It’s silly, I know, but I am really looking forward to meeting someone this weekend. <\/p>\n

Why is it silly?<\/p>\n

I meet people all the time. <\/p>\n

I usually enjoy it. <\/p>\n

Weekends are good.<\/p>\n

I usually enjoy them. <\/p>\n

Why wouldn’t I be happy about a weekend with a congenial person?<\/p>\n

Well. <\/p>\n

It involves a drive. <\/p>\n

I like drives.<\/p>\n

It involves a ferry ride. <\/p>\n

I like ferries. <\/p>\n

It involves being on an island. <\/p>\n

Also something I like. <\/p>\n

Water. Sun. Mountains. <\/p>\n

Like. Like. Like. <\/p>\n

New person?<\/p>\n

Is that scary?<\/p>\n

You know? It really isn’t. <\/p>\n

It’s exciting. <\/p>\n
