~Meet Joely D~

I met Joely thru the Keg Leg, WAY WAY back in the day when I was still with Bock and us kids were partying @ Kell's house on a Saturday night b/c we were too young to go to a bar.

Strike that, the first time I met Joely was @ Kyle's house (the guitarist of BEST DEATH EVER). Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the first time I ran into him. Anyway, it was a million years ago and I have run into him quite happenstance @ TEMPLE a few times (we both attended college there) and other BDE shows. (((Last night @ Monks Cafe for insanely good foreign beer and food we were trying to remember if we've seen each other since 2002; I miaintain that we have not but he seems to think there was another meeting somewhere in there.)))

The last time I saw him I got his cell # with the full intention of calling and hanging with him @ some point. That never happened as I had a new boyfriend and he had a girl and these things happen...as they are of course meant to happen.

Until Friday, August 26th, after going through yet another "crisis" with my sister and having just a shite day all around, my 2nd mate Keg Leg Kell came down to Filthy to ravage South Street. We started @ Manny Browns and ended up @ the NEW WAVE, where I've been spending so much time I should just start working there with Carey. Keg Leg and The Bastard were leaving, I got up from the Megatouch machine I was hoarding to say good bye to them and walk them out............................when who should be at the bar getting a pitcher of lager but Joely D?

I was a lil tipsy so perhaps I was a little overly happy to see him--and since Kell was staying and it was early yet, Joely invited me to join his friends for some beer, pool, and conversation. We talked about everything and nothing~drunken speak is often roundabout and inhibited. Upon leaving the NEW WAVE he came over and watched UPRIGHT CITIZENS BRIGADE, SEVEN, and ended up crashing @ my place.

Saturday morning we had breakfast @ the South St. diner and parted ways. Exchanging numbers, and knowing he was working all weekend, I restrained myself until Monday to call him. Upon which we made plans to get together again.

Dinner @ MONKS, talk of BLOC PARTY for my birthday and QUIZZO next Monday, more UCB, plans to see each other Wednesday, oh yes kittlings, a decent boy might just be in my life right now. If nothing else, he is too cute and super sweet.

I mean, for crying out loud, he refills the water filter EVERY time he gets water from the fridge. Now that is a keeper right there.

I refuse to obsess and count all my chickens before they hatch. We are having a good time and for once this month, I think things are sorta, kinda, going my way. Even if his parents are a bit of the religious zealot-type and he still lives in the suburbs. :wink:
