An Homage: Chocolate Snatch...

I've given alot of credit to the people who have made me into the person I am. But right now I'd like to make an homage to the person who is turning me into the person I want to become.

Chocolate Snatch and I met about two years ago and has quickly filled the spot as my emergency contact friend. You know, the person you list under who to call if you are in a fire or car accident or emotional relationship crisis. We'd met in passing at work and one day after we'd both finished our shifts I offered to go out for drinks. We had a few midday beers but instead of going for the awkward interview/small talk route we opted for the nitty gritty subjects. At the time she was dating someone I can't say I thought to fondly of, which more than often seems the case. Then again who really is good enough for her. Within months we became the It couple, aside from the sex, at and around our area. When we were seen out and you happened to be there you were destined for a wild night. But that was never the real us, that only appeared after having a few glasses of wine at home and talking about our endeavors in love, life, and friendships.

I can't say that she just "got me," because in that sense she gets everyone. But most don't get her or appreciate it the way it should be. We are very similar in our thought process which transcends all parts of our lives. Logicality is our God, and from that we decide our own destiny's. With this mindset the Devil becomes our emotions, though Devil's advocate is a common role play in our relationship. She has been my saving grace in ways I will never understand, and I hope it is reciprocated.

CS you are an honest, beautiful, intelligent resource in my life, like water or booze. Thank you for changing me and my life, for knowing what's best for me even when I don't, and for helping my up when I fall down as well as I do. I think I can best describe you as a quote from the Yeah Yeah Yeah's - Maps, "They don't love you like I love you." Though unlike Mapquest you actually DO point me in the right direction.
