How I came to love..

(the abbreviated version)
Once upon a time, i was cleaning my apartment.
I had Britannie's playlist on and it was keeping me company, as it often does.
A song shuffled on.. the vocals captivating..
It was Green Gloves by the National (our eyes met)

time passes

Emily the Cliff makes a mix CD for Valentines Day
One of the tracks toward the end, "The Clampdown" by The National
(The National is flirting with me now)

some more time passes

I am listening to The Arcade Fire Radio on pandora.com and there is that voice again (heart jumps a little)
"Slow Show" by The National
(the National did it, it asked for my number)

Shortly there after, I spend money I don't have and buy Boxer.
(It's our first date, I don't know how I feel at first. It's a mixture of nervous and very at ease. It becomes apparent very quickly that I am falling.. fast and hard..

The rest, as they say, is history..

delightful! it's always fun to be in on the I-was-there-when-they-met story.

(I saw your car in the parking lot again this morning and just wanted to find you, give up on the day and hang out)
