So here’s a year I remember pretty well. Or at least my version of it. I met a woman at a Super Bowl party that year. And it was quite a great day and the funny thing is that you would think meeting at a Super Bowl party would be a great sign. And it sorta was but then things went a bit south. She was a bit anal and I wasn’t. We got on each other’s nerves after the honeymoon period and then it went back and forth like that. We traveled together and that was ok but it also wasn’t. I remember one trip we flew back from and I decided to go to my house and not back to hers. So that’s a sign.
Anyway, for some reason the turmoil made me decide to skip doing a Thanksgiving drawing. Not sure what the exact reason was but I feel maybe it was almost a spite thing to not share this part of me with her, which says more about me probably. I wish I could see the outgoing emails from the following year and see if I included her but we didn’t part on the best of terms so I think it is what it is. We broke up in January of 2008 and actually watched that years Super Bowl to have some closure. But I’m glad I went through that experience to show me that I wasn’t ready to have a relationship or at least that I shouldn’t get into one unless I was absolutely sure about the woman.
