Astounding News!
My body was attacked by a disease last Thursday (though KS insists "disease" is a tad mellow dramatic) thus I spent most of the weekend sleeping and slouching around the house eating Ramen; and so it happened that I was home Saturday afternoon when my phone rang....
As I glanced at the caller ID my eyes nearly goggled themselves out of their sockets for the display showed none other than the infamous, and long assumed lost cause, SS was calling! I stared utterly amazed at the caller ID for a few rings before answering.
When I finally picked up and dazedly said "Hello", he returned the hello and asked how I had been as if nearly two months to the day had not passed since we last spoke. He claimed to have been in Italy for the past two months "smelling the roses". He did not say why he neglected calling before leaving, nor did I ask, and he did not apologize. I was not at my conversational best since I was still quite stunned to be hearing from him. He asked how life was going, said that he had wanted to call and hear my voice and then asked if I would like to get dinner sometime to which I replied "that would be nice". I am still amazed to have heard from him despite that in June I said, and J can attest to this, that if I ever did hear from him again it would be in about two months and his absences would be explained by being in Europe.
For a male perspective I ran this odd story by J's new man (also a J) Saturday night. Hopped up on Dayquil and cough drops I chanced going downtown w/ the girls to Ethel's, a chocolate a la Starbucks cafe, which turned out to be a little lame despite the excellent chocolate. Incidentally CZ drove and brought her friend from highschool along which made for two very giggly girls and a terrifying, near-accident riddled trip. Anyway, after ditching Ethel's in favor of a bar we piled into CZ's car (I drove this time!), at which point I regaled the group w/ SS's suprising resurrection. J's first response was, "well, he's calling for booty" haha... His second set of thoughts, with which I also concurr, is that I need to determine if I want any type of serious relationship with a guy who does not feel the need to let me know he's leaving for two months. As it happens I don't want anything serious with someone like that, however I didn't want anything serious with SS from the start. So, if he still wants to take me dining, dancing, skydiving etc. then I am forewarned and entirely game.
