In honor of Valentine's Day, and in preparation for finally getting back to my book, "Red Line to Dumpsville: my year of dating in Washington, DC" I'm thinking about all the men I've loved (and my girlfriends have loved. and hated) before and I want to know... what are yourr best/worst love/hate stories?
In a twist, I'm combining with favorite writing exercise, x365, in which you write each day on a person you've encountered in the number of words of your age (36 in my case). It's easier to show than tell, so here we go.
*******
16/365: Valentines: Yeah, well, I don’t really like Valentines Day,
you said. Too commercial, too expensive, too silly. Oh yah, of course,
me too. We don’t need pink heart-shaped cupcakes or anything. Ha! But
honestly? I did.
11/365: Seasons: On our first date, you LOVED me. You blew off a second. On the third, there was pizza, grammar, a kiss, and me sobbing. “So, I’ve seen all four seasons of you now,” you said.
This is from my X365 series http://washwords.com/words/2009/x365-returns-and-i-do-mean-x/ : Ex Edition
Please check it out and send me your best/worst tales from the dating crypt as a comment on this page. It doesn't have to be the exact right number of words, but keep to a paragraph or so please.
