I have a Bonnie.
Yep yep, I have a Bonnie all right, and she is curled up asleep on my bed. Adorable, yes? If it wasn't so chaotic, I would have explained everything. Since it is morning, and since it is quiet, I feel I owe myself and the world an explanation.
Let me start with Bonnie and why she is here. Her b/f for more than a year lied to her about a lot of things, and so she made a pilgrimage out to California to see him. I have known Bon for 6 years now, and this is by far the craziest thing she has done yet. Anyway, her b/f was keen on backing out, and if he didn't show up at the airport, I was going to drive from Monterey to Sacramento to pick her up. That was Saturday. He showed up.
She couldn't stay 2 nights at his place. Sunday I drove to Sacramento with Makari, met at the Galleria, and drove back to Monterey, all in an 8 hour period. No more driving for Jakob for a while if he can help it. So I say anyway. Cost me a tank and a half of gas too. It was worth it though.
Oh how it was worth it.
I can't explain the emotions in my head right now. I honestly never thought I would be sitting on my bed watching Bonnie use my computer to check her email. It was one of those things we always talked about. "If you ever find a way out here Bon, I promise you a place to stay, food to eat, and a bed to sleep on." I look over my shoulder and see her asleep. She's never been happier in all six years I have known her.
And it makes an odd feeling in me, knowing I helped make someone so happy. Total elation doesn't even come close. I will provide more of the "Bonnie Story" as the days unfold, but now, I need to change gears.
Last night, knowing Bonnie was safe in Sacramento, I went to Bryan's for a party. I didn't drink, smoked a little, and called it a night. I know I was still worrying about Bonnie, since I almost never smoke. I am so glad I lack the motivation to go by cigs, less I would develop a nasty habit, worse than what I have now. Anyway, while there, I made a promise/pact with Justin, so we will see how that pans out. Could prove interesting. Outside of the general chaos, all is well.
I can't believe that Bonnie is here. Known her 6 years, yet never saw her face to face, and now she is here and more real than ever. And no, the shock hasn't worn off.
I dream of angels lacking wings
