[Insert loss of breath here] Okay, so I get home at about mid­night last night after I took Jon home from Perkins. Need­less to say, I was very tired. After notes dur­ing 4th hour, I decided to take a nap in the Green Room. I had prob­a­bly been asleep for about an hour when I feel a kiss on my neck and then two hands on my back. As I woke, I saw Sharon's beau­ti­ful face. Wow. This was cool. She sat with me for a while as I was lay­ing on the couch. But maybe I should get to the show before I go any far­ther with this…

So the show wasn't fan­tas­tic. We made a lot of mis­takes that shouldn't have been made. Mics weren't work­ing, lights skipped cues, stuff like that. But it was okay, I guess.

After the show, me = pissed. Not only am I dis­gusted with my per­for­mance this night, but I've been hear­ing for days that the only rea­son Sharon is pay­ing atten­tion to me is to use me to get back at Matt Calla­han, her boy of two years, recently ex. I heard it again as I was get­ting ready to leave, and I decided that I was going to con­front her on it.

We get in the car to go to Red Robin. She asks and I start telling her why I'm upset; I tell her that she was part of it and she asked me why. So I bluntly told her: "You, as well as every­body else, knows that I like you. Now I've been told that you're just play­ing with me, and if this is true then I would really like it if you would tell me."
Sharon (sum­mary): "Well, I actu­ally really do like you. I'm not using you to make Matt jeal­ous or for any­thing else. And the only rea­son that I've been going for you is that…"

Then we dis­cussed Matt a lit­tle bit more in depth and the fact that we've both been hurt so much in the past. Then we got to Red Robin.

[I'm gonna cut past the Red Robin time because it was rather uneventful.]

While I was dri­ving Sharon home, I told her that I believed her. When I pulled up in front of her house, out of nowhere, she plants me. This wasn't like the peck of last night. This was full-fledged. Need­less to say (I'm say­ing that a lot), I was spell­bound and didn't quite know how to react. After we kissed, she just said Bye and left.

Sure as this night leads to a sky of blue, sure as the gods meant me to be with you, Deep in your eyes I see the god's design, where my life is for­ever yours … and you are mine …
