Almost Physical Pain
I was in my car listening to my favorite radio show when the dj announced that they were giving away tickets to the Adolescents on Friday 8/18. Oow! That's the weekend I'm taking a road trip to San Francisco. About ten minutes later, the dj said that no one claimed the tickets yet, and they were still up for grabs. I was gripped by a spasm of anguish that was nearly palpable! Nothing would make me want to miss out on SF, but you know how the mind works? You know how you think you want something more the more it tantalizes you? I actually suspect this is the key psychologizing behind concerts, and they way they make you wait like 30-40 minutes in between bands in order to make you really, really keen on seeing the show once it finally starts. Anyways, the dj announced three different times that free tickets were still available for the Adolescents. It was so tantalizing that I contemplated not going to SF just so I could claim the tickets and put myself out of my present misery, of having this waved in front of me over and over again...
It's a testament to my love that I resisted the temptation.

oh my gosh! awwww... you are too sweet. much too sweet.
wait wait - you're coming to SF?? and on a weekend when i'm supposed to be in china? NOT fair! i'd be in full support of you getting the concert tickets and coming up to SF a different weekend :)
What, I can't believe I didn't tell you! It must have been decided that after we talked on the phone, or else I must have known you were going to China that weekend so I didn't bring it up. But yeah, I'm taking a short road trip to SF. It wasn't about to happen, but then I found someone else who was driving. Of course, the drawback to that is, I can't pick the date :-(.
