Upside Down

I just worked my last weekend for the summer. We had our Christmas in July party Saturday night. It was a good time. My partner and I were the first ones out in the water balloon toss. The water balloon exploded on me. I won the "Best Dish Washer" award because I'm fast. It was nice to be recognized. I have a certificate and a plastic medal to show for it. We had the party outside. Woody's is next door to a bowling alley. I saw a car pull into the bowling alley and thought I knew the people inside so I stared until they got out. When they were out of the vehicle I saw that I did in fact know them. They were friends of my older cousin. I waved and they came over and we chatted. They were both a little out of sorts. They invited me in to go bowling with them, even though I had no money. I said goodbye to the party, which was about to break up any way and went bowling. I hadn't seen these boys in over a year. It was fun. I came in second. After that I went home and slept. It doesn't feel like I'm single again. I think it's because I wanted it this time. The other day I was looking out the window and my heart began to flutter at a handsome trash collector and I realized that it is perfectly ok for me to lust after him. I don't have to feel guilty. So, naturally, I did what any girl in my place would do and ran out there and jumped him in the street professing my undying love for him.
