenses. The first was hope and the second was redemption. Both times I was looking for something more and this caused a rift with Becca and I, yet our uncanny ability to connect on deeper levels (as you two are obviously doing), is one of her most admirable qualities. I either loved Becca with unbridled passion or I held her in such contempt I could not stand her (hence the semi-harsh blog entries on my site). Either way, I wish you two the best.
Keep writing. If it’s cool with you, I’ll stay in touch and jump in and say hi from time to time.

Nice to meet you Nick, been hearing a lot from Becca about you. Mostly your writings. I am glad to have met her at this stage even though our paths have apparently almost crossed so many times before we actually met that we feel like we’ve already known each other for a long time. I think meeting at an earlier point may not have played out the same way as it has thus far. What can I say right place, right time.
It’s alright if you stick around, doesn’t bother me.
