The boy my parents forbid me to see, that I dated for nine months behind their backs. Six years older than me, was sweet and a virgin. Years later, I finally deflowered him.

New at our school in sixth grade, and was just the hottest thing I’d ever seen in his little preppy pink shirt. Was later on The Bachelor, and was even hotter grown up.
x365/57: The One Armed Boy April 5, 2009
Wanted to be the “best one armed conductor in the world”. Came from close to my college town and didn’t seem to want to leave. Rumors of his prowess were greatly exaggerated. By him.

First date after my divorce. I don’t know why eHarmony.com would think that a small, Hispanic bicycler with a picture of the Pope above his bed would be a good match for me.

The glue of our family, the one that made us all be respectful. Laughed until the tears ran silently down his face. “I’m standing strong now, cause I once sat on your knee.”

Spent most of my childhood with her; she loved me more than my mother was capable of. All she wanted from me was to get married and have babies. She saw the first.

I think I married him because he danced with me in the kitchen, and woke me singing “Unchained Melody”. It made me think he was a different man. I’m sorry I was wrong.

Crazy landlord that lived below us. Wouldn’t correct snoring and we couldn’t sleep. When we confronted him about all the horrible things about that house, drew pentagrams in salt on our front step.

Former co-worker; computer guy. Hit on him mercilessly, without results. Could never tell if he was gay – had an ex-finance, but also a “roommate” and a very small dog. Fun to drink with.

Boyfriend who had “dropped out” of experimental chemistry to work in a bookstore, and lived off his portfolio. Made soap but never used it himself. I was drunk most of those six weeks.
