August 5, 2002

Two posts in one day?! Yes, it's true. I had to post my love story happenings for 7 years ago today. So for those not keeping count of the days August 5, 2002 landed on a Monday. I decided Chris needed to know this was business, and me never being scared to ask a boy out did the unthinkable and did...ask him... out.

My brother Timmy's birthday was on the 29th and I had bought tickets to the Weezer concert. I now wanted to ask Chris to come with us but there wasn't a 3rd seat by the pair I already bought and I couldn't take the ticket from Tim so... what to do?! Oh, just buy two more tickets so Tim could bring a date. Problem solved, I just need to ask Chris...

I thought it was so funny that Chris would tell me about his fax machine at work so I had the GENIUS idea of faxing him to ask him out. But I had to call him at work first to make sure his fax machine was in proper working order. The following is the correspondence between me and Chris.

Notes to reader of these faxes to properly understand.
1. I was a Nursury Teacher at the time.
2. M. Night Shyamalan is the director of Signs the movie we saw Saturday night. And Chris talked on and on about how fantastic he was.
3. Zimbabwe is the ice machine that polishes the ice at the rink. That's not really what it's called but that's what I called it Friday ice skating like the dork I am... hmmm...still can't think of the correct name.
4. Tim was supposed to see Signs with us too but bailed out last minute.
5. Chris likes to look for mistakes in movies and found on in Signs.
6. For some reason when we exchanged numbers ice skating night I made sure I got his cell, work AND fax number.









The fact that I wasn't totally disgusted by this last fax shows just how twitterpated I was. Any other guy I would have been turned off.


There you have it, the real documents of new love. Looking through these faxes today after not seeing them for years flooded me with those feelings of excitement I had that entire day we spent faxing each other.
