[i am exploring ways of setting off blocks of text so i can include stories. comments are more than welcome. dawn(at)gweep.net]

so, this letter comes in the mail addressed to "current single resident". of course i open it. it's from a company called The Right One.

"The Right One is a relationship company dedicated to providing the utmost effort in helping you meet The Right One. We have the best people in the industry who recognize how important it is for you, as a single person, to have a special relationship in your life. However, in today's busy world, it gets more and more difficult for you to find the time to search for The Right One."

included is a Confidential Screening Profile Form. "This preliminary questionnaire is designed to provide key combatibility factors concerning you and the person you would like to meet."

one of the questions is, "What is your social situation?" choices are: dating various people, not dating anyone, new to the area, too busy to meet eligible people, in a dead-end relationship, recently ended a relationship.

no choice for "dating someone, but he's the devil. no, really."

damn.

Sometimes I feel I've got to [bumbum]
get some pie I've got to [bumbum]
have some pie of the kind that you make with facility
The pie you serve seems to numb my nerves
And I curl up tight for I puke and wretch on the floor all night
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted pie I've eaten
I've eaten all a man could stomach
Drank my beers and that's not nearly all
Oh...tainted pie
Tainted pie

heard outside my office door:
"rick said if she's still here, not to do anything. if she's not here, turn off the lights and lock the door."
"that's it? ok. is she still here?"
"yeah, she is."

i was tempted to holler,
"she can hear you. she has a name. and it is dawn. and she knows you should know that, because she heard rick telling you."

i heart my office.
