must get this down before i forget or think it's a dream or something.
okay, so: there's this girl named Amira. she's ridiculously cute and doesn't know it. i've always believed she'd be a little too much work for me, but damn. Trevor lives with her, in her father's house. Trevor knows of her through (my other brother) Tanner. Tanner lived at her house before Trevor did. my family is horrible at house hunting, apparently. anyway, that's how i know her, first as Tanner's friend, then Tanner's roommate, now Trevor's roommate. anyway.
i was downtown, looking for something to do. i thought a friend of mine would be at Shakespeare's, but he wasn't. so i left, heading down 6th towards 35. thought about checking out Pure (last time i was there, $1 Lonestar), but they didn't appear to have anything special, so i kept walking.
it was then i ran into Amira. she was going to meet up with her best friend Emily, who just took her last final. but Emily didn't know where she was going, so she was lost too. so Amira and i walked and talked a bit, looking for Emily. Amira was sort of hoping Trevor was downtown, so she could buy him a drink, but i'm a (family name withheld), so i'd do in a pinch. we ran in to Emily around Congress. then we all walked right back to Shakespeare's. it was me, Amira, Emily, Jamie, Ravi, and Maggie. we had one drink at Shakespeares, then decided to head to The Library. (Amira says, "why go to one crappy bar, when you can go to two?")
we're at Shakespeare's, everybody having whatever time they were having, when i broke the news to Emily: Amira and I wanted to dance. we, separately of each other, wanted to dance. Amira suggested Barbarella, who was playing dancy 60s-70s music. Emily passed the motion by the rest of the board, who approved. so we headed off to Barbarella to try their dancing.
this is all boring to you so far, huh? yeah, would've been to me, too. if not for what happened at Barbarella.
we were at Barbarella. $2 PBR, James Brown-era dance music. Brilliant! i drank a PBR and talked to Maggie for a minute, before i tried dancing. (not drunk enough) Amira sat down beside us before i finished the first PBR (i bought two), so i offered her the second beer. we all talked for a minute before a song came on that made me say "i must dance". so Amira and i danced with Emily and Jamie and Ravi (Maggie wasn't feeling well, and so wasn't dancing) and it was fun. Amira and Emily went to the bathroom, i went to buy more beer.
as i was in (stupid fucking long-ass) line, Emily came by. i grabbed her and offered her a drink (like a gentleman), but she declined and added "you should get one for Amira." so when the bartender came to me and asked "whaddya want?", the only thing i could think of was "two Lonestars." i felt bad, but Amira drank it anyway. (she doesn't like Lonestar, you see)
we danced more. about 1:30, Maggie and Emily decided to go home. Jamie and Ravi are an actual couple, so they were off dry-humping somewhere. Amira and i danced. and danced. and to cut a long story short, we danced and kissed and i'm kinda sitting here stoned and typing this freaking out a tiny little bit. but i think i'm over-estimating the possible reaction of news like that getting out to the world.
we kissed. a lot. and well. she gave me a ride to my car, and we talked a little bit about what we were doing. we decided to go to our separate homes and sleep, then see how we feel in the morning. dear god, why do i feel the need to type this stuff out to strangers? weirdo. i kissed a girl who i've thought was very cute for a long time but who was off limits due to her relationship with my brother, and i just wanted the world to know. in a quiet way.
