Where we
met:
We met in 2004 while I was working in a call center for Cingular wireless.
I was good friends with his roomate at the time, Joe. All I knew of him
was that he was the weird kid who lived with Joe who had the funny red
shoes. Never in a million years did I expect us to end up together.
Beginings:
At the begining of 2005 we began to talk quite a bit. Mostly online and
mostly about our heartaches and breaks. The whole realization that I was
even remotly interested in him came in a dream I had about him. I blogged
about this dream on my myspace blog using the code name Fred because I
knew he would read it. Of course, he knew immidiately it was about him.
The blog read as follows...
Slightly freaky dream
Have you ever had a dream that made you open your eyes? Meaning, has a dream pointed something out to you that you never realized before?
Well last night I had the strangest dream. It was mainly about me and one of my guy friends that I really hadn’t thought abut in any other way besides just being friends. This dream was so crazy that I am actually beginning to think about him in more then just a friendly way. It was so freaky, I mean, ya know how if you are woken up from a dream you can’t just go back to sleep and pick up where you leave off? Well every time I was woken up I would go back to sleep and pick up right where I left. It was INSANE!
The dream began with me receiving a text message from my guy friend saying, “Come to the fair with me and let me win you a prize.” First of all, I can’t really picture this guy, lets call him “Fred”, I can’t picture ‘Fred’ saying that to me but whatever. In the dream I say okay and we go to the fair and it was fun and blah blah blah. The dream me thought that I was going to the fair with ‘Fred’ just as friends because the dream me, as well as the real me, know that ‘Fred’ probably doesn’t like me in a more than friendly way. It turns out that in my dream, ‘Fred’ seems to like me and he is quite affectionate while we are at the fair. Well, he held my hand and whatnot and as far as I know that’s not something I can picture ‘Fred’ doing. It was cute though. My date with ‘Fred’ ended with him giving me a short kiss and him asking me if we can hang out more.
It was actually a very detailed dream but I don't really want to get into it for fear that with my luck 'Fred' will figure out that this is about him lol. And in case you're a guy reading this, and you think you're 'Fred'...This is NOT about you! lol
Now any person trying to analyze this dream will probably tell me that it’s my subconscious trying to tell me that I like ‘Fred’. They’re probably right. I never really thought about…’Fred’ this way until this dream but it makes perfect sense. I mean, we’ve had flirty moments, nothing noticeable I don’t think, okay maybe that one time but we won’t get into it lmao. Anyway, yeah…dreams are weird. Of course I’m not taking it seriously, its just a little crush. I’ve learned my lessons about crushing. Its fine to have little crushes but don’t take them seriously unless HE makes the first move. And we all know that ‘Fred’ won’t be making any moves on me anytime soon. Eh. No biggie. Just thought I’d share the randomness.
hehehe...ooh, Amber, I am on to you! I know who Fred is, and I have $5 bucks right....*here* that says I do! You can't pull the wool over my eyes, now, no you can't!
With that out of the way, how is ditching work? Me, I just got my shiny new red badge today. "Robert Davis, Client Services..." ooh, sounds pretty spiffy.
So, you wanna go to the fair? I wanna win you a stuffed animal...haha I'm done...for now ^ _ ^.
Bobby
Hey Bobby,
Soooo…Yeah,
its you. Are you satisfied? Yes that stupid dream involved you. Yeah I
like you. Now stop teasing me about it! :-p
If you don’t like me back its completely fine. Don’t act different
towards me, we’re still friends, we can be mature about this. No
biggie. Here’s the information do with it what you want but at least
acknowledge it. We both know how it feels when you tell someone how ya
feel and they ignore it…that sucks. The ball is in your court. Enjoy.
Alrighty, there ya go.
Bye.

First
of all, I know it was a bit snotty sounding but I was trying to protect
myself. Alas, the whole night I was a wreck. I was completly afraid of
being rejected. I checked my messaged at least 50 times each hour, when
finally, at 11:16pm (yes I know I only waited 2 hours but it felt much
longer) I got a response from him. The main jist of the message was that
he felt the same about me but he didn't want to risk our friendship. I
felt the same way.
So of course I was giddy. This guy I liked actually liked me back! I called
Sarah and freaked out!
Eventually, Bobby came online and instant messaged me. I really had no idea what to say. To be honest, I don't really remember much of the conversation but at about 12:14AM on July 2, 2005 we were a couple!
First Date:
We had our first official date that same night. I went to his apartment
to pick him up and I was sooo nervous. I had no idea what to do or even
if I was supposed to kiss him hello!
Since I am such a coffee nut, we stopped at Starbucks first. YUM! From
there we decided to go to the park. It was a beautiful night, we walked
around and eventually sat down on the grass under a big tree. We talked
about all kinds of different things. It was nice. Then, of course Bobby
used his famous line, "I've been thinking about kissing you all night..."
and I, being the extremly smooth talker that I am replied with a "Then
why haven't you?" So then and there in the middle of the park, we
shared our first kiss. Followed by Bobby choking on the gum he was chewing.
It was so cute!
After the park we went to Circus Circus where he proceeded to win me a stuffed tiger (that we still have) named Squishy.

Our Song:
Brighter Than Sunshine by Aqualung
I never understood
before
I never knew what love was for
My heart was broke, my head was sore
What a feeling
Tied up in ancient
history
I didnt believe in destiny
I look up you're standing next to me
What a feeling
What a feeling in
my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
Brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, i don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine
And it's brighter than sunshine
I never saw it happening
I'd given up and given in
I just couldn't take the hurt again
What a feeling
I didn't have the
strength to fight
Suddenly you seemed so right
Me and you
What a feeling
What a feeling in
my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
It's brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, I don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine
It's brighter than
the sun
It's brighter than the sun
It's brighter than the sun, sun, shine.
Love will remain a
mystery
But give me your hand and you will see
Your heart is keeping time with me
What a feeling in
my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
It's brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, I don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine
I got a feeling in my soul ... [repeat chorus to end]
