about seattle

in lieu of my friend's trip to seattle for a wedding (not her's), i thought i'd share my story of seattle.

i flew to seattle 6 years ago for my best friend's wedding. i was the best man, which basically meant i got to where a tuxedo and help clean up after the reception while he and his new wife had sex in the dressing room.

when i got home, i thought i was also supposed to get married. it seemed to be the in thing that year (as it is every year in happy valley). i was soon pseudo-engaged to the girl i was dating at the time.

we started ring shopping and i was talking to her folks to get permission to transfer the possesion of her from her father to me. during that time, i discovered that she didn't like to keep score when we played scrabble, so i broke up with her. ok, there were other things too... among them, the realization that i didn't enjoy being around her. a good reason to break things off, i think. i was scared she was going to kill herself (also found out she hadserious issues with clinical depression). luckily, she only cut herself up some.

a week later, i was booked into the utah county jail for completely unrelated reasons.

on the bright side, i remember that seattle was really green - compared to the drab brown of utah.

that is my story of seattle. do not let it happen to you.
