the great bridge reconstruction project of 2003
so, remember how in this post, "this bridge will self-destruct in five seconds," someone commented on how disappointing the serbian lover was for trading in the cool old boat car for a shiny new jetta??

well, he didn't.

i saw steven at the pete yorn concert the other night. and yes, i didn't avoid him this time.

we talked for a while, and then when it came time to introduce erik, i couldn't bring myself to say, "this is my fiance, erik," like a lameass excited engaged person who likes the sound of the word "fiance." i didn't think it was appropriate.
instead: "steven, this is erik. we're getting married."

i also brought up the fact that i had seen him at the gas station in his jetta.
"what?"
"i saw you! i swear! at the mira mesa chevron! in a blue jetta! a few weeks ago!"
"oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah, that was me. i had rented the jetta so i could drive to the bay area. i'd never get rid of my boat."

so, all is well in the world again. bridges are rebuilt. jettas are rented. pete yorn rocked.
