Becx
Becx is a girl I first met years back, when me and Rob were both single. She was in Jaks (nightclub) every single night. As were we, pretty much, what with neither of us being in a position where we had to care about turning up to work hungover or drunk at the time.Becx is not really my type. We ended up in bed together all that time ago, but nothing happened, and we both kind of acknowledged at that point that it wasn't going to.
Anyway, tonight, I went for a haircut after work (see, this is my typical approach to decisions. My actual thought process was this: Tomorrow is Sunday. That means the buses are gonna be crap. That, in turn, means I have to walk, taxi, or bike to work tomorrow if I sleep at home. On the other hand, Simon goes out every Saturday night, lives 5 minutes from work, and can usually be relied upon to have spare sofa space. Therefore, there is a viable argument for sleeping at Si's and going to work from there. But it's a work night so I shouldn't drink. OK, the deciding factor: If I can make it to the barbers in time for a cut tonight, I get to go out. If not, I stay in). Heading to the bus stop from the barbers, I bump into Becx again. We recognise each other, and there's an awkward "hi, how are you" thing for a few minutes, then suddenly, we're comfortable talking again. It's like we only saw each other yesterday. So I ask her if she fancies a drink while we catch up. She agrees, we head to the pub.
We spend maybe an hour catching up, and it turns out she's pretty heavily into local bands and live music just lately, which is a scene I want to familiarise myself with again, having been out of it for so long on account of Tracy not sharing my enjoyment of loud bangy music.
So, we've swapped numbers and MSN addy's, and agreed to become 'after work drinking buddies'. It is *not* going to go any further (she's still not my type), but she's a great girl, and we really get on well, so it'd be a shame to just be passing acquaintances.
Life, eh? Take the good with the bad, or give up.
