 And
the Annie Saga Begins...
We first met November 27, 2002, the week right before
Thanksgiving. Her dorm was going to close and her flight
wasn't for another day. So I offered her a night at
my house. It was our first time meeting. I wasn't really
supposed to meet her for another week or so. So I drive
down to San Diego State University (and everyone here
knows how much I hate DRIVING) and picked her up. After
seeing her for the first time I knew the drive was worth
it.
She was wearing the cutest little outfit and a cute
matching skull cap. We walked around her campus for
a little while, she needed to do a couple errands before
we left. I've only known her for about a week so there
were a couple instances of silent awkwardness. But as
soon as we started the ride home, everything was getting
more comfortable.
We stop by to eat at Carino's Cuisine. Very good
Italian restaurant. Of course I had my favorite dish,
Chicken Parmiagiana. So we get to my house, watch a
couple movies, go online and just hang out. We had some
Boba later on that evening at a nearby Tapioca Express.
And for the rest of the night we just had a pleasant
quiet evening. We burnt some candles and added a little
romanticism. And that's about as far of detail I'm gonna
go
 .
 We
woke up and she made some pancakes for breakfast. Her
flight was at 4 so we left that house at 1. OMG! That
was the worst traffic I've ever been to. It took me
nearly an hour and a half to get through 5 miles of
freeway! I tried my best to get there on time but I
had just missed it by 10 minutes.
So rather than wait at the airport, we took a couple
minutes to enjoy the San Diego dock right next to the
airport. It was windy, but it was one of those moments
you just didn't want to end. Fortunately Annie was able
to catch a later flight and still make it home to her
family for Thanksgiving.
On November 30, 2002, Annie wrote me the cutest letter
on her Yahoo Messenger cam. I completely did not expect
it. It read "Charles will you be my boyfriend." I've
never had a proposal on webcam before. So I quickly
contemplated it and I saw that she was praying that
I'd say yes... so I said YES
 .
 Every
week I'd go to see her and we'd go out to downtown SD
and eat nice dinners and do whatever just to have fun
with each other. And then she had to leave for her Christmas
break... that's when everything fell apart.
I like a lot of different things about Annie. She
always gave me these comforting little kisses and when
she smiled her dimples just brightened up the room.
When we were on webcam me and her would draw the cutest
drawings that often turned sexual, but you all know
how I am
.
And I liked the fact that the little things really meant
something to her.
My favorite thing she made me was this collage of
all the little things that were involved with us being
a couple. It was a poster with a Shrek picture (the
first movie we saw together), a Hard Rock Cafe picture
(which was our first couple dinner together), a Stitch
picture (cuz she knows how much I adore my Stitch dolls),
the song Spend my Life written all around the collage,
a couple of the notes I had written to her, and most
importantly... this little message...
 "Dearest
Charles, I feel so blessed to have met you. I dunno
if that makes any sense, but you get what I'm trying
to tell you. There are a million things that I love
about you, there are a million things I want to share
with you. I hope you have the best X-mas ever! I want
to make you as happy as you have made me. Love, Your
most favoritest GF ever aka Annie."
I dunno what happened since then. But ever since
she went back home, something changed between us. She
got to my point where I would have done anything to
make her happy, even if it meant leaving her alone.
There are only a few people in this world that can hurt
me... and she had become one of them...
I don't know what it is about me that gets girls
to that point where they can't handle being in a relationship
with me. Even if everything goes good it just all falls
apart. I tried to believe that I might have a future
with Annie.. but I'm not gonna force anything that doesn't
want to happen. Everything was perfect in the first
month... but the Saga ends Jan 3, 2003
