Guess I'm the hypocrite now.

Well...I honestly never thought this day would come. No, not the day I was a hypocrite, everyone is one to a varying degree. It's just what I'm being hypocritical about that's so...interesting, I guess.

Remember Marc? Yeah, of course you do. That one 'Spawn of Satan' that I started talking about last fall? That guy who hurt Alex?

Ahaha...I went on a date with him yesterday.

^ That's what I thought it would be like...but...once you get past his tough 'outer layer', he's actually quite a gentleman. He was very sweet, bought me a drink, took me to two museums, paid for everything. Plus afterwards I let him come over (get your mind out of that gutter!) and we played pool, Life (mmhm...shut up) and read the comics. Then we ate chips, talked, and he gave me a kiss.

Oh my God! It was...really swell! Not what I had been expecting at all. Seriously.
Waaay better than any other kiss I had gotten. It was surprising, since he literally just cupped my face in his hand when we were sitting and pulled me close.

And I asked him about the whole Alex breakup thing and got the full story as to why he acted the way he did: she is two years younger than him and he felt like a pedophile, but was too afraid to say that. (Remember at the time they were 'dating', she was 14, him 16...a HUGE difference in age for teenagers!)

So now I understand moreso why he was like that. At the same time, I'm glad I wrote him that letter. And sent it to him. And made him cry.

Yeah, now I'm the fucking hypocrite.

.....

Well, I'll just have to wait and see what happens next. After all, it was only a first date. We're not technically "going out", because I made it clear that I want to go slow.

Yeah, that's what's new in my life.

I will let you know what else happens in the world of S.O.S. and I!
